Book Description
THE 52nd KID- If you counted, you know there are forty-nine chapters. Two are "double" because each married another classmate, so that leaves one-one. My story is told all the way through: clever, huh! To condense the facts, however, I need to say that I'm married to Robert "Bob" Wilson, and I have a daughter, Kim; her husband, Mike; and two grandchildren, Andrew and Gloria. They are the truest blessings that God has given me, next to His assurance of everlasting life. The class of '52 is a continual source of delight, surprise, and frustration-and those of us who meet in Tulsa on a fairly regular basis are luckier than all the rest. The photo is from the 1998 Home for the Holidays when I was inducted into the Daniel Webster Hall of Fame.

From Pariahs to Partners
Author: David Tobis
Publisher: OUP USA
ISBN: 0195099885
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
In the early 1990s 50,000 children were in New York City's foster care system. By 2011 there were fewer than 15,000. In his book, David Tobis shows how such radical change was driven largely by a movement of mothers whose children had been placed into foster care, who fought to become advocates and stakeholders in a system that had previously viewed them as part of the problem. This book serves as an example of how advocates can change a system, as told from the perspective of key figures, change agents, and the parent advocates themselves.

Lucretia Mott's Heresy
Author: Carol Faulkner
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 0812205006
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
Lucretia Coffin Mott was one of the most famous and controversial women in nineteenth-century America. Now overshadowed by abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison and feminists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mott was viewed in her time as a dominant figure in the dual struggles for racial and sexual equality. History has often depicted her as a gentle Quaker lady and a mother figure, but her outspoken challenges to authority riled ministers, journalists, politicians, urban mobs, and her fellow Quakers. In the first biography of Mott in a generation, historian Carol Faulkner reveals the motivations of this radical egalitarian from Nantucket. Mott's deep faith and ties to the Society of Friends do not fully explain her activism—her roots in post-Revolutionary New England also shaped her views on slavery, patriarchy, and the church, as well as her expansive interests in peace, temperance, prison reform, religious freedom, and Native American rights. While Mott was known as the "moving spirit" of the first women's rights convention at Seneca Falls, her commitment to women's rights never trumped her support for abolition or racial equality. She envisioned women's rights not as a new and separate movement but rather as an extension of the universal principles of liberty and equality. Mott was among the first white Americans to call for an immediate end to slavery. Her long-term collaboration with white and black women in the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society was remarkable by any standards. Lucretia Mott's Heresy reintroduces readers to an amazing woman whose work and ideas inspired the transformation of American society.
