Book Synopsis Remembering Lucile by : Polly E. Bugros McLean
Download or read book Remembering Lucile written by Polly E. Bugros McLean and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2018-09-28 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1918 Lucile Berkeley Buchanan Jones received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Colorado, becoming its first female African American graduate (though she was not allowed to "walk" at graduation, nor is she pictured in the 1918 CU yearbook). In Remembering Lucile, author Polly McLean depicts the rise of the African American middle class through the historical journey of Lucile and her family from slavery in northern Virginia to life in the American West, using their personal story as a lens through which to examine the greater experience of middle-class Blacks in the early twentieth century. The first-born daughter of emancipated slaves, Lucile refused to be defined by the racist and sexist climate of her times, settling on a career path in teaching that required great courage in the face of pernicious Jim Crow laws. Embracing her sister’s dream for higher education and W. E. B. Du Bois’s ideology, she placed education and intelligence at the forefront of her life, teaching in places where she could most benefit African American students. Over her 105 years she was an eyewitness to spectacular, inspiring, and tragic moments in American history, including horrific lynchings and systemic racism in housing and business opportunities, as well as the success of women's suffrage and Black-owned businesses and educational institutions. Remembering Lucile employs a unique blend of Black feminist historiography and wider discussions of race, gender, class, religion, politics, and education to illuminate major events in African American history and culture, as well as the history of the University of Colorado and its relationship to Black students and alumni, as it has evolved from institutional racism to welcoming acceptance. This extensive biography paints a vivid picture of a strong, extraordinary Black woman who witnessed an extraordinary time in America and rectifies her omission from CU’s institutional history. The book fills an important gap in the literature of the history of Blacks in the Rocky Mountain region and will be of significance to anyone interested in American history.

Download or read book Poetic Affairs written by Michael Eskin and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2008-02-26 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetic Affairs deals with the complex and fascinating interface between literature and life through the prism of the lives and works of three outstanding poets: the German-Jewish poet and Holocaust survivor, Paul Celan (1920–1970); the Leningrad native, U.S. poet laureate, and Nobel Prize winner, Joseph Brodsky (1940–1996); and Germany's premier contemporary poet, Durs Grünbein (born 1962). Focusing on their poetic dialogues with such interlocutors as Shakespeare, Seneca, and Byron, respectively—veritable love affairs unfolding in and through poetry—Eskin offers unprecedented readings of Celan's, Brodsky's, and Grünbein's lives and works and discloses the ways in which poetry articulates and remains faithful to the manifold "truths"—historical, political, poetic, erotic—determining human existence.

Download or read book Dialogues and Letters written by Seneca and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2005-02-24 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major writer and a leading figure in the public life of Rome, Seneca (c. 4BC-AD 65) ranks among the most eloquent and influential masters of Latin prose. This selection explores his thoughts on philosophy and the trials of life. In the Consolation to Helvia he strives to offer solace to his mother, following his exile in AD 41, while On the Shortness of Life and On Tranquillity of Mind are lucid and compelling explorations of Stoic thought. Witty and self-critical, the Letters - written to his young friend Lucilius - explore Seneca's struggle to acquire philosophical wisdom. A fascinating insight into one of the greatest minds of Ancient Rome, these works inspired writers and thinkers including Montaigne, Rousseau, and Bacon, and continue to intrigue and enlighten.

Book excerpt: I wanted to write about real life, real experiences, true journeys and raw emotions - the feelings of every day living amidst the trauma and drama of divorce.It's true that women often find themselves being put on the back burner, especially after a divorce. The fact is, no one knows what to do with us. The world quickly labels us as this or that, and I should know. I had to carry on after a divorce, and it meant dealing with that awful period of time after everything finalized. In that post-mortem moment there is no turning back, and instead we must "turn the page" and begin a new chapter. No one can tell your story like you, and within these pages I share mine.

Download or read book Picture Perfect written by Cameron Dokey and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2005-09-27 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A face revealed, and rage unleashed, old anger set upon the world. Three sisters must come together to fight or worse fates will surely be unfurled. The Bay Mirror is covering the grand reopening of Mural House, a San Francisco landmark built in the 1920s, and Phoebe invites her sisters to attend. Piper's got her hands full with P3, but Paige happily tags along to see the once-famous artists' colony that housed great art, passion, and scandal. Notable for all three is the story of the building's architect, William Lancaster, who, during the construction, fell in love with an artist, a young divorcée named Isabella Marshall. Their relationship was tumultuous at best, eventually ending in tragedy ... and in William's disappearance. The hoopla surrounding Mural House's reopening has made William and Isabella's love affair legendary. With the permission of Isabella's daughter, Lucile, Phoebe has been reprinting the couple's love letters in her column. She joins Lucile, now an elderly woman, at the gala's main event, the unveiling of a long-painted-over mural. Lucile is visibly upset when the mural is revealed; in fact, she seems horrified. Before passing out from fear, she whispers, The evil has been released.

Download or read book Picturing Savannah written by and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This catalogue for the Telfair Museum of Art’s exhibition Picturing Savannah: The Art of Christopher A. D. Murphy provides valuable information on Murphy’s life and career, documenting four decades of his finest work in all media: oils, watercolors, etchings, and pencil and charcoal drawings. Born in 1902, Murphy was one of Savannah’s most accomplished and beloved artists. After studying in New York City at the Art Students League, he returned to his native Savannah. He taught privately at the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences and at Armstrong College (now Armstrong Atlantic State University). In 1929, he helped found the Association of Georgia Artists and in 1947 he collaborated with Walter Hartridge on the book Savannah, providing drawings and etchings of his native city. Just as his success peaked in New York in 1929, the stock market crashed and Murphy found it necessary to return home to his family. Of all the artists who have taken Savannah and its environs as their primary inspiration, Murphy was among the most sensitive and skillful. He knew the city intimately and portrayed it in all its facets--elegant and shabby, rich and poor. His work ranged from refined portraits of Savannah’s elite to spontaneous depictions of African American children, from images of the city’s grand homes to renderings of rural farms and shanties. Murphy’s work captures a city in flux, a southern town slowly adopting a modern lifestyle. An incipient preservationist, Murphy documented many homes, neighborhoods, and landmarks that no longer exist. Murphy’s work was included in annual exhibits of the Southern States Art League and at the American Watercolor Society and was shown nationally and internationally at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Cleveland Print Society, the Philadelphia Print Club, the Brooklyn Society of Etchers, the Savannah Art Club, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. He also contributed to such popular publications as Country Life, American Architect, House Beautiful, and Southern Architect. The show, which is installed at the Telfair Academy from February 6 through June 1, 2008, presents 80-100 works drawn from local private and corporate collections, from the Telfair Museum of Art’s nineteen holdings, and from holdings of the Morris Museum of Art in Augusta.

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of Fermat?s Last Theorem, ?an extraordinary story?( Philadelphia Inquirer) of discovery, evolution, science, and faith. In 1929, French Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was a part of a group of scientists that uncovered a skull that became known as Peking Man, a key evolutionary link that left Teilhard torn between science and his ancient faith, and would leave him ostracized by his beloved Catholic Church. His struggle is at the heart of The Jesuit and the Skull, which takes readers across continents and cultures in a fascinating exploration of one of the twentieth century?s most important discoveries, and one of the world?s most provocative pieces of evidence in the roiling debate between creationism and evolution.
