Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
In 1950, future Hall of Famer Earl Lloyd became the first African American to play in a National Basketball Association game. Nicknamed "Moonfixer" in college, Lloyd led West Virginia State to two CIAA Conference and Tournament Championships and was named All-American twice. One of three African Americans to enter the NBA at that time, Lloyd played for the Washington Capitals, Syracuse Nationals, and Detroit Pistons before he retired in 1961. Throughout his career, he quietly endured the overwhelming slights and exclusions that went with being black in America. Yet he has also lived to see basketball—a demonstration of art, power, and pride—become the black national pastime and to witness the inauguration of Barack Obama. In a series of extraordinary conversations with Sean Kirst, Lloyd reveals his fierce determination to succeed, his frustration with the plight of many young black men, and his sincere desire for the nation to achieve true equality among its citizens.

Standing and Delivering
Author: Henry Gradillas
Publisher: R&L Education
ISBN: 1607099438
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
We often hear about the need to make demands on all students, especially those of color, of different cultural backgrounds, and from low income families. A lot of educators talk the talk, but only a few have actually walked the walk. One of the few American schools that actually made substantial strides in improving education for low-income students was Garfield High school in the 1980s. The success of Jaime Escalante, Garfield's calculus teacher, was depicted in the 1987 film Stand and Deliver. This film is often shown in education classes and teacher inservices. Unfortunately, Hollywood played rather freely with the facts and created a film that is a poor guide for teachers and administrators who want to recreate Escalante's experience. The reality, however, is even more wonderful than the film, and, unlike the Hollywood fantasy, is replicable. When coauthor Jerry Jesness interviewed Jaime Escalante about the secret of his success, the first four words Escalante spoke were, 'Our principal, Henry Gradillas_ .' In this book, Dr. Gradillas shares both his upbeat philosophy of education and the practical school management techniques that helped translate that philosophy into success for thousands of students over three decades. The book focuses on three areas that are key to the operation of an effective school: School climate, instruction, and curriculum. It includes many references to the Garfield experience, as well as to other schools where Gradillas was at the helm.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
The Arcadians, an ancient but dying alien race, genetically engineered their race to survive and interface with humans. These "Star Children" look, act and are human, but they are far more. The Human/Arcadian juveniles have dormant mental powers over the elements that begin to emerge at puberty. These DNA altered infants were dispersed to orphanages throughout the U.S. and Great Britain to develop as humans but awaken as Arcadians as adults. When many of these Star Children begin to be murdered while in government custody, it comes to the attention of the president. Horrified, he orders an investigation that leads to the unveiling of deep corruption within the government and military. The FBI discover a sinister plot to eliminate their only threat, the Star Children, and begin a war using aliens and advanced technology controlled by a secret human organization. It is about a war that should have ended over seventy years ago and an intricate and complicated plot devised and implemented over decades to achieve world domination. They have chosen now to launch their war. Some of the Star Children survive and band together and use their emerging powers to survive against the assault on them. As their powers grow they search out their benefactors in Antarctica to discover who they are. They learn they are the only force that can stand against the enemy. They collaborate with the US and Russian governments to uncover the plot and battle against this rogue waring force. This is a fast moving adventure with building mystery and many twists. Join the Star Children and their human allies in their battle to survive long enough to evolve and combat the enemy. Be there as they learn to use their evolving mental powers to manipulate the elements to survive, as they fight land and air battles and in their Investigative research to uncover the master plot and try to disrupt it.
