Download or read book Hopes and Expectations written by Barbara J. Beeching and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2016-12-29 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes in rich detail African American daily life among free blacks in the North in the 1860s. Based on a treasure trove of more than two hundred personal letters written in the 1860s, Hopes and Expectations tells the story of three young African Americans in the North. Living on Maryland’s eastern shore, schoolteacher Rebecca Primus sent “home weeklies” to her parents in Hartford and also corresponded with friend Addie Brown, a domestic worker back home. Addie wrote voluminously to Rebecca, lamenting their separation and describing her struggle to achieve a semblance of security and stability. Around the same time, Rebecca’s brother, Nelson, began writing home about his new life in Boston, as he set out to make a name and a career for himself as an artist. The letters describe their daily lives and touch on race, class, gender, religion, and politics, offering rare entry into individual black lives at that time. Through extensive archival research, Barbara J. Beeching also shows how the story of the Primus family intersects with changes over time in Hartford’s black community and the country. Newspapers and census tracts, as well as probate, land, court, and vital records help her trace an arc of local black fortunes between 1830 and 1880. Seeking full equality, blacks sought refinement and respectability through home ownership, literacy, and social gains. One of the many paradoxes Beeching uncovers is that just as the Civil War was tearing the nation apart, a recognizable black middle class was emerging in Hartford. It is a story of individuals, family, and community, of expectation and disappointment, loss and endurance, change and continuity. “This is a powerful book and a truly important story. Beeching provides a richly detailed survey of life in Connecticut, the political and racial climates at various historical moments, and the web of intraracial and interracial networks that informed the Primus family experiences. Multifaceted and thoroughly absorbing, Hopes and Expectations will reintroduce people to a New England that they thought they knew.” — Lois Brown, author of Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins: Black Daughter of the Revolution

Download or read book The Shooting of Rabbit Wells written by William Loizeaux and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What put a white cop and a black youth on a tragic collision course? This moving account is more timely than ever. On a frigid winter’s night in 1973, William “Rabbit” Wells, a young man of mixed race, was shot and killed by a white policeman named William Sorgie outside a bar in Bernardsville, New Jersey. The shooting, later ruled an accident, stunned local residents and the nation. For thirty years, author William Loizeaux, who went to high school with Rabbit, hasn’t been able to forget what happened. With clear-eyed compassion and unsparing honesty, The Shooting of Rabbit Wells re-creates the lives of both victim and killer, and the forces that brought them together. At the story’s center is Rabbit Wells himself. Part African-American, part Cherokee, part white, Rabbit never knew his father and was neglected by his mother. Here is a memoir, a biography, and the story of a writer’s search for the scattered remains of a catastrophe. A stirring and powerful document, it is also a work of terrible beauty: by giving us the life of Rabbit Wells, Loizeaux makes us understand—and feel—how unacceptable and irreparable the loss was, and how deeply the bullet that killed him is lodged in the American identity.
