Rise of the Ambassador: An Invisible Generation Discovers Itself
The most powerful generation ever raised in America doesn't even
know it exists - yet. This new book will change that completely,
while turning the "Generation Jones" theory on its head.
There is a forgotten generation rising up and flexing its muscle
in America today, and not a moment too soon.
Because of its unique placement in history, this generation
was destined to change the world from the very beginning.
Indeed, it already has – profoundly so. There has never been
a generation with the combination of perspective, experience,
and ability that this one possesses.
"More than any other generation alive today, the Ambassador
Generation represents Hope," says author Lance T. Walker.
No one else has our ingrained sense of Old School values,
combined with our command of New School technology as tool,
not just toy. No one else shares our historical perspective.
No one else has lived the kind of life we’ve lived - ever."
Sandwiched between the Baby Boomers and Generation X,
the Ambassadors are defined by the changes in America
following the Supreme Court's historic Brown vs. Board of
Education in 1954. They were shaped by their participation
in the great school integration efforts of the 60s and 70s.
According to Mr. Walker, the Generation Jones concept
correctly identifies a "lost generation" that grew up during the
sixties. However, it misses the boat completely when trying to
explain the reasons why they fell off the radar. "It wasn't just
that promises were made and not kept," says Lance. "The Sixties
Kids disappeared from view because of the Boomers' reaction
to the violent crushing of the civil rights movement, the trauma
of a series of high profile assassinations, and ultimately the loss
of the entire liberal agenda that the election of Richard Nixon as
President in 1968 represented."
Contrary to the image of a bunch of spoiled, conservative-
leaning suburbanites that the Generation Jones theory describes,
the real portrait of the Ambassador Generation is one of well-
disciplined children, mainly of color, who were forced to bear
the weight of the country's desegregation effort because adults
simply refused to do so. It's also a story of deep suffering and
ultimate victory, as the Ambassadors were targeted by not one,
but two deadly plagues in the 1980s that threatened to wipe them
off the map while they were still in there teenage years.
Mr. Walker paints a compelling portrait of a strong, determined
generation that was trained to beat the odds before they even
learned to read. As a result, a nation of leaders was created, one
that's been quietly seeking its identity and awaiting its opportunity.
It has now found both, along with a standard-bearer, in the person
of the new Democratic Presidential nominee, Barack Obama.
According to the book, this makes the Ambassadors much more
than just a demographic to be marketed to. Rather, they represent
a can-do way of looking at the world that is desperately needed.
Rise of the Ambassador is fascinating reading. It describes familiar
Historical events from an entirely different perspective than the one
we are used to seeing. It is also a direct, scathing indictment of the
right-wing conservative agenda in place over the last 40 years.
Entertaining, and at times shockingly insightful, the book describes
quite convincingly how the "Children of the Dream" have been
training their whole lives for a mission of national hope and
reconciliation, one which they alone have the skill set to complete.
More than just a commentary, It also proposes a step by step goals
agenda for the Ambassador Generation to focus on achieving
immediately. "This world already has more than its share of hawks
and doves, sharks and carp, wolves and sheep", says Lance. What
it desperately needs more of is Ambassadors".
