Customer Reviews

Fascinating, brilliant, enlightened.

I find the statements of Sharpton and Farrakhan quite enlightening. Their comments about juwes is a welcomed inspiration to all of us to exercise our freedom of speech and speak the truth. This book renders the black community with a positive future. Their comments challenge us to stare the truth in the face and not be bogged down with politically correct inhibitions. They are terrific role models for young black men and women.

Independent Black Leadership

This is a critical collection of speeches and commentary for anyone interested in the history of independent (neither Democrat or Republican) black leadership in the United States during the late 1980s. It brings together the voices of three controversial figures: Minister Louis Farrakhan, the head of the Nation of Islam; Dr. Lenora Fulani, the first woman and first African American to get on the ballot in all fifty states running as an independent for U.S. President (in 1988); and the ubiquitous Rev. Al Sharpton, protest leader (now turned Democrat). Unlike most mainstream coverage of these three leaders, this collection contains their own words, without editorial or contextual distortion. An important book that will surely become a classic in the study of Ameican history, political science, and sociology as the role of independent black leaders increasingly becomes recognized as having been a fundamental feature in the struggle to expand democracy in the U.S.
