American't (Book II): The Fraternity is Black (A Prequel)

Synopsis: Readers of book one demanded the origin stories of the Black men and how they met. That story originated on the world-famous campus of Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. Six lives came together and were forever changed through the discovery of self and the magic that transpires when bonding with others. If college is where we go to find ourselves, then it's also where we go to discover love, friends, hope, pride and a possession of knowledge that prepares us for what lies waiting in the campus afterlife.

So, let's walk backwards and observe the origin stories of the Black men who came together to battle their personal luggage taken to school with them, called family, and their new battles introduced as they slithered through their collegiate experiences, called growth.

If book one asked the proverbial question, "What do we do with the white people?" Then allow book two to ask a more pungent and intuitive question, "What do we do with the Black people?" When placed in charge, do Black people actually empower and uplift their own, or do they subjugate their own onto a sub-plantation that's just as emotionally and psychologically damaging as the larger plantation on which it sits? Walk the campus with Knowledge and observe his perspective of the HBCU, and just maybe, you'll discover how Black life shaped him into the man you fell in love with, in book one.
