Many of us have been trained to think of spirituality as the sole provenance of religion; and if we have…

intentions, all dedicated to facilitating racial healing and transformation. People of color, relative to white people, fall on the negative side of virtually all measurable social indicators.

AdultThe three Cs that made America great: Christianity, capitalism and the Constitution
Par Mike Huckabee. 2020
"Forces on the Left seek to fundamentally change our nation by disregarding the principles upon which it was founded. Members…
of the media and liberal politicians seek to damage our economic, political, and educational systems for their gain. The Three Cs That Made America Great: Christianity, Capitalism, and the Constitution exposes the Left's plan to undermine the Christian values on which the nation was built; reveals how attacks on Christianity are part of the political agenda of Liberals; provides a clear understanding of capitalism and how free markets benefit all people; reveals how Liberals undermine capitalism with their socialistic policies; shows how the Constitution's purpose is to restrain government and protect individual liberty; unmasks the efforts of the liberal Left to subvert the power and relevance of the Constitution; exposes the current corruption in government and culture which undermines the principles on which the nation was founded. America faces a war of values that will determine its future and likely decide if it will continue as a great nation on the world stage. Mike Huckabee and Steve Feazel sound a needed alarm to Christians and conservatives to answer the call to action and push back against the forces that desire to move America from its heritage and founding principles. It is time for God's people to take an active role in the political arena, not with violence, but with votes and voices that proclaim and defend the values that made our nation the brightest light of freedom the world has ever known." -- AmazonCherokee Bill: Black cowboy--Indian outlaw
Par Art Burton. 2020
"Once upon a time in the late nineteenth century, there was an outlaw that captured the imagination of the American…
public like no other. He can be compared to John Dillinger or Pretty Boy Floyd of the 1930s. Like both of these men, he garnered national press for his exploits; the well-known New York Times had a running commentary on his actions and deeds. This outlaw's name was Crawford Goldsby, better known as Cherokee Bill. Cherokee Bill was every bit as colorful and outrageous as any criminal of the western frontier, perhaps even more so. There were a few things about him that made him truly unique for a famous desperado of the purple sage. First and foremost, he was an African American living in the Indian Territory. He was also Native American, Bill was a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, as a freedman, from his mother's lineage. Compare Cherokee Bill to Billy the Kid, (Billy Antrim), of New Mexico Territory fame. Although both outlaws received national media attention for their crimes while they were living, Billy the Kid was remembered and immortalized in books and films in the twentieth century; this did not occur for Cherokee Bill. Art Burton's newest book will help change that." -- Provided by publisherFormidable: American women and the fight for equality: 1920-2020
Par Elisabeth Griffith. 2022
"The Nineteenth Amendment was an incomplete victory. Black and white women fought hard for voting rights and doubled the number…
of eligible voters, but the amendment did not enfranchise all women, or even protect the rights of those women who could vote. A century later, women are still grappling with how to use the vote and their political power to expand civil rights, confront racial violence, improve maternal health, advance educational and employment opportunities, and secure reproductive rights. Formidable chronicles the efforts of white and Black women to advance sometimes competing causes. Black women wanted the rights enjoyed by whites. They wanted to protect their communities from racial violence and discrimination. Theirs was not only a women's movement. White women wanted to be equal to white men. They sought equal legal rights, political power, safeguards for working women and immigrants, and an end to confining social structures. There were also many white women who opposed any advance for any women. In this riveting narrative, Dr. Elisabeth Griffith integrates the fight by white and Black women to achieve equality. Previously their parallel struggles for social justice have been presented separately-as white or Black topics-or covered narrowly, through only certain individuals, decades, or incidents. Formidable provides a sweeping, century-long perspective, and an expansive cast of change agents. From feminists and civil rights activists to politicians and social justice advocates, from working class women to mothers and homemakers, from radicals and conservatives to those who were offended by feminism, threatened by social change, or convinced of white supremacy, the diversity of the women's movement mirrors America. After that landmark victory in 1920, suffragists had a sense of optimism, declaring, "Now we can begin!" By 2020, a new generation knew how hard the fight for incremental change was; they would have to begin again. Both engaging and outraging, Formidable will propel readers to continue their foremothers' fights to achieve equality for all." -- Provided by publisherThe spiritual nature of animals: a country vet explores the wisdom, compassion, and souls of animals

