Our society has been experiencing a significant rise in
social injustice and racial inequality. The term "woke" has been used
within the black community for a long time. Being woke means that someone is
knowledgeable, well-informed, and conscious of the social justice issues in our
society. It involves recognizing, identifying, and addressing the root causes
of social injustice and exploitation within the social system.
Here, we look at a new book, “The Woke Evolution- 100 Years
in the Making,” with a similar ground written by the recently emerging author
Darius Lamont Allen, which sheds light on these social issues, the importance
of unity, and being woke. The book highlights the problems of social and
political injustice, and the author describes his own story throughout.

and a former US Navy serviceman. Despite facing numerous obstacles in life,

and his experiences. It highlights the social and political injustice he
suffered. This book is about a Black man's journey to discover the meaning of
being "woke" and his exciting encounters. The author emphasizes that
being woke is a conscious decision that we make to learn and understand the
world around us and to use that knowledge to improve our own lives as well as
the lives of others. We all have biases, whether it's stereotypes against different
communities, internalized misogyny, colorism, or elitism. We can't control what
we've learned from the environment around us, but we can be held accountable
for living ignorantly and blissfully unaware of our biases. It's important to
examine ourselves, recognize the mental stereotypes that persist within us, and
break free from them. Only then can we live up to our full potential.
