Designs of Omission: America's Original Sin is an introduction to the systematic omissions and erasures of truth in our U.S. History books. The Constitution of the United States is America's Original Sin, having excluded Blacks, Native Americans, and women from citizenship.


Intended for taxation and representation purposes only, the three-fifths valuation of enslaved Blacks instead inculcated into the psyches of white people proof of white superiority and Black inferiority. Transferred from generation to generation, the exponential damage of this racism is irreparable.


Because enslaved Blacks and Indigenous peoples were omitted from the protections of our Consti-tution, individual rights violations and inequities have continued such that, hundreds of years later, we are once again at the edge of the same abyss that preceded the Civil War.


Designs of Omission provides a historical backdrop to racism, immigration, multiculturalism, exclusions and offers solutions for systemic change and inclusion in America. Hopefully, the facts will spark a recognition of the exclusion and racism inherent in our institutional and systemic designs and become a catalyst for discussion, activism, and change.
