"America, America!": A Letter to the Nation Written as a Collection of Poetry (Hardcover)

"America, America!" is a penned open letter to our nation that speaks to the current social justice movement in America. Written from an African American lens, the work centers around cultural awareness and cultural responsibility as avenues for positive change in America and around the world. While we may not have all the money, we do have our words and our words have POWER! The final portion of the book presents two speeches, written and delivered by Mr. Harvey in local churches, which offer inspiration, passion and purpose.
