SUMMARY:Of Blood and Sweat
DESCRIPTION:The Baton Foundation will host a lecture about how Black women and men helped to build wealth and power in U.S. institutions. This program is free to the public\, but registration is required. \nAbout the Book\nIn Of Blood and Sweat (Harper Collins Publishers\, 2022)\, Clyde W. Ford uses the lives of individual Black men and women as a lens to explore the role they have played in creating American institutions of power and wealth—in agriculture\, politics\, jurisprudence\, law enforcement\, culture\, medicine\, financial services\, and many other fields—while not being allowed to fully participate or share in the rewards. Today\, activists have taken the struggle for racial equity and justice to the streets. In his book\, Dr. Ford goes back through time to excavate the roots of this struggle\, from pre-colonial Africa through post-Civil War America. As he reveals\, in tracing the history of almost any major American institution of power and wealth you’ll find it was created by Black Americans–or created to control them. \nPainstakingly researched and documented\, Of Blood and Sweat is a compelling look at the past that holds broad implications for present-day calls for racial equity\, racial justice\, and the abolishment of systemic racism\, and offers invaluable insight into our understanding of Black history and the story of America. \nAbout the Author\nClyde W. Ford is an award-winning author of 12 works of fiction and non-fiction. He is also a psychotherapist\, mythologist\, and sought-after public speaker. Dr. Ford is the recipient of the 2006 Zora Neale Hurston-Richard Wright Award in African American Literature. He has been a featured guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show\, National Public Radio\, and numerous television and radio programs. Clyde lives in Bellingham\, Washington. \nRegister Here for Zoom Lecture
