  • The Last War - Racism and Spirituality?
    Oct 14 2013
    The Roman Empire did not colorize the person. Rome is arguably the roots of Western civilization. Slavery existed, but not with the racism we know of today. Any form of slavery is bad, but the world hadn’t seen anything yet until bestial slavery began in the15th century. Exactly what deadly mix of elements and circumstances spawned a new form of slavery that still haunts us today? It’s not just economics. How can we untangle this violent web….faster? Can Politics do it? Can the Legal System do it. How about Thriving Materialism? Religion alone hasn’t done it yet. Can researchers pinpoint the form of dehumanization before bestial slavery that led to hyper-racism? What were the drivers in Europe that rationalized a worse form of racism? Maybe we can connect the dots. Join Author and Professor Dr. Mark Perry with his brilliantly researched book, The Last War: Racism, Spirituality and the Future of Civilization with a view on what must happen to climb out of the racism ditch.

  • He Just Won’t Quit! Who is Dr. Clarence Jones Really?
    Oct 7 2013
    Why did Martin Luther King, Jr. trust this man so much? Yes, Dr. Clarence B. Jones assisted in drafting King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, was his lawyer, and personally brought the “Letter from Birmingham Jail” to the light of day. But how does a Black man in America go from spending time in a foster home to iconic history? What are his personal thoughts that helped change the course of history? What didn’t happen that he knows would have caused justice to surge higher? What held him together then and now? How far are we from a country, and maybe a world, from a place where character trumps skin color? At 82 years old, Clarence B. Jones has not quit, nor gone on permanent vacation when he could. Why is his commitment so deep and strong? He is arguably the most trusted man in America. Now we can listen to what he believes are the next most important developments to continue forward. Find out what this national treasure of a man will dare to share that maybe no one else can.

  • How They Pushed Through Racial Pain and Trauma
    Sep 30 2013
    ‘Let’s become friends on purpose’, they said. What? The daughter of enslaved Africans and the son of slave traders agree to test a rarely traveled road? Is this a sign of “POST Racial American Society” in 2013? Really? What happens when an African-American (Black) woman and a European-American (White) man engage in each other’s lives, as friends, to test out a model of racial healing beyond the polite comments and the comfort of racial healing workshops? What did they learn about themselves? Can they actually get to the other side of the bald-faced truth and reality of the US history on race? Will anger, guilt, and shame cause them to shrink back into that small box of fear and ‘let it be’ thinking? What is the price for pushing through the pain, and was it worth it? Join us for an in-depth and piercing look into the journey of Sharon L. Morgan, and Thomas N. DeWolf, authors of Gathering at the Table: The Healing Journey of a Daughter of Slavery, and a Son of the Slave Trade.
