Nationwide -- In these recent months, the country has witnessed an obvious racial divide. Although many factors have led up to the atomic bomb we see on the evening news, a cultural split definitely tops the list. Countless groups and organizations are on the frontlines fighting for equality and justice yet there is still a void in understanding each other’s frustration. Author Troy Gathers believes that a suitable solution in addition to justice is education.
“Other communities, as well as the African American community, should be educated on African world history,” says Troy. The systems of racism and prejudice are fueled with seeds of ignorance and the lack of concern for any other cultures’ traditions. Troy wants to close the gap with his new book African World History. He trusts that after reading this book, there will be a shift in energy and new grounds to build as one and not a nation at odds.
