The American Apartheid Book Series discusses the unfair and brutal treatment of Native Americans and Africans in this country. Similar to the African tradition of storytelling, I recreate the injustices of the founding fathers of America against the ancestors of the Native Americans and enslaved Africans. The historical perspective of American Apartheid sheds light in the dark tunnels of ignorance so prevalent in the teaching of American History. Most black children in the U.S. know that 6 million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. Yet, they don't know that over 120 million Blacks died because of the effects of slavery, neither do they know of the torment the Native American suffered at the hands of their persecutors. Even more alarming, they know nothing about Africans before they were forced to be slaves.
As a black man who is keenly interested in the political and social direction of the nation, I have written and will continue to write the American Apartheid Series in a manner that is easily handled by the average Americans, because I am just an average American citizen. It is my hope that my books will inspire educators to teach history in more than one color and from more than one perspective. It is also my hope that my books will help keep Dr. King's dream alive and jump-start the stalled Civil Rights movement. The stories that I tell must continue to be handed down from generation to generation. If even one generation is allowed to forget, we as Americans risk repeating the horrific mistakes of our forefathers and mothers.
