Book Description
This book is not only geared towards empowering the lives of African American children, but any child regardless of race or creed. I emphasize African American only because a mass proportion of our history our people and our struggles and triumphs remain absent in most scholastic lessons undoubtfully, we people of color have overcome several injustices, but even in a nation where we now have a minority as Chief of Justice, it's our young African American boys that continue to lead the highest population of dropouts, it's our African American men that even at the age of 30 on 75% reads and comprehends at a eighth grade level, it's our African American girls that formulate 65% of teenage pregnancies and we Black women continue to lead the highest numbers for sexually transmitted diseases. Children emulate what they see; they re-produce what they've learned.

Maybe
Author: Renée White
Publisher: Dorrance Publishing

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
Maybe: My Memoir (One Chantel’s Story) is a story about the eventful life of one of the original members of The Chantels, the famed female rhythm and blues group. The Chantels rocked the world and the music industry during the late 1950s with hits including “Maybe,” “He’s Gone,” “The Plea,” “I Love You So,” and “Look In My Eyes” and many other chart toppers. This book gives readers a glimpse of the author’s childhood and what it was like growing up in the Bronx during the 1950s. Her father, Leroy Minus, was a jazz pianist who fell in love and married Thelma Minus, a jazz singer. Both parents retired their show business careers to raise their seven children. Ms. White attended St. Anthony of Padua’s Grammar School. White met four young girls, Arlene Smith, Jackie Landry, Millicent Goring and Lois Harris. The girls became good friends and formed The Chantels. Their memorable tours through America’s South in the midst of the Civil Rights Movement were often scary and interesting. The Chantels are still singing and sound better than ever as they tour the country, entertaining audiences and receiving standing ovations.

To Shake the Sleeping Self

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “With winning candor, Jedidiah Jenkins takes us with him as he bicycles across two continents and delves deeply into his own beautiful heart.”—Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild and Tiny Beautiful Things On the eve of turning thirty, terrified of being funneled into a life he didn’t choose, Jedidiah Jenkins quit his dream job and spent sixteen months cycling from Oregon to Patagonia. He chronicled the trip on Instagram, where his photos and reflections drew hundreds of thousands of followers, all gathered around the question: What makes a life worth living? In this unflinchingly honest memoir, Jed narrates his adventure—the people and places he encountered on his way to the bottom of the world—as well as the internal journey that started it all. As he traverses cities, mountains, and inner boundaries, Jenkins grapples with the question of what it means to be an adult, his struggle to reconcile his sexual identity with his conservative Christian upbringing, and his belief in travel as a way to wake us up to life back home. A soul-stirring read for the wanderer in each of us, To Shake the Sleeping Self is an unforgettable reflection on adventure, identity, and a life lived without regret. Praise for To Shake the Sleeping Self “[Jenkins is] a guy deeply connected to his personal truth and just so refreshingly present.”—Rich Roll, author of Finding Ultra “This is much more than a book about a bike ride. This is a deep soul deepening us. Jedidiah Jenkins is a mystic disguised as a millennial.”—Tom Shadyac, author of Life’s Operating Manual “Thought-provoking and inspirational . . . This uplifting memoir and travelogue will remind readers of the power of movement for the body and the soul.”—Publishers Weekly

Eva Palmer Sikelianos
Author: Artemis Leontis
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691210764
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
This is the first biography to tell the fascinating story of Eva Palmer Sikelianos (1874-1952), an American actor, director, composer, and weaver best known for reviving the Delphic Festivals. Yet, as Artemis Leontis reveals, Palmer's most spectacular performance was her daily revival of ancient Greek life. For almost half a century, dressed in handmade Greek tunics and sandals, she sought to make modern life freer and more beautiful through a creative engagement with the ancients. Along the way, she crossed paths with other seminal modern artists such as Natalie Clifford Barney, Renée Vivien, Isadora Duncan, Susan Glaspell, George Cram Cook, Richard Strauss, Dimitri Mitropoulos, Nikos Kazantzakis, George Seferis, Henry Miller, Paul Robeson, and Ted Shawn. 0Brilliant and gorgeous, with floor-length auburn hair, Palmer was a wealthy New York debutante who studied Greek at Bryn Mawr College before turning her back on conventional society to live a lesbian life in Paris. She later followed Raymond Duncan (brother of Isadora) and his wife to Greece and married the Greek poet Angelos Sikelianos in 1907. With single-minded purpose, Palmer re-created ancient art forms, staging Greek tragedy with her own choreography, costumes, and even music. Having exhausted her inheritance, she returned to the United States in 1933, was blacklisted for criticizing American imperialism during the Cold War, and was barred from returning to Greece until just before her death. 0Drawing on hundreds of newly discovered letters and featuring many previously unpublished photographs, this biography vividly re-creates the unforgettable story of a remarkable nonconformist whom one contemporary described as "the only ancient Greek I ever knew."
