While most authors focus primarily on American and European inventors\, Keith Holmes introduces inventions\, both past and present\, that Black people\, developed and patented globally and multiculturally.

LeRoy W. Homer\, Jr. was the first officer and co-pilot of United Flight 93\; the morning of September 11\, the flight was diverted to Washington\, D.C.\, before crashing into a deserted field.

Instead\, Holland moved to the inner city\, driven by a divine calling full of unfolding mystery and challenge. He found himself in Harlem during the nadir of its blight and endeavored to contribute to a neighborhood that was tough in every sense of the word. A Republican among Democrats\, a privileged Southern scion among working-class Northerners\, Holland earned his stripes as an entrepreneur/activist embracing a vision of personal and community transformation. A five-year sojourn became a three-decade commitment\, as his Harlem-based career morphed from practicing law to empowering the homeless\, to running small businesses\, to writing plays\, to serving in politics\, to building housing-all aimed at revitalizing a beaten-down\, dream-deferred cultural mecca haunted by poignant memories of its glory days in the early twentieth century.

The year of the black president. The year of Barack Obama. His campaign unlocked the door to America's political process in ways unseen before. Millions donated to the Obama election fund\; even more exercised their democratic right to vote for the first time\, recognizing the power of the collective voice. America was ready for a black president and African Americans ready for a new reality.
The work of the Redefining Black Power Project is simple\; to document the black experience during the 'Age of Obama'\; African American history is unique\, and so is the black perspective on this key moment in the United States' political and social development. Beginning in 2009\, hosts and producers including Margaret Prescod\, Lucia Chappelle\, Sabiha Khan\, Aimee Allison\, Esther Manilla and Gloria Minnott\, recorded roundtable discussions at Pacifica stations nationwide. These conversations were followed by a special documentary series\, phone in programs\, and now the book and this online portal of history. Via these outlets\, were collected voices and opinions through the lenses of the legal system\, the economy\, media\, social justice advocacy\, faith\, politics\, education and more. As the 2012 election approaches\, our voices are ever more important.
