Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esther Supernault put her life on the line for her beliefs. In Blue Diamond Journey, she shares her secret gift of insight and guidance from the world of spirit. Born of a Celtic and Native American heritage of seers, she narrates how she received incredibly detailed, sometimes humorous messages from her dreams, visions, and meditations—messages that she then validated with solid medical research. Day by day she was guided to specific foods, helpers, therapists, doctors, and books to heal her breast cancer—without chemo or radiation. Every person is part of an interconnected web as vast as this universe, rather than a collection of parts. Our innate, inner soul contains incredible healing wisdoms. Real healing honours this web of interaction—far beyond scientific logic or fact. What causes an illness will also help heal it. All the answers we need to heal are within us, and Esther demonstrates how to listen to those answers. Her journey slowly uncovers a rare diamond in the rough—the dawning evolution of a seer, visionary, and wisdom keeper. With her gifted, gentle healing messages, Esther weaves a marvelous, magical, true tale in Blue Diamond Journey.

Book excerpt: Olette woke up with her skin feeling cool to the touch. Someone had their arm around her bare waist. She sat up in the bathtub that had become her bed for the night. She stepped out of the tub and looked back to see Cloud still sleeping in the tub. Why is he here? Does he love her or is he really a traitor? Why is she sleeping in the bathtub with him? She looked around the room and empty liquor bottles were strewn all over the bathroom floor. Her head hurt. Where are her clothes? What in the world happened last night? Her journey, her mission had been long and hard. It had taken her through a time when there were no limits on magical powers, mystical creatures and supernatural forces that could take the world into a time of total darkness of evil. How did that journey end up in a tub? She had a mission to save the world from her fathers evil plans to use her as his instrument of death that would give him life again. She had been focused on that mission to prevent him from becoming immortal and his death squad from conquering the world. Her mission and journey had been a battle of survival. But the real battle was yet to come. Will she ever be freed from the curse of her father? Will this journey ever come to an end? When will this battle be over?
Download or read book Transformational Sanctuaries in the Middle Level ELA Classroom written by Dywanna E. Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-27 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from an arts-based research and humanizing methodologies, Dywanna Smith documents transformative and liberatory spaces in ELA middle level classrooms, where students address and counteract discrimination, colorism, sizism, and body shaming. Grounded in an original qualitative study of adolescent Black girls, this book examines how such "truth spaces" serve as a medium for adolescents to self-examine their intersectional identities and give voice to their resilience in the face of marginalization. Incorporating original narratives, including the author’s self-actualizing verse novel and the voices of Black female students, Smith shines a light on new culturally sustaining pedagogies and offers much-needed implications for practice. Smith expertly weaves together poetry, research, and empathy; the result is a pioneering text that urges readers to understand the impact of anti-Black violence and the important role literacy sanctuaries can play in supporting Black girls’ resilience and development. The novel in verse at the heart of the volume is not only a provocative and necessary call for transformative change, but also a window into a courageous lived experience. This book is essential reading for pre-service teachers, scholars, and students in literacy education, inclusive education, and teacher education.

Download or read book Black Culture Inc written by Patricia A. Banks and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A surprising and fascinating look at how Black culture has been leveraged by corporate America. Open the brochure for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and you'll see logos for corporations like American Express. Visit the website for the Apollo Theater, and you'll notice acknowledgments to corporations like Coca Cola and Citibank. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial and the National Museum of African American History and Culture, owe their very existence to large corporate donations from companies like General Motors. And while we can easily make sense of the need for such funding to keep cultural spaces afloat, less obvious are the reasons that corporations give to them. In Black Culture, Inc., Patricia A. Banks interrogates the notion that such giving is completely altruistic, and argues for a deeper understanding of the hidden transactions being conducted that render corporate America dependent on Black culture. Drawing on a range of sources, such as public relations and advertising texts on corporate cultural patronage and observations at sponsored cultural events, Banks argues that Black cultural patronage profits firms by signaling that they value diversity, equity, and inclusion. By functioning in this manner, support of Black cultural initiatives affords these companies something called "diversity capital," an increasingly valuable commodity in today's business landscape. While this does not necessarily detract from the social good that cultural patronage does, it reveals its secret cost: ethnic community support may serve to obscure an otherwise poor track record with social justice. Banks deftly weaves innovative theory with detailed observations and a discerning critical gaze at the various agendas infiltrating memorials, museums, and music festivals meant to celebrate Black culture. At a time when accusations of discriminatory practices are met with immediate legal and social condemnation, the insights offered here are urgent and necessary.
Download or read book The Scotia Widows written by Gerald Stern and published by Random House. This book was released on 2008-08-26 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 9, 1976, a violent explosion, fueled by high concentrations of methane gas and coal dust, ripped through the Scotia mine in the heart of Eastern Kentucky coal country. The blast killed fifteen miners who were working nearly three and a half miles underground; two days later, a second explosion took the lives of eleven rescue workers. For the miners’ surviving family members, the loss of their husbands, fathers, and sons was only the beginning of their nightmare. In The Scotia Widows, Gerald M. Stern, the groundbreaking litigator and acclaimed author of The Buffalo Creek Disaster, recounts the epic four-year legal struggle waged by the widows in the aftermath of the disaster. Stern shares a story of loss, scandal, and perseverance–and the plaintiffs’ fight for justice against the titanic forces of “Big Daddy Coal.” Confronted at nearly every turn by a hostile judge and the scorched-earth defense of the Scotia mine’s owners, family members also withstood the opprobrium of some of their neighbors, most of whom relied on coal mining for their livelihoods. Meanwhile, Stern, representing the widows of the disaster on contingency, amassed huge bills and encountered a litany of formidable obstacles. The Eastern Kentucky trial judge withheld disclosure of his own personal financial interest in coal mining, and a popular pro-coal former Kentucky governor served as the lead defense counsel. The judge also suppressed as evidence the federal mine study that pointed to numerous safety violations at the Scotia mine: In a rush to produce more coal, necessary ventilation had been short-circuited, miners had not been trained in the use of self-rescue equipment, and ventilation inspections had not been made. Moreover, Scotia did not even have a trained rescue team. Ultimately, the Scotia widows’ ordeal helped to inspire the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, which changed safety regulations for coal mines throughout the country. The Scotia Widows portrays in gripping detail young women deciding to pursue a landmark legal campaign against powerful corporate interests and the judge who protected them. It is a critically important and timeless story of ordinary people who took a stand and refused to give up hope for justice. Praise for The Scotia Widows: “This is a very scary story, a guided tour of the grinding cogs and spinning wheels inside the machinery of justice. Gerald Stern’s compassionate account of the ordeal of the Scotia widows shows you how horribly out of kilter it can all get when greed and self-interest are at the controls. Only with luck and the expertise of Stern does justice emerge in the end, a bit tarnished but still intact.” –Jonathan Harr, author of A Civil Action

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "suspenseful and completely absorbing story" (San Francisco Chronicle) of how survivors of the worst coal-mining disaster in history triumphed over corporate irresponsibility—written by the young lawyer who took on their case and won. One Saturday morning in February 1972, an impoundment dam owned by the Pittston Coal Company burst, sending a 130 million gallon, 25 foot tidal wave of water, sludge, and debris crashing into southern West Virginia's Buffalo Creek hollow. It was one of the deadliest floods in U.S. history. 125 people were killed instantly, more than 1,000 were injured, and over 4,000 were suddenly homeless. Instead of accepting the small settlements offered by the coal company's insurance offices, a few hundred of the survivors banded together to sue.
