Amos Benton and Jake Martinez, employees of the Bureau, are sent from Tower-7 to investigate interior damage and missing items taken from a sustainer pod near Dallas.

Pages : 254
Book Description
WINNER OF THE 2017 HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOOK PRIZE This full color pictorial book is a place where social actors in transformative times will find connection between servant-leaders like Medgar Evers and Malcolm X, who themselves have hallowed certain spaces with their sacrifices for justice, and the sustainers, who ensured the transformation of Robben Island Prison, the Selma to Montgomery trail, and other sites into permanent symbols of equality. Builders, actors, preservers, scholars, storytellers and activists, by returning again and again to these sites, hallow these grounds anew. Through their stories, readers will find: - inspiration to transform, restore and sustain landmarks of justice, in order to maintain the flame of many selfless acts, and by that light, to illuminate current and future efforts to transform society and bring forth the fruits of equality; - information about the reinforcing power that sacred spaces of the struggle have, for all generations and groups of justice workers, whether their efforts takes digital, direct action, traditional, or non-hierarchical form; - evolution of landmarks of the civil rights, human rights and social movements, and specific changes those landmarks must make in order to play a more integral and explicit role in bringing justice and equality for the marginalized. The book includes more than 170 images, many of them rare or archival photographs. The University of Mary Washington Center for Historic Preservation annually awards a prize to an author whose book has the most potential for having a positive impact on historic preservation in the United States. This year's book prize jury focused on books that broke new ground or contributed to the intellectual vitality of the preservation movement. "The Sustainers took an authentic, grassroots approach to beginning a conversation about the tangible preservation and intangible meanings of African American sites," said Michael Spencer, associate professor of historic preservation and director of the Center for Historic Preservation. "Such a conversation has long been a goal of preservationists in an effort to better represent the underserved African American community.

Social Activism in Women’s Tennis
Author: Kristi Tredway
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000735354
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
Analyzing the key players and political moments in women’s professional tennis since 1968, this book explores the historical lineage of social activism within women’s tennis and the issues, expressions, risks, and effects associated with each cohort of players. Drawing on original qualitative research, including interviews with former players, the book examines tennis’s position in debates around gender, sexuality, race, and equal pay. It looks at how the actions and choices of the pioneering activist players were simultaneously shaped by, and had a part in shaping, larger social movements committed to challenging the status quo and working towards increased economic equality for women. Taking an intersectional approach, the book assesses the significance of players from Althea Gibson and Martina Navratilova to Venus and Serena Williams, illuminating our understanding of the relationship between sport, social justice, and wider society. This is important reading for researchers and students working in sport studies, sociology, women’s studies, and political science, as well as anybody with an interest in social activism and social movements. It is also a fascinating read for the general tennis fan.
