While a decade of national prosperity has largely left African Americans behind, this book takes a look at the causes of black economic oppression and offers challenging steps to overcome this problem. Rather than relying on a victim's mentality, this book addresses the reasons why African Americans earn over $530 billion, yet spend less than 3 percent with black-owned business. Also discussed are black churches and organizations and their failure to be economic leaders in their communities.

Not only identifies problems, it also offers solutions,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Saving Black America: Economic Civil Rights (Hardcover)
In Saving Black America: An Economic Plan For Civil Rights, consultant, educator, and civil rights leader John Odom addresses the very real issues of poverty and finance that directly affect millions of African-Americans today. Focusing in turns on the dilemma of whether Civil Rights organizations can accept donations from predominantly white foundations and remain focused on liberation strategies, why and how one third of African-Americans today live below the poverty line and what should be done about it, and much more. An absolute must-read for every American civil rights activist, Saving Black America not only identifies problems, it also offers solutions and blueprints to put in action for a better tomorrow.
