To Undress a Nation: In Blackness and Ethics

About the Book

To Undress a Nation in Blackness and Ethics brings a fresh renewal of poetic sounds to the Black communities from historical playwrights, short stories, song, and literature of our past, present, and future foundation. In lighten of our quest for knowledge, poetry has always brought to light the feelings and emotional accomplishments of our past and envision our future endeavors to overcome all obstacles that has hindered the fundamental structure of our history. Th ose things that were lost and forgotten can be revived by our endeavored search of our religious past, present, and future accomplishments through religious studies of the Word of God. I proclaim, only prophetically, poetry to become the driving force that will strengthen the emotional ties that lie within the fabric structure of our beginning history in the world of God as the hamities lineage, which has been told in the book of Genesis.
