Something has happened to the black community. Over the past decades, black America stopped believing that "we shall overcome." Instead, they began accepting handouts from the government, turning away from the values of family, selfless military service, and business ownership that have been pillars of black America from the beginning. Progressive socialism has bound them in what amounts to economic enslavement. In his third book, Lt. Col. Allen B. West (Ret.) takes readers back through the political history of the black community, highlighting the history of public service, self-reliance, ingenuity, strong families, and religious involvement that pulled black Americans through the horrors of slavery, Reconstruction, and decades of Jim Crow laws. These are the values that enabled them to improve their lives--to overcome. We Can Overcome: An American Black Conservative Manifesto urges black America to return to the principles that once had entire neighborhoods building wealth and thriving on Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It's time black Americans remember the strength they possess. In this age of escalating black-on-black violence and increasing government dependency, the sons and daughters of Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, and Martin Luther King Jr. must stand up. We are not victims. We are victors. We can overcome.

Their destinies emerge from triumph, failure, love, and heartbreak, as they discover that even in Heaven decisions always have consequences.

Darwin E. Peek, retired mathematician, doesn't claim to be a wordsmith. Instead, this lifelong Texan and raconteur brands himself a "truth merchant," parlaying his knack for spinning yarns into this entertaining book that immerses readers in a fascinating world of genuine, salt-of-the-earth folks. In large part autobiographical, in some places genealogical, and at all times anecdotal, Darwin's Evolution will delight readers with the author's sage reminiscences of bygone days. This is Peek's experience of life in Texas. From his birth in a West Texas ice storm after crossing the Devil's Backbone on Friday the 13th, 1940, Peek takes us down the trails, paths, tracks, and highways and byways that comprise his road of life. Along the way, we meet Granddad Charlie Peek, who would not allow anyone to take his picture; Grandma Peek, who baked biscuits from scratch three times a day; and habobs, otherwise known as sandstorms, which were common then. Ladies rode both horses and bulls astraddle, not sidesaddle, and the people spoke in a language all their own. Join Darwin E. Peek on his journey, and witness how life changed over time in Darwin's Evolution.
