Excerpt from “A Dream Derailed”

There was every reason to hope the struggle for civil rights would bring about greater freedom and independence for blacks in America. Yet today, we find that many black leaders have forgotten what inspired that struggle. Many of these leaders urge black Americans to look for inspiration from government and political agendas that undermine the moral fabric of the Church – the same Church that guided the civil rights movement!

Even though destruction is looming over our lives, there is hope for America. By sharing not only testimonials, but case studies and best practices, the Owenses have crafted a “rescue manual” for black America. In applying the principle of, “putting your own mask on first,” as most airlines advise passengers in case of an emergency, they are bringing a message of hope and a strategy for strengthening black America.
