Some individuals were players of the Negro League, Hall of Famers, and World Series players and others whose notable contribution was only being the first to integrate.

Download or read book Psychotherapy Behind a Razor Wire Fence written by Donald G. Myers and published by Trafford on Demand Pub. This book was released on 2002 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I started to put this material together I had several reasons in mind. First, I thought that I might be able to get it published since I was fortunate enough to have several technical books published in the past. Also, since my early retirement from th academic world I have felt a loss in my creative skills I used so often in the classroom. I missed many thing; being chairman of the psychology department and making decisions regarding programs and the direction of the University. I miss the spotlight of feeling important. I miss it all. The most important reason I sat down to write this book was my need to focus on family and tradition. By writing of my experiences, I hope that my family will read this and get a better understanding of who I am, or who I was. As I get older I realize I have very few memories of who my parents really were; their wants, desires, joys, satisfactions and accomplishments. I recall my mother being valedictorian of her highschool class, but never knew why she didn't go on with her education, or how the direction of her life was shaped, Why did my father stop attending school in the 6th grade? He was bright and capable. What were some of the goals in his life. What about my grandmother's and grandfather's? The sad part of it all is that I don't know and I will never know they all have passed on. By writing about some of the things that shaped my life as a person and as a professional, I hope that my family will have a better understanding of me, my successes and failures, my strengths, and shortcomings. A better look, should anyone desire, at the person I am or was. Reader Comment Two words stand out in my mind in reflecting on Dr. Myers book. The first word is "interesting." Of the books that I have read for the course (to date) this by far was the most interesting. That is, it kept my attention throughout the work and many times I found myself not wanting to put it down. I had responsibilities to which I needed to attend when reading the book, but I found myself telling people things like "I'll get to it in a few minutes I want to finish this chapter." Frankly, I was not sure what to expect when I began the first page, but as I got into it, the reading was just purely interesting. The second word that comes to my mind is "intriguing." To read about the events that Dr. Myers has experienced in his many decades of psychology service it was fascinating to me. He provided me with a much better understanding of the professor of the course I am taking (whom I have never met). I do, however, feel as though I "know" him now (at least to some degree or at some level). While some people's lives are relatively hum-drum; Dr. Myers professional life has been filled with rich experiences that seems to have made life rewarding and exciting for him. Two particular qualities stand out in my mind as I reflect on the book relative to Dr. Myers as a person. First, he seems to be an over-all kind-hearted person. That is, Dr. Myers seems to be a person who genuinely cares for the needs of others and is willing to extend himself in behalf of such people. I highly respect this and it probably is a quality which has made it possible for him to sustain such long-time service in working with such difficult populations of people. At the same time, however, I also have the sense that people would be wise not to "push" Dr. Myers or attempt to take advantage of him. That is, he seems to possess a strong "aggressive streak" about him and I believe Dr. Myers is capable of being vehement when necessary. In other words, if you want to be a nice guy, Dr. Myers is a nice guy also. But if you want to go toe-to-toe with him, you'll probably lose. He is sort of like a bear in the woods. My understanding is that be
