Download or read book Mickey and Willie written by Allen Barra and published by Crown. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed sportswriter Allen Barra exposes the uncanny parallels--and lifelong friendship--between two of the greatest baseball players ever to take the field. Culturally, Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays were light-years apart. Yet they were nearly the same age and almost the same size, and they came to New York at the same time. They possessed virtually the same talents and played the same position. They were both products of generations of baseball-playing families, for whom the game was the only escape from a lifetime of brutal manual labor. Both were nearly crushed by the weight of the outsized expectations placed on them, first by their families and later by America. Both lived secret lives far different from those their fans knew. What their fans also didn't know was that the two men shared a close personal friendship--and that each was the only man who could truly understand the other's experience.

Download or read book Deep South Dispatch written by John N. Herbers and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2018-04-12 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Former New York Times correspondent John N. Herbers (1923-2017), who covered the civil rights movement for more than a decade, has produced Deep South Dispatch: Memoir of a Civil Rights Journalist, a compelling story of national and historical significance. Born in the South during a time of entrenched racial segregation, Herbers witnessed a succession of landmark civil rights uprisings that rocked the country, the world, and his own conscience. Herbers's retrospective is a timely and critical illumination on America's current racial dilemmas and ongoing quest for justice. Herbers's reporting began in 1951, when he covered the brutal execution of Willie McGee, a black man convicted for the rape of a white housewife, and the 1955 trial for the murder of Emmett Till, a black teenager killed for allegedly whistling at a white woman. With immediacy and first-hand detail, Herbers describes the assassination of John F. Kennedy; the death of four black girls in the Birmingham, Alabama, church bombing; extensive travels and interviews with Martin Luther King Jr.; Ku Klux Klan cross-burning rallies and private meetings; the Freedom Summer murders in Philadelphia, Mississippi; and marches and riots in St. Augustine, Florida, and Selma, Alabama, that led to passage of national civil rights legislation. This account is also a personal journey as Herbers witnessed the movement with the conflicted eyes of a man dedicated to his southern heritage but who also rejected the prescribed laws and mores of a prejudiced society. His story provides a complex understanding of how the southern status quo, in which the white establishment benefited at the expense of African Americans, was transformed by a national outcry for justice.

Download or read book Rayben written by Charles W. Leewright and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "They had stood in the chilling darkness of the cornfield and watched their home crumble to ashes. All their possessions lay in bed-sheet bundles at their feet. They stood like silent statues, yet from time to time, one of them lifted a hand to quickly and discretely brush away a tear." Clarence Rayben lost his son to the war, and now bushwhackers are coming for his home. Clarence; his wife, Anna; and teen-age daughter, Willie, walk through a snowstorm in the rugged mountains of Northwestern Arkansas, carrying a few salvaged belongings on their backs. Rayben is a strong, uneducated man who usually depends on his strength to solve his problems, but now, physical strength is not enough. Anna is small and has little strength to offer, but her faith in God gives peace and contentment to her family as they endure the tragedya "until her frail body is overtaken with sickness. It is up to Rayben to find a safe haven for his daughter and ill wife in the war-torn South before it's too late. "Rayben" is an epic tale of one family's struggle to remain apart from the war, piecing together a life in between death, loss, violence, and tragedy. Rayben's greatest wish is to grant his family happiness and peace through exacting vengeance on the man responsible for turning his home to ashes. But as his prospects start improving, can he release his mental anguish and embrace a new life? Or will his rage be responsible for turning what's left of his family to ashes?"
