Book excerpt: "'The time has come for this nation to fulfill its promise.' John F. Kennedy was born one hundred years ago. As America's thirty-fifth president, he often took bold actions: establishing a peace corps and challenging Americans to land on the moon. But on civil rights, it took the urging and the example of other courageous people--leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Jackie Robinson, and even students and children--to help him realize that the time to act was now. On June 11, 1963, Kennedy's 'big speech'--his civil rights address--was a game changer, and his efforts laid the groundwork for the Civil Rights Act of 1964--but our country's work is not finished"--

Book Synopsis A Time to Act by : William Jusme

Download or read book A Time to Act written by William Jusme. This book was released on 2021-11-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, I talk about my life experience as a farmworker, a veteran of the United States Navy, a businessman, and a promise that I made to my mother before she passed away in 1983 due to breast cancer. Living in the diaspora, many of Haitian descent do not know much about Haiti's unique history. Therefore, I also provide my opinion on Haitian history and how the Haitians in the diaspora and those in Haiti could work together to change Haiti for the better. As people of African descent, we must know our heritage to understand better who we are and what we need to do to strengthen our global presence. We are scattered all over the planet, but we are very weak on many fronts. So, I talk about our mistakes and what we need to do to elevate ourselves to a new echelon on the world stage. Furthermore, I provide my opinion about some of the United Nations' unfortunate deployments in Black countries that have caused many problems. As a Haitian-American, I also talk about the United States' massive division that poses a threat to our national security and what we may have to do to change the negative development facing the United States of America.
