In 2006, Tavis Smiley teamed up with other leaders in the Black
community to create a national plan of action to address the ten
most crucial issues facing African Americans. The Covenant with
Black America, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller, ran the
gamut from health care to criminal justice, affordable housing to
education, voting rights to racial divides. But a decade later,
Black men still fall to police bullets and brutality, Black women
still die from preventable diseases, Black children still struggle
to get a high quality education, the digital divide and
environmental inequality still persist, and American cities from
Ferguson to Baltimore burn with frustration. In short, the last
decade has seen the evaporation of Black wealth, with Black fellow
citizens having lost ground in nearly every leading economic
category. So Smiley calls for a renewal of The Covenant, presenting
in this new edition the original action plan, with a new foreword
and conclusion, alongside fresh data from the Indiana University
School of Public & Environmental Affairs (SPEA) to underscore
missed opportunities and the work that remains to be done. While
life for far too many African Americans remains a struggle, the
great freedom fighter Frederick Douglass was right: 'If there is no
struggle, there is no progress.' With Smiley leading the charge,
the time has come to finally convert the trials and tribulations of
Black America into the progress that all of America yearns for.
