About the Author
In the mid 1980’s when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. birthday was recognized as a national holiday, Yvonne Brake and Fred Johnson saw the need to educate African American children about their rich and proud history. As founder and executive director of Because He Cares, an urban outreach ministry utilizing drama as an educational tool, Yvonne believed the ministry could provide the platform to deliver this message.
In 1986, Yvonne and Fred Johnson, a member of Because He Cares Drama Team, researched and wrote “Experience In Pride…Journey through African American History. For nearly twenty years this play has been presented to tens of thousands of people in schools, churches, universities, community organizations, and ministries in a four state region.
Fred Johnson earned a masters degree in 1993 and a doctorate in 1999 from Kent State University, establishing himself as a noted African-American historian through his scholarship and writing. He currently serves as an Associate Professor of American History at Hope College in Holland, Michigan.
At present he is also completing work on America’s Blind Spot: U.S. Foreign Policy in Africa, 1945 to Present. This book examines the history of American foreign policy on the African continent since the end of World War II, assessing how those policies affected America’s actions on the continent (and around the world) during the Cold War, and the lingering impact of that period upon the current Global War on Terror.
Yvonne Brake has a diploma in Church Theology from Ashland Theoogical Seminary, BA in Management from Malone University, and a Master's Degree in Nonprofit Management from Case Western Reserve University.
She is executive director and founder of Because He Cares, Inc. (www.bhcministry.org). “BHC” began in 1980 as a drama group working out of St. John C.M.E. Church in Akron, OH.
