Hands Up (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780692952566)

Today, too many of our young people, especially African-American males are dying by the hands of police officers. There has been too much pain resonating through families, communities, and this nation. Our goal should be to eradicate this violence and bring our children home alive.

Hands Up focuses on one strategy that parents and educators can teach children to come home alive. Our children need to be taught this strategy because a caring adult will not always be there to protect them.

It has become evident that police officers throughout this nation could benefit from more training. Let us not forget to train our children and the best place to begin is in the home. Parents, teach your children this strategy and, no, it is not a guarantee to be safe in these incidents, however it could render hope to parents and children. to increase the efforts and faith for our children to come home alive. Hands Up can be a beginning.
