There is no dust on these pages as the author brilliantly tells our national story with skill and brevity."

Download or read book African American Historic Places written by National Register of Historic Places and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1995-07-13 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culled from the records of the National Register of Historic Places, a roster of all types of significant properties across the United States, African American Historic Places includes over 800 places in 42 states and two U.S. territories that have played a role in black American history. Banks, cemeteries, clubs, colleges, forts, homes, hospitals, schools, and shops are but a few of the types of sites explored in this volume, which is an invaluable reference guide for researchers, historians, preservationists, and anyone interested in African American culture. Also included are eight insightful essays on the African American experience, from migration to the role of women, from the Harlem Renaissance to the Civil Rights Movement. The authors represent academia, museums, historic preservation, and politics, and utilize the listed properties to vividly illustrate the role of communities and women, the forces of migration, the influence of the arts and heritage preservation, and the struggles for freedom and civil rights. Together they lead to a better understanding of the contributions of African Americans to American history. They illustrate the events and people, the designs and achievements that define African American history. And they pay powerful tribute to the spirit of black America.

Download or read book American Heritage written by Hillsdale College. History Faculty and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too many colleges and universities have become places for focusing on means and not upon ends--and, as such, places where the confused and bewildered of the next generation acquire techniques and tools, but graduate having gained neither direction nor order to their souls. The Hillsdale College History Faculty has painstakingly assembled American Heritage: A Reader in order to provide its own students with a true liberal arts education grounded in the American tradition. Perfect for classroom use at the high school level and up, this extraordinary textbook will provide readers both inside and outside the classroom with a traditional educational experience that enlarges and ennobles the mind. From the Preface: "The primary role of this Reader is to supply a rich sample of documents from the periods we examine. These primary sources provide portals into the American past. Reading them, we escape the provincialism of our own time and culture. As artifacts of the past, they do not convey information merely, but they are the sources that historians interpret to make sense of our past. Consequently, we invite students to engage in the same enterprise as they examine these fragments of the American past as the primary means of understanding both the roots of American order and sources for contemporary disorders. This daunting task of viewing sympathetically ideas that, although part of our heritage, seem distant and alien is an important and exhilarating part of a proper education in which one seeks to make sense of oneself as an American."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With all its tidbits of historical facts, Gloria Elam's story of her ancestors would be of interest to people even outside her family. She paints a picture of characters reaching hundreds of years back, one that rolls nicely and is fun to read. You very quickly get involved with the tale." Carolea Hassard, Texas weekly newspaper journalist "In her book, Gloria Peoples Elam has traced her family from the ancient border area between Scotland and England to the present time. The coverage of the historical events in this book is impressive and complete. From 1649 and the first ancestry on the James River to the American Revolution, the Battle for Texas Independence, the Civil War, World War I, to World War II, Peoples ancestors have been involved. They have been part of the history of Parker County Texas, where she resides; and also throughout Texas and the State of Oklahoma. Down through the years the caretakers of our history have been invaluable. Gloria has been a very effective caretaker of her family history and much, much more." Laurie Moseley III, Curator, Springtown Legends Museum, Texas State Archaeological, Society Member and Past President, Retired Texas Educator As you read the pages of this wonderful book you will quickly see Gloria's passion for history as she unfolds the history of her family in the settling of these United States. Her ancestry will come alive before you and you will be gently reminded that in some way we are all a part of this Great American Heritage. Pastor Doug Harris, Agnes Baptist Church, Springtown Chamber of Commerce President 2011-2012 It was fascinating to read this genealogical history of Gloria's family that she so cleverly has woven through different eras of America's history. She managed to account for her family ancestors and established a legacy by placing them in the important events taking place in America from the 1600's to the late 1800's.

Download or read book Discovering African American St. Louis written by John Aaron Wright and published by Missouri History Museum. This book was released on 2002 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Americans have been part of the story of St. Louis since the city's founding in 1764. Unfortunately, most histories of the city have overlooked or ignored their vital role, allowing their influence and accomplishments to go unrecorded or uncollected; that is, until the publication of Discovering African American St. Louis: A Guide to Historic Sites in 1994. A new and updated 2002 edition is now available to take readers on a fascinating tour of nearly four hundred African American landmarks. From the boyhood home of jazz great Miles Davis in East St. Louis, Illinois, to the site of the house that sparked the landmark Shelley v. Kraemer court case, the maps, photographs, and text of Discovering African American St. Louis record a history that has been neglected for too long. The guidebook covers fourteen regions east and west of the Mississippi that represent St. Louis's rich African American heritage. In the words of historian Gary Kremer, "No one who reads this book and visits and contemplates the places and peoples whose stories it recounts will be able to look at St. Louis in the same way ever again."
