<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Open. Sincere. Honest. Unfiltered.</p><p>In early June of 2020, many of us found ourselves unable to sleep ... unable to function normally ... unable to comprehend that once again, a black man found himself unable to breathe and ultimately met his demise at the hands of the police. </p><p>You may have also found yourself in a state of shock and wanting to do something. The contributors to <em>A Collective Breath: Stories of Being Black in America and Visions of Change </em>found themselves in similar positions.</p><p>Their candid, personal thoughts and feelings reveal the many challenges that blacks face in America today-challenges they may not directly divulge to others but that are part of their realities, and they offer ideas for solutions and actions to pave the way to a more optimistic future.</p><p>Consisting of a wide variety of blacks who are well-educated; who are community leaders, entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals; and who are involved with their families and religious organizations, the contributors tell of what it is like to be black in America. </p><p><em>In A Collective Breath</em>, the contributors do not hold back.</p><p>They take a collective breath -- the breaths that George Floyd, Manuel Ellis, Javier Ambler, Eric Garner, and so many others could not take -- to document for the world how they feel in this moment; the lenses through which they, as blacks in America, view and live their lives; and what they believe needs to change today for a different tomorrow.</p>
