The book's main theme is 'Racial Reconciliation' as we work towards a more harmonious relationship within our society at large. Though entitled "The Destiny of the Black Race", it is not a 'black book" but rather a well-balanced work that look at the 'cause and effect' of racial disharmony and the main pool of contributors to this dilemma. The work also advances the positive and diverse contributions of the black community to the advancement of racial harmony and Western civilization as a whole. It also points out a "Biblical Destiny of The Black Race". It is an excellent and powerful reader! You've got to read it! It is used largely in a diverse cross-section of the nation as a study aid.
