Download or read book Freedom Walkers written by Russell Freedman and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2009-02-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting account of the civil rights boycott that changed history by the foremost author of history for young people. Now a classic, Freedman’s book tells the dramatic stories of the heroes who stood up against segregation and Jim Crow laws in 1950s Alabama. Full of eyewitness reports, iconic photographs from the era, and crucial primary sources, this work brings history to life for modern readers. This engaging look at one of the best-known events of the American Civil Rights Movement feels immediate and relevant, reminding readers that the Boycott is not distant history, but one step in a fight for equality that continues today. Freedman focuses not only on well-known figures like Claudette Colvin, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King Jr., but on the numerous people who contributed by organizing carpools, joining protests, supporting legal defense efforts, and more. He showcases an often-overlooked side of activism and protest-- the importance of cooperation and engagement, and the ways in which ordinary people can stand up for their beliefs and bring about meaningful change in the world around them. Freedom Walkers has long been a library and classroom staple, but as interest in the history of protest and the Civil Rights Movement grows, it’s a perfect introduction for anyone looking to learn more about the past-- and an inspiration to take action and shape the future. Recipient of an Orbis Pictus Honor, the Flora Stieglitz Straus Award, and the Jane Addams Peace Association Honor Book Award, Freedom Walkers received five starred reviews. A map, source notes, full bibliography, and other backmatter is included.

Download or read book Ann Walker written by Rebecca Batley and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2023-02-22 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lesbian. Lover. Lunatic. These are just some of the words usually used to describe Ann Walker, the oft overlooked wife of Anne Lister, better known by some as Gentleman Jack. Ann was one half of England’s first same-sex marriage and yet the rainbow plaque that marks their historic union on the wall of the Holy Trinity Church, York, features Ann’s name in a font only half the size of her wife’s. Her story has been long forgotten. Born into wealth and privilege Ann was one of the most eligible heiresses in 19th century Yorkshire and the question on everyone’s lips in 1830’s Halifax was why a respectable young heiress, with property, fortune and connection risked everything, even her freedom, to become entangled with the notorious Gentleman Jack? The answer to this question reveals a woman of immense courage, faith, and determination, but her voice has remained silent...until now. Within the depths of Ann’s diary - discovered by Diane Halford in 2020 - the answers to some of the above questions can be found, as can insight into Ann as an independent woman. The life of Ann is worthy of its own narrative and it is time for Ann to step out of the shadow of Gentleman Jack and tell her own story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HOW DID THIS BOOK COME ABOUT? About ten years ago I sustained a series of downward turns during which I lost everything I considered vital to my existence. In the end, I came to realize, what Id really lost was me. So I began to write daily journals to help myself heal. Early in my recovery, I had a dream about two celestial creatures, Beast and Priest, who decided to play The Game to decide which of them would control all mens souls, including my own. Never did I imagine those first few sentences I wrote in my journal the morning after my dream would result in a two volume book which documented the journey of a tortured soul named Kat Walker into the Great Abyss and beyond. When his courage proved to all his heart was pure again, he got one last chance at life. Kat Walker and I completed this book together to prove to all who enter its pages there is always hope if you believe in the power of love and that miracles are real.

Download or read book Robert Walker Haulage Ltd The History of the UK s Largest Fork Truck Transport Company written by Carl Jarman and published by Fox Chapel Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of Robert Walker Haulage. Established in 1935, Robert Walker never intended to run a haulage business; he initially bought a lorry to carry the produce from his market garden to the local markets. He then branched out into other types of transport work including carrying prisoners of war! Later, his forward thinking sons Brian and Eric saw a niche market in the transport of fork lift trucks and decided to try converting an old R.A.F. trailer into an early fork lift truck carrier. Today the company is in the hands of the third and fourth generations of the family and despite its humble beginnings, it is now the largest fork truck transporter in the UK. The book details the history of the company's success including anecdotes from people that have worked for or with the company over the years. It details how Walkers carried Donald Campbell's Bluebird around on his exhibition tour of 1965 after setting his land speed records between 1955 and 1964, and shows how ERF played a major role in the expansion of the fork truck transport business. Including 229 previously un-printed pictures of the four wheel basic lorries that Robert used in the early days, to the latest vehicles operated by this specialist haulier, this book will be of interest to truck drivers and other transport enthusiasts.
