America's Little Black Book

America's Little Black Book is a stand-alone work. It is an important book because ethnic identity in regard to people who are descendants of American Slaves has deteriorated to the danger point. It seems that none of our leaders recognize this. They wouldn't have a clue to solving upcoming problems, because they don't understand today's symptoms, which are the aftereffects of slavery. To better understand, the author explores the other side of slavery through untainted eyes.

Born in 1937, Norris Shelton has lived his life in undeserved discrimination. As an independent entrepreneur, time and again, he has suffered the debilitating effects of prejudice and favoritism in the business world. Fortunately, he learned to survive, and he has many lessons to share. Recognizing and directly addressing the utter unfairness in personal interaction that permeates America and the negative effect bigotry has on all of those sharing his dark-skinned, but truly American-born heritage, Shelton set out to unravel the mystery of why his people have so long tolerated being treated with less dignity and respect when compared to other ethnic groups- "in our own country." His conclusions will surprise you. In this book are observations about the collective birthright of an entire people and their need for self-realization and action. His fresh, new thinking and prescription for change could well break the chain of ignorance that has perpetually plagued these people and, as a result, pave the way toward a true racial-relations breakthrough in America.
