Barbers and beauticians are expertly positioned to have a hand on the pulse of their communities—and Barnard the Barber is no exception. Learning from his village as the barber, the author shares those lessons learned on how we can liberate the rural South by building antiracist communities everywhere. This book provides actionable steps that each of us can take, in righteous indignation, to sign our own Emancipation Proclamations! These solutions are formatted into eight postulates in homage to the eight principles of Charlamagne Tha God’s book: Black Privilege: Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It. In this book you will learn how to: • create a blueprint for your own life’s divine path; • leverage and utilize the infrastructure of our established hair care networks; • become the bridge of wisdom between our ancestors and our youth today. The author emphasizes that all white people are not evil; it’s just that those who are wicked in America have taken immorality to an unfettered and unmatched extreme. Similarly, not all Republicans are racists, but today’s Republican Party is a perfect place for racists to hide their ideologies. The Southern Awakening will guide you to discovering the true redemption of self-liberation!

Viola Liuzzo abandoned her white northern privilege to come south to drive marchers and protestors back to Selma from Montgomery. One of those four Klansman that killed her was found out to also be an FBI agent.
Therefore, we should no longer accept J. Edgar Hoover’s name hoisted up on any building with pride. And we should honor the righteous side of white history to teach our children to do what is right!
Why aren’t these narratives taught in our schools? The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. These answers are blowing in the wind and The Southern Awakening is a method of seeing these answers, as we let the wind elevate our gaze to the sky. Embracing this paradigm shift is the key to your awakening!
As you arrive, you will see the blackbirds flying high through the air collectively together. You will also notice that the birds are navigating the skies in a triangular form almost perfectly designed in the shape of an arrow. One blackbird will fly in the front to make it aerodynamically easier for the followers to glide in its trail. When that lead bird grows weary, another one emerges, assuming the front position. They all fly together as a team—a strategy we should use here on the ground.
