A Personal Agenda

A Personal Agenda by Winsome Packer offers a unique look at political relationships and aims to show that racial, cultural and sexual harassment know no color When Richard Darby, a black and disgraced ex-congressman, and his family are brutally murdered in a Capitol Hill office, underlying racial tensions among black Americans and black U.S. immigrants begin to emerge. After a second black congressman is killed in Nebraska, authorities begin to look for connections. Carmen Jones, the lone black officer in the Nebraska investigation, pursues her theory that there is a very personal motive at the heart of the crimes. Jones joins forces with Washington, D.C. detective Brian McKenzie and they discover a form of intolerance new to them-black Americans against black immigrants and vice versa. Inspired by her own experiences, Packer uses A Personal Agenda to recall the alienation, hostility and impropriety she experienced as a newcomer to Capitol Hill. "In working on Capitol Hill, I felt that my civil rights had been encroached upon and given that the perpetrators have been others who had fought for their own rights, I found it to be sobering," says Packer of her work with various Congressmen and women. A Personal Agenda seeks to provoke its readers by examining racial tensions, corruption and sexual harassment in Congress, as well as the impact of immigration to the U.S. and other nations.
