DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is a comparison of; unjust laws suffered by my Great-grand parents, grandparents, and parents, the unfair treatments they suffered during their lives, what I experienced in my life from the early 1940s through today, the progress made in this nation after the Civil Rights movement and where we are today. I have used actual events, excerpts from my novel, Saying Sorry Won´t Stop the Pain, to give a view of the unjust laws, the prejudice, bullying, and unfair treatment endured by my grandparents and great-grand parents and unfair treatment I faced while growing-up and are still facing today. I hope these experiences with unfair treatment, and coping with prejudices and bigotry, will be helpful and motivational to anyone who have, or may encounter similar situations. Stay in school. Don´t quit your job. Don´t give up because someone is trying to make your life as miserable as theirs and to make themselves feel like they are worth something. Lastly, I hope this book motivates those living in America, or other countries, which may happen to read it, to work together for the rights of all people everywhere.
