"Though the recession and continuing economic downturn has been devastating to the American middle class as a whole, the two and a half years since the declared end of the recession have been singularly harmful to middle-class blacks in terms of layoffs and unemployment, according to economists and recent government data. About one in five black workers have public-sector jobs, and African-American workers are one-third more likely than white ones to be employed in the public sector." Discovering Possibility: A Common Sense Conservative Manifesto (For Classical Liberals Too) is available at www.discoveringpossibility.com. The book offers a sociological perspective and corresponding culture change approach, that relies on the principles of classical liberalism and a Deistic spirituality and promotes four pillars of community - freedom, personal responsibility, neighborliness, and thrift. All proceeds from Discovering Possibility go toward the furtherance of our mission at A Place for Possibilities, www.aplaceforpossibilities.org, a 501 (c) 3 educational nonprofit corporation.
