Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit of Piney Woods As I have read over this interesting revealing of The Spirit of Piney Woods, I am again impressed by the conviction that grows upon me more strongly in each year added to my sixty years of knowledge of such work, that here IS the greatest of opportunities set before us in' the great experiment in democracy which the United States has been working out. I mean that God has a purpose in the ordering that ten per cent. Of our population should be of this Negro people whose ancestors were brought against their will from Africa, the greatest continent in physical extent. It is, also, to be said that the increasing knowledge which is being ao quired respecting Africa and its people gives ever more warrant for our having respect for and hope from the evolution of the Negro peoples. I have been led to give much thought to the facts which are being developed respecting people of and from Africa and find my enlarging opportunities for knowing, personally, more and more of the men and women of this race a high privilege.

Download or read book Piney Woods School An Oral History written by and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of an extraordinary school in the piney woods of Mississippi and of the enduring people of Piney Woods Community who forged on against incredible odds to make a better world for themselves and their children. To these poor backwoods turn-of-the-century African Americans of Rankin County, Mississippi, Laurence C. Jones (1882-1975) brought the Booker T. Washington model of training African Americans to be good workers. Because the school followed Jim Crow social codes and mirrored what were then expedient race relations in the South, Piney Woods School thrived without controversy and with encouragement from Mississippi whites. It served a noble purpose by opening its doors for the educational training of underprivileged rural African American students as well as for the visually and physically impaired of the state at a time when there was absolutely no other institution for them. Piney Woods School: An Oral History is based upon a series of interviews with e

Download or read book Sweet Tea written by E. Patrick Johnson and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giving voice to a population too rarely acknowledged, Sweet Tea collects more than sixty life stories from black gay men who were born, raised, and continue to live in the South. E. Patrick Johnson challenges stereotypes of the South as "backward" or "repressive" and offers a window into the ways black gay men negotiate their identities, build community, maintain friendship networks, and find sexual and life partners--often in spaces and activities that appear to be antigay. Ultimately, Sweet Tea validates the lives of these black gay men and reinforces the role of storytelling in both African American and southern cultures.
