Book Synopsis Jesus, Jobs, and Justice by : Bettye Collier-Thomas
Download or read book Jesus, Jobs, and Justice written by Bettye Collier-Thomas and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2010-02-02 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Negroes must have Jesus, Jobs, and Justice,” declared Nannie Helen Burroughs, a nationally known figure among black and white leaders and an architect of the Woman’s Convention of the National Baptist Convention. Burroughs made this statement about the black women’s agenda in 1958, as she anticipated the collapse of Jim Crow segregation and pondered the fate of African Americans. Following more than half a century of organizing and struggling against racism in American society, sexism in the National Baptist Convention, and the racism and paternalism of white women and the Southern Baptist Convention, Burroughs knew that black Americans would need more than religion to survive and to advance socially, economically, and politically. Jesus, jobs, and justice are the threads that weave through two hundred years of black women’s experiences in America. Bettye Collier-Thomas’s groundbreaking book gives us a remarkable account of the religious faith, social and political activism, and extraordinary resilience of black women during the centuries of American growth and change. It shows the beginnings of organized religion in slave communities and how the Bible was a source of inspiration; the enslaved saw in their condition a parallel to the suffering and persecution that Jesus had endured. The author makes clear that while religion has been a guiding force in the lives of most African Americans, for black women it has been essential. As co-creators of churches, women were a central factor in their development. Jesus, Jobs, and Justice explores the ways in which women had to cope with sexism in black churches, as well as racism in mostly white denominations, in their efforts to create missionary societies and form women’s conventions. It also reveals the hidden story of how issues of sex and sexuality have sometimes created tension and divisions within institutions. Black church women created national organizations such as the National Association of Colored Women, the National League of Colored Republican Women, and the National Council of Negro Women. They worked in the interracial movement, in white-led Christian groups such as the YWCA and Church Women United, and in male-dominated organizations such as the NAACP and National Urban League to demand civil rights, equal employment, and educational opportunities, and to protest lynching, segregation, and discrimination. And black women missionaries sacrificed their lives in service to their African sisters whose destiny they believed was tied to theirs. Jesus, Jobs, and Justice restores black women to their rightful place in American and black history and demonstrates their faith in themselves, their race, and their God.

Book Synopsis My Soul Is a Witness by : Bettye Collier-Thomas
Download or read book My Soul Is a Witness written by Bettye Collier-Thomas and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2000-01-17 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A POWERFUL AND INSPIRING RECORD OF ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PERIODS IN AMERICA'S HISTORY, MY SOUL IS A WITNESS PRESENTS THE FULL HISTORIC SCOPE OF THE HARD-FOUGHT BATTLE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS. From the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision, in which legal segregation in public schools was declared unconstitutional, the Nashville sit-ins, and the Freedom Rides to the March on Washington, Bloody Sunday, the march from Selma to Montgomery, and the subsequent passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 -- and everything in between -- My Soul Is a Witness is the first comprehensive book-length chronology of the civil rights era in America. My Soul Is a Witness extends the examination of civil rights activities between 1954 and 1965 beyond the southern states to include the rest of the country. Although Martin Luther King, Jr., was a central towering figure of the era, this volume shifts the focus to the thousands of people, places, and events that the Civil Rights Movement encompassed. And while the movement began in the arena of education, My Soul Is a Witness covers events in the areas of employment, public accommodations, housing, voting rights, religion, entertainment, sports, and the military. The more than 2,500 entries are based on information found in articles and reports published in three sources: The New York Times, Jet magazine, and the Southern School News. The basic chronology is supplemented with longer features that explore topics in greater depth as well as highlight issues well known at the time but largely unknown today by scholars and the general public.

Mothers and daughters, sisters and cousins, they lived for summers at the lake house until a tragic accident changed everything. The Summer That Made Us is an unforgettable story about a family learning to accept the past, to forgive and to love each other again. That was then… For the Hempsteads, two sisters who married two brothers and had three daughters each, summers were idyllic. The women would escape the city the moment school was out to gather at the family house on Lake Waseka. The lake was a magical place, a haven where they were happy and carefree. All of their problems drifted away as the days passed in sun-dappled contentment. Until the summer that changed everything. This is now… After an accidental drowning turned the lake house into a site of tragedy and grief, it was closed up. For good. Torn apart, none of the Hempstead women speak of what happened that summer, and relationships between them are uneasy at best to hurtful at worst. But in the face of new challenges, one woman is determined to draw her family together again, and the only way that can happen is to return to the lake and face the truth. Robyn Carr has crafted a beautifully woven story about the complexities of family dynamics and the value of strong female relationships.
