United States Cultural Piece by Richard A. Baraka

The concentration of wealth and power, held in the hands of a few, has influenced the political landscape of America since its inception. Today, the campaign financing of the political elites consistently ensures the agenda of the ruling class takes precedent over the will of the masses. United States Cultural Piece explores how this impacts America not only politically, but economically and morally—while explaining how the spirit of the everyday American has historically led to grassroots movements to infuse humanity into our laws and practices, with the goal of putting people and the environment over profits and corporate power. Only when we legislate with the intent to protect our people, rather than to increase the profits of a few, do Freedom, equality and justice for all become a reality for all Americans.
