Augustina Ekwunife in this phenomenal work has demonstrated that being angry is ok. Feeling pain is ok. But what is not ok is keeping silent! She said; "There's no excuse for not doing your part to individually and collectively ignite change. " She said; 'I want to be the change that I long to see in the world. And she believes that Writing is one of the keys to achieving that."DEDICATED TO ALL THE HEROES AND HEROINES OF BLACK RACE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE, EQUALITY AND HUMAN RIGHTS."IN MEMORY OF ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO LOST THEIR LIVES TO HATE AND RACISM. "LET'S SAY THEIR NAMES..."No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his re-ligion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite." --Nelson Mandela. In Remembrance of George Floyd - George Floyd's death inspired me to write this book. I was angered. I was anguished. Thus I have to say that Hate and Racism is still active and operative . Of all those men, women, girls, and boys that were killed, by police brutality. Not just in America but in Nigeria and all over the world. We see how people are maltreated, brutalised and even mur-dered by those who are meant to protect them. It's not funny at all. And we can't just keep quiet and pretend all is well. And worst still; 'It does not concern me or it's not my business.' It's all our business and it must concern me, you and all of us!"Systemic racism and the events that have unfolded across America over the past few weeks ser-ve as an urgent reminder of the continued change needed in our society." - People Isn't it time we all start to do something no matter how little in our individual capacity and also collectively to help change our current reality. Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects. We will no longer postpone this change. If not Now, when?If not You, Who?" I think we all need to challenge ourselves to be more impactful in other people's lives and look in the mirror and ask, "Am I truly satisfied with the direction of my life?" Michael Baisden"To George Floyd and all that lost their lives to this horrible virus called hate and RACISM, Rest In Peace!"
