Download or read book How the Word Is Passed written by Clint Smith and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “important and timely” (Drew Faust, Harvard Magazine) #1 New York Times bestseller examines the legacy of slavery in America—and how both history and memory continue to shape our everyday lives. Beginning in his hometown of New Orleans, Clint Smith leads the reader on an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks—those that are honest about the past and those that are not—that offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping our nation's collective history, and ourselves. It is the story of the Monticello Plantation in Virginia, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving more than four hundred people. It is the story of the Whitney Plantation, one of the only former plantations devoted to preserving the experience of the enslaved people whose lives and work sustained it. It is the story of Angola, a former plantation-turned-maximum-security prison in Louisiana that is filled with Black men who work across the 18,000-acre land for virtually no pay. And it is the story of Blandford Cemetery, the final resting place of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers. A deeply researched and transporting exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history, How the Word Is Passed illustrates how some of our country's most essential stories are hidden in plain view—whether in places we might drive by on our way to work, holidays such as Juneteenth, or entire neighborhoods like downtown Manhattan, where the brutal history of the trade in enslaved men, women, and children has been deeply imprinted. Informed by scholarship and brought to life by the story of people living today, Smith's debut work of nonfiction is a landmark of reflection and insight that offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of our country and how it has come to be.

Download or read book Santa Clara California Community Center Commercial Solar Demonstration Progress Report written by W. Niemeyer and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Santa Clara Community Center is a 27,000 sq. ft one-story building set in a Mediterranean climate. The peak summer cooling load for the building is estimated to be 5.9 x 106 Btu/day and is roughly twice the estimated peak winter heating load. The solar-driven hydronic system includes 7085 sq. ft of double-glazed flat plate collectors with a selective coating, two 25-ton ARKLA absorption chillers, a 50,000 gallon stratified cold storage tank and a 10,000 gallon hot storage tank. A gas-fired boiler is used for backup. A minicomputer controlled data acquisition system has been providing operational data including detailed energy balances since April 1977. Detailed results for the period of April 1977 to September 1978 are presented. The solar heating and cooling system has performed successfully and dependably during its first two years of operation. Solar collector and absorption chiller performance is lower than expected. System performance during the summer seasons is about the same as predicted giving a solar fraction of load of 0.65. Performance during the winter season is much lower than predicted with a solar fraction of load of 0.40 compared to a predicted value of 0.80. Fossil fuel energy consumption of the system is greater than the estimated consumption of the original non-solar design during some months of the summer season. On an annual basis there is a net savings of fossil energy of about 8 percent.

Download or read book Oak Creek written by Jim Cech and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1830s, U.S. officials forced the Menomonee and Potawatomi Indians to give up their lands in present-day Milwaukee County. Men from England and the eastern United States purchased large tracts of land along Lake Michigan from the government. Settlers like John Fowle, George Cobb, and Luther Rawson brought families to southeastern Wisconsin and helped establish the town of Oak Creek. For more than 100 years, Oak Creek retained its township status and rural character. But in 1955, Milwaukee city leaders attempted to annex Oak Creek's land and collect income tax revenue from a recently completed power plant. The small town won a legendary incorporation battle with their powerful northern neighbor, setting a precedent that also saved Franklin and Greenfield from being absorbed by Milwaukee.
