Book excerpt: As a child growing up in Cleburne County, Arkansas, I learned most of my familys past from my mother. My mother spent her entire life in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. The Ozark Mountains, with their beautiful hardwood trees, rocky and rolling hills, clear running streams, wild game, and the Little Red River were a living paradise to some of the greatest people in the world. The Ozark Mountain people were often characterized as being raggedy, barefooted hill folks, who talked funny and used bad grammar. Most of them were considered to be illiterate, and if they were lucky, they might have a fourth grade education. They were considered to be different from most folks in Arkansas because of their superstitions, old remedies, and funny ways. Most of the hill folks in Van Buren and Cleburne counties either dipped snuff or chewed tobacco. Several of them made their living making and selling moonshine.

Book excerpt: The mother of Emmett Till recounts the story of her life, her son’s tragic death, and the dawn of the civil rights movement—with a foreword by the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. In August 1955, a fourteen-year-old African American, Emmett Till, was visiting family in Mississippi when he was kidnapped from his bed in the middle of the night by two white men and brutally murdered. His crime: allegedly whistling at a white woman in a convenience store. The killers were eventually acquitted. What followed altered the course of this country’s history—and it was all set in motion by the sheer will, determination, and courage of Mamie Till-Mobley, whose actions galvanized the civil rights movement, leaving an indelible mark on our racial consciousness. Death of Innocence is an essential document in the annals of American civil rights history, and a painful yet beautiful account of a mother’s ability to transform tragedy into boundless courage and hope. Praise for Death of Innocence “A testament to the power of the indestructible human spirit [that] speaks as eloquently as the diary of Anne Frank.”—The Washington Post Book World “With this important book, [Mamie Till-Mobley] has helped ensure that the story of her son (and her own story) will not soon be forgotten. . . .

Download or read book Mamie Who? written by Mamie Currie Hughes and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mamie Currie Hughes' Jacksonville, FL birth certificate carried the label "colored." After all, she was born in the late 1920s. Despite spending a lifetime advocating for Civil Rights, women's empowerment and ethnic equality, this octogenarian dismisses any attempt to assume a "politically correct" label like African American. She is adamant about a lot of things, especially equality and justice, and is revered as a model for social activism in her adopted city of Kansas City, where she came as a bride with her attorney husband.This autobiography is a microcosm of the Civil Rights movement in the U. S. through the eyes of one of its prime movers and shakers in the Midwest. Mamie ran for office in county government, served as a regional director for ACTION, spearheaded and helped with projects to establish the 18th and Vine Jazz District, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and advocated for black history celebrations and archives, holocaust survivors, Hispanics, older Americans and foster families. She fought racism in her children's schools, in Mississippi in the early days of voter registration drives and even in her church.Through scores of tributes and accolades, Mamie Hughes continues to network and advocate for justice, all the while helping neighbors and urging others to get involved and exercise their civic duties and political voices.This is current history through the eyes of someone who made it in her own corner of the world. It's a story of bravery, hardship, racial bias and gender discrimination. When she first ran for office and even for the Miss Fisk contest at her university, everyone wanted to know, "Mamie who?" After Mamie's 86 years of service, few people ever ask that question now.

Download or read book My Mamie Rose written by Owen Kildare and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1903 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many men have told the stories of their lives. I shall tell you mine. Not because I, as they, have done great and important things, but because of the miracle which transformed me. If lives may be measured by progress mine may have some interest to you. When a man at thirty cannot read or write the simplest sentence, and then eight years later is able to earn his living by his pen, his story may be worth the telling. Before beginning, however, the recital of how I found my ambition awakened, let me make my position unmistakably definite. I am not a self-made man, having only contributed a mite in the making. A self-made man can turn around to the road traveled by him and can point with pride to the monuments of his achievements. I cannot do that. I have no record of great deeds accomplished. I am a man, reborn and remade from an unfortunate moral condition into a life in which every atom has but the one message, "Strive, struggle and believe," and I would be the sneakiest hypocrite were I to deny that I feel within me a satisfaction at being able to respond to the call with all the possible energy of soul and body.
