Download or read book Institutional Slavery written by Jennifer Oast and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional image of slavery begins with a master and a slave. However, not all slaves had traditional masters; some were owned instead by institutions, such as church congregations, schools, colleges, and businesses. This practice was pervasive in early Virginia; its educational, religious, and philanthropic institutions were literally built on the backs of slaves. Virginia's first industrial economy was also developed with the skilled labor of African American slaves. This book focuses on institutional slavery in Virginia as it was practiced by the Anglican and Presbyterian churches, free schools, and four universities: the College of William and Mary, Hampden-Sydney College, the University of Virginia, and Hollins College. It also examines the use of slave labor by businesses and the Commonwealth of Virginia in industrial endeavors. This is not only an account of how institutions used slavery to further their missions, but also of the slaves who belonged to institutions.

Download or read book Up From Slavery The Incredible Life Story of Booker T Washington written by Booker T. Washington and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-18 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Booker T. Washington's autobiographical work, 'Up From Slavery: The Incredible Life Story of Booker T. Washington,' is a compelling account of his journey from slavery to becoming one of the most influential African American leaders in American history. Written in a straightforward and persuasive tone, Washington's narrative provides a firsthand look at the harsh realities of slavery, as well as his determination to pursue education and uplift his race. The book reflects Washington's belief in vocational education as a means for African Americans to achieve economic independence and social equality, a philosophy that sparked debate within the Civil Rights movement. It also underscores the importance of self-reliance and hard work in overcoming adversity. Washington's engaging storytelling style, combined with his insightful reflections on race relations, make 'Up From Slavery' a valuable literary work and historical document. I recommend this book to readers interested in African American history, education, and the Civil Rights movement, as well as those seeking inspiration from a remarkable life story of resilience and perseverance.

Book excerpt: The extraordinary life of the woman behind the beloved children’s classics Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny comes alive in this fascinating biography of Margaret Wise Brown. Margaret’s books have sold millions of copies all over the world, but few people know that she was at the center of a children’s book publishing revolution. Her whimsy and imagination fueled a steady stream of stories, book ideas, songs, and poems and she was renowned for her prolific writing and business savvy, as well as her stunning beauty and endless thirst for adventure. Margaret started her writing career by helping to shape the curriculum for the Bank Street School for children, making it her mission to create stories that would rise above traditional fairy tales and allowed girls to see themselves as equal to boys. At the same time, she also experimented endlessly with her own writing. Margaret would spend days researching subjects, picking daisies, cloud gazing, and observing nature, all in an effort to precisely capture a child’s sense of awe and wonder as they discovered the world. Clever, quirky, and incredibly talented, Margaret embraced life with passion, lived extravagantly off of her royalties, went on rabbit hunts, and carried on long and troubled love affairs with both men and women. Among them were two great loves in Margaret’s life. One was a gender-bending poet and the ex-wife of John Barrymore. She went by the stage name of Michael Strange and she and Margaret had a tempestuous yet secret relationship, at one point living next door to each other so that they could be together. After the dissolution of their relationship and Michael’s death, Margaret became engaged to a younger man, who also happened to be the son of a Rockefeller and a Carnegie. But before they could marry Margaret died unexpectedly at the age of forty-two, leaving behind a cache of unpublished work and a timeless collection of books that would go on become classics in children’s literature. In In the Great Green Room, author Amy Gary captures the eccentric and exceptional life of Margaret Wise Brown, and drawing on newly-discovered personal letters and diaries, reveals an intimate portrait of a creative genius whose unrivaled talent breathed new life in to the literary world.