Par Francisco Goldman. 2020
"Bishop Juan Gerardi, Guatemala's leading human rights activist, was bludgeoned to death in his garage on a Sunday night in…
1998, two days after the presentation of a groundbreaking church-sponsored report implicating the military in the murders and disappearances of some two hundred thousand civilians. Realizing that it could not rely on police investigators or the legal system to solve the murder, the church formed its own investigative team, a group of secular young men in their twenties who called themselves Los Intocables (The Untouchables). Known in Guatemala as "The Crime of the Century," the Bishop Gerardi murder case, with its unexpectedly outlandish scenarios and sensational developments, confounded observers and generated extraordinary controversy. In his first nonfiction book, acclaimed novelist Francisco Goldman has spoken to witnesses no other reporter has reached, and observed firsthand some of the most crucial developments in the case. Now he has produced "The Art of Political Murder," a tense and astonishing true detective story that opens a window on the new Latin American reality of mara youth gangs and organized crime, and tells the story of a remarkable group of engaging, courageous young people, and of their remarkable fight for justice." -- Goodreads"First published in 1995, |Bus Ride to Justice|, the best-selling autobiography by acclaimed civil rights attorney Fred D. Gray, appears…
now in a newly revised edition that updates Gray's remarkable career of "destroying everything segregated that I could find." Of particular interest will be the details Gray reveals for the first time about Rosa Parks's 1955 arrest. Gray was the young lawyer for Parks and also Martin Luther King Jr. and the Montgomery Improvement Association, which organized the 382-day Montgomery Bus Boycott after Parks's arrest. As the last survivor of that inner circle, Gray speaks about the strategic reasons Parks was presented as a demure, random victim of Jim Crow policies when in reality she was a committed, strong-willed activist who was willing to be arrested so there could be a test case to challenge segregation laws. Gray's remarkable career also includes landmark civil rights cases in voting rights, education, housing, employment, law enforcement, jury selection, and more. He is widely considered one of the most successful civil rights attorneys of the twentieth century and his cases are studied in law schools around the world. In addition he was an ordained Church of Christ minister and was one of the first blacks elected to the Alabama legislature in the modern era. Initially denied entrance to Alabama's segregated law school, he eventually became the first black president of the Alabama bar association." -- Provided by publisherThe Hanford plaintiffs: voices from the fight for atomic justice

état d’éveil nous devons arriver à comprendre que nous sommes nous-mêmes les créateurs de notre propore souffrance. Que notre mental – et non pas les autres et notre monde environnant – est à l’origine de nos problèmes. C’est notre mental, avec son flot presque continu de pensées, qui se soucie du passé et s’inquiète de l’avenir qu’il faut apprendre à maîtriser. Pour entreprendre ce périple vers le pouvoir du moment présent, il nous faut laisser derrière nous notre esprit analytique et le faux moi qu'il a créé, c'est-à-dire l'ego.A death at Crooked Creek: the case of the cowboy, the cigarmaker, and the love letter
Par Marianne Wesson. 2013
One winter night in 1879, at a lonely Kansas campsite near Crooked Creek, a man was shot to death. The…
dead man's traveling companion identified him as John Hillmon, a cowboy from Lawrence who had been attempting to carve out a life on the blustery prairie. The case might have been soon forgotten and the apparent widow, Sallie Hillmon, left to mourn except for the $25,000 life insurance policies Hillmon had taken out shortly before his departure. The insurance companies refused to pay on the policies, claiming that the dead man was not John Hillmon, and Sallie was forced to take them to court in a case that would reach the Supreme Court twice. The companies' case rested on a crucial piece of evidence: a faded love letter written by a disappeared cigarmaker, declaring his intent to travel westward with a "man named Hillmon." Adult.
