Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A personal history of the civil rights movement from activist and acclaimed New York Times and NPR journalist Charlayne Hunter-Gault. On January 20, 2009, 1.8 million people crowded the grounds of the Capitol to witness the inauguration of Barack Obama. Among the masses was Charlayne Hunter-Gault. She had flown from South Africa for the occasion, to witness what was for many the culmination of the long struggle for civil rights in the United States. In this compelling personal history, she uses the event to look back on her own involvement in the civil rights movement, as one of two black students who forced the University of Georgia to integrate, and to relate the pivotal events that swept the South as the movement gathered momentum through the early 1960s. With poignant black-and-white photos, original articles from The New York Times, and a unique personal viewpoint, this is a moving tribute to the men and women on whose shoulders Obama stood.

Book Synopsis A Journey To The Mountain Top by : Eric Cathey
Download or read book A Journey To The Mountain Top written by Eric Cathey and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a spiritual testament of my life's journey, as well as a channel of inspiration to guide believers and non-believers in Christ to seek growth and development in their lives. It was essentially important for me to gain the understanding that every aspect of our life is spiritual. Though that truth I begin to see how crucial it was to start each day with a positive state of mind. But it was very difficult for me to do that since I was incarcerated on death row. Eventually my meditation and study of the bible helped me to create a method to achieve that blessing. I grew up in a dysfunctional home. This prevented me from acquiring any meaningful appreciation of myself as a person. And I've come to notice how the perpetuation of superficial standards in our society have eroded the desire to embrace a true value of ourselves. So genuine self-worth is being discarded. But God's grace through his word elevated my perception of who I am as a believer in Christ, and thus have motivated me to pursue the improvements of my inner-man. Having a spirit of excellence brings honor to God. So take pride in who you are. Putting my trust completely in God was a struggle that plagued me for many years. This was due to the fact that I did not have personal relationship with Christ. So out of ignorance I believed that a backsliding Christian was not entitled to receive any help from god. But when I shift my focus back on proper worship, I came to understand the depth of God's mercy and how his love for humanity will never let him forsake us, because Jesus knows how it feels to undergo the various struggles we endure. Showing genuine love to other people is mandatory for a believer in Christ. But for various reasons people are more incline to be hateful rather than loving toward others. Yet my insight of scriptures as I applied them to my life, aided me in showing love to a man who tried to take my life. The betrayal of a close friend helped the prosecution to win an unjustifiable conviction. This experience gave birth to a sovereignty of bitterness in my heart. The weight of this resentment became a tremendous burden. And only through Jesus was I able to break free from this negative stronghold. The deterioration of faith in god is a typical occurrence for prisoners on death row. I wrestled with a regression of faith but was able to win that battle after I received a confirmation on the importance faith played in my walk with Christ. Plus I discovered that I merely tak
Book Synopsis Down from the Mountaintop by : Joshua Dolezal
Download or read book Down from the Mountaintop written by Joshua Dolezal and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lyrical coming-of-age memoir, Down from the Mountaintop chronicles a quest for belonging. Raised in northwestern Montana by Pentecostal homesteaders whose twenty-year experiment in subsistence living was closely tied to their faith, Joshua Doležal experienced a childhood marked equally by his parents’ quest for spiritual transcendence and the surrounding Rocky Mountain landscape. Unable to fully embrace the fundamentalism of his parents, he began to search for religious experience elsewhere: in baseball, books, and weightlifting, then later in migrations to Tennessee, Nebraska, and Uruguay. Yet even as he sought to understand his place in the world, he continued to yearn for his mountain home. For more than a decade, Doležal taught in the Midwest throughout the school year but returned to Montana and Idaho in the summers to work as a firefighter and wilderness ranger. He reveled in the life of the body and the purifying effects of isolation and nature, believing he had found transcendence. Yet his summers tied him even more to the mountain landscape, fueling his sense of exile on the plains. It took falling in love, marrying, and starting a family in Iowa to allow Doležal to fully examine his desire for a spiritual mountaintop from which to view the world. In doing so, he undergoes a fundamental redefinition of the nature of home and belonging. He learns to accept the plains on their own terms, moving from condemnation to acceptance and from isolation to community. Coming down from the mountaintop means opening himself to relationships, grounding himself as a husband, father, and gardener who learns that where things grow, the grower also takes root.

