Download or read book There When We Needed Him written by Judith Kilpatrick and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2007-09 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall said of Wiley Austin Branton that he “devoted his entire life to fighting for his own people.” There When We Needed Him is the story of that fight, which began with Branton's being one of the first black students at the University of Arkansas Law School and which took him to the highest levels of business and government. From his private law practice in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Branton became, along with Marshall, counsel for the Little Rock Nine in their 1957 efforts to integrate Central High School. Under his leadership of the Atlanta-based Voter Education Project, more than six hundred thousand black voters were registered from 1962 to 1965. He later became executive secretary of President Lyndon Johnson's Council on Equal Opportunity and special assistant to attorneys general Nicholas Katzenbach and Ramsey Clark. He provided leadership to the United Planning Organization, the Alliance for Labor Action, and the NAACP; and he was dean of Howard University Law School. At Branton’s funeral in 1988, former Arkansas senator David Pryor described him as “quiet and unassuming. . . . It is his humility and desire to always put the goals of the civil rights movement before self which probably accounts for the fact that [he] was not more famous than he was.” The influence of this quiet and unassuming man continues to be felt decades later.

Book excerpt: Brooklyn I learned early in life to build walls around my heart. After my mother died. Before my father went to jail. “I’d give anything to make sure the people I love know it…” So when my boss hires a tall, tattooed Irishman to work alongside me, I vow to keep things professional. Especially when I find out he’s a widower. But when my violent past threatens my future, I find myself closer to Declan than I planned to be. “...you want to sleep in my bed?” The walls around my heart are high… but the arms around my body are strong. And I’ve convinced myself he can save me from the coming storm. Declan I escaped New York for Tennessee to have a clean slate. From my vices. From my ghosts... But my new boss has the kind of eyes you can’t look away from. And the kind of laugh that threatens to pull you from the dark. “It’s just chemical, what you’re feeling right now…” I tell myself I’m just being a good friend when I let her stay in my room. But the lies we tell ourselves are the hardest to overcome. “I thought I knew what it was like to be haunted by someone. I was wrong. I don’t know shit…” My attempt at starting over has led me to my greatest fear. Love can never make me weak again. And I can’t fall for a girl who looks like the sun when I’m the goddamn storm.
