Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER "A profound book.... It will break your heart but also leave you with hope." —J.D. Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy "[A] deeply empathetic book." —The Economist With stark photo essays and unforgettable true stories, Chris Arnade cuts through "expert" pontification on inequality, addiction, and poverty to allow those who have been left behind to define themselves on their own terms. After abandoning his Wall Street career, Chris Arnade decided to document poverty and addiction in the Bronx. He began interviewing, photographing, and becoming close friends with homeless addicts, and spent hours in drug dens and McDonald's. Then he started driving across America to see how the rest of the country compared. He found the same types of stories everywhere, across lines of race, ethnicity, religion, and geography. The people he got to know, from Alabama and California to Maine and Nevada, gave Arnade a new respect for the dignity and resilience of what he calls America's Back Row--those who lack the credentials and advantages of the so-called meritocratic upper class. The strivers in the Front Row, with their advanced degrees and upward mobility, see the Back Row's values as worthless. They scorn anyone who stays in a dying town or city as foolish, and mock anyone who clings to religion or tradition as naïve. As Takeesha, a woman in the Bronx, told Arnade, she wants to be seen she sees herself: "a prostitute, a mother of six, and a child of God." This book is his attempt to help the rest of us truly see, hear, and respect millions of people who've been left behind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspiring Christians to see people as God sees them and make a difference As Christians, we want to make a difference in this world. We want to have an impact not only on our immediate family and community, but on wider social issues. We want to protect the vulnerable and engage with the issues that really matter. But how? This book shows us how wonderful, liberating and empowering it is to be made in God’s image. It will change how we see ourselves and other people. Some will feel the call to run for office... others will roll up their sleeves and join the good work of non-profit ministry... and others might simply find little ways to incorporate this vision of human dignity into their everyday lives, and change their community one word, one action, one person at a time. Dan Darling shows us that each one of us can be, and are called to be, part of this new movement-a human dignity revolution that our societies desperately need, and how we-you-are uniquely placed to join. This compelling book shows you how to join the dignity revolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of a famed 20th century, Jewish New York author and literary and social critic who struggled in the shadow of her husband. Diana Trilling’s life with Columbia University professor and literary critic Lionel Trilling was filled with secrets, struggles, and betrayals, and she endured what she called her “own private hell” as she fought to reconcile competing duties and impulses at home and at work. She was a feminist, yet she insisted that women’s liberation created unnecessary friction with men, asserting that her career ambitions should be on equal footing with caring for her child and supporting her husband. She fearlessly expressed sensitive, controversial, and moral views, and fought publicly with Lillian Hellman, among other celebrated writers and intellectuals, over politics. Diana Trilling was an anticommunist liberal, a position often misunderstood, especially by her literary and university friends. And finally, she was among the “New Journalists” who transformed writing and reporting in the 1960s, making her nonfiction as imaginative in style and scope as a novel. The first biographer to mine Diana Trilling’s extensive archives, Natalie Robins tells a previously undisclosed history of an essential member of New York City culture at a time of dynamic change and intellectual relevance. “Meticulously researched and documented, the biography is a detailed foray into the lives of a generation of writers and into the mind of literary critic, writer and intellectual Diana Trilling.”—Ms. “Robins does a solid job of rehabilitating a significant literary and cultural figure of the 20th century, a woman who spent much of her career in her husband’s shadow.”—Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book Prof. O.W. Sadberry, Sr., Man of Quiet Dignity written by Sunny Nash and published by . This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prof. O.W. Sadberry, Sr., Man of Quiet Dignity, is a biographical sketch of a life dedicated to equal, non-discriminatory education as a human right. Educated and peaceful, Prof. Sadberry, who until death, went about his calling to elevate the human condition through education. From 1909 until 1970, Prof. Sadberry educated children to their fullest potential, recognizing their human right to be included in the society their ancestors helped to create; and recognizing their human right to knowledge to prepare for their participation in a freer society he wanted them to help to create.Prof. Sadberry was guided by his family's knowledge, dedication to mission and personal accountability, central elements to chart a temperament for success and, thereby, elevate the human condition. His industrious ancestors' journey began before emancipation, when they found ways to acquire education, forbidden by slave owners and, later, written into oppressive race laws. Along with education, they believed in landownership to secure their tenuous position in the democratic system. Teaching each new generation that, without education and land, no one-regardless of race, color, gender, creed or religion-could partake fully in the opportunities provided in the land of the free. The Sadberry saga continued as they became wealthy African American proprietors of "The Sadberry Farm," a diversified agrarian operation, and one of the first, large-acreage black-owned rural enterprises in the Brazos Valley of Central Texas. A portion of the farm-now spanning six generations of Sadberry ownership-extends into two counties and borders a third: Burleson, Robertson and Brazos, respectively.This book reveals how the Sadberry family produced, among its heirs, Prof. O.W. Sadberry, Sr., who took the family creed even farther, as demonstrated by his life's work in education; civic activities to house black U.S. Military Officers, including Tuskegee Airmen stationed at Bryan Air Field, where they were barred from living in nearby segregated towns; and his role in the plan to desegregate Texas A&M University. Prof. O.W. Sadberry, Sr., earned the distinction of having his name honored, but his humble character sought no such accolades.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Arlene Goldberg grew up in post-World War II New York, she couldn’t have imagined one day becoming known as a pioneer and history maker credited with changing same-sex marriage laws in Florida. Young Arlene was a typical girl. She had a loving relationship with her family, did fine in school, dated boys, and enjoyed all the milestones of youth. Then she met Carol and fell in love. That’s when destiny stepped in and began to shape the future. In the years that followed, Arlene loved Carol with a ferocity and devotion many people only dream about. And that love drove them both into hiding and into the proverbial closet, where they lived in secret for decades. No marriage license could have made their bond more solid or enduring—and yet without that piece of paper, they were denied basic spousal rights. Through tragic illness and terrible loss, the love of Arlene and her wife Carol would go on to shape history, free many to marry those they love, and make our heroine a beloved and revered pioneer in the LGBTQ+ community.
