How the Leftist's Progressive Policies and Causes Have Been Bad for Black America (New Edition)
A direct, data-driven critique of progressive policy and a call back to faith, entrepreneurship, and personal responsibility.
In this expanded and updated edition, Brian Oglesby examines how progressive policies have shaped Black communities in the United States, then argues for a different path rooted in intellectual independence, cultural restoration, and durable empowerment.
A book built to challenge accepted political narratives and re-center the conversation on responsibility, conviction, and long-term strength.

A direct look at policy outcomes, cultural assumptions, and promises that failed to deliver lasting strength.
Faith, responsibility, enterprise, and independent thought as foundations for renewal and durable empowerment.
A challenge to readers, leaders, and communities to think beyond inherited narratives and build with conviction.
