    David Ellison wrote Repairing Our Divided Nation because he, like so many others, is frustrated with the division he sees in our nation, particularly when it comes to race and politics. In his desire to help create a better world for all – no matter one’s color or political persuasion – Ellison studied the works of some of the world’s most respected scholars and summaries of notable Supreme Court cases that continue to negatively impact society today. 
    With malice toward none, Repairing Our Divided Nation offers: 
    • History lessons that should be required reading for all Americans. 
    • A demand that Congress stop abdicating its responsibilities. 
    • A plan for running our elections so the best people are sent to Washington to serve We the People. 
    • A proposal for improving our schools’ curricula and administration. 
    • A call for guaranteeing that all Americans, no matter their color, wealth, or zip code, have a real chance at becoming economically self-reliant and living a life with dignity. 
    Thi book concludes with four of the most important documents in America’s history: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Amendments to the Constitution, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.” Ellison believes that if every American did a deep dive into understanding each document’s message, we would have the more perfect Union our Founders envisioned.

    Stewardship is a comprehensive approach to management that emphasizes responsible care and accountability for the resources entrusted to individuals, organizations, and communities. At its core, stewardship requires an understanding of both the tangible and intangible values of these resources and a commitment to ensuring they are used in a manner that preserves their potential for future generations. This chapter explores the historical evolution, philosophical underpinnings, and modern applications of stewardship, offering readers a solid grounding in the fundamental principles that guide responsible management. 
    Historically, the concept of stewardship can be traced back to ancient civilizations where caring for community resources was integral to societal survival and growth. Early cultures recognized the importance of balancing consumption with preservation, creating frameworks that emphasized duty, trust, and ethical responsibility. As societies evolved, these early principles laid the groundwork for more complex systems of governance and ethical management, adapting to meet the challenges of rapidly changing environments. This evolution underscores that stewardship is not a static concept but a dynamic practice that reflects the values and needs of the times. 
    In today’s world, stewardship extends far beyond basic resource management. It embraces sustainable practices, ethical leadership, and a long-term vision necessary for navigating the complexities of modern challenges in finance, the environment, and social structures. Central to this approach is the belief that effective management involves a deep respect for all resources—natural, financial, and human—and a commitment to their wise utilization. By integrating time-honored values with contemporary techniques, stewardship creates resilient frameworks that enable organizations to adapt to change while maintaining their core principles.

    The rise of Great Zimbabwe was shaped by geography, economic opportunities, and social organization, allowing it to become one of Africa’s most influential civilizations. Emerging around the 9th century, the settlement developed into a thriving political and economic center by the 11th century, reaching its peak between the 13th and 15th centuries. Its growth was fueled by abundant natural resources, a strategic location, and participation in regional and international trade. 
    The Zimbabwean plateau, with its fertile soil and favorable climate, provided ideal conditions for agriculture. The Shona people, who founded Great Zimbabwe, cultivated sorghum and millet, which sustained the growing population. In addition to farming, cattle herding played a crucial role in the economy. Cattle were a measure of wealth and social status, serving as currency in trade and marriage negotiations. The presence of large herds further reinforced the power of the elite, who controlled access to grazing lands and water sources. 
    Beyond agriculture, Great Zimbabwe’s location made it a key player in long-distance trade. The city was situated between the goldfields of southern Africa and the coastal trade hubs of the Swahili city-states. Gold mining became a major economic activity, with miners extracting the metal from riverbeds and underground deposits. This gold was traded with merchants from Kilwa, Sofala, and other Swahili ports, where it was exchanged for luxury goods such as Persian ceramics, Chinese porcelain, and Indian textiles. The wealth generated from trade allowed Great Zimbabwe to expand, attracting artisans, traders, and skilled laborers.
