Book Synopsis How the Word Is Passed by : Clint Smith
Download or read book How the Word Is Passed written by Clint Smith and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “important and timely” (Drew Faust, Harvard Magazine) #1 New York Times bestseller examines the legacy of slavery in America—and how both history and memory continue to shape our everyday lives. Beginning in his hometown of New Orleans, Clint Smith leads the reader on an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks—those that are honest about the past and those that are not—that offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping our nation's collective history, and ourselves. It is the story of the Monticello Plantation in Virginia, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving more than four hundred people. It is the story of the Whitney Plantation, one of the only former plantations devoted to preserving the experience of the enslaved people whose lives and work sustained it. It is the story of Angola, a former plantation-turned-maximum-security prison in Louisiana that is filled with Black men who work across the 18,000-acre land for virtually no pay. And it is the story of Blandford Cemetery, the final resting place of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers. A deeply researched and transporting exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history, How the Word Is Passed illustrates how some of our country's most essential stories are hidden in plain view—whether in places we might drive by on our way to work, holidays such as Juneteenth, or entire neighborhoods like downtown Manhattan, where the brutal history of the trade in enslaved men, women, and children has been deeply imprinted. Informed by scholarship and brought to life by the story of people living today, Smith's debut work of nonfiction is a landmark of reflection and insight that offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of our country and how it has come to be.

XIII RIGHT GIVING Howard Briggs, who sold newspapers at the corner of Market and Main streets in Millville every day after school, had met with an accident. One of the boys was excitedly telling his teacher, Miss Mayberry, about it the next morning. He was run down by an automobile and his right leg broken, and to the boys of the school this seemed almost the greatest misfortune that could come to a vigorous thirteen-year-old boy. "Now, if it had been his arm," suggested one sympathizer, "he could have that done up in a sling and come to school just the same." "Yes," said another, "and perhaps he could even have sold papers with his good hand." "My, won't he be disappointed not to get promoted next spring!" exclaimed one of the girls. Miss Mayberry, who had been listening but had said little, now spoke. "I must attend a teachers' meeting this afternoon, so I can't call on Howard, but I suggest that you appoint a committee of three to give him our sympathy and find out if there is anything we can do to help him." The pupils agreed to this eagerly, and the next morning directly after the opening exercises Miss Mayberry asked for a report from the visitors. Edwin Foster was made the spokesman. "Why, Miss Mayberry," Edwin began eagerly, "Howard is the pluckiest boy you ever saw. He looked pretty white and smelled like an apothecary shop, but he said he wanted his schoolbooks sent home so that he could keep up in all his studies. I told him we'd help by letting him know just how fast we were going." "Yes," said Miss Mayberry, "and if the doctor -assures us that he is able to do this work, perhaps we can make some arrangement for him to send the regular written work to me to correct. But I have another suggestion to make if you have finished, ...
Book Synopsis Call Me American (Adapted for Young Adults) by : Abdi Nor Iftin
Download or read book Call Me American (Adapted for Young Adults) written by Abdi Nor Iftin and published by Ember. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adapted from the adult memoir, this gripping and acclaimed story follows one boy's journey into young adulthood, against the backdrop of civil war and his ultimate immigration to America in search of a better life. Abdi Nor Iftin grew up amidst a blend of cultures, far from the United States. At home in Somalia, his mother entertained him with vivid folktales and bold stories detailing her rural, nomadic upbrinding. As he grew older, he spent his days following his father, a basketball player, through the bustling streets of the capital city of Mogadishu. But when the threat of civil war reached Abdi's doorstep, his family was forced to flee to safety. Through the turbulent years of war, young Abdi found solace in popular American music and films. Nicknamed Abdi the American, he developed a proficiency for English that connected him--and his story--with news outlets and radio shows, and eventually gave him a shot at winning the annual U.S. visa lottery. Abdi shares every part of his journey, and his courageous account reminds readers that everyone deserves the chance to build a brighter future for themselves. FOUR STARRED REVIEWS!

Book Synopsis Bullets That Changed America by : Peter Zablocki
Download or read book Bullets That Changed America written by Peter Zablocki and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-06-15 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One gunshot by a single person could be powerful enough to move a whole nation. Well known are the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, William McKinley, and Martin Luther King Jr., and their long-lasting consequences. History, however, is littered with lesser-known gunshots that have had equally echoing outcomes. Some were small mistakes or misjudgments, others intentional acts that sparked events documented in our history textbooks. A single bullet serves as the catalyst for each of the stories in this book. We may or may not know who fired it but we know each bullet's end point and the effects it had on America's trajectory: the wars, social movements, and political and economic paradigm shifts. The names of those involved may not to many be recognizable but the events their acts precipitated are etched in American history.
