AmeriKKKa's Original Sin: A Collection of Essays on Racism and the Continuing Scourge of White Supremacy - (Hardback or Cased Book)

AmeriKKKa's Original Sin is a powerful and thought-provoking collection of essays that examines the enduring legacy of racism and white supremacy in the United States. What began as the author's spontaneous reflections on recent events affecting African Americans has evolved into a deeply personal and historically grounded exploration of systemic injustice in America.Torrence, a product of the civil rights era, was raised on the campuses of Tuskegee Institute and Tennessee State University, where his father held prestigious academic leadership roles. Despite this privileged environment, it wasn't until later in life-through deep historical study-that he began to fully understand the depth and duality of the American racial experience.Drawing on the writings and philosophies of influential figures such as Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. DuBois, and Malcolm X, Torrence uncovers the persistent threads of racism woven throughout American history. Each essay offers sharp insights into the nation's struggle with race, revealing the ways in which historical patterns continue to shape present-day realities for African Americans.With clarity and conviction, AmeriKKKa's Original Sin challenges readers to confront the uncomfortable truths of the nation's past and present. It is not only a reflection on what has been, but a compelling call to action-urging a collective reckoning and the pursuit of true racial equity. This is an essential read for anyone seeking to engage deeply with the continuing fight for justice in America.
