About the Book
Race and racism have played a significant role in the rise and fall of America. In The Jig is Up: We Are One!, author and educator Johnnie P. Mitchell details how the man-made concept of race is a hoax that is destroying American education and presents a plan to restart education in America.
Based on more than twenty-five years of research, The Jig is Up: We Are One!:
• Chronicles the history of race to justify slavery
• Presents ten lessons of how race was
constructed
• Shows how race has been used to take
America to greatness for the benefits of white people on the backs of blacks
• Narrates how the “jig is up” and shows how Americans must face the truth of the past, present, and future
• Invites Americans to consider a non-racial
America
The Jig is Up: We Are One! presents a new paradigm for learning and delivers a call to restart education in America based on teaching and learning and not a bell curve standard to survive and thrive in a smart and successful non-racial America.
