Aprašymas

Convinced that the final chapter on the life and works of David

Walker has not been fully written nor appreciated, Dr. Johnson

seeks to present additional insights into the life and struggles

of Walker for liberation. It is an approach that gets at the core

of American Racism, and to present a challenge to current and

future generations in order to pursue clarifications of, and answers

to the inconsistencies between America's White Slave System,

Christianity and the message of the Jesus of history.

Dr. Leonard L. Lovett, Ph. D., is a noted Scholar and author. He is the

Ecumenical Officer and director of Urban Affairs, Church of God in Christ.

Deeply rooted in this work is the urging to re-read Black History

specifically, and American History in general in order to arrive at a point

in order to engage in creative and positive dialogue as to the true nature

and degrading realities of chattel slavery in the United States of America.

Because theological themes of racism, liberation and social justice are

pervading foci of this search, as well as is the New Testament Bible, one

must get in touch with the Jesus of history as He is presented therein.

Subsequently, in order to get a better glimpse of the Christ of Faith, one

must take seriously the mandate set forth therein. (Luke 4:18-19). In

order to arrive at that point on one's spiritual and academic pursuits,

the element of faith and divine relationship. Thus, allowing for a deeper

grasp and appreciation of liberation from social, systemic, political and

economic racism. The ultimate goal of liberation is tantamount to the

repentance of the Nation which includes the economic, political, social

systems initially responsible for the original alienation.
