Download or read book I Am Brother Oji written by Mello Ayo and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 1989, the Royal Ontario Museum staged a controversial exhibit called “Into The Heart of Africa.” This sparked a protest demonstration that proved to be a life changing experience for many. The youth-led outcry for change became a landmark in Ontario’s race-relations leading to an upheaval so impactful it altered the course of history for museums worldwide becoming in effect a milestone in the way museums mount and curate exhibits. Thirty-one years later, for the first time, the authorized biography of one of the main protagonists, Adisa Oji, the only demonstrator to be imprisoned for his actions, is being told publicly. Few people know of his courageous story, a young man who heroically stood up against institutionalized racist practices and was punished. His up until now unknown personal history sheds irrefutable light on the current public and global agitation regarding race and racism and compels us to honestly re-examine the long-lasting tragic effects of colonialism and slavery. This biography fills an important gap even for those who may be familiar with the Royal Ontario Museum episode while providing an informative gripping history for those who may not. In a world where the significant contributions of people of African ancestry are most often overlooked or given short-thrift, I AM Brother Oji honours and highlights for global recognition the life, leadership and legacy of a young Canadian of African Caribbean descent who distinguished himself during a time of social controversy. Adisa S. Oji’s extraordinary story provides a window of illumination on how to break cycles of oppression and exploitation. His story is a source of fresh and thoughtful insight into what it means to be a person of African ancestry living in a predominantly white European milieu and calls attention to the effectiveness of efforts directed at addressing racial discrimination, inequity, and injustice. With the help of abundant amounts of photographs, Mello Ayo as narrator and social commentator weaves a vivid beautiful story of uncompromising triumph and self-empowerment. While the ROM episode provides a point of departure, the unflinching narrative goes beyond and connects the past with the present to create an enchanting hero’s journey transiting through the sociopolitical and historical landscapes of Jamaica, Canada, and Ghana. At a time when many young people are becoming disenchanted, slumping into alienation and learned helplessness or collapsing into sub-cultures of violence, a look at how one young man kept his youthful optimism alive and how he refused to become a victim while making a positive difference is deserving of our attention.

Book excerpt: "This week, someone will make you very angry. Give in to your inner feelings...kill them. No one will catch you." Like a seed planted, the idea began to sprout across the city. A newspaper is intended to inform, to speak the truth. No one expects it to incite to murder. When the words above are printed in Tokyo's most widely circulated journal, one seemingly normal Sunday morning, a string of crimes ensues. As investigators scramble to merely keep up with the heightened work load, they are almost blinded to the underlying cause. An ex-convict, betrayed by the press years before, is seeking revenge by destroying their reputation in the most bloody, indirect way his sick mind can imagine. If he isn't stopped by the following weekend, casualties will triple. For Kyoko, Saburou the week was already turning out to be the most hectic of his life—watching his six year old son for the first time. After a day in the park, they come home to a box of the boy's belongings and a note tactlessly stating the child was his to keep. To top it off, Kyoko is called in from his week off to join the team of forensic scientists. Work mixes with family too easily. Kyoko struggles not only to find the right balance in his new life as a father. He also was elected to find and stop the deadly criminal filling newspapers in the city with his plot for revenge.
Download or read book I Aim to Be That Man written by Sherrie Willis Brown and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-07-29 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: D. L. Moody once heard Henry Varley say, "The world has yet to see what God will do with a man fully consecrated to Him. Moody was struck to his soul and, when the words would not leave him, responded, 'By God's help, I aim to be that man.'" When God called Avery to follow him as a true disciple, Avery knew he must make a similar commitment or remain a mediocre Christian for the rest of his life. His surrender and his filling of the Spirit initiated a spiritual life of impact with global results. Avery Willis is well-known, especially within the Southern Baptist denomination, for his involvement in movements of God over the past fifty years. Avery Willis's obedience to God led him to be a church planter in the United States and to strive for indigenous church planting in Indonesia, where he served as a missionary. He was a pioneer and leader in spiritual renewal, disciple-making, decentralized theological education, global mission partnerships, and chronological Bible storying. He is a well-known author, most notably of the MasterLife discipleship materials. This biography-written memoir-style through his own journals, letters, and newsletters to his intercessors-recounts Avery's life journey, his spiritual encounters and struggles, and the daily habits that Avery demonstrated as a disciple. It is less about his greatest moments than the personal daily choices to follow God with all his heart. It is the story of a man committed to God's purposes and passion to bring "as many people of the world as possible" to God's redemptive grace in Jesus, regardless of the cost.

As their relationship deepens—and Osita struggles to understand Vivek’s escalating crisis—the mystery gives way to a heart-stopping act of violence in a moment of exhilarating freedom.

Download or read book Elder Brother and the Law of the People written by Robert Alexander Innes and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2013-11-30 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pre-reserve era, Aboriginal bands in the northern plains were relatively small multicultural communities that actively maintained fluid and inclusive membership through traditional kinship practices. These practices were governed by the Law of the People as described in the traditional stories of Wîsashkêcâhk, or Elder Brother, that outlined social interaction, marriage, adoption, and kinship roles and responsibilities.In Elder Brother and the Law of the People, Robert Innes offers a detailed analysis of the role of Elder Brother stories in historical and contemporary kinship practices in Cowessess First Nation, located in southeastern Saskatchewan. He reveals how these tradition-inspired practices act to undermine legal and scholarly definitions of “Indian” and counter the perception that First Nations people have internalized such classifications. He presents Cowessess’s successful negotiation of the 1996 Treaty Land Agreement and their high inclusion rate of new “Bill-C31s” as evidence of the persistence of historical kinship values and their continuing role as the central unifying factor for band membership.Elder Brother and the Law of the People presents an entirely new way of viewing Aboriginal cultural identity on the northern plains.
