Heaven Helps Those Who Help Themselves - Markeith Sams - Bog

There are many issues that affect the African American community that are not being addressed adequately. For a long time now, many African American people have been under the impression or made to feel that they are helpless and need to depend on someone on the outside to help them rebuild their communities. Of course, this is not true. No one from the outside is coming to help rebuild a community in which they do not live. It is time for us as Black people or African Americans in this country to take responsibility for our own neighborhoods and our own schools and our own economics and our own future. For us to thrive as a community and prosper, we must figure out the answers to these questions and understand why we do not force ourselves to live up to our full potential. It is up to us and only us to better our situations and rebuild our communities.
