Project America: Memoirs of Faith & Hope To Win the Future

by Marshall Hatch

Overview

PROJECT AMERICA: Memoirs of Faith and Hope to Win the Future, is one of the most impactful and relevant literary works of our time. The author, Dr. Marshall E. Hatch, sheds light on the timeless maxim that “each generation must chart its own course.” In looking back to Dr. King’s global vision, he conscientiously looks forward to summon the probing question “Where do we go from here?” Project America offers a nostalgic yet visionary memoir that weaves together scenes from the author’s personal journey with historical analysis and commentaries to address contemporary public policy issues. In his expansive, thoughtful, and powerful treatise, Dr. Hatch presents us with the challenge to move forward, beyond the sins of America's shameful history of slavery to a “symphony” for winning the future. In this literary treasure-trove, Hatch's four symphonic movements unfold as the pathway to fulfilling the American promise, including a massive investment in education, adapting to the changing complexion of world power, embracing environmental stewardship, and renewing our faith to reengage the social covenant with the American people.
