Author Dr. Clarence Riggins' new book "Seen or Unseen: What Is Your Choice?" is an insightful work exploring myriad issues facing people of color in America
Recent release "Seen or Unseen: What Is Your Choice?" from Page Publishing author Dr. Clarence Riggins is a thought-provoking commentary on race and prejudice in America from the civil rights era to the present. The author draws from personal experience as a student in a newly desegregated school in Georgia and beyond as well as actual social and political events occurring throughout the United States in the twenty-first century.
MIDLAND, Ga., Dec. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Clarence Riggins, a small-town native of Dry Branch, Georgia, University of Phoenix graduate and chapter member of the National Society of Leadership and Success, and US Army veteran who served for twenty years before retiring as a first sergeant to pursue a management career in the US Postal Service, has completed his new book "Seen or Unseen: What Is Your Choice?": a thoughtful work probing the realities of race in the United States.
The author writes, "The chapters in this book represent national occurrences combined with personal experiences. I had the impression that all adults at some point in their lives have witnessed something whether good or bad but decided not to intervene. Many of the readers probably have witnessed an unqualified person at work knowing the right things to say and were promoted far beyond their competency. You ask yourself if anyone besides you sees what is going on. Maybe from the book, a reader may gain some information on why he or she cannot seem to keep neighbors. A laundry list of possible behaviors may be of value to people other than the reader. From this laundry list, one may become enlightened and may see many of the listings are quite common to where they live. A highlight for the author is the mentioning of Black-on-Black crimes. There is a cry for help, even from the author's point of view. Our leaders are quite aware the problem is quite real, but there seems to be little to no emphasis on solving this issue.
'Racial discrimination' is a sensitive term. Many words mentioned in the book may have matured and are past their expiration date. As a Black man, I often believe these words are used too freely, and it seems to be a deterrent to the actual root cause. I did want all readers to know there was never a request for reparations. If there was ever a decision for reparations, what would be the criteria for Blacks with enslaved ancestors? The book also was written to stimulate those who knowingly have information to a solution to get involved and not to accept the encounter as "unseen." To all, our nation is changing—in color, in thoughts, and in protest. Do you see or not see the shift? What is your choice, and what will be your involvement?"
Published by Page Publishing, Dr. Clarence Riggins' engrossing book is an thought-provoking choice for students of the relationship between race and history in America.
