The First Nation of Africa Walker Norris

Readers are introduced to the thoughts of a black woman who grew up second guessing her ancestry and religious beliefs. Her uncertainty came from the information she learned about the horrid past of her people. As the city she lives in continues to see gun violence become a weekly part of life she realizes little empathy was offered for one of America's most gruesome sin. But she knows deep within there's a lingering connection. Something from long ago is still haunting the mind and spirit of African people. She decides it is time to find this stronghold and confront it. The story begins with a comparison of histories; from the most talked about story of slavery in the Bible to the horrendous story of slavery in America. God sent one man to deliver the "Children of Israel" while slavery in the United States concluded with a war. Leaving her to ask the ultimate question... Did God send an Army to deliver His people this time? Now she is forced to find the answer. Now she is forced to confront her fears. As she enters the dark tunnel of time, she hears voices. Voices of those who cry out to tell their story. They come to her from the distance because they want the share the truth. They show her the imperfections but they teach us the most humane spiritual lesson of all time. Nothing could make them lose sight of their mission. Nothing could destroy their faith and no one could make them turn away from the "Almighty God" they served. They leave us the greatest legacy ever lived and together we rebuild a Nation.
