They sold you a dream. Now it’s time to wake up. They told you voting would fix it. They said college would change it. They swore the right job, the right tone, the right hashtags would save us. They lied. And they got rich doing it. The Real Black Agenda is not a manifesto—it’s a reckoning. Best-selling author, business coach, and unapologetic truth-teller Dave Anderson rips the veil off the systems, saviors, and strategies that have failed Black America for generations.

The pressures that separate us have a common root: our tendency to cast people and groups in irreconcilable terms – or the process of "othering." This book gives vital language to this universal problem, unveiling its machinery at work across time and around the world.

This new paradigm hinges on transitioning from narrow to expansive identities.

In Little Bosses Everywhere, journalist Bridget Read tells the gripping story of multilevel marketing in full for the first time, winding from sunny postwar California, where a failed salesman started a vitamin business, through the devoutly religious suburbs of Michigan, where the industry built its political influence, to stadium-size conventions where today’s top sellers preach to die-hard recruits. MLM has enriched powerful people, like the DeVos and Van Andel families, Warren Buffett, and President Donald Trump, all while eroding public institutions and the social safety net.

At the time of writing, the politics of identity had began to replace the politics of ideology that dominated the globe in the twentieth-century. Now Rabbi Sack’s heartfelt, clear-sighted and radical proposal for how we might reconcile our differences without violence is as relevant as ever. In it, Sacks argues that we must do more than just search for values common to all faiths.

An Olympic athlete. An award-winning novelist. A successful entrepreneur. All raised under one roof.

Just as important: What were the costs along the way, and what can we glean from their travails and triumphs? The acclaimed New York Times journalist Susan Dominus offers compelling profiles of six such families in search of the factors that led to their success—was it an inherited quality, a specific way of parenting, the influence of a sibling, or a twist of luck?

Police lineup witnesses, trials follow, and all four men receive lengthy prison terms. Case closed. But journalist Brian Patrick O'Donoghue can't put the story out of his mind.

They abandoned King’s philosophy of direct confrontation, which was responsible for the meager gains African Americans made in the 1960s. Real Black leadership was destroyed by White liberals and was replaced by what Dr.
