Download or read book Looking Around the Teen Age Set written by Robin Bourne Mowbray and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a whimsical dive back into the 70's with this book, "Looking Around the Teenage Set" written by an 18 year old. You can almost hear Marvin Gaye singing "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" and Al Green crooning "Let's Stay Together." The red-hot Embers, Chicago, Santana and the Temptations released wave after wave of fabulous music. The town was Rocky Mount, North Carolina, but it could have been anywhere USA. Vietnam, college deferments, and President Richard Nixon soon to be destroyed by Watergate cast shadows of darkness onto the historical backdrop. The enthusiasm and innocence of a sparkling generation determined to change the world were in sharp contrast to the political woes surrounding them. The year before the book begins, Rocky Mount Senior High's Blackbirds had just integrated with Booker T Washington's Lions, ending the school days of segregation. The two high schools combined forces to create the mighty Gryphon, a mythological creature which is half lion, half bird. Take a gentle walk along memory lane back into 1970-71, a nostalgic time filled with friendships, optimism and humor. Reconnect to the high school days of yore.
Download or read book The Making Of A Wonderful Life written by Cherie Y. Mullins and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cherie Y. Mullins is the wife of Evangelist Roger Mullins. She is the daughter of the late Leo and Beverly Forse, of Binghamton, NY. As she grew up, they were members of the well-known Lit-tle White Church of Conklin, NY. Her family and church foundations play a tremendous role in her life of ministry with her husband today. As a couple, they have served the Lord faithfully in full-time evangelism, Christian music, and missionary work since 1969. They reside in McDonough, GA and are members of Glen Haven Baptist Church. She studied piano from first grade through high school and continues using her musical talent today. During their years on the road, she sang and played the piano as "Mama" in The Mullins Family as they traveled America in evangelism and gos-pel music from 1978 1994. Her family has recorded forty music projects which include a piano solo CD by Cherie. To-day, she works daily in the office of Hope for the World Albania with her husband, Roger and their daughter, Cindy. Since 1994, they have been ministering to thousands of orphan children of Albania, hundreds of senior citizens and the handicapped through Hope for the World as Directors of this ministry. This book is her third in a series under the title of "The Making of a Wonderful Life" . The first was subtitled "Recording Reflections" and specifically pertained to two of the family's recording projects produced in the 90's. Her second book was subtitled "Family Foundations" and covered Cherie's childhood days through the beginning of Bible College for her husband. This book, subti-tled Joyous Journey takes you through their lives from 1970 1994 in which they were involved full-time as a family in church ministry, evangelism and gospel music. Cherie believes she has one more book to write which will portray their years since 1994 in the field of foreign mission work in the country of Albania with Hope for the World. They have fo-cused on assisting orphans, widows, and handicapped and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. She believes that book will be subtitled "Mission Memoirs", or something very similar. She hopes to have that one published within a couple of years. It is her desire that as you read this book, you will get to know her family personally and understand all that went into The Making of "their" Won-derful Life through this volume subtitled "Joyous Journey".
Download or read book Professing Selves written by Afsaneh Najmabadi and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-1980s, the Islamic Republic of Iran has permitted, and partially subsidized, sex reassignment surgery. In Professing Selves, Afsaneh Najmabadi explores the meaning of transsexuality in contemporary Iran. Combining historical and ethnographic research, she describes how, in the postrevolutionary era, the domains of law, psychology and psychiatry, Islamic jurisprudence, and biomedicine became invested in distinguishing between the acceptable "true" transsexual and other categories of identification, notably the "true" homosexual, an unacceptable category of existence in Iran. Najmabadi argues that this collaboration among medical authorities, specialized clerics, and state officials—which made transsexuality a legally tolerated, if not exactly celebrated, category of being—grew out of Iran's particular experience of Islamicized modernity. Paradoxically, state regulation has produced new spaces for non-normative living in Iran, since determining who is genuinely "trans" depends largely on the stories that people choose to tell, on the selves that they profess.
Download or read book Many Excellent People written by Paul D. Escott and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-12-30 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Excellent People examines the nature of North Carolina's social system, particularly race and class relations, power, and inequality, during the last half of the nineteenth century. Paul Escott portrays North Carolina's major social groups, focusing on the elite, the ordinary white farmers or workers, and the blacks, and analyzes their attitudes, social structure, and power relationships. Quoting frequently from a remarkable array of letters, journals, diaries, and other primary sources, he shows vividly the impact of the Civil War, Emancipation, Reconstruction, Populism, and the rise of the New South industrialism on southern society. Working within the new social history and using detailed analyses of five representative counties, wartime violence, Ku Klux Klan membership, stock-law legislation, and textile mill records, Escott reaches telling conclusions on the interplay of race, class, and politics. Despite fundamental political and economic reforms, Escott argues, North Carolina's social system remained as hierarchical and undemocratic in 1900 as it had been in 1850.
