Book Synopsis Sign My Name to Freedom by : Betty Reid Soskin
Download or read book Sign My Name to Freedom written by Betty Reid Soskin and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2019-12-27 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Betty Reid Soskin’s 96 years of living, she has been a witness to a grand sweep of American history. When she was born in 1921, the lynching of African-Americans was a national disgrace, minstrel shows were the most popular American form of entertainment, women were looked at suspiciously by many for exercising their right to vote, and most African-Americans in the Deep South could not vote at all. From her great-grandmother, who had been enslaved until she was in her mid-20s, Betty heard stories of slavery and the difficult times for Black Folk that immediately followed. In her lifetime, Betty has seen the nation begin to break down its race and gender biases, watched it nearly split apart in the upheavals of the civil rights and Black Power eras, and, finally, lived long enough to witness both the election of an African-American president and the re-emergence of a militant, racist far right. But far more than being merely a witness, Betty Reid Soskin has been an active participant with so many other Americans in shaping the country as we know it now. The child of Louisiana Creole parents who refused to bow down to Southern discrimination, she was raised in the Black Bay Area community before the great westward migration of World War II. After working in the civilian homefront effort in the war years, she and her husband, Mel Reid, helped break down racial boundaries by moving into a white community east of the Oakland hills. There she raised four children—one openly gay, one developmentally disabled—while working to end the prejudices against the family that existed among many of her neighbors. With Mel, she opened up one of the first Bay Area record stores in Berkeley both owned by African-Americans and dedicated to the distribution of African-American music. Her community organizing activities eventually led her to work as a state legislative aid, helping to plan the innovative Rosie the Riveter National Park in Richmond, California, then to a "second" career at the Rosie Park as the oldest park ranger in the history of the National Park Service. In between, she used her talents as a singer and songwriter to interpret and chronicle the great social upheavals that marked the 1960s. In 2003, Betty displayed a new talent, writing, when she created the popular blog CBreaux Speaks. Now followed by thousands, her blog is a collection of Betty’s sometimes fierce, sometimes gently persuasive, but always brightly honest story that weaves both the wisdom of the ages and the fresh enthusiasm of an always youthful mind into her long journey through an American and African-American life, as well as America’s long struggle to both understand and cleanse its soul. Blending together selections from many of Betty’s hundreds of blog entries with interviews, letters, and speeches collected throughout her long life, Sign My Name to Freedom invites readers into an American life through the words and thoughts of a national treasure who has never stopped looking at herself, the nation, or the world with fresh eyes.
Book Synopsis Reading My Father by : Alexandra Styron
Download or read book Reading My Father written by Alexandra Styron and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-04-19 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PART MEMOIR AND PART ELEGY, READING MY FATHER IS THE STORY OF A DAUGHTER COMING TO KNOW HER FATHER AT LAST— A GIANT AMONG TWENTIETH-CENTURY AMERICAN NOVELISTS AND A MAN WHOSE DEVASTATING DEPRESSION DARKENED THE FAMILY LANDSCAPE. In Reading My Father, William Styron’s youngest child explores the life of a fascinating and difficult man whose own memoir, Darkness Visible, so searingly chronicled his battle with major depression. Alexandra Styron’s parents—the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Sophie’s Choice and his political activist wife, Rose—were, for half a century, leading players on the world’s cultural stage. Alexandra was raised under both the halo of her father’s brilliance and the long shadow of his troubled mind. A drinker, a carouser, and above all “a high priest at the altar of fiction,” Styron helped define the concept of The Big Male Writer that gave so much of twentieth-century American fiction a muscular, glamorous aura. In constant pursuit of The Great Novel, he and his work were the dominant force in his family’s life, his turbulent moods the weather in their ecosystem. From Styron’s Tidewater, Virginia, youth and precocious literary debut to the triumphs of his best-known books and on through his spiral into depression, Reading My Father portrays the epic sweep of an American artist’s life, offering a ringside seat on a great literary generation’s friendships and their dramas. It is also a tale of filial love, beautifully written, with humor, compassion, and grace.
Book Synopsis The Courage Game by : Jeni Whittaker
Download or read book The Courage Game written by Jeni Whittaker and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gladys grows up in a large family, convinced she is the odd one out, especially compared with pretty Rita, the sister closest to her. Then elder brother Jim invents a new game he calls the Courage Game, in which all seven of the children will be tested for their ability to keep a stiff upper lip. Little does she know, she'll recall this game years later, comparing his little hand-made badges to those handed out by the W.S.P.U., the suffragettes. The poverty of Ireland in the 1890s is capped by the terrible conditions of the Birmingham slums where she first works as a teacher. Heartsick at the hardship she sees all around her, she's driven to change it, but only the Pankhursts seem to offer any hope of a woman’s voice being heard - providing they win the right to vote, that is. Enthusiastically, Gladys throws herself in, juggling her job, her burgeoning love life and her work for the suffragettes. But how long can one woman keep walking such a line without losing her balance?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immerse yourself in the heart of a timeless masterpiece of mystical literature that has captivated and metamorphosed countless readers across the globe. In this poignant autobiography, Thérèse of Lisieux, the "little flower" of Carmel, invites us to tread the prodigious itinerary of her spiritual ascent. From her idyllic childhood steeped in fervor in Alençon to the vicissitudes of her precocious vocation, through the throes of illness, Thérèse unveils with disarming candor the mysteries of her soul. Far from any grandiloquence, she shares with us her joys, her torments, her dark nights, but above all, her incandescent love for the divine. Through her limpid and incandescent prose, Thérèse outlines the contours of an innovative spirituality: the "little way" of spiritual childhood. Marked by absolute trust and boundless abandonment to celestial mercy, this path of humility and simplicity has captivated the masses and galvanized the most eminent saints of the 20th century, from Mother Teresa to John Paul II. More than an intimate confession, this book is a veritable epic of Love. By revealing to us the unfathomable treasures of her heart, Thérèse exhorts us to love unrestrainedly, to give ourselves without reserve. Each page glows with the spiritual radiance that has haloed Thérèse with a universal aura. Let yourself be entranced by the quintessence of this extraordinary testimony. Whether you are passionate about spirituality or in search of transcendence, little Thérèse will guide you on the path to holiness with the gentleness of a sister and the omniscience of a Doctor of the Church. A seminal work to embrace imperatively!
