Black Nationalism Still Alive and Well is a sequel that highlights an elevated awareness among African Americans in recognizing forces at play and recounts Nationalist responses grounded in religious, philosophic and spiritual consciousness to meet challenges such realities pose, whether in form of forgiving a house of worship killer, challenging Defense of a Myth, or recognizing the History and Vision of Black Solidarity Day! The continuing struggle has evolved into nationwide active demonstrations as young people especially of all ethnic nationalities even sexual orientations, network and realize Today for me, Tomorrow for you! As such, numerous issues covered in the broad and unfolding expanse of Black Nationalism -Still Alive and Well enables readers to better understand as in questions that follow: How did Dr. Adelaide Sanford celebrate her 90th Birthday? Who is Betty Dopson and what’s her claim to fame? What philosophical and activist realization came out of the Million Man March’s Justice or Else Agenda? How do we reflect upon the importance of Marcus Garvey? Is racism truly imbedded in the DNA of the State of Missouri? How has Pan-Africanism advanced the aspirations of Africans globally? What is the mood of the country presently and where is the Arc of the Moral Universe now? What is the proper response to Lynching as Racial Terror? What have we learned about Eric Garner one year later? How effective is a March on Washington half a century after Martin Luther King’s historic speech? These questions and more Black Nationalism - Still Alive and Well poses and seeks to address. The Million Man March’s Agenda of ‘Justice or Else’ is a new and recurring philosophical and nationalist masterpiece planted in the nation’s political epicenter that will have impact for years to come. The mood of the country attests we are nowhere beyond a Post-racial Period in this nation particularly since Missouri especially has shown racism seems to be part of its DNA as the scourge of racial hatred continues to manifest throughout the nation. When Barack Obama is insulted from within and outside Congress we shudder and pray for this country as we also wonder how effective is an economic boycott really? Whether celebrating Mothers’ Day; the Queen of Sheba; the Illustrious Queen Mother; and not to mention Adelaide Sanford and Betty Dopson, this Black Nationalism - Still Alive and Well lets us realize these Black Women have been phenomenal guideposts and Warrior Queens across the broad spectrum of the African activist struggle especially for social, economic and educational justice and advancement. Revolutionaries come and go but the Revolutionary Sonny Carson’s life work and image continues to motivate our people to struggle. Yet, if Jesse Jackson in 2009 could boast Barack Obama is the best the Civil Rights Movement has to offer, and if he could be so disrespected and disparaged, we wonder at the level of the morality of Republicans especially who encouraged a climate of disrespect and racial hatred towards the President of this great nation. Equally so, we ask, ‘What then of the little Black citizen?’ Dr. Fred Monderson is a retired college professor and New York City educator who taught African and African-American history in college and American History and Government in the Middle and High Schools of New York City.
