The End of Racism in America - Paperback

by Fredrick Douglas Jr. Richardson (Author)

The book, "The End of Racism In America," traces the monster called racism, from the day "Junior" was born, in 1939, and documents thereafter, the horrendous effort put forth, for the greater part of "Junior's" life, to assure him a place in the basement of the greatest nation on the face of the earth: America. When "Junior" moved from his native Alabama rural community called Nymph, where he was one of twelve children who lived in abject poverty, he located to the big city of Mobile, AL. He soon discovered he was doomed to second class citizenship, simply based on his back skin. In fact, laws guaranteed his inability to compete with whites in any segment of society. This book will show that "Junior" overcame every obstacle intended to assure him a lifetime of second-class citizenship, and rose up to become a mighty leader, the third highest ranking elected official of the City of Mobile. You will see that "Junior" was haunted most of his life over America's false notion that he was born innately inferior to others, simply based on his black skin. You will see that "Junior" graduated from many schools of higher learning, including the University of South Alabama; while on a mission to find evidence prove to the world he was equal to any human on planet earth. After traveling the world over, becoming an avid student of the Bible, and majored in history, he is, in his book, offering to America, a foolproof formula, to end the very notion of racism in America, in his lifetime. He is 84.
