Describes the experience of two successful African American professionals who embarked on a year-long public pledge to “buy black” in an attempt to mobilize the black community but instead found little support and criticism of their efforts.

One Family's Quest to Buy Black in America's Racially Divided Economy

Our Black Year

Maggie and John Anderson were successful African American professionals raising two daughters in a tony suburb of Chicago. But they felt uneasy over their good fortune. Most African Americans live in economically starved neighborhoods. Black wealth is about one tenth of white wealth, and black businesses lag behind businesses of all other racial groups in every measure of success. One problem is that black consumers -- unlike consumers of other ethnicities -- choose not to support black-owned businesses. At the same time, most of the businesses in their communities are owned by outsiders. On January 1, 2009 the Andersons embarked on a year-long public pledge to "buy black." They thought that by taking a stand, the black community would be mobilized to exert its economic might. They thought that by exposing the issues, Americans of all races would see that economically empowering black neighborhoods benefits society as a whole. Instead, blacks refused to support their own, and others condemned their experiment. Drawing on economic research and social history as well as her personal story, Maggie Anderson shows why the black economy continues to suffer and issues a call to action to all of us to do our part to reverse this trend.

An evil adversary, a suspicious visitor, and the return of an old friend with secrets… With Paige and Eli’s baby due any day, and the rural township at peace once more, it is meant to be the happiest time in their lives. How could anyone suspect the imminent danger about to turn their joy into a nightmare? When an old friend arrives on their doorstep, Paige is surprised by her sudden reappearance. Stephanie Harris ended their friendship two years before when Eli’s deranged father attacked and almost killed her, even though Paige had been his intended victim. Has Stephanie come back to Moon Grove to mend their relationship or is there something more behind her return? Vanished from the hospital, while her baby sleeps, Eli is desperate to locate his missing wife. After a search by his pack proves fruitless, CT footage soon reveals Paige has been taken by someone they know. As the clock ticks down, Eli will stop at nothing to find the woman he loves. But will he be too late?
