After decades of so-called advances in race relations in America, it's once again open season on black folks. Police shootings of unarmed black men, wonen, and children are up; civil rights are down and out. A major question of the day: Who will protect black Americans when the U.S. government looks the other way and makes excuses? When tragedy strikes close to home, it's a question that journalist Andy Blackman must ask himself: "Where do I stand?" It's a question that Minister Johnnie "Black Label" Walker, the leader of the militant Covenant of the New Commandment, has pondered constantly during a forty-year ministry: "What would the Creator have us do?" And it's a question that a mysterious group who call themselves Unit 2236 has a very definite answer for: "We will protect you." "2236" delves deep into the dynamics of race relations, the role of religion in liberation, the anguish of repression, and the power of resistance. When life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness ring hollow for a people, when "a government has become destructive of those ends," what should people do? What did the "forefathers" of this country do? "2236" is a must read for anyone who sees--and is disturbed by--the erosion of democracy in the United States and the emergence of an empire.ASIN: 097937829XVSKU: LFV.097937829X.VGCondition: Very GoodAuthor/Artist:McGriff, MiltonBinding: PaperbackNote: Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.
