A Time To Act: Black History Matters

"A Time To Act" is William Jusme's deeply personal reflection of life as a Haitian-American. Combining personal experience with reflections on both history and policy, this is an enlightening and thought-provoking book that will help readers understand Haitian history, problematic policies in the United States, mistakes from the past, and hope for the future. Part memoir and part educational resource, this is a must-have book for readers of all backgrounds.

Jusme's book is the product of many years of observation, research, soul-searching, and discovery. Vulnerable and real, this book discusses Jusme's experiences as a farmworker, a veteran of the United States Navy, a businessman, and a promise that he made to his mother before she passed away in 1983 due to breast cancer.

This book also serves a fundamental purpose to share insight into Haiti's unique history and why Haiti is the most impoverished nation in the Americas. Jusme shares his personal opinions and beliefs on what has happened and what the Haitian people need to do to bring Haiti into the twenty-first century.

This book covers many topics, both personal and historical. But its main focus is the interconnected nature of humanity. Jusme spends great time and effort elaborating on the theory of human originality based on credible sources. We are all human beings. We are connected one way or the other. Therefore, it is a time to act in the interest of all mankind regardless of color or where we live on this planet.
