From journalist and New York Times bestselling author Charles Blow comes a powerful manifesto urging Black Americans to amass political power and combat white supremacy. While race is a social construct, racism is a harsh reality. The goal is not to create a new racial hierarchy but to dismantle the existing one. After centuries of waiting for white majorities to address white supremacy, Blow asserts that it is now up to Black individuals to take action. He never intended to write a "race book," but the escalating violence against Black people, particularly during the pandemic and the protests of 2020, compelled him to craft a new narrative. This work serves as a succinct and impassioned corrective to the myths surrounding race and geography in America. Drawing from his political insights and personal experiences as a Black man from the South, Blow presents a call to action for Black people to achieve equality on their own terms. He argues that lasting change requires a significant shift in power. This groundbreaking manifesto proposes an audacious power play by Black Americans, offering a roadmap to true and lasting freedom for generations to come.
