Description
A Short Story About Service, Systemic Racism, & Survival.
In her riveting book, “Woke: A Memoir”, Janetra Johnson takes you on a journey into her past dealings with the military. She discovered policies and other documents that reminded her of the 1950s when black soldiers and veterans faced systemic issues with compensation and benefits. The wide disparities in promotions and the G.I. Bill benefits for World War II soldiers and vets resulted in the loss of generational wealth that is still felt today.
Janetra Johnson shines a light on a dark place and time inside the United States National Guard and a time when she witnessed a swift financial change followed by a striking of military violations from public view. The author offers an inside look into her years in the military, where she experienced discrimination and a traumatic sexual assault that left her with debilitating emotional and economic injuries. In real-time she guides you through seeing the lasting effects of Jim Crow through her creative writing, research, and photography.
Inside this eye-opening memoir, you will:
- Enter the U.S. federal court with Janetra, in real-time, as she fights for racial justice and comes face to face with one of America's most controversial and oldest doctrine, the Military’s Feres Doctrine.
- Get to see a snapshot of the incriminating documents she alleged perpetuated racism, deprived and infringed upon the rights of black soldiers and veterans.
What makes this book unique is that it was published with the intent to connect the past to the present, preserve history and save lives.
Read, wake up, and share this book with a military veteran, journalist, attorney, content creator or anyone interested in present-day military and systemic issues.
