When Wait Your Turn Means No Turn at All (eBook, ePUB)

A Millennial Perspective of Black Church, Black College, and Black Community

Beschreibung

Historically Black people have placed their collective weight upon and trust in a four-legged stool. This stool has been the chair we have pulled up to each and every table of inclusion and exclusion. The legs of this stool have been held up by the Black Church, Black College, Black Family and Black Citizenship. These proverbial legs will stand in each chapter of this book along with a biblical parallel. If any one of these legs were to collapse, the entire stool crumbles and our people's stability is lost as well.
