Download or read book Everyday Black Heroes written by Felicia Oyewusi and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-09-07 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights black girls and women doing great things daily in areas such as tech and the arts! It also contains affirmations and activities. The characters referenced are inspired by people who are still living. They represent the diversity of blackness and epitomise what it means to be an 'Everyday Black Hero'. It is an empowering read for any young, dark-skinned girl and will certainly leave a positive impact on every reader. In a world where brown skinned people are constantly being told that they are hated and unloved, that they are lesser than, that they have to fight so much harder for anything that they want than their peers, it is easy to forget the positives. A lot of young black children have been exposed to the news and are aware of the consequences that racism may have on their lives. The trauma that they face as a result of racism and 'education or preparation for what lies ahead' could lead to some young people giving up before they have even begun. Therefore, it is important to always qualify the toxicity of the world around us with empowerment and encouragement. So that we are not raising children who are dejected from the get-go. My experiences as a young black woman inspired me to write this book. To remind children that 'black' is not an ethnicity. Black people are doing great things all around the world. Even if they can not see the representation in their community, I hope that they can see it in this book.

Book excerpt: February Is Black History Month in the United States, and this month is set aside to celebrate Black heroes and the accomplishments of famous African Americans. The story of the Black American is one of tragedy and pain, yet also one of great triumph and victory- this is why we celebrate Black histroy heroes. The United States could not have the economic power that it has today without the slave labor of stolen Africans. Not only did Black people create this nation's economic wealth, Black Americans shaped the very fabric of U.S. culture. From music to theater to science and brilliant innovations, Blackness, and Black heroes, formed some of the greatest aspects of this very broken nation. And while February's Black History Month is dedicated to the Black experience in the United States, we also want to take time to celebrate the contributions of Black heroes from around the globe. Happy Black History Month! Celebrate Black history heroes everyday!

Download or read book Hoodlums written by William L. Van Deburg and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Luther King Jr. Malcolm X. Muhammad Ali. When you think of African American history, you think of its heroes—individuals endowed with courage and strength who are celebrated for their bold exploits and nobility of purpose. But what of black villains? Villains, just as much as heroes, have helped define the black experience. Ranging from black slaveholders and frontier outlaws to serial killers and gangsta rappers, Hoodlums examines the pivotal role of black villains in American society and popular culture. Here, William L. Van Deburg offers the most extensive treatment to date of the black badman and the challenges that this figure has posed for race relations in America. He first explores the evolution of this problematic racial stereotype in the literature of the early Republic—documents in which the enslavement of African Americans was justified through exegetical claims. Van Deburg then probes antebellum slave laws, minstrel shows, and the works of proslavery polemicists to consider how whites conceptualized blacks as members of an inferior and dangerous race. Turning to key works by blacks themselves, from the writings of Frederick Douglass and W. E. B. Du Bois to classic blaxploitation films like Black Caesar and The Mack, Van Deburg demonstrates how African Americans have combated such negative stereotypes and reconceptualized the idea of the badman through stories of social bandits—controversial individuals vilified by whites for their proclivity toward evil, but revered in the black community as necessarily insurgent and revolutionary. Ultimately, Van Deburg brings his story up-to-date with discussions of prison and hip-hop culture, urban rioting, gang warfare, and black-on-black crime. What results is a work of remarkable virtuosity—a nuanced history that calls for both whites and blacks to rethink received wisdom on the nature and prevalence of black villainy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detailed profiles bring stories of African American heroism in the U.S. armed forces to life, from the American Revolution through the conflict in Afghanistan. African American war heroes remain largely unsung, their courage and valor relegated to the less traveled corners of history. This work seeks out those heroes—soldiers, sailors, flyers, and marines—who earned their nation's highest medals in defense of freedom and equality. Some of these men and women died on the battlefield. Others returned to civilian life in a segregated country. What they share across time and circumstance is devotion to duty and to the country they defended, even in the face of personal and racial prejudice. Entries profile decorated African Americans from all of the U.S. conflicts since the Revolutionary War. In addition to providing basic biographical data, each profile offers a detailed account of the individual's heroic actions. The book also offers sidebars on events and topics relevant to African Americans in the U.S. armed forces, such as histories of the 54th Massachusetts and the Tuskegee Airmen.
