About the Book

The book Risen will refresh your memory about people you may know. It will also introduce you to several people you may not know or may never have heard of. The book serves as a reference in understanding how many of the characters between the pages achieved their accomplishments through education, faith, hard work, inspiration, and with the help of mentors. Some of the extraordinary figures were instrumental from the 1600's, to the civil rights movements and up to our present day. The book showcases the great transformation and journey of African-Americans in America. It highlights figures such as; William Tucker who was the first recorded African-American child born in America to the parents of slaves, (Isabella and Anthony) to Barack Obama who was the first African-American president of the United States. Risen also captures the contributions of women such as Harriet Tubman, Phyliss Wheatley and Oprah Winfrey. McDonald hopes that readers will see that through perseverance, determination, and at times mere miracles, African-American have been able to evolve and re-shape society while impacting the world. Whether it was through mere talent or through God, Risen explores how transformational and important African-American have been to history. Through RISEN, those who may have gone unnoticed, unwritten about or simply ignored now have a page that binds them to our world today.
About the Author: Author, Anthony M. McDonald was born in St. Louis, Missouri. He grew up in a crime ridden-section of the North Side. He describes his childhood with adjectives that allude to sadness, embarrassment, and elements of darkness. As an A student who enjoyed learning and school, McDonald often felt ostracized in his community. He was unaccepted in a harsh environment solely based on the instinct of survival and the perception that apathy is the primal attribute of being cool and popular. The constant need to feel accepted led McDonald to a life filled with every element of wrong. Many years later, an intervention of faith and purpose instilled a desire to change for the better. Reading books and learning about African-American history electrified a new confidence and pride that allowed McDonald to feel good about being a young black man. Understanding his history was the tool of diversion that McDonald needed. After learning from his mistakes and being inspired by his roots, McDonald was driven to share the stories he had learned about African-American historical figures. His seven year old son, Anthony JR's desire to know about different African-Americans who shaped society was the added spark that ignited McDonald to write Risen. McDonald hopes that Risen will impact others to learn more about African-American history and evoke an irrevocable mindset of greatness within its readers. He believes that understanding the accomplishments and true history of African-Americans will encourage other African-American youth to be confident about whom they are. McDonald would like to empower others with the knowledge that empowered him to change. In doing so he believes that readers will realize their own valuable potential and importance in society.