Book excerpt: Pioneer. Congressman. Martyr of the Alamo. King of the Wild Frontier. As with all great legends, Davy Crockett's has been retold many times. Over the years, he has been repeatedly reinvented by historians and popular storytellers. In Born on a Mountaintop, Bob Thompson combines the stories of the real hero and his Disney-enhanced afterlife as he delves deep into our love for an American icon. In the road-trip tradition of Sarah Vowell and Tony Horwitz, Thompson follows Crockett's footsteps from his birthplace in east Tennessee to Washington, where he served three terms in Congress, and on to Texas and the gates of the Alamo, seeking out those who know, love, and are still willing to fight over Davy's life and legacy. Born on a Mountaintop is more than just a bold new biography of one of the great American heroes. Thompson's rich mix of scholarship, reportage, humor, and exploration of modern Crockett landscapes bring Davy Crockett's impact on the American imagination vividly to life.

Book Synopsis Reaching the Mountaintop of the Academy by : Gail L. Thompson
Download or read book Reaching the Mountaintop of the Academy written by Gail L. Thompson and published by IAP. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the U.S. Civil Rights era, the racial composition of higher education has changed dramatically, resulting in an increase in the number of African American students and African American faculty in predominantly white institutions (PWI). Nevertheless, the number of African American endowed or distinguished professors remains small. Because it is difficult for African American faculty to attain these prized positions, those who have done so possess invaluable knowledge that may be beneficial to others. Reaching the Mountaintop of the Academy: Personal Narratives, Advice and Strategies from Black Distinguished and Endowed Professors, fills an important niche in the canon of higher education literature. In the autobiographical chapters that follow, numerous distinguished and endowed professors (1) describe their personal journey to the distinguished or endowed professorship; (2) explain important life lessons that they learned during their journey; (3) describe their current professional goals; and (4) offer suggestions and recommendations for graduate students, untenured faculty, tenured faculty, and college/university administrators. At a time when many predominantly white higher education institutions continue to have difficulty attracting and retaining African American faculty, and African American faculty continue to struggle for full inclusion in the academy, this book is timely and needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After three weeks of having relapsed, I entered Hanley Rehabilitation Center in West Palm Beach. A rehabilitation center for alcoholics and drug addicts. I had no idea what I had in store for me but having been in Marine Corp boot camp over twenty years prior, I prepared mentally for the journey before me. My experiences throughout my life had been rooted in heartache, disappointments and anger. I resented many people around me. I continued playing over and over in my mind my regrets, past failures and feelings of not being enough to those I loved. Upon exiting Hanley, I surrendered. I fully surrendered to life, to control, and to the only One who dictated the obstacles and blessings that would come my way, I surrendered to God. I took a two-year hiatus traveling throughout the country, discovering endless possibilities and a far different way of living. I learned to fully love myself, which, without that, I would have stayed paralyzed and stuck in regret, frozen in fear for the rest of my life. I learned about the power of our thoughts, the importance of being present and the need to find fulfillment in life. I became an expert in communication skills and relationships and became aware that most of us don't even see a glimpse of what is possible and attainable in them. I learned that where you focus your attention, your energy and emotions in your life attach to that. What I also discovered, along the way, was my purpose for living, my passion, the one thing that sets my soul on fire. I became aware of my lifelong love affair with people, with watching people glow and helping people grow. I learned that every single individual is born with certain inherent gifts given to them by their Creator, that they are graced with, that are uniquely theirs. It is their mission in life to discover what that is and gift it to the world. I learned the value of serving my fellow man and being a giver rather than a taker in every opportunity presented. Every experience I share with you in this book, my memoir, has made me the man I am today. There is nothing that has occurred or happened to me that was an accident or a mistake. In my journey, it was through the virtues of faith, hope and love that overcame and conquered any and all obstacles and hardships that I had ever endured. I now spend my life giving unto others as an empowerment coach, life guide and strategist; to explore with anyone who I have been blessed with their presence, with the opportunity to jointly find what it is holding them back from having the breakthroughs in life they are destined to discover. I have completely reshaped my physical body, as well as my emotional, spiritual, and mental makeup. I have overcome obesity, alcoholism, divorce, heartache, depression, anxiety, as well as, suicidal thoughts and desires. I may not know the hardships that some of you are going through, but I understand what it feels like to feel hopeless, alone and afraid. The transformation process was a long journey, but the end result has given me a whole new perspective in life. In doing so, I have become a better man, friend, father and human being. My test has become my testimony. Everything you desire in your life is there for the taking if you can get out of your own way. Seek and thee shall find, knock and the door shall be opened. It's time to break free to have the life that you were destined to live.
