Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Colored Car, Jean Alicia Elster, author of the award-winning Who's Jim Hines?, follows another member of the Ford family coming of age in Depression-era Detroit. In the hot summer of 1937, twelve-year-old Patsy takes care of her three younger sisters and helps her mother put up fresh fruits and vegetables in the family's summer kitchen, adjacent to the wood yard that her father, Douglas Ford, owns. Times are tough, and Patsy's mother, May Ford, helps neighborhood families by sharing the food that she preserves. But May's decision to take a break from canning to take her daughters for a visit to their grandmother's home in Clarksville, Tennessee, sets in motion a series of events that prove to be life-changing for Patsy. After boarding the first-class train car at Michigan Central Station in Detroit and riding comfortably to Cincinnati, Patsy is shocked when her family is led from their seats to change cars. In the dirty, cramped "colored car," Patsy finds that the life she has known in Detroit is very different from life down south, and she can hardly get the experience out of her mind when she returns home-like the soot stain on her finely made dress or the smear on the quilt squares her grandmother taught her to sew. As summer wears on, Patsy must find a way to understand her experience in the colored car and also deal with the more subtle injustices that her family faces in Detroit. By the end of the story, Patsy will never see the world in the same way that she did before. Elster's engaging narrative illustrates the personal impact of segregation and discrimination and reveals powerful glimpses of everyday life in 1930s Detroit. For young readers interested in American history, The Colored Car is engrossing and informative reading.
Download or read book A Place Called the Colored Car written by Reginald F. Smith Sr. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Place Called the Colored Car tells the story of Sam, a bright, happy, 10-year-old boy and his epic train ride from Memphis, Tennessee to Chicago, Illinois in the mid-1950s. Sam was born and raised in Memphis, and lived with his mother, Ruth, his grandmother, Beth and his grandfather, Elijah. The racial injustices experienced on that trip were so horrible and so alarming that even through a child’s eyes can see, feel, hear, taste, smell and cry for what people had to endure simply because God blessed them with dark skin. We witness human beings being treated less than our worst imaginable nightmares. The book forces the question we should all ask: “How Could We?”

Download or read book AMC Muscle Cars written by Larry G. Mitchell and published by Motorbooks International. This book was released on 2000 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anybody who wanted to go toe to toe with the Big Three in the 1960s had to produce credible muscle cars. American Motors Corporation did exactly that with the SC Rambler and the incredibly fast AMX. Some argue, however, that AMC's insistence on pouring its relatively limited resources into the "muscle wars" ultimately led to its demise. Illustrated throughout with modern photography of restored and factory-original cars, archival images, AMC concept drawings, period advertisements, and cutaway illustrations, this color history primarily focuses on the conception, development, production, and performance of the AMX, as well as the Javelin upon which it was based. Special models like the Mark Donohue Signature Edition Javelin, along with the less-than-well-received Marlin, Rebel, SST, Hornet 360, Gremlin X, and others are also included.
