Book excerpt: This biography of Thomas E. Ware covers (78) years of relentless struggle for achievement and success in a segregated society on the streets of Washington D.C. Starting in 1929 and ending in 2007. As his younger brother I was blessed to grow up with him and watch him skillfully work his way through numerous Jim Crow policies, educational barriers, adversity and police intimidation. (Excerpts from passages in the book) Chap. 5 During the 1930's 1201 was a land mark stop over point for family members migrating from the south. At one point I counted five families with twenty-three people living in our four bedroom home, I slept in the bathroom tub. While others slept on floor pallets. Chap.3 The highlight of our corner experience was the appearance of the local police. As they got closer to our group some one would yell "police" and we would scatter and hide. After passing us, some one would yell "all clear", and we would return. One day, Tom said we have not done anything wrong, why should we run every time we see a policeman? I'm not going to run anymore! Nervously, I sat with him. Chap. 1 When we were little guys, I remember Tom telling me "There is no Santa Claus." This is all a game, but I want my toys on Christmas Day. I said yes there is a Santa Claus, look at all the toys he brought us last year. Tom said; alright tell me how a group of reindeer can fly through the air with no engine power or wings? And how can Santa bring toys to all the kids on our block in his small sled, and how can a big fat Santa slide down our small chimney? We decided to wait up for Santa on Christmas Eve. Finally we say our parents placing toys under the tree for us. We knew then that our parents were Santa Claus. We still rejoiced on Christmas morning. I am pleased that my survival in life is attributed to the life goals that he set for himself, but I followed. His inner strength, tenacity, and visionary leadership were helpful to many people whose lives he touched. He was a courageous, remarkable man. James J. Ware Jr.
Download or read book Sophisticated Giant written by Maxine Gordon and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon was one of the major innovators of modern jazz. In a context of biography, history, and memoir, Maxine Gordon has completed the book that her late husband began, weaving his "solo" turns with her voice and a chorus of voices from past and present. She shows that his image of the cool jazzman fails to come to terms with the three-dimensional man full of humor and wisdom, a figure who struggled to reconcile being both a creative outsider who broke the rules and a comforting insider who was a son, father, husband, and world citizen. --
Download or read book Descendants of William Cromartie and Ruhamah Doane written by Amanda Cook Gilbert and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 795 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious work chronicles 250 years of the Cromartie Family genealogical history. Included in the index of nearly 50,000 names are the current generations, and all of those preceding, which trace ancestry to our family patriarch, William Cromartie who was born in 1731 in Orkney, Scotland and his second wife, Ruhamah Doane who was born in 1745. Arriving in America in 1758, William Cromartie settled and developed a plantation on South River, a tributary of the Cape Fear near Wilmington, North Carolina. On April 2, 1766, William married Ruhamah Doane, a fifth generation descendant of a Mayflower passenger to Plymouth, Stephen Hopkins. If Cromartie is your last name, or that of one of your blood relatives, it is almost certain that you can trace your ancestry to one of the thirteen children of William Cromartie, his first wife, and Ruhamah Doane, who became the founding ancestors of our Cromartie Family in America: William Jr, James, Thankful, Elizabeth, Hannah Ruhamah, Alexander, John, Margaret Nancy, Mary, Catherine, Jean, Peter Patrick, and Ann E. Cromartie. These four volumes hold an account of the descent of each of these first-generation Cromarties in America, including personal antidotes, photographs, copies of family Bibles, wills and other historical documents. Their pages hold a personal record of our ancestors and where you belong in the Cromartie Family Tree.
