Book excerpt: Come back to Mount Vernon, NY of the 1940s and 50s and hear what I was like growing up and going to school in “The City of Homes” located 30 minutes north of Manhattan.

Take a trip back to Gramatan Avenue and to A.B. Davis High School and its crowded hallways. Chuckle at the wire-caged outside staircase that Pop Phillips looked out on every spring day. Let the beat of the annual school band parade drums resonate again while you “ March, March On Down The Field” with all the high school sports teams. But most of all, hear how it was to grow up in this New York City suburb where no one was obliged to do anything more than go to school, play and stay out of trouble.Written by men and women 50 years after they graduated from A.B. Davis in 1960, “Remembering Mount Vernon, The Place We Called Home” recalls warm and vivid memories about all things Mount Vernon of a bygone era.

Book excerpt: Conceived in 1850, Mount Vernon is a young city, founded as an alternative to overcrowded New York City living by a group of ambitious middle- and laboring-class citizens. By the beginning of the 20th century, Mount Vernon was known as "the city of happy homes." It became a bedroom community for the region's most prominent upwardly mobile movers and shakers. Its ideal location to the city, elegant spacious homes, tree-lined streets, progressive schools and businesses, and receptivity to diversity spawned decades of sustained growth. Today Mount Vernon has become a critical gateway to New York and Westchester County. The images in Mount Vernon highlight the people and places that shaped the formative and golden years of the community, providing the quintessential look at the most dynamic small city in New York.

Download or read book Boy the Window written by Donald Earl Collins and published by . This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a preteen Black male growing up in Mount Vernon, New York, there were a series of moments, incidents and wounds that caused me to retreat inward in despair and escape into a world of imagination. For five years I protected my family secrets from authority figures, affluent Whites and middle class Blacks while attending an unforgiving gifted-track magnet school program that itself was embroiled in suburban drama. It was my imagination that shielded me from the slights of others, that enabled my survival and academic success. It took everything I had to get myself into college and out to Pittsburgh, but more was in store before I could finally begin to break from my past. "Boy @ The Window" is a coming-of-age story about the universal search for understanding on how any one of us becomes the person they are despite-or because of-the odds. It's a memoir intertwined with my own search for redemption, trust, love, success-for a life worth living. "Boy @ The Window" is about one of the most important lessons of all: what it takes to overcome inhumanity in order to become whole and human again.
