“Views of a Southern Black Man” is a compilation of selected weekly editorials written by the author over a fifteen-year span. In this book, the author shares his experience with racism in the south. He also talks about the problems that continue to plague the African American community as he offers possible solutions. The main objective of this book is to improve race relations, but this will not happen until all Americans come to an agreement as to what’s right and wrong, just and unjust, and be able to separate fact from fiction. While the past serves not only as a reminder of where African American have been and a tool to access where we are today, we cannot successfully move forward while continuing to look back.
