DANIEL L. JONES' NEW BOOK "HOW BLACKS CAN UNITE AS ONE" IS A RIVETING NARRATIVE THAT CONVEYS THE IMPORTANCE OF UNITY AMONG ALL PEOPLE OF COLOR

Recent release "How Blacks Can Unite as One" from Covenant Books author Daniel L. Jones is a compelling account filled with reverberating perspectives on uniting against bigotry and negativity against the Black people.

Nationwide -- Daniel L. Jones, a dedicated writer and author from Bronx, New York, has completed his new book, How Blacks Can Unite as One: an impassioned account that evokes virtues of resilience, hope, optimism, and camaraderie for all, regardless of culture and race.

Daniel writes, "This is a must-needed book for my race. Trying to break down the walls of hate toward one another. Time to unite as one. My book has a lot of facts that had been forgotten. It seems as if we as blacks should know how to unite, but some are still ignorant to it. This is just a reminder of what we came from and what we should have forward to look to. Because we are strong people but we have a lot of negativity among us that stops a lot of things."
