"Preston Love, Jr., sacrifices personal gain in his efforts and commitments to his North Omaha community, without financial reward or the associated gratitude. His book defines the challenges and key efforts directed toward solutions. It is important reading for all people of conscience." --Dave Domina, lawyer and recent candidate for the United States Senate (Nebraska)This book is a compilation of position papers and initiatives directed toward making a difference where a difference is needed. While Preston's story is based in his hometown--Omaha, Nebraska--there are lessons, there are premises, there are actions, and there is wisdom in these approaches that can apply in every urban setting in America. Preston offers this snapshot as a framework for others to reference.This snapshot begins with Preston's return to his beloved hometown of Omaha to be with his ailing mother, Betty Love, in 2006 after the death of his famous father, Preston Love, Sr. The status of his section of town, North Omaha, where almost all of the fifty thousand African-Americans live in Omaha was shocking.
