Download or read book We Are the Caretakers written by Titus Pankey III and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I believe that we have accomplished the goals that were set in that unaccredited school that we created. A majority of the forming members of that school are now corporate caretakers, educator and lawyer, entrepreneurs, developers, and investors. More than half of those from that school of sharecroppers are either multi-millionaires or mega-millionaires. From that school there is one husband and wife team who started with only fifty dollars saved from a share from three years of yearly sharecropper’s payout during the year nineteen-nineteen to a nineteen-thirty-four recorded net worth of over eighteen million dollars. It is good to conspire and plan when you are trying to determine which way you are going. It is also good to remember which direction that you have come from.

Download or read book Barney written by Michael Rosenthal and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An impetuous outsider who delighted in confronting American hypocrisy and prudery, Barney Rosset liberated American culture from the constraints of Puritanism. As the head of Grove Press, he single-handedly broke down the laws against obscenity, changing forever the nature of writing and publishing in this country. He brought to the reading public the European avant-garde, among them Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter, radical political and literary voices such as Malcolm X, Che Guevara, and Jack Kerouac, steamy Victorian erotica, and banned writers such as D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, and William Burroughs. His almost mystical belief in the sacrosanct nature of the First Amendment essentially demarcates the before and after of American publishing. Barney explores how Grove's landmark legal victories freed publishers to print what they wanted, and it traces Grove's central role in the countercultural ferment of the sixties and early seventies. Drawing on the Rosset papers at Columbia University and personal interviews with former Grove Press staff members, friends, and wives, it tells the fascinating story of this feisty, abrasive, visionary, and principled cultural revolutionary—a modern "Huckleberry Finn" according to Nobel Prize–winning novelist Kenzaburo Oe—who altered the reading habits of a nation.

Book excerpt: The next person she trusts may be the last . . . “Don’t miss this exciting mix of hot romance and Black Ops.” —Catherine Coulter, New York Times–bestselling author Lily Andrews was once the most sought-after undercover operative at Unit 67, a Black Ops agency buried deep within the US Intelligence Community. But then her partner—and fiancé—turned rogue, leaving her for dead after a mission gone horribly wrong. Disgusted with 67’s attempt to cover up Jackson’s traitorous actions, Lily walked away from everything she knew and loved . . . and swore she’d hunt her ex down on her own and bring him to justice. When the handsome, undeniably alpha Derek Moretti needs her help to pursue a ruthless sociopath who is putting advanced weaponry into the hands of terrorists, Lily sees her chance to return to 67 with her pride intact. She didn’t realize how much she’d missed the adrenaline rush of being undercover—or maybe that’s the heat that races through her whenever Derek is near. But soon Lily will have to choose between the vengeance she craves and the country she’s sworn to protect. And with the clock ticking down on a nuclear catastrophe, she knows that this time, if she’s trusted the wrong man, she won’t live to regret it . . . “Incredibly intense, beautifully written and drop dead sexy . . . a top-notch romantic thriller. It grabs you by the throat on the first page and doesn’t let go until the very last line. Nicolello’s storytelling gets better and better. You won’t want to miss this one.” —New York Times–bestselling author J.T. Ellison

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Parting the Waters, the first volume of his essential America in the King Years series, Pulitzer Prize winner Taylor Branch gives a “compelling…masterfully told” (The Wall Street Journal) account of Martin Luther King’s early years and rise to greatness. Hailed as the most masterful story ever told of the American Civil Rights Movement, Parting the Waters is destined to endure for generations. Moving from the fiery political baptism of Martin Luther King, Jr., to the corridors of Camelot where the Kennedy brothers weighed demands for justice against the deceptions of J. Edgar Hoover, here is a vivid tapestry of America, torn and finally transformed by a revolutionary struggle unequaled since the Civil War. Taylor Branch provides an unsurpassed portrait of King's rise to greatness and illuminates the stunning courage and private conflict, the deals, maneuvers, betrayals, and rivalries that determined history behind closed doors, at boycotts and sit-ins, on bloody freedom rides, and through siege and murder. Epic in scope and impact, Branch's chronicle definitively captures one of the nation's most crucial passages.
