Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to Chicago's commemorative honors. The who, where, when, and why of honorary streets, days, and other recognitions.---Who or what is a WOOGM and why is there a Chicago alley named for it?This is the question I asked myself one summer day more than a decade ago as I looked up at the brown background and white letters signs flanked with four white stars. What are all these brown honorary signs around the city; and who are these people, places and things being honored?Why was July 28, 2013 Chaka Khan Day in Chicago? Who was Abraham Lincoln Marovitz?My curiosity became a quest for the answer. I have created the most complete compilation of honorary streets, days, tributes and congratulations, for the Honorary Chicago series. Discover what makes Chicago "the world's largest small town."This book is organized by neighborhood can be used as a tour book of Chicago's honorary streets, it contains additional historical and biographic information regarding honorary days and commemorations. This edition represents only a fraction of what I have developed for the Honorary Chicago record. There are far more points on the maps than are included in the book and that some of the signs, buildings, locations, and landmarks no longer exist. All are chronicled by Honorary Chicago, lest they be lost to history – again.Proceeds from this book will help support further research and updates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revered as the most prestigious tournament in golf, the Masters commands international attention, even among nongolfers. The first and second editions of The Masters: A Hole-by-Hole History of America’s Golf Classic took the unique approach of tackling Augusta National hole by hole. Each hole had its own chapter, with colorful stories on the greatest shots, biggest disasters, and most amazing events that took place on each. David Sowell returns to Augusta with the third edition of The Masters, adding more history and updating each hole with additional stories of greatness and tales of woe for a new generation of golfers led by Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, and Patrick Reed, as well as from an older guard represented by Bubba Watson, Adam Scott, and Sergio García. The legends of the Masters are in full force in this lively look at America’s golf classic. From Bobby Jones and Gene Sarazen to Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus to Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson to Bubba Watson and Jordan Spieth, all the greatest Masters moments of the greatest—and not so great—golfers are here in one book. This third edition provides a rich historical view of the course where success breeds legends and where failure can haunt even the most brilliant golfer’s career.

Download or read book Robert Franklin Williams Speaks A Documentary History written by Ronald J. Stephens and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2024-07-16 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Williams was a compassionate man. He was an intelligent American citizen and Korean war veteran, who claimed his right of American citizenship. Acutely aware of the broken promises of the US government, he remained fully invested in the rights, privileges, and responsibilities the Constitution guaranteed all of its citizens. As many of his contemporaries now confess, Williams’s strength and appeal, as explained by his second son, John Williams, was his uncompromising stance and determination to act on the American dream he imagined for social, economic, and political equality for African Americans. The skills he acquired as a journalist and propaganda specialist were key to his political development, evolution, and transnational collaborations with Cuba and China, which he used to challenge domestic policies in the United States, were way beyond the imagination of his supporters in the United States. Williams ultimately used these strengths, strategies, and collaborations to deliver liberting messages of freedom, resistance, and social and economic equality on behalf of the rights of African Americans. Williams significantly contributed to the Black freedom struggle and should not be forgotten. Robert Franklin Williams Speaks: A Documentary History includes a collection of interviews, speeches, and writings by and about Williams as an internationalist, pragmatist, and civil and human rights champion.
