Wake Up Call to America!

This book should be read by all parents who are concerned with the development of their children no matter what the color of their skin. So much of what we take for granted is the basis for the trouble our children have in coping with maturation. How can a mind so influenced with degradation and garbage have a mind filled with hope and creativity. If we have any concern for the future we will make a difference now.
