Book excerpt: Since the Tulsa race riots of 1921, the black male and education have been going in opposite directions. In a society that's stacked up against them, many black males have fallen victim to the realities of discrimination, racism, and the inability to provide for their families. Survival has taken priority over the value of education to the extent of high-risk behavior and the shattering of dreams of stardom in the entertainment and sporting industries.The efforts to save black boys in America has been the goal of many people and organizations. Unfortunately, the limited amount of viable men to carry out such a task, has left the doors open for other non-productive activities like gang wars, the distribution of narcotics, and the usage of illegal and harmful drugs and alcohol to filter into the lives of these young men and their counterparts. The education that has been given to help save these black boys have shown to be of little or no use when it comes to the academic gains of these young men. A more culturally relevant approach seems to be an alternative way to reach the brilliant minds that our black boys possess and by doing so, we will be able to attract the genius that lies within them. The Gentleman in the Grey Suit is an informative, educational, & motivating tale about the most sought-after secret society of black men called "The Guild". More revered than all fraternal and social organizations, these men have been in hiding for over 100 years, operating within a transparent reserve located in the central west region of present-day South Dakota. These men, who have been charged with preventing the extinction of black men in this country, believe that they have found the savior of the black male species. Aaron, the main character, is a product of a single parent home. Like many other black boys his age, his father was not involved in his life and he had to navigate his manhood through what he saw and what he thought it should be. In this tale, Aaron is on the brink of death when he has the most enlightening moment of his life. He realizes that all of the solutions to the plight of all black men was right in front of him. He brings this information back to The Guild and exports this revelation to all of the urban cities of America. From St. Louis to Baltimore, Chicago to Memphis, and all places in between, enlightenment changes funerals into graduations and replaces guns with books. The end result being the biggest educational uprising in the history of this country. After reading this novel, you will never be able to look at a black man in a grey suit the same again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winch has written the first full-length biography of James Forten, a hero of African American history and one of the most remarkable men in 19th-century America. Born into a free black family in 1766, Forten served in the Revolutionary War as a teenager. By 1810 he had earned the distinction of being the leading sailmaker in Philadelphia. Soon after Forten emerged as a leader in Philadelphia's black community and was active in a wide range of reform activities. Especially prominent in national and international antislavery movements, he served as vice-president of the American Anti-Slavery Society and became close friends with William Lloyd Garrison to whom he lent money to start up the Liberator. His family were all active abolitionists and a granddaughter, Charlotte Forten, published a famous diary of her experiences teaching ex-slaves in South Carolina's Sea Islands during the Civil War. This is the first serious biography of Forten, who stands beside Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, and Martin Luther King, Jr., in the pantheon of African Americans who fundamentally shaped American history.

Download or read book Master Thieves written by Stephen Kurkjian and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive story of the greatest art theft in history. In a secret meeting in 1981, a low-level Boston thief gave career gangster Ralph Rossetti the tip of a lifetime: the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum was a big score waiting to happen. Though its collections included priceless artworks by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Degas, and others, its security was cheap, mismanaged, and out of date. And now, it seemed, the whole Boston criminal underworld knew it. Nearly a decade passed before the Museum was finally hit. But when it finally happened, the theft quickly became one of the most infamous art heists in history: thirteen works of art valued at up to 500 million, by some of the most famous artists in the world, were taken. The Boston FBI took control of the investigation, but twenty-five years later the case is still unsolved and the artwork is still missing. Stephen Kurkjian, one of the top investigative reporters in the country, has been working this case for over nearly twenty years. In Master Thieves, he sheds new light on some of the Gardner's most abiding mysteries. Why would someone steal these paintings, only to leave them hidden for twenty-five years? And why, if one of the top crime bosses in the city knew about this score in 1981, did the theft happen in 1990? What happened in those intervening years? And what might all this have to do with Boston's notorious gang wars of the 1980s? Kurkjian's reporting is already responsible for some of the biggest breaks in this story, including a meticulous reconstruction of what happened at the Museum that fateful night. Now Master Thieves will reveal the identities of those he believes plotted the heist, the motive for the crime, and the details that the FBI has refused to discuss. Taking you on a journey deep into the gangs of Boston, Kurkjian emerges with the most complete and compelling version of this story ever told.
Download or read book The Gentleman from Ohio written by Louis Stokes and published by Trillium. This book was released on 2016 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louis Stokes was a giant in Ohio politics and one of the most significant figures in the U.S. Congress in recent times. When he arrived in the House of Representatives as a freshman in 1969, there were only six African Americans serving. By the time he retired thirty years later, he had chaired the House Special Committee on the Kennedy and King assassinations, the House Ethics Committee during Abscam, and the House Intelligence Committee during Iran-Contra; he was also a senior member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee. Prior to Louis Stokes's tenure in Congress he served for many years as a criminal defense lawyer and chairman of the Cleveland NAACP Legal Redress Committee. Among the Supreme Court Cases he argued, the Terry "Stop and Frisk" case is regarded as one of the twenty-five most significant cases in the court's history. The Gentleman from Ohio chronicles this and other momentous events in the life and legacy of Ohio's first black representative--a man who, whether in law or politics, continually fought for the principles he believed in and helped lead the way for African Americans in the world of mainstream American politics.
