Just as the Biblical prophets of old spoke out listen to the voice of octogenarian author Margaret Hoskins Lessons from an Elder for the New Generation: A Changing World: From an Elder s View as she speaks out on an important topic-the Black family. The strength of the Black community has always come from the Black family. Unfortunately over the past several decades the Black family has experienced a downward spiral and disenfranchisement due to drugs foster care and imprisonment of parents just to name a few contributing factors. But the biggest problem goes back to not having Bible training in the home. Most of all she shares stories of her family s history going back to slavery which is one of overcoming obstacles with dignity and pride. You will not only enjoy this story but you will be inspired to build a better family yourself.
