I am asked by many loved ones, why the title Breaking Shackles: The Story of the Lowly Dishwasher most often. My response is questions you ask about a higher power and or about self. Breaking Shackles is a profound series about a young man destined to fulfill a walk for understanding. That understanding as a guide and gift to reach peace and stillness on earth most likely a lost art to humankind. While not being a victim everything was afforded to me for as long as I can remember. For some reason, I found myself always rebelling, living in a single-parent home with nine other siblings. I found myself following in my oldest brother footsteps to over a decade of incarceration at the age of twenty. This is the true story of being alone thrust into the penitentiary system while being assaulted, robbed, vulnerable, and taken advantage of. In this heart-wrenching first saga, the author learns a new way of life which leads to a Sibilance of tasting ultimate enlightenment to share with the world.

In 1889, Broken Shackles was published in Toronto under the pseudonym of Glenelg. This very unique book, containing the recollections of a resident of Owen Sound, Ontario, an African American known as Old Man Henson, was one of the very few books that documented the journey to Canada from the perspective of a person of African descent. Now, over 112 years later, a new edition of Broken Shackles is available. Henson was a great storyteller and the spark of life shines through as he describes the horrors of slavery and his goal of escaping its tenacious hold. His times as a slave in Maryland, his refuge in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and his ultimate freedom in Canada are vividly depicted through his remembrances. The stories of Henson's family, friends and enemies will both amuse and shock the readers of Broken Shackles: Old Man Henson From Slavery to Freedom. It is interesting to discover that his observations of life's struggles and triumphs are as relevant today as they were in his time.

African-American history is intertwined into the greater context of American history. To understand contemporary race relations in the United States of America, one must understand its past. Breaking Shackles! The African-American Male Manifesto by Dr. Morris B. Clarington is a seminal work on comprehending the nature of race, prejudice, and discrimination. This book follows the long and turbulent journey of African-Americans throughout history, and their rich culture. Each chapter is a glimpse into Dr. Clarington's soul. Raised in Georgia, Dr. Clarington shares what it was like to grow up as an African-American male in the rural South. He examines African-American involvement in American history, society, politics, and culture. His touching and powerful accounts are both accessible and emotionally charged. American history tends to perpetuate myths about the African-American males' position in history. Soiled by an embarrassing combination of blind patriotism, mindless optimism, sheer misinformation, and outright lies, current American history books attempt to omit almost all the ambiguity, passion, conflict, and drama from the African-American past. Dr. Clarington sheds light on the real African-American experience in U.S. history by retelling what it has meant to be a black male in America and how they have sought to counter oppression and racism. Dr. Clarington provides an inspiring view of African-Americans advancing against negative media portrayals, poverty, and a debilitating worldview. He uses quotes from revered civil rights heroes, businessman, politicians, the Bible, and other sources to support his ideas. This book is essential reading for everyone interested in African-American history and the struggle for civil rights in America.
