“Prepare to be amazed!” That is what immediately came to mind once I completed reading

this outstanding manifesto by Ronnie Lucas. Not amazed as when you view a magic trick, for

there’s nothing tricky here. Rather, amazed as when you come upon something that you’ve never

encountered before, and you’re shaken to your core. This work encompasses a life’s study and

recognition of the strife and struggles of people of color throughout the Diaspora. It moves easily

from an historical backdrop to our present status, including challenges and important positives.

For over 30 years, I have watched Mr. Lucas read and study and listen and watch and read even

more, while successfully running several businesses with his entrepreneurial brilliance. Due to his

extensive knowledge and success with solving financial struggles of others through real estate

ventures for many years, this book offers real solutions to the current dilemmas facing Black

people around the world.
