The United States is considered a country where everyone has a fair opportunity and thrives. Yet, the history of America is one of racial inequity, deepening cycles of poverty, violence, and oppression that exist into the present day. Racial disparities in economic well-being are traced to the European settlement of the Western Hemisphere. Nearly all the countries in North and South America and the Caribbean were settled through the founding enterprises of the taking of Indigenous people's land and the use of African heritage people's labor. Colonizers paid little or nothing for native land and paid no wages for enslaved African labor that produced the products and services that created enormous multi generational wealth and prosperity."A Matter of Truth" provides a well-researched and documented account of the evolution of racial discrimination in Rhode Island dating back to the early settlement and evolving into what is a present-day racial and equity divide found across the country. With over 600 primary and secondary source footnotes, the book provides a comprehensive view of the evolution of racial discrimination. A Matter of Truth will give the reader an in-depth understanding of the history of one of America's most historic cities and states.

For individuals questioning their sexuality the stress and worry are significant. If those individuals are also believers in Jesus Christ and active in their church, they face another set of concerns. This autobiography is about how I came to believe in Jesus Christ and how that faith impacted my journey. I am sharing my journey toward understanding my sexuality and navigating the complexity of a society in turmoil over homosexuality and a religion hostile to homosexuality. This is a journey of reconciling my faith in Jesus Christ with the message by some churches that homosexuality is wrong in hopes that those who read this come to accept Jesus as your Savior or those who have already accepted Jesus as your Savior come to understand that God loves you just as you are. My journey is one of love, heartache, discovery, and personal acceptance in the face of many friends, family, and colleagues who told me I was wrong when I shared with them my belief that I was gay and who then walked away despite learning only one additional fact about me that they hadn't known or admitted to themselves the day before. I have learned the truth through my journey, and the truth has set me free.
