About this listen

Something's Amiss in America is a biographical story about how racist encounters affected the life of a Black male born and reared in a devout African American Christian home and environment. It takes the listener inside a world where expected matters of social interaction and norms are shattered by the realities of human intolerance and a sense of racial entitlement.

The author's life journey also reveals mitigating encounters with persons—Black and White—who exhibited God's grace and who enabled him to attain a successful and rewarding life.

Much like its symbolic Liberty Bell, the author finds something amiss in America's framework. It is the crack of hubris-inspired racism, perpetrated by ungenerous personalities, that threatens the nation's egalitarian ideals.

In that context, the author believes grace is a key to fulfilling the nation's motto as inscribed on its Great Seal of the United States: E pluribus unum.
