Jewish Community of Atlanta, The
Author: Jeremy Katz, Foreword by
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1467105856
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
As Atlanta evolved from a sleepy, backwater, 19th-century frontier railroad town into a 21st-century international metropolis, Jewish men and women significantly contributed to the rich tapestry of the "Gate City of the South." The commercial infrastructure of the expanding city was greatly enhanced through numerous small businesses established by Jewish merchants, some of which became major players in various industries. Many of Atlanta's most recognizable icons--The Coca-Cola Company, Georgia Institute of Technology, and the Atlanta Braves--originated, in part, thanks to support from visionary leaders in the Jewish community. While there are many success stories throughout Atlanta's Jewish history, there are also dark episodes of blatant antisemitism that traumatized the community and had national implications. The lynching of Leo M. Frank; the bombing of the city's historic synagogue, the Hebrew Benevolent Congregation; and the deliberate expulsion of Jewish students from Emory University Dental School marred Atlanta's self-proclaimed reputation as "The City Too Busy to Hate."

Clay Between My Fingers
Author: Sylvie Gilbert
Publisher: Banff Centre Press
ISBN: 9780920159781
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 41
Book Description
This publication presents a challenge to the traditional association of ceramics with function. Much ceramic work continues to be considered in relation to the vessel—the cup, plate and teapot—but there is much more to consider. The four artists in this publication work with ceramics in a broader context, looking at the history, cultural use and social value of clay. Artworks by Millie Chen, Jamelie Hassan, Baco Ohama and Garry Williams are discussed in texts by Sandra Buckley, Amy Gogarty, D.L. Pughe and Reginald Woolery. Sylvie Gilbert, curator of the exhibition, provides an introduction. A groundbreaking essay by Peter White, "Whither Function: Ceramics in the Comfort Zone," directs ceramics out of the comfort zone to discuss possibilities beyond the traditional framework of function.

I Will Survive
Author: Gloria Gaynor
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466865954
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
I Will Survive is the story of Gloria Gaynor, America's "Queen of Disco." It is the story of riches and fame, despair, and finally salvation. Her meteoric rise to stardom in the mid-1970s was nothing short of phenomenal, and hits poured forth that pushed her to the top of the charts, including "Honey Bee," "I Got You Under My Skin," "Never Can Say Goodbye," and the song that has immortalized her, "I Will Survive," which became a #1 international gold seller. With that song, Gloria heralded the international rise of disco that became synonymous with a way of life in the fast lane - the sweaty bodies at Studio 54, the lines of cocaine, the indescribable feeling that you could always be at the top of your game and never come down. But down she came after her early stardom, and problems followed in the wake, including the death of her mother, whose love had anchored the young singer, as well as constant battles with weight, drugs, and alcohol. While her fans always imagined her to be rich, her personal finances collapsed due to poor management; and while many envied her, she felt completely empty inside. In the early 1980s, sustained by her marriage to music publisher Linwood Simon, Gloria took three years off and reflected upon her life. She visited churches and revisited her mother's old Bible. Discovering the world of gospel, she made a commitment to Christ that sustains her to this day.

Black Ice
Author: Lorene Cary
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0679737456
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
In 1972 Lorene Cary, a bright, ambitious black teenager from Philadelphia, was transplanted into the formerly all-white, all-male environs of the elite St. Paul's School in New Hampshire, where she became a scholarship student in a "boot camp" for future American leaders. Like any good student, she was determined to succeed. But Cary was also determined to succeed without selling out. This wonderfully frank and perceptive memoir describes the perils and ambiguities of that double role, in which failing calculus and winning a student election could both be interpreted as betrayals of one's skin. Black Ice is also a universally recognizable document of a woman's adolescence; it is, as Houston Baker says, "a journey into selfhood that resonates with sober reflection, intellignet passion, and joyous love."
