Download or read book Warm Ashes written by Winfred B. Moore and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected from papers presented at the 2000 Citadel Conference on the South, this collection of essays casts additional light on the southern experience and illuminates some of the directions its formal study may take in the new century. Emory Thomas opens the collection with a meditation on the shortcomings of the historical literature on the Civil War era. Essays by James McMillin, Kirsten Wood, and Patrick Breen revise estimates about the volume of the African slave trade, reveal how white widows embraced paternalism, and explore new ramifications of the fear of slave insurrection. Essays by Christopher Phillips on the birth of southern identity and by Brian Dirck and Christopher Waldrep on the key role language played in waging and in resolving the Civil War round out the discussion of the Old South. Turning to the New South, the next groups of essays examine religion and race relations during the Jim Crow era. Paul Harvey, Joan Marie Johnson, James O. Farmer Jr., and William Glass show how the beliefs of various Protestant churches - Pentecostal, Episcopalian, Presbyterian, and Methodist - produced surprising episodes of racial interaction, gave rise to at least one vocal c
Download or read book A Black Girl in the Middle written by Shenequa Golding and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A blazingly honest essay collection from a refreshing new voice exploring the in-between moments for Black women and girls, and what it means to simply exist “At thirty-seven years old I can say Shenequa is a big name and I’m a big, bold woman.” Shenequa Golding doesn’t aim to speak for all Black women. We’re too vast, too vibrant, and too complicated. As an adult, Golding begins to own her boldness, but growing up, she found herself “kind of in the middle,” fluctuating between not being the fly kid or the overachiever. Her debut collection of essays, A Black Girl in the Middle taps into life’s wins and losses, representing the middle ground for Black girls and women. Golding packs humor, curiosity, honesty, anger, and ultimately acceptance in 12 essays spanning her life in Queens, NY, as a first generation Jamaican American. She breaks down the 10 levels of Black Girl Math, from the hard glare to responses reserved for unfaithful boyfriends. She comes to terms with and heals from fraught relationships with her father, friends, and romantic partners. She takes the devastating news that she’s a Black girl with a “flat ass” in stride, and adds squats to her routine, eventually. From a harrowing encounter in a hotel room leading her to explore celibacy (for now) to embracing rather than fearing the “Milli Vanilli” of emotions in hurt and anger, Golding embraces everything she’s learned with wit, heart, and humility. A Black Girl in the Middle is both an acknowledgment of the complexity and pride of not always fitting in and validation of what Black girlhood and womanhood can be.

Download or read book Civil Rights and Politics at Hampton Institute written by Hoda M. Zaki and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil Rights and Politics at Hampton Institute presents the story of how one of the preeminent--and historically conservative--private institutions of black higher education came to play an important part in the struggle for full racial equality. Hoda Zaki traces Hampton Institute's progressive impact to its first black and alumnus president, Alonzo G. Moron, who used his office to launch a powerful and sustained attack against segregation. A brilliant man, who was uncompromising in his beliefs about creating a more inclusive democracy, Moron struggled against conservative forces both outside of and within his own institution before his ouster by Hampton's predominantly white governing board in 1959--just a year before the Greensboro sit-ins signaled the death knell for the segregationist era in which his institution had prospered. Hoda Zaki details the significance of Moron's complicated career through discussions of his theories of citizenship education, his work in promoting equal rights as a mission for the college, and the political philosophy (as evidenced in his speeches) that he shared with other civil rights leaders of the era.

Narrated through first-person accounts, the book is filled with humorous and heart-warming anecdotes, personal and local history, recipes, and photographs. Journey with these special women along their remarkable paths that demonstrate the power of perseverance, the importance of family and community, and lifting others as we are lifted.
Download or read book Psalms for Black Lives written by Gabby Cudjoe-Wilkes and published by Upper Room Books. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 2020, while composing a series of devotionals on the Psalms for their church, the Double Love Experience, authors Gabby Cudjoe Wilkes and Andrew Wilkes recognized that these ancient words spoke truth and inspiration not only to their immediate community, but also to the growing number of people doing the holy, demanding work of pursuing justice, undoing structural racism, and building a society that truly values Black lives. The Psalms speak power today as they always have. They have spoken across generations. They have bridged cultural divides and social contexts with their emotional rawness, urge towards justice, and blunt candor about the coarse edges of walking with God. Psalms for Black Lives includes thirty devotions, each containing a psalm, a reflection, and an invitation for the reader to develop a justice imagination through further engagement with the text. Psalms for Black Lives also includes daily discussion questions to support small-group study and a guide for congregational and community groups who want to embody the words of the Psalms together.

Download or read book I Trusted the Process written by Nicholas A. Meade and published by Nicholas A. Meade Ministries. This book was released on 2020-04-12 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does the process of seminary transform? Why do you believe what you believe? What are some effective methods for preaching? How can one be empowered to minister to the masses? I Trusted the Process is a reflection upon how one’s sojourn through seminary answers these questions. Join the author on a journey back in time where his experience or process in seminary transformed him and profoundly shifted the way that he thinks and ministers. While some cast doubt on the worth of seminary, even going to great lengths of labeling it a cemetery, the author’s works collected in this volume from his time in seminary show how seminary can challenge someone; how it challenges someone to the extent that if that someone trusts the process, that someone will come out better on the other side. I Trusted the Process provides models and example work from seminary that readers can use to do their own work of determining what they believe and why. Works within this volume also provide examples of biblical exegesis, preaching methodologies at work, reflections on written works and of holistic ministry, and a pattern for articulating one’s own Christology, among other things. Navigating through this book for those unable to attend seminary can serve as its own type of process. It also provides insight into the mind of one who seeks to help change the world. If one is to believe the glowing words from the foreword and the cover, such a mind is worth exploration. He can say: I Trusted the Process. Can you?

Download or read book Seated at the Table written by Dr. Ayanna Rashida Cummings and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-02-18 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having a seat at the table is analogous to having a voice and decision-making authority in organizations and governmental entities. At a larger, more structural level, having a seat at the table translates to having an impact upon policy and governance. When African Americans and underrepresented ethnic minoritized individuals have such a seat, it is usually deemed a “first” and sometimes the “only” in a sea of whiteness. Seated at the Table is my reflection on what we are capable of as senior level leaders in organizations who desire systemic and structural cultural transformation. As an African American woman, I feel it is particularly poignant that I have such a seat and that I accept as a critical aspect of holding such a position the responsibility to pull others along in our journey towards inclusivity and equity for all people, particularly those who are marginalized and have historically been left out of such discussions and decisions. Throughout this book I provide data and statistics that are shockingly real and which underscore works such as this as exceptionally relevant in today’s racialized society. It is my hope that readers walk away from this book with a sense of urgency and agency as they tackle the malignant -isms that permeate society at large, and subsequently the organizations that have in sum profited from the oppression and denigration of racial and ethnically minoritized groups (Brewer, 2021; Thomas, 2019). No system or institution in the United States, including corporations, is free from the impact of such -isms on their operations, hiring practices, decision-making, evaluation processes, governance procedures, community outreach, team performance, etc. I hope to arm readers with the tools they need to effectively mitigate the impact of such -isms at all levels throughout an organization or enterprise.
