About this listen

Black Forward is a hard-hitting investigation into the ways that Black progress in this country has been met with often extreme white backlash and what we as individuals can do for democracy. Martin delivers a guide for Black men and women to navigate the hot-button issues of today.

Martin argues that Black people have the tools to shift the state of this country right now—if we would just stop playing defense and start playing offense. After reading this book we don’t get to sit out another election. We stop spending blindly and start supporting Black business, build Black institutions, and boycott institutions that do not align with our ideologies. No more rage without strategy. No more waiting on Washington—it’s time to turn our blocks into our battlefield and make change where we stand. Time to hold everybody accountable—media, ministers, corporations. There are no more passes, no more excuses.

Black Forward is a book that’s meant to be used. Quoted in sermons. Argued over at dinner tables. Studied in barbershops. Dog-eared by community leaders. It’s designed to spark conversations, workshops, debates, and most importantly—action. Black Forward will map out grassroots solutions—starting with your own house, your own block, and your own neighborhood.
