Portis offers a powerful perspective on systemic inequality and historical truth. Blending biblical insight with modern realities, it explores economic disparities, voter suppression, and institutional barriers while highlighting resilience and progress, sparking meaningful dialogue among readers, educators, and policymakers.<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Washington, DC &#8211; April 10, 2026 &#8211; <\/strong>At a time when national conversations around history, equity, and education continue to intensify, <em>Through The Eyes of This Black Woman: Continuing to Rise &#8211; Legacy Edition <\/em>by Dr. Thomasina M. Portis emerges as a timely and thought-provoking work that challenges readers to confront both the past and its ongoing impact on the present.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Drawing a profound parallel between the biblical epistles of the Apostle Paul and the modern-day experiences of Black Americans, Dr. Thomasina M. Portis presents a layered narrative that examines how systems of exclusion and marginalization have historically shaped, and continue to influence&mdash;societal structures. Through this lens, the book explores how efforts to diminish or redefine historical truths mirror longstanding attempts to silence marginalized voices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">More than a historical account, the book delivers a multidimensional exploration of systemic inequality. It addresses critical issues such as redlining, gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the persistent gaps in financial literacy, offering readers both context and clarity on the roots of economic disparity. At the same time, it highlights the resilience, innovation, and enduring strength of Black communities, showcasing stories of achievement despite systemic barriers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;This book is a critical work which authenticates the struggles and sacrifices of a people shortly removed from slavery but never from oppression and humiliation,&rdquo; said Dr. Ralph W. Canty, 9th President of The Progressive Baptist Convention, USA and former South Carolina State Legislator. &ldquo;It provides an undeniable narrative that stands in contrast to efforts aimed at rewriting or diminishing history.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition to its historical and cultural significance, <em>Through The Eyes of This Black Woman: Continuing to Rise &#8211; Legacy Edition<\/em> serves as an essential resource for academic and policy-driven discussions. Dr. Thomasina M. Portis carefully examines the economic dimensions of inequality, reinforcing her insights with perspectives that align with widely recognized data on racial disparities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;With both passion and accuracy, this work chronicles the historical and current context for economic disparities affecting Black communities,&rdquo; noted Dr. Lucy J. Reuben, Managing Director of Strategic Keys to Educational &amp; Economic Advancement and Board of Trustees Chair at Morris College. &ldquo;It is a compelling and engaging exposition that should be required reading for students, policymakers, and leaders.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The book has also been recommended by<strong> The US Review of Books<\/strong>, further recognizing its depth, relevance, and contribution to contemporary discourse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Positioned at the intersection of history, theology, and socio-economic analysis, the book is especially relevant in today&rsquo;s climate, where discussions around curriculum, legislation, and cultural identity continue to evolve. Its message resonates across multiple sectors, making it a valuable addition to legislative bodies, seminaries, academic institutions, and public discourse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ultimately, <em>Through The Eyes of This Black Woman: Continuing to Rise Legacy Edition<\/em> is more than a book, it is a call to awareness, a defense of historical truth, and a testament to resilience. It invites readers to engage deeply, think critically, and recognize the enduring impact of history on present-day realities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dr. Thomasina M.
