TheTrump Challenge to Black America

In the three-year period from 2015 to 2017, I covered and analyzed every aspect of the speeches, utterances, and positions Trump posited during his presidential campaign on civil rights, voting rights, criminal justice and police abuse, and education in my featured columns in the Huffington Post. My special emphasis was on the impact a Trump candidacy and presidency would have on race relations and African-Americans. The Trump Challenge to Black America is based on those columns. I have expanded those columns with added material, fresh assessments, and a detailed look at the direction Trump has taken the country in since his election. The conclusion is the same as in my columns. Trump poses the greatest challenge and peril of any president in modern times to black Americans. The Trump Challenge is a hard hitting laser look at that peril and what black Americans can do about it.
