Author Stephen A. Tillett and his bookcover

Nationwide — Stephen A. Tillett, Anne Arundel County, Maryland NAACP Branch President, political activist, and interfaith clergy leader can now add national best-selling author to his list of credits. His first book, Stop Falling for the Okeydoke: How the Lie of “Race” Continues to Undermine Our Country [iUniverse; 978-1-5320-1-9; $15.99; paperback], released on May 25, 2017, became the #4 national best-seller for non-fiction. Books can be purchased today through his company, Connecting-The-Dots-LLC, at Connecting-The-Dots-LLC.com, through iUniverse.com, or Amazon.com.

Tillett believes that we are living in a critical time in our nation’s history, a time where people of like interests must come together for their common good, lest we all be overrun by the “Corporate States of America.” The lie – the okeydoke of “race” – has kept people of common concern separated for far too long. Genetically, we are all 99.9% the same. We must begin to act like it.

As Dr. King once said, “We must learn to live together as brothers or (we will) perish together as fools.”

Advance Praises:

“You hit the nail right on the head!” — Bishop Felton Edwin May (Retired) of the United Methodist Church

“This book is a very personal and powerful examination of the “lie of race” that has served those in power well throughout our history and right up to the present day. [His book’s] approach dispels pervasive myths and untruths and illuminates the history, science and politics of this destructive ‘lie’.” — Myla Kabat-Zinn (daughter of Dr. Howard Zinn, author of A People’s History of the United States)

“I have known Stephen Tillett for many years, and he has been making big moves all his life. And now he is leading the way again with this incredible book! Read it, then share it with friends and family! This book is leading edge thinking and it will have a big impact on America and the world!” — Dr. Willie Jolley, Best-selling author of A Setback Is A Setup For A Comeback and Achieving Greatness with An Attitude of Excellence
