• FOREWORD 'CHANGE IS GOING TO COME" Nikki Giovanni loves the spirituals-the sacred songs created and first sung by enslaved African peoples in North America in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries. THE JOURNEY These are the questions: How did the enslaved Africans live throught the brutual period of the Middle Passage-that frightening time of capture, forced march to the African west coast, being put down in places like Cape Coast Castle or Goree' Island (like so many cows or horses or any number of life forces human beings pen up)-and come to this newly invented nation sane?

ishamcovin edited the first sentence of Xodus: An African American Male Journey Tuesday, September 27, 2011.

• Preface to the 2007 publication In its rough draft form, the original Xodus project was written in a matter of about four weeks. Preface Today's TV news reports are filled with scenes of African American males as criminals: arms handcuffed behind their backs, faces pushed down on top of cars or against walls, held under the power of an officer of the law. Introduction In an era of increasing racial misunderstanding and conflict, and after seasons of urban unrest, it is time for African American Christians and Black churches to respond seriously to the crisis of opportunity and self-image Black males are facing in the dawn of a high-tech, multicultural world. Chapter 1 Awakenings I am much more than rage, so much more.
