Are We Being Held Captive
By What We Can't See?

  • America was built on a legacy of criminalizing education and other opportunities for Black Americans.

  • How has this actually changed over the course of 155 years of "freedom"? 

  • Are well-meaning politicians, educators, and community leaders languishing in non-solutions?

  • Healing the Wounds of American Slavery is a paradigm-shift.

  • It is a critical exploration of generational wounds that block progress for Black Americans.

  • Payge Means Hopper's thought-provoking book is our blueprint.

  • Healing the Wounds of American Slavery delivers NEW language and ideas, not fossilizing rhetoric.

  • The book: Healing the Wounds of American Slavery holds the POWER to change everything!

"Healing the Wounds of American Slavery by Payge Means Hopper is a brilliant, brilliant piece of work... my view has always been that it is the telling of truth that allows the suffering to speak. If no one tells the truth then the suffering gets rendered invisible...most people, most human beings, most fellow citizens are still in search of truth, that's what life ultimately is, it's a search, it's a quest for truth. It is an amazing book...you are going to hear more about this, trust me. You will here more about this book."

Your book is excellent, Payge. It’s taken me 8 months to read it and I am still not through. But I am savoring it. I just finished reading about death and fear of death chapter. Really can understand now better and am glad to the depth you shared. What a book! -Caroline Minkowski
