Description: I KNOW WHY THE CAGED LION ROARS 
What Happens When Corrupt Black 
Politicians Serve Themselves

Bishop L. J. Guillory, Ombudsman General, is one of our century’s most provocative political writers. He debuts his new book, “I Know Why The Caged Lion Roars” (What Happens When Black Corrupt Politicians Serve Themselves). He takes you on a journey into the unreal world of politics and power as he gives you a historical account of the events that landed some of California’s overly ambitious corrupt Black politicians in prison. It’s time for Black folks to rise from their comatose mind-set and make a personal commitment to save themselves and their families. Blacks had better flee toward Noah’s Ark because the flood of disenfranchisement and sell-out Black politicians will cause them to drown otherwise.

As you read “I Know Why The Caged Lion Roars,” you will see how Blacks have been sold into modern-day slavery with the help of corrupt, greedy, and trust-violating Black politicians. Yes, they throw a rock and hide their hand and when other Blacks speak out about their wickedness, they are accused of airing dirty linen. My response to that statement is--keep the linen clean. Guillory, a born servant, at the age of 11 was fighting for the crippled as he encouraged people to support and to walk in a March of Dimes walk-a-thon. He is no rookie when it comes to politics--he has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly side of it. He was married to one of the most corrupt politicians of our time. After exposing his wife’s corruption, he suddenly found himself “caged” behind bars. However, a few years later, his ex-wife and another corrupt politician who helped set him up, resulting in his imprisonment, found themselves behind the prison wall--doing their own time. You will come to understand that “sowing” and “reaping” is no fairytale.

Bishop Guillory, a modern-day political prodigal son, is back. His literary work provides authentic answers to the questions asked by many regarding the demise of Black corrupt politicians of Compton, Lynwood, and Carson, California. He is in no way bashing Black political figures. Guillory only brings to our memory the past. The past can serve us well--if we can remember to learn from it. The author, in his bold and provocative memoir, “I Know Why The Caged Lion Roars,” calls it like it is and does not apologize for instructing the public to keep a watchful eye on their public servants. You will clearly see who suffers when Black corrupt politicians serve themselves.
