As CBN News has reported, a record number of African-American Republicans are running for Congress this year.

One activist who's encouraging more black voters to give Republicans a chance is Ron Miller.

Miller is an Air Force veteran and executive director of Regular Folks United, an organization working to advance America's founding principles. He is also the author of Sellout: Musings from Uncle Tom's Porch.

The book delves into Miller's journey into identifying himself as a conservative. In some ways, it's a history lesson as to why he says Democrats may not always have the best intentions for Black Americans.

Click play to watch Miller's interview with CBN News Washington Correspondent Jennifer Wishon about how he came to identify politically with the Republican Party.
