Not only identifies problems, it also offers solutions

In Saving Black America: An Economic Plan For Civil Rights, consultant, educator, and civil rights leader John Odom addresses the very real issues of poverty and finance that directly affect millions of African-Americans today. Focusing in turns on the dilemma of whether Civil Rights organizations can accept donations from predominantly white foundations and remain focused on liberation strategies, why and how one third of African-Americans today live below the poverty line and what should be done about it, and much more. An absolute must-read for every American civil rights activist, Saving Black America not only identifies problems, it also offers solutions and blueprints to put in action for a better tomorrow.
