On the Right Road to the Promised Land: From Economic Passengers to Economic Drivers

The narrative explores the historical struggle for black self-determination in America, tracing a line from Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream to contemporary protests against systemic inequality. It highlights a critical moment in 1865 when General Sherman proposed land grants to freed slaves, which were ultimately rescinded, leading to a cycle of oppression. The book examines the persistent wealth gap and the ongoing efforts by corporations and governments to address these disparities, reflecting on the challenges faced by black Americans in their pursuit of economic independence.
