Download or read book A Massacre in Memphis written by Stephen V. Ash and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unprecedented account of one of the bloodiest and most significant racial clashes in American history In May 1866, just a year after the Civil War ended, Memphis erupted in a three-day spasm of racial violence that saw whites rampage through the city's black neighborhoods. By the time the fires consuming black churches and schools were put out, forty-six freed slaves had been murdered. Congress, furious at this and other evidence of white resistance in the conquered South, launched what is now called Radical Reconstruction, policies to ensure the freedom of the region's four million blacks-and one of the most remarkable experiments in American history. Stephen V. Ash's A Massacre in Memphis is a portrait of a Southern city that opens an entirely new view onto the Civil War, slavery, and its aftermath. A momentous national event, the riot is also remarkable for being "one of the best-documented episodes of the American nineteenth century." Yet Ash is the first to mine the sources available to full effect. Bringing postwar Memphis, Tennessee to vivid life, he takes us among newly arrived Yankees, former Rebels, boisterous Irish immigrants, and striving freed people, and shows how Americans of the period worked, prayed, expressed their politics, and imagined the future. And how they died: Ash's harrowing and profoundly moving present-tense narration of the riot has the immediacy of the best journalism. Told with nuance, grace, and a quiet moral passion, A Massacre in Memphis is Civil War-era history like no other.

Download or read book Legends Landmarks written by Lorraine Presley Decker and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-11 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LONG SUMMARY My book titles LEGENDS AND LANDMARKS is a collection of original poetry about hills and valleys of my life. Like Pollack painted with his own brush, I write with my own mind. I preserve memories by writing my feelings at therir most intense moments. This collection is a mirror in which I see what has made me who I am. I choose to write in the propreaceptive method; literally writing whatever my mind is telling me at any particular moment. If awakened groggy with sleep, I take pen in hand write. Not thinking, I hear my mind speak. Whatever thoughts go through the muddled mind, come our in words that may make sense only to the writer or one who has felt the same tremors. They surprise me with theire message, and I learn one more thing about myself. My mind tells me how different and unique I am, and I find my destination where beauty lives. My book, spanning sixty years of poetic expression in which I keep the past alive covers a lifetime of living. Many of my poem relate to my Mother, who died at a young age but left me many memories. MASQUERADE was my first venture into my feelings about my Mother. THE DOVE followed, remembering her love of the song, and playing it on the piano. Leaving me with a sadness of loss, I learned much about her. When I wrote WISHING, I could feel her presence. I realized that I feel great loss for friends, come who were schoolmates. I expressed this in REUNION. It was difficult to write, as sadness overwhelming me. I was happy to write a birthday poem to a very dear friend who had been a role model for me. I titled it MARY'S BIRTHDAY. The pleasure it brought her was a joy to see. She framed the porm, and it remains a favorite of hers. I wroteWINTER DAY, in appreciation for the beautiful morning-into night. As an did not appreciate the beauty of winter as I had in Florida, which is where I was when I wrote WINTER DAY. There are many poems about my love of the sea and the sun. MY FRIEND THE SUN is a description of what the sun does for me. SUNRISE is a favorite poem of mine, as is MY SONG. Both were written while enjoying a vacation at the beacj, one of mu favorite places to be. I AM AT HOME is an account of how I felt while enjoying the surf, playing. In writing PROPHESY, I use the action of the tides to describe how I feel about life in general. There are a few philosophical poems about life as I felt at times, and GRATITUDE was evident for many conditions, including unrequited love. My love of flowers, birds and butterflies is shown in several waus. FLOWERS ON THE WALL is a whimsical description of the uses of my garden, as is MAYFLOWER, a tribute to my aloe cactus. SUBTERFUGE is a saturnine dream. I woke to see that I had written a message so unlike me, it would take some untangling to find just what it was all about. I have come to the conclusion it was to show me just how upside-down I can be, unpredictable and how both loved and hated I am, but it's alright, it's my world. My love for my husband is shown by my worlds in WHEN YOU ARE AWAY. I wrote it while waiting for his return from work out of town. Again, much later, when he became ill and died, I was in such agony that I could not retire to bed for sleep without writing my love for him, and my awareness of his strength even in death. It took me two years to be able to write CLOSURE. I had to let him go, and go on with my life. I am glad I had written YOUR LOVE, earlier in our lives. Having been a widow for three years, I learned I could love once again. A FRACTURED WORLD was the beginning of a new start in life. OPEN LETTER TO MU VALENTINE was written on Valentine's Day and read at a meeting of the POETRY WORKSHOP. A TIME OF WAR is a nostalgic remembrance of the U.S. Infantry maneuvers, which were enacted close to where I lived at the time, in 1943. this was published in FLORIDA POETS' SOCIETY ANTHOLOGY in 2002. included in this publication was EPILOGUE, a poem of joy at having overcome an illness.

Download or read book Brown White Black written by Nishta J. Mehra and published by Picador. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intimate and honest essays on motherhood, marriage, love, and acceptance Brown White Black is a portrait of Nishta J. Mehra's family: her wife, who is white; her adopted child, Shiv, who is black; and their experiences dealing with America's rigid ideas of race, gender, and sexuality. Her clear-eyed and incisive writing on her family's daily struggle to make space for themselves amid racial intolerance and stereotypes personalizes some of America's most fraught issues. Mehra writes candidly about her efforts to protect and shelter Shiv from racial slurs on the playground and from intrusive questions by strangers while educating her child on the realities and dangers of being black in America. In other essays, she discusses growing up in the racially polarized city of Memphis; coming out as queer; being an adoptive mother who is brown; and what it's like to be constantly confronted by people's confusion, concern, and expectations about her child and her family. Above all, Mehra argues passionately for a more nuanced and compassionate understanding of identity and family. Both poignant and challenging, Brown White Black is a remarkable portrait of a loving family on the front lines of some of the most highly charged conversations in our culture.

Download or read book Tales from Tennessee Lawyers written by William Lynwood Montell and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2005-10-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps no one has keener insight into human nature than the small-town trial lawyer. All but lost in an era of corporate law firms and specialized practice, this charismatic figure was once at the political center of a community and was the holder of its many secrets. A small town attorney's only specialization was the town itself. Serving as both defender and accuser, these lawyers witnessed communities and individuals at their best and worst. Men and women of the legal profession often exert influence in seemingly small realms, but they play an important role in the lives of many people and help shape the American legal system. Veteran oral historian and folklorist William Lynwood Montell has brought together a fascinating collection of tales gathered from lawyers and judges throughout the Volunteer State. Montell searched small towns and cities across Tennessee for the law's older and middle age practitioners, and he shares the wealth of their experience in Tales from Tennessee Lawyers. These stories are recorded exactly as told by the lawyers themselves, and they reveal candid and unusual snapshots of the legal system -- both past and present. With a tape recorder and an ear for detail, Montell uncovers events and lives ranging from the commonplace to the extraordinary. A man resorts to prostitution to alleviate the debt brought about by divorce proceedings. Identical twins are tried for a string of murders. A convict flees his trial by stealing the judge's car. A prosecutor tries the nation's first school-shooting case. Judge George Balitsaris, a former University of Tennessee football player, escorts a special prosecutor out of a notorious rape trial as a precaution after the defendant's family issues threats. These and similar stories illustrate the strange, complex cases argued daily from Tennessee's largest cities to its smallest towns. Far more than just a collection of lawyer jokes, these recollections shed light on the tense and often dangerous lives of those who work to see that all receive fair representation and treatment in court.
