5 First Steps
In Five First Steps: Suggestions on How Black Americans Might Save Themselves, Vickey Wilcher delivers five short essays that lay out the steps she believes Black Americans from all walks of life will need to take to save themselves from extinction. The essays address historical and socio-cultural norms that have often led or forced many Black Americans to think of themselves, and to live, as less than. Each essay then calls for Black Americans to take specific actions to change the way they think about and treat themselves and one another, so that the group is prepared to take the lead in raising itself to equity of personhood, socio-economic equality, and the inalienable right to sustained existence.
Through these five essays, readers are offered practical, easy-to-follow suggestions on how to accept and embrace personal and group responsibility for transforming past cultural, systemic, and oppressive challenges into the building blocks needed to ensure an overall enhancement in the quality and sustainability of life for Black American individuals, families, and communities. As a result, the whole of American society can benefit.
