Synopsis
When you have people who tell you, "You can't get up, you're a victim," that's when you know that it's the devil you're hearing, no one else.
Bill Cosby [Dr. William Henry Cosby Ph.D.] and Alvin F. Poussaint have a powerful message for families and communities as they lay out their visions for strengthening America or, for that matter, the world. They address the crises of people who are stuck because of feelings of low self-esteem, abandonment, anger, fearfulness, sadness, and feelings of being used, undefended, and unprotected. These issues often impede their ability to move forward. The authors aim to help empower people to make the daunting transition from victims to victors. Come On, People is always engaging and is loaded with heart-piercing stories of the problems facing many communities.
