The 10 Million Dollar Black Exodus - Hardcover

by Jabari Dean Coursey (Author)

During a shocking 2052 presidential address, President Lemuel Dickens announces that the government can no longer ensure the safety and civil liberties of African Americans in the face of rising violence from domestic hate groups. The solution? A massive financial incentive: $10 million per African-American household to relocate to an allied reservation for sanctuary. It's an offer that splits the country-and Marcus's own family-down the middle.

Marcus refuses to leave. To him, no amount of money can replace his sense of home, legacy, or the life he's sacrificed to build. But Sara feels the crushing weight of fear. Her father, Burrell, urges them to take the deal before it's too late. As tensions mount and more families vanish across state lines, Sara is caught in a heart-wrenching choice between loyalty, safety, and survival.

Meanwhile, as America hemorrhages its population, the country spirals into economic chaos and social unrest. Then, without warning, a powerful artificial intelligence makes its presence known. Now, it's not just about leaving-it's about fighting back before democracy itself disappears.

In a future that feels all too close to our present, Marcus and his family must confront the question: What does it mean to be free? And what will it cost to remain in a country that no longer protects you?

A bold and urgent speculative thriller, The 10 Million Dollar Black Exodus weaves race, family drama, political intrigue, and Afrofuturist vision into a high-stakes journey of resistance, identity, and what it means to belong.
