Rebels of Independence (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781438916378)

REBELS of Independence Mr. Powell paints a stunningly vivid picture of racial and religious bigotry and prejudice... "Slavery's Baggage"... which has been handed down from generation to generation of white and black southern children by their families, preachers, teachers, and friends since that first shipload of human cargo arrived on American soil in 1619. Then, using his father's life and the friendship of two young boys - one black, the other white - as a backdrop, he tells a simple story about typical Mississippians . . .devoutly religious, hard working, mostly country people, of "good moral fibre"... and how they are throwing off that yoke. He acknowledges some progress in human relations in the last century, but says those "roots of prejudice" are still being passed along by everyday moms and dads - the very "backbone" of our Country - to sons and daughters throughout America. Considering our history of racial and religious biases, he asks... "Where will we be in 2035?"
