Being the only daughter and a pastor’s daughter is the reason why she’s spoiled and of course, her father has money. Pastor Woods is the head of City Hope Church located in Los Angeles, California. Kimberly feels that she’s at the age in which it’s time for her to settle down with a man who she can see herself with for the rest of her life—her husband. She’s been involved with plenty of men, but they were only interested in her because of her title and wealth. One day, she comes across a man named Shea who is the complete opposite of what she’s used to. He doesn’t go to church and isn’t a fan of her nor her father. He actually thinks that people who go to church are hypocrites. Kimberly truly believes that Shea is “the one,” simply because he’s not like the men in her past. He’s a challenge, which is one of the many reasons why she’s attracted to him. Will Pastor Woods get in the middle of Kim and Shea’s relationship? Will their relationship succeed or will it fail due to both of their different lifestyles? Does the preacher’s daughter have another side of her that she doesn’t want anyone to know about?

Download or read book Hoodlum Movies written by Peter Stanfield and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-13 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From The Wild Angels in 1966 until its conclusion in 1972, the cycle of outlaw motorcycle films contained forty-odd formulaic examples. All but one were made by independent companies that specialized in producing exploitation movies for drive-ins, neighborhood theaters, and rundown inner city theaters. Despised by critics, but welcomed by exhibitors denied first-run films, these cheaply and quickly produced movies were made to appeal to audiences of mobile youths. The films are repetitive, formulaic, and eminently forgettable, but there is a story to tell about all of the above, and it is one worth hearing. Hoodlum Movies is not only about the films, its focus is on why and how these films were made, who they were made for, and how the cycle developed through the second half of the 1960s and came to a shuddering halt in 1972.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has the Black race been ostracized into a purgatory world where it is neither free nor enslaved and where the landscape looks remarkably like the Old Plantation? Dr. Claud Anderson, former Assistant Secretary of Commerce, says: “Black folks in proportional comparative terms are regressing. Blacks have been socially engineered into the lowest levels of life... and are now more hated than at any time in the last 50 years.” Dr. Anderson does not come right out and say that Blacks are still stationed near the Old Plantation, but he comes awfully close... The road that has led the Black race to this perilous moment in time leads us back to a host of villains. The White ones we all know about, the Black ones, Negroes, who prey on their fellow Black sufferers, we conveniently choose to forget about—those House Negroes, that Malcolm X warned us about? This book will name and shame... the Plantation Negroes of the 21st Century.

Download or read book Car Crazy written by G. Wayne Miller and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the "Big Three," even before the Model T, the race for dominance in the American car market was fierce, fast, and sometimes farcical. Car Crazy takes readers back to the passionate and reckless years of the early automobile era, from 1893, when the first US-built auto was introduced, through 1908, when General Motors was founded and Ford's Model T went on the market. The motorcar was new, paved roads few, and devotees of this exciting and unregulated technology battled with citizens who considered the car a dangerous scourge, wrought by the wealthy, that was shattering a more peaceful way of life. Among the pioneering competitors were Ransom E. Olds, founder of Olds Motor Works and creator of a new company called REO; Olds' cutthroat new CEO Frederic L. Smith; William C. "Billy" Durant of Buick Motor Company (and soon General Motors); and inventor Henry Ford. They shared a passion for innovation, both mechanical and entrepreneurial, but their maniacal pursuit of market share would also involve legal manipulation, vicious smear campaigns, and zany publicity stunts -- including a wild transcontinental car race that transfixed the public. Their war on wheels ultimately culminated in a courtroom battle that would shape the American car industry forever. Based on extensive original research, Car Crazy is a page-turning story of popular culture, business, and sport at the dawn of the twentieth century, filled with compelling, larger-than-life characters, each an American original.
