WEST COVINA, Calif., March 9, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Richard Bryant, a previously published author and professional photographer, has completed his new book "Who Killed the Black Businessman?": a personal and gripping narrative that highlights the difficulties faced by the author growing up during the sixties and the barriers to success that specifically affected black businessmen.
"This novel is about the death of Black business owners and the coming of age of a family headed by a seventeen -year-old boy," writes Bryant. "As we watch a young man's journey—all of his experiences in the sixties and the creation of a family in the seventies—and as we watch this elderly man in 2014, sitting here in the window, at this place and time, he wonders could his life have been better? Could he have dealt with racism and turmoil better? Just sitting here on his computer, looking out the window, writing a screenplay creates turmoil in the neighborhood. All of the crime and suffering that he is watching in front of him the neighborhood watch scenes to have a problem with a black man sitting in the window on a computer? That's a blast from the past when they did not want Black people to learn how to read; that is the situation that exists today. The elderly man begins to question his past judgment. Was everything that happened to him his fault? Was it all worth it?"
