The dire warnings of disaster continue to sow distrust among American citizens and demand a solution. For years, we Americans have struggled to stand coherently together to face the interconnected problems within our country. But unless we stand together as a unified front, our children will continue to be lost to hate, and peace will never prevail. In Survival of the Alphabet, I Shonda Parks confronts the racism, the neglect, and the poverty that flows from race to race, culture to culture, and envelops our nation. This collection of poetry, flowing alphabetically in its language, rings with the voice of change in demands that we break the generational curses and unite as a nation to save the lives of today and the future. For decades, African Americans have battled hate. For decades, children have lived in fear of the unknown, without a chance to live freely and smile. For decades, mothers have cried, mourning the losses of their sons and daughters due to senseless murders. For decades, we have all pointed our fingers, seldom looking at our own role in the suffering. No more. Read and be inspired to brave the barriers that keep us separated. When we walk in togetherness, no matter our race or culture, we are encouraged to spread love to all so that we may change the coming generations and stop the hate and violence that occurs in the name of color, race, and religion. Until God announces our end, we must become better as a whole and be the healing America so desperately needs.
