    About this ebook



    I
    was born in a small Kentucky town named, Richmond. I had no concept of color
    or cultural differences during the first four years of my life.style="mso-spacerun: yes">



    The
    one common background of African Americans is our Antebellum Slave heritage.
    Antebellum Slavery replaced the culture of African people brought into the
    system with a new aberrant slave culture. Remnants of this culture appear to
    exist in the modern African American culture due to the continued isolation of
    the culture during Jim Crow Segregation. I found these remnants were in me.



    I
    was subjected to many of the negative images of race during my early life in
    Jim Crow Segregation. Initially my scope of our race, self perception, and
    self-definition were affected by the molding of Jim Crow Segregation.



    My
    experience again demonstrated to me that self-determination is the best
    possible scenario for success in life. We can prosper by embracing the
    positives of the American culture and benefit from the American Dream.



    I
    survived the violence, social and psychological impacts of Jim Crow
    Segregation. I resisted the social and psychological molding of Jim Crow
    Segregation therefore; I am not the product of Jim Crow Segregation. I am not
    perpetuating the legacy of Antebellum Slavery or Jim Crow Segregation in
    everyday life. I am proud of my heritage. Genetically I am African, Welsh
    English-Caucasian and Cherokee-Native American. I am an American.
