A concise, engaging, and provocative history of African Americans since World War II, Peace Be Still is also nothing less than an alternate history of the United States in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Organizing this history around culture, politics, and resistance, Matthew C. Whitaker takes us from World War II as a galvanizing force for African American activism and the modern civil rights movement to the culmination of generations of struggle in the election of Barack Obama. From the promise of the post–World War II era to the black power movement of the 1960s, the economic and political struggles of the 1970s, and the major ideological realignment of political culture during the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s, this book chronicles a people fighting oppression while fashioning a dynamic culture of artistic and religious expression along with a program of educational and professional advancement. A resurgence of rigid conservative right-wing policies, the politics of poverty, racial profiling, and police brutality are ongoing counterpoints to African Americans rising to political prominence and securing positions once denied them. A history of African Americans for a new generation, Peace Be Still demonstrates how dramatically African American history illuminates the promise, conflicts, contradictions, hopes, and victories that all Americans share.

Hell has no fury as a man or woman scorned. Relationships, like storms blowing swiftly and fading away into nothingness—only to gather again for the next storm. A storm that does not respect age, race, sex, or economic status; this is an equal opportunity condition. I experienced a relationship storm that shook the core of my marriage. I had waited many years and believed this was the right choice for me; the waiting was over at last. I would be happy—I had foundMr. Right! This was my marriage in 2014: Ms. Commit Phobia and Mr. Over-Committed, united in holy matrimony! Peace Be Still is a walk on the wild side from a spiritual perspective: re-gaining and conquering what the enemy had stolen. Through a series of prayers—I had to go into the house of the strongman and regain what he took, applying strong prayers, fasting and taking risks; I did what God directed me to do and walked in obedience. I was willing to step out in faith and took risks, unwilling to play it safe under spiritual attacks. Jesus met me at the point of my need and honored my faith—the restoration of my life and my home. As according to Joel 2:25-26: restoration of what the worms ate (lost years); the Lord restored and planted me in my promised land, flowing in abundance with love, joy, peace and happiness.

Faith, and taking possession of your possessions by exercising spiritual authority in persistent prayer—bombarding the camp of the enemy and destroying the works of the enemy will allow you to gain access to the promised land that is yours—and yours by divine right! Nothing is impossible through faith—believe what you set your heart and mind to attain will become your reality. As you conquer your promised land flowing with bountiful blessings of milk and honey—Love, Joy, Peace and Happiness is your reward in Jesus’ name. Warning—Prayer Zone—proceed with caution!
