Let me offer an early disclaimer. I know exactly who the Founders were. I know exactly the crimes against humanity that they were responsible for and those they inherited and were not responsible for. I do not spend time extolling the virtues of Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Adams, Mr. Franklin, and Mr. Madison. Nothing in this work or in my experiment (my life's work) can change the fact or alter the history of the debasement of humanity that preceded the Declaration of Independence (1776), the Constitution (1787), and the Bill of Rights (1791) they were a part of and the obvious fact that the major accomplishment of the Founders' theories about self-government did not apply to African Americans and Native Americans, women, and specifically Black women in their thinking.
Still, there exists in their theological imagination infinite hope for their experiment. This work seeks to identify the evidence that shows and suggests that some of them were aware of a grand architectural experiment and design for the nation and its future.
Every cracked, broken, and imperfect vessel can be used to bring forward hope. I am a personal witness to this fact of human existence.

A review of The Finger of God https://www.amazon.com/.../ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc... by the Reverend Jesse Jackson.
“Pride is not the word that appropriately fits how I feel or how I can describe Jesse Jr.‘s work. On the one hand he is my son, with his own experiences and a mind of his own. What I can say, is that it is impossible to have a church, a social, political, civil rights, economic, environmental reform organization, civic or social organization, an interest in criminal Justice reform, or claim to be an activist Christian or otherwise in the United States without reading, understanding, and digesting, The Finger of God. While Jesse understandably focuses his attention on the “debt paid felon,” it is impossible to wrap ones mind around the facets of American life that his discovery impacts. He has opened our minds to America’s infinite possibility. https://www.amazon.com/.../ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc... This is an extraordinary scholastic achievement, for our country, for such a time as this.”

Reverend Jesse Jackson.
