  • Juneteenth – Time to Contemplate – Not Just Celebrate

    For generations, Black Americans have celebrated Juneteenth with joy through various forms, including parades, street festivals, musical performances, and cookouts. However, I believe that Juneteenth should be a day of Contemplation as well as a time of Celebration.

  • Time To Shine
    There's an old saying, "When you want something done right, you should do it yourself.  That is the theme of this podcast. African Americans, the descendants of enslaved Africans should have made much more progress over the last 50 years.  Why we haven't is due to weak and ineffective leadership.  It is time to do things differently. We must create and implement the agenda to accomplish our goal of prosperity, equality, and respect here in America.  This podcast will make a strong and irrefutable case for a National Organization created and administered by us.  This first episode begins making the case.

  • America's Political Dysfunction. What's It All About?
    The political climate in America is toxic and dangerous.  The rhetoric is antagonistic, hate-filled, and divisive. Why would our political leaders, who are supposed to be intelligent and reasonable individuals, participate in such negative and destructive behavior?  In this podcast, I will reveal what I believe to be the impetus for the unpatriotic and dangerous political climate in America.

  • Fertile Ground Produces Positive Growth - How To Save Our Children
    Our Children are our future.  If we don't protect them our future is dismal, bleak, and scary.  Our communities must find a way to rid our communities of crime and violence if we want to give our children a chance to grow, compete and prosper. The world is rapidly moving in a technical direction.  The future of jobs, careers, and business will be of a technical nature.  If you lack technical skills you will be left out of the job market. You won't be able to start a business.  If our children are not given the environment and support to compete, they will be relegated to the fringes of society.  This episode talks blatantly and honestly about what we need to do to save our babies.

  • The Beauty, Power and Wisdom of Our Ancient Ancestral Culture and Spirituality
    The unity of a people is always based on something that is bigger than any individual.  No one man or woman can be the salvation of a people because when that individual dies the unity becomes fragmented due to a leadership vacuum.  Embracing our ancestral culture and spirituality has been something we, African Americans, the descendants of enslaved Africans, have never seriously considered.  Why is this?  This episode offers a unique perspective as to why we are reluctant to reconnect with our true history, culture, and spirituality.

About Black America Rising

From the publisher's feed

There has been a leadership vacuum in the Black Community for the last 60 years. This leadership vacuum has been the number one detriment to our community. It has been the major reason why our community continues to lag in education, entrepreneurship, and politic influence. It has also contributed to a rise in gangs, crime, and the lack of any sense of community unity.
