　　Half a century after brave Americans took to the streets to

raise the bar of opportunity for all races, Juan Williams writes

that too many black Americans are in crisis—caught in a twisted

hip-hop culture, dropping out of school, ending up in jail, having

babies when they are not ready to be parents, and falling to the

bottom in twenty-first-century global economic competition.

In Enough, Juan Williams issues a lucid, impassioned clarion call

to do the right thing now, before we travel so far off the glorious

path set by generations of civil rights heroes that there can be no

more reaching back to offer a hand and rescue those being left

behind.

Inspired by Bill Cosby’s now famous speech at the NAACP gala

celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Brown decision

integrating schools, Williams makes the case that while there is

still racism, it is way past time for black Americans to open their

eyes to the “culture of failure” that exists within their

community. He raises the banner of proud black traditional

values—self-help, strong families, and belief in God—that sustained

black people through generations of oppression and flowered in the

exhilarating promise of the modern civil rights movement. Williams

asks what happened to keeping our eyes on the prize by proving the

case for equality with black excellence and achievement.

He takes particular aim at prominent black leaders—from Al

Sharpton to Jesse Jackson to Marion Barry. Williams exposes the

call for reparations as an act of futility, a detour into

self-pity; he condemns the “Stop Snitching” campaign as nothing

more than a surrender to criminals; and he decries the

glorification of materialism, misogyny, and murder as a corruption

of a rich black culture, a tragic turn into pornographic excess

that is hurting young black minds, especially among the poor.

Reinforcing his incisive observations with solid research and

alarming statistical data, Williams offers a concrete plan for

overcoming the obstacles that now stand in the way of African

Americans’ full participation in the nation’s freedom and

prosperity. Certain to be widely discussed and vehemently debated,

Enough is a bold, perceptive, solution-based look at African

American life, culture, and politics today.
