Ain't Scared of Your Jail
Author: Zoe A Colley
Publisher: University Press of Florida
ISBN: 081304264X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
Imprisonment became a badge of honor for many protestors during the civil rights movement. With the popularization of expressions such as "jail-no-bail" and "jail-in," civil rights activists sought to transform arrest and imprisonment from something to be feared to a platform for the cause. Beyond Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letters from the Birmingham Jail," there has been little discussion on the incarceration experiences of civil rights activists. In her debut book, Zoe Colley does what no historian has done before by following civil rights activists inside the southern jails and prisons to explore their treatment and the different responses that civil rights organizations had to mass arrest and imprisonment. Colley focuses on the shift in philosophical and strategic responses of civil rights protestors from seeing jail as something to be avoided to seeing it as a way to further the cause. Imprisonment became a way to expose the evils of segregation, and highlighted to the rest of American society the injustice of southern racism. By drawing together the narratives of many individuals and organizations, Colley paints a clearer picture how the incarceration of civil rights activists helped shape the course of the movement. She places imprisonment at the forefront of civil rights history and shows how these new attitudes toward arrest continue to impact contemporary society and shape strategies for civil disobedience.

Book Description
TRUE LOVE Til death do us apart is what I recall. Now it seems we’re in a battle; a brawl for it all! This ain’t no three-part equation, it’s God, you and I. It’s been like that from the beginning, I’m your do- or- die. Trying to run interference? That will never work, we’ve been battle tested; that’s just an added perk. Satan dispatched his agents to bring us to an end; with God at the helm he will never win! We believe in the vow that we promised before God. Our marriage is in his hands, impossible to fall! Give it all you got but you don’t stand a chance. Love that is God designed will last ‘til the end. We don’t go for hard and we don’t come from the streets but if you keep coming you might get tapped on the beak by our daddy, the one no one can defeat. You know who he is, God! 2 Chronicles 20:17 “But you will not even need to fight. Take your positions; then stand still and watch the Lord’s victory”.

It Ain't You, The Battle is in the Air
Author: Alzina Mouton-Moore
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1635253896
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
The Lord instructed Alzina to write It Ain't You because it's a universal thing, not for just men. As I follow his instruction, he advised me that these battles were in the air. He walked me through step by step with the battles then the scriptures because these battles are not us. Therefore, It Ain't You: The Battle Is in the Air is all God. Even though there are many, many more, those are the ones He instructed me to work with. As we met every morning at three thirty, He downloaded me with the scriptures I had already used. And I told Him I used that scripture already, but I was obedient. I truly thank God for trusting me to write this book because as I was writing and studying, it helped me. He even allowed me to feel that these battles are in the air, and they are real. These battles are so real; only Jesus could heal, deliver, and set free and stop the battles from being attached and detaching the ones we are wearing. We talk about how the unsaved act and the so-called saved ones, and we judge but we can't those same battles could have been attached to us. Our families, friends, and people we don't know and even our enemies, and we think it's them but it's not. And when we think about a person in their right mind would never do some of the things that are happening in this world today if they were in their right mind. So I do love Jesus with all my heart, mind, and soul; and I need to be obedient to Him. May God truly minister to your hearts, minds, and spirits.
