Show Black Heritage speaker tells of American crisis for all of us to address the difficult issues facing our nation and the world," the colonel said. Dispelling myths and negative images is not easy, but is attainable through education and awareness. If Americans have the commitment of such leaders as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Gen. B.O. Davis Jr. and Nelson Mandela they will find that equality is not a hopeless pursuit but is within reach. "We are still a strong country with talented people and vast resources. We are not inevitably in a decline," Colonel Lounderman said. "We must not give up with a defeatist attitude. Many times in our past we have faced adversity and have accomplished amazing feats because we clearly defined a goal and worked hard to achieve it."
