Uninvited: Book One: The Backstory to the "Black-Story" / Book Two: Re-"Vision"

America had finally elected its first Black President-and for two terms at that. To have a Black man in the White House was at last the realization of a dream-a dream which had propelled generations of African Americans to holy and civic action. It sure had been a long time coming. However, even with a Black President in office, gross inequities persisted.During several administrations, strides had been taken and legislation enacted which were directly aimed at benefiting the Black Community. Even before all this, a small contingent of forward-thinking Black leaders had already hatched a plan which would totally reshape the conversation about the Black plight, Black progress and Black promise. They felt compelled to shift their narrative from one of dependence upon government "gimmes" and socialized subsistence to one of self-sufficiency and self-determination. They felt obliged to take matters into their own hands and on their own terms for the future of their people. From now on, it would be up to Black people to create their own opportunities. But first, they would need something to unify them as a group.A research team was formed early on to thoroughly study the "Black Problem." After pouring over the mounds of data, they came to the conclusion that the only path to solidarity, solvency and success was to have their own land and build their own country. And outlandish notion? Perhaps, but they saw no other option. The research group took their proposal to Washington.Their fight was fierce and long, but they eventually obtained a concession. Would it be enough to propel them and their families to their future? Which hazards, setbacks or even opportunities would they encounter? Follow the saga of a small, but determined group of Black trailblazers in erecting, not just a unique community, but an entire culture in their quest to fulfill their own "Manifest Destinies." Rosewood, Black Wall Street and other Black communities had been just the beginning.
