Download or read book The Brother You Choose written by Susie Day and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1971, Eddie Conway, Lieutenant of Security for the Baltimore chapter of the Black Panther Party, was convicted of murdering a police officer and sentenced to life plus thirty years behind bars. Paul Coates was a community worker at the time and didn't know Eddie well – the little he knew, he didn't much like. But Paul was dead certain that Eddie's charges were bogus. He vowed never to leave Eddie – and in so doing, changed the course of both their lives. For over forty-three years, as he raised a family and started a business, Paul visited Eddie in prison, often taking his kids with him. He and Eddie shared their lives and worked together on dozens of legal campaigns in hopes of gaining Eddie's release. Paul's founding of the Black Classic Press in 1978 was originally a way to get books to Eddie in prison. When, in 2014, Eddie finally walked out onto the streets of Baltimore, Paul Coates was there to greet him. Today, these two men remain rock-solid comrades and friends – each, the other's chosen brother. When Eddie and Paul met in the Baltimore Panther Party, they were in their early twenties. They are now into their seventies. This book is a record of their lives and their relationship, told in their own voices. Paul and Eddie talk about their individual stories, their work, their politics, and their immeasurable bond.

Book excerpt: I have traveled all over United States and met a lot of people in fifty years who have given their take on events to cause the things that are occurring now. I am a graduate of the school of hard knocks, also a four-year university. I have come to understand that our country started down that road of violence, death, and destruction during that horrible war in Vietnam, in which I lost a lot of friends. The violence, death, and destruction exploded in our countrys cities after the deaths of Dr. King and Robert Kennedy, two men of peace who wanted to stop the war, killings, and violence. In my book, I attempt to give an idea of the effect that the continuing war on cities is having on us left here in the inner cities. And is now beginning to spread to the schools, suburbs, and towns throughout America. The innocents are the ones getting caught up and who now are saying enough is enough.

Book Synopsis Pennies from Vietnam by : Tracy Smith
Download or read book Pennies from Vietnam written by Tracy Smith and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-07-09 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this family story that includes more than 70 letters from Vietnam, the raw honesty of one homesick teenage boy speaks for every lonely soldier at war. Huey crew chief Larry Smith grew into a hardened man in his First Cavalry helicopter while his little sister Tracy started kindergarten back in New Jersey and learned of war from the family television. As Larry turned 19 in December 1967, battles intensified and his letters darkened, casting doubt on his promise to return home. Decades after the war, as he lay in a coma, Tracy read her brother's letters in full and vowed to uncover the whole truth of his war. What she learned makes the case for generational trauma in the mental health realm: children do not belong in war, nor should they watch one unfold on television.
