Everyday people follow the easy path of submission and conformity, andignore their own internal cries of a better future, and environment forthemselves and their offspring. Even though they know there is a better way,some are ignorant at the correct steps to take, and find themselves boggeddown with the minutia of ghetto life. For those who don't learn from theirmistakes, they often repeat them and can be seen regretting the way theirlives are heading.To the ones who stay up at night, praying for a better way, Letters to aBrokenhearted Ghetto was penned for you. Julius Edwards, who sawthe path that his people took, and noticed the momentous potential thatwas being wasted, wrote an impassioned cry to the revelers of buffooneryand the ones who want to change. Knowing that transformation firststarts internally, Edwards' book works to help address the mentalviewpoints that are toxic to our thinking and our being, then he addressesthe history of African Americans to help build their knowledge.By attempting to address the larger issues that affect the ghetto, Edwardshope to inspire a change in the people who haplessly live in the ghetto.Complaining doesn't get results, but with a gentle nod in the right direction,Letters to a Brokenhearted Ghetto might be the answer that many lostcitizens have prayed for.
