Download or read book Jackson Mississippi written by John R. Salter and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the gripping story of the civil rights movement in Jackson, Mississippi, told by one of its foremost activists, John R. Salter Jr. In 1961 Salter, then a teacher at Tougaloo Southern Christian College, the private and almost entirely African American school just north of the state capital, became the adult advisor of the North Jackson NAACP Youth Council, a post that for lifelong activist Salter blossomed into impassioned involvement in the Jackson movement. The struggle for civil rights featured some of the bloodiest resistance by a panoply of repressive resources—“lawmen,” hoodlums, politicians, and vigilantes—but also introduced Salter to the movement’s most compelling and important figures, including NAACP field secretary Medgar Evers. Jackson, Mississippi tells the riveting story of their campaigns to abolish Jim Crow, including a committed and courageous economic boycott of Jackson that was instrumental in the desegregation of the capital’s business district. A fierce and passionate retelling of frontline stories from a cultural revolution, Jackson, Mississippi is a vivid snapshot of the Deep South in the 1960s and a testament to the brilliant, dangerous, and historic actions of the civil rights activists there.

Download or read book Rosa Parks written by Kathleen Tracy and published by Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a young African-American seamstress named Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus to a white passenger, she turned the smoldering civil rights movement into a firestorm. For years, blacks in the South had seen their civil liberties stolen through segregation laws that demanded the races be kept separate but equal—except there was no equality in it. Parks’s arrest was chosen to challenge the constitutionality of Montgomery’s bus segregation laws. Soft-spoken and unassuming, Rosa Parks was an unlikely activist. But her sense of justice inspired her to speak out against racism and injustice, regardless of the personal price it exacted. In the process, she became an enduring symbol of the power of an individual to change the course of history.

Download or read book Democrat Elementary School written by Stew Pidschitz and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After hearing the progressive liberals on the left described so often to be "acting like children," I decided to turn them into the very children they were behaving as. Placing these "kids" where they belong-an elementary school-the leaders of America seem to be right at home in the classroom, dealing with the problems of the day while, unfortunately for us, making them worse. Attempting to turn an American tragedy into an American comedy, as it is better to laugh than to cry, was my way of coping with these infantile thinkers as I watched in horror and, in real time, the internal assault on the United States. These writings cover the second term of the Barack Obama administration whom the American people, unbelievably, gave a mulligan to following his disastrous first term. The cancerous ideology of the modern-day left turned President Obama-a man many thought could unite the country-into someone who divided it instead by splitting Americans into categories (black, white, rich, poor, etc.) to be toyed with, as a cat might toy with a mouse. Children have long been considered a blessing, but there is also an old adage that goes, "Children should be seen and not heard." Never has that been more evident than when we listen in to the hypocritical childlike politicians spewing their daily venom from behind the private walls-paid for entirely by America and most certainly not Mexico-of what I call Democrat Elementary School. And although these walls are paid for, America will be paying for the decisions made behind them for years to come.

Download or read book Lost in a Good Book written by Jasper Fforde and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-02-24 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of The Constant Rabbit comes “Harry Potter just for adults . . . [an] immensely enjoyable, almost compulsive experience” (The New York Times Book Review)—the second novel in the renowned Thursday Next series. “[Lost in a Good Book] is satire, fantasy, literary criticism, thriller, whodunit, game, puzzle, joke, postmodern prank, and tilt-a-whirl.”—The Washington Post If resourceful, fearless literary detective Thursday Next thought she could avoid the spotlight after her heroic escapades in the pages of Jane Eyre, she was sorely mistaken. Her adventures as a renowned Special Operative in literary detection have left Thursday Next yearning for a rest. But when the love of her life is eradicated by the corrupt multinational Goliath Corporation, Thursday must bite the bullet and moonlight as a Prose Resource Operative in the secret world of Jurisfiction, the police force inside the books. There she is apprenticed to Miss Havisham, the famous man-hater from Dickens’s Great Expectations, who teaches her to book-jump like a pro. If Thursday retrieves a supposedly vanquished enemy from the pages of Poe’s “The Raven,” she thinks Goliath might return her lost love, Landen. But her latest mission is endlessly complicated. Not only are there side trips into the works of Kafka and Austen, and even Beatrix Potter’s The Tale of Flopsy Bunnies, Thursday finds herself the target of a series of potentially lethal coincidences, the authenticator of a newly discovered play by the Bard himself, and the only one who can prevent an unidentifiable pink sludge from engulfing all life on Earth. Don’t miss any of Jasper Fforde’s delightfully entertaining Thursday Next novels: THE EYRE AFFAIR • LOST IN A GOOD BOOK • THE WELL OF LOST PLOTS • SOMETHING ROTTEN • FIRST AMONG SEQUELS • ONE OF OUR THURSDAYS IS MISSING • THE WOMAN WHO DIED A LOT
