In author James C. Rollins third installment in his series of books about African American's place in America, "From the Curse of Willie Lynch to the New African American Generation" (published by Trafford Publishing), readers find themselves navigating the treacherous years between Martin Luther King Jr.'s death and Barak Obama's election to presidency. "The book discusses how African Americans can now begin to believe in themselves and build a strong society," says Rollins. "This is the era of the awakening."

Each chapter is broken down in an easy-to-follow format where Rollins guides readers through the important elements needed to create a proud, strong, black segment of American society. Readers will learn about such topics as:

  • New, young leadership
  • Sound and viable educational opportunities
  • Wealth building
  • Political power

They must understand that we have been to the top of the mountain before, after the end of slavery, only to allow ourselves to be re-enslaved," states Rollins. "We got to the top of the mountain again after the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1965, only to allow drugs to take it away from us again. We must commit to never allow anybody or anything to keep Black people from building their Shining City on the Hill...."
