Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronicling the period from 1900 to the 1950s, Growing Up Black in New Castle County, Delaware brings together the touching stories of African Americans in northern Delaware who grew up during an era of both hardship and happiness. In a time when racial segregation was law and the nation faced such challenges as war and economic depression, African-American children in New Castle County and around the country were busy exploring the world around them-playing with friends, celebrating holidays, attending school, and learning the important life lessons that would carry them through the rest of the twentieth century. In this valuable volume of oral history, the recorded childhood memories of African Americans-from family rituals to first jobs, neighborhood games to classroom assignments-are illustrated with vintage photographs culled from family albums and archives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing Up Black in America are the stories of a Black American female with Sickle Cell Disease and her personal experiences with the systemic racism and prejudice I have witnessed and received. It starts from the birth of black children, and the health care system. The teachers, and the school system, the religion we are taught. The police, with their harassment and straight up murders. The justice system, with their school to prison pipeline, and laws written specifically to arrest the black male and separate the black family. The church's that funded the kidnapping of African slaves. And the racist parents that continue to teach this cycle of hatred and judgement of others, generation after generation. We all have our stories, and these are mine. And after hundreds of years, we are still left with the same unanswered question; "What have we, as the black American children of kidnapped African slaves ever do to deserve such hatred?" {AND THIS IS WHY WE PROTEST}

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing Up Black In America Without Experiencing Racism will challenge you to question your own deep seated prejudices. To go beyond the visual black and white to the many gray areas in-between. While most people are too prideful to admit they have any form of bias, this first time author unashamedly admits her own. Then goes on to explain how and why she fixed them. She goes even deeper to acknowledge racism as not just a problem between races but most importantly a problem intraracially. While this book is targeted at creating positive change in the black community, it is written for everyone. Similarly, all races struggle with many of the deep problems mentioned in this book. Still today, prejudice is their biggest one as well. With her own personal experiences woven in-between facts and myths, she hopes to awaken a nation with her truth. A change of mindset and culture for everyone are a couple of the solutions she suggests. Instead of feeling as though the color of her skin is stopping her from achieving her goals, she recognized that only she can do that.
Download or read book Growing Up Black in America Without Experiencing Racism written by Marie Shenteria and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-07 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing Up Black in America Without Experiencing Racism: A New Reality and Hope for the Future is a culmination of facts, truths, solutions, and my own personal experiences. As a 29 year old black woman in America, I have literally never experienced racism. Therefore, I bring awareness to the many issues I have faced. Sadly, I have been torn down, abused, and my self-esteem lowered by those of my own race. I recognize racism as no longer the biggest problem that is plaguing the black community by bringing awareness to the many other issues that are. My purpose in writing this book is to make people consciously aware of the way that we treat each other. I want to help the black community acknowledge the many issues that are ignored so we can actively work on fixing them together; which in turn helps society become better. If we can't fix the world for us then we should unselfishly aim to fix it for younger generations because they deserve better. I hope these words cause a stir in you so that you begin using your voice for change as well. My intent is only to help our world become better TOGETHER.

This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing Up Black in White is author Kevin Hofmann's gift to the American public seeking answers to so many questions about what it is to be raised in a racially diverse household. Born to a white mother and black father in Detroit in 1967, only weeks before the terrible race riots that brought a major city to its knees, the author was taken to a foster home and then adopted by a white minister and his wife, already the parents of three biological children. In this fascinating memoir, Hofmann reveals the difficulties and joys of being part of this family, particularly during a time and in a location where acceptance was tentative and emotions regarding race ran high and hot.--P. 4 of cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume encyclopedia presents a state-by-state history of African Americans in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. African American populations are established in every area of the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska (more than10 percent of the population of Fairbanks, Alaska, is African American). Black Americans have played an invaluable role in creating our great nation in myriad ways, including their physical contributions and labor during the slavery era; intellectually, spiritually, and politically; in service to our country in military duty; and in areas of popular culture such as music, art, sports, and entertainment. The chapters extend chronologically from the colonial period to the present. Each chapter presents a timeline of African American history in the state, a historical overview, notable African Americans and their pioneering accomplishments, and state-specific traditions or activities. This state-by-state treatment of information allows readers to take pride in what happened in their state and in the famous people who came from their state.
