Book Synopsis The Young Crusaders by : V. P. Franklin
Download or read book The Young Crusaders written by V. P. Franklin and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative history of the overlooked youth activists that spearheaded the largest protests of the Civil Rights Movement and set the blueprint for future generations of activists to follow. Some of the most iconic images of the Civil Rights Movement are those of young people engaged in social activism, such as children and teenagers in 1963 being attacked by police in Birmingham with dogs and water hoses. But their contributions have not been well documented or prioritized. The Young Crusaders is the first book dedicated to telling the story of the hundreds of thousands of children and teenagers who engaged in sit-ins, school strikes, boycotts, marches, and demonstrations in which Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other national civil rights leaders played little or no part. It was these young activists who joined in the largest civil rights demonstration in US history: the system-wide school boycott in New York City on February 3, 1964, where over 360,000 elementary and secondary school students went on strike and thousands attended freedom schools. Later that month, tens of thousands of children and teenagers participated in the “Freedom Day” boycotts in Boston and Chicago, also demanding “quality integrated education.” Distinguished historian V. P. Franklin illustrates how their ingenuity made these and numerous other campaigns across the country successful in bringing about the end to legalized racial discrimination. It was these unheralded young people who set the blueprint for today’s youth activists and their campaigns to address poverty, joblessness, educational inequality, and racialized violence and discrimination. Understanding the role of children and teenagers transforms how we understand the Civil Rights Movement and the broader part young people have played in shepherding social and educational progress, and it serves as a model for the youth-led “reparatory justice” campaigns seen today mounted by Black Lives Matter, March for Our Lives, and the Sunrise Movement. Highlighting the voices of the young people themselves, Franklin offers a redefining narrative, complemented by arresting archival images. The Young Crusaders reveals a radical history that both challenges and expands our understanding of the Civil Rights Movement.

Book excerpt: Roberta Ritter has been waiting for a knight in shining armor for most of her humdrum life. She’s a doormat, a nobody whose mother died a few years back, a smart girl who wastes her afternoons working in a failing arcade in a failing shopping mall. And then a Crusader arrives. . . . Only this Crusader is a virtual reality war game, one that does a booming business at the arcade, despite—or perhaps because of—the controversy over its racism and violence. Roberta’s boring life explodes. Onetime friends become bitter enemies, strangers reveal themselves as allies, and Roberta discovers the truth about her mother’s death. In uncovering what’s real and not just virtually real, Roberta learns to stand up for herself—and, maybe, to become her own crusader.

Book Synopsis Pop Culture Panics by : Karen Sternheimer
Download or read book Pop Culture Panics written by Karen Sternheimer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moral panics reveal much about a society’s social structure and the sociology embedded in everyday life. This short text examines extreme reactions to American popular culture over the past century, including crusades against comic books, music, and pinball machines, to help convey the "sociological imagination" to undergraduates. Sternheimer creates a critical lens through which to view current and future attempts of modern-day moral crusaders, who try to convince us that simple solutions—like regulating popular culture—are the answer to complex social problems. Pop Culture Panics is ideal for use in undergraduate social problems, social deviance, and popular culture courses.

Book Synopsis Iqbal Masih and the Crusaders Against Child Slavery by : Susan Kuklin
Download or read book Iqbal Masih and the Crusaders Against Child Slavery written by Susan Kuklin and published by Henry Holt and Company (BYR). This book was released on 2013-12-24 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December of 1994, twelve-year-old Iqbal Masih was honored as a hero. Just two years earlier, he had been a slave, condemned to a lifetime of bonded labor in a Pakistani carpet factory. And five months later, he was dead, murdered in his homeland. Though he is gone, his actions inspired an international campaign of middle-school students and adults that is helping to free and to educate thousands of child laborers. Here is the powerful story of Iqbal's life and death in Pakistan, and of the movement that continues the struggle against child labor today. This book does more than recount Iqbal's own amazing odyssey. Both sobering and inspiring, it shows how we are all implicated in the global practice of child labor, and how we can all work together to end it.

Download or read book Never Say Die written by Douglas Hsu and published by 2414 World Publishers. This book was released on 2022-08-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His father wanted him to become an engineer. His mother wanted him to become a doctor. But David Yone Mo ended up becoming the leader of Burma's number one street gang. This book tells the story of one of the greatest human miracles in 20th century Asia: the transformation of Burma's most reckless gangster into one of the country's most outstanding preachers and social workers. After God healed him supernaturally on his deathbed, this ex- heroin addict literally became a father to thousands of drug addicts, orphans, lepers, and HIV-AIDS patients across his nation. The backdrop to David's life story is the fascinating Southeast Asian nation of Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. Politically, Myanmar is known for its isolationist military government with a questionable human rights record. Culturally, it is known for its staggering ethnic diversity: roughly two-thirds of the population are ethnic Burmans, while the rest consists of over 130 officially recognized different tribes. And religiously, it is known for its overwhelming Buddhist majority. Unfortunately, Myanmar's most famous export in recent years has been heroin. The infamous "Golden Triangle" region comprised of Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand accounted for most of the world's heroin supply up through the 1990s. From this area blanketed with opium poppy fields, the poppies are processed into opium and the opium into heroin. For many years, Myanmar held the dubious honor of being the world's leading exporter of heroin. Myanmar's heroin has not only ravaged the lives of millions in the West, but it has also ruined countless Burmese lives too. Heroin addiction and its inevitable consequences such as crime and HIV-AIDS continue to be monumental problems for millions of Burmese, especially the youth. In light of these sobering facts, the life and work of the late Rev. Dr. David Yone Mo take on even greater significance.
