Creigs C. Beverly, PhD and Olivia D. Beverly, PhD share, "When asked by the publisher of this manuscript to write a brief statement for the cover of this book, we were immediately driven to the second stanza of 'Lift Every Voice and Sing' by James Weldon Johnson and J.R. Rosamond Johnson.
"The second stanza says,
'Stony the road we trod
Bitter the chastening rod
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died
Yet with a steady beat
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered
Out from the gloomy past
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast'
"To our sisters and brothers, keep praying, keep singing, and keep going to safe places to cry! Our sanity demands."
