THOUGHTS OF A FRIED CHICKEN WATERMELON WOMAN

by Karen Ford

Overview

This book is one Black woman's thoughts on issues of the day. Black men in academia like Dr. Cornel West or activists like Rev. Al Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson, Jr. are often asked about the Black community and how the Black community views issues like the Stand Your Ground laws. None of those gentlemen speaks for me or others I know in my community. So I wrote this book to offer a more realistic view on issues like Stand Your Ground laws, the prison industrial complex and others.
Some of these are controversial. Some are reflective and still others are personal. They are written to spur conversation, inspire thought and hopefully lead to action.
