In the book MILLION MAN MARCH, the author travels through recent decades of American History and through daily experiences with racism on his way to the transforming experience of the Million Man March.
After having sought equality through the civil rights movement, the author concludes, "all that came from the movement was integration," not social justice, not equal opportunity, and not freedom from police brutality. "Minorities, without realizing it, are just as much on reservations as the Native Americans." he believes, but he found "each one of us has a job to do after the March"
Here is a book that speaks most eloquently for the oppressed.
Martial Arts Master Percy James Brown was born and raised in Montgomery Alabama during the Civil Rights Movement. As a youth he participated in marches led by Dr. Martin Luther King Junior.
He joined the United State Marine Corps at the age of seventeen and served as a Machine Gunner. He began studying Martial Arts after being attacked and robbed at the age of seven. His studies continued during and after his service in the Marine Corps.
In 2013 Master Percy Brown was inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame/Hall of Heroes. In 2016 he received a certificate in appreciation for dedication to the Martial Arts and for significant contributions to furthering peace, harmony, and universal happiness. The certificate was presented by the Action International Martial Arts Association.
