Book Description
When Roland Fargo Crump Jr. was born in 1930, who could have foreseen that so many of his creativeendeavors would bring smiles to millions of people? A fortune teller's window above Disneyland's Main Street U.S.A. provides some retroactively clairvoyant insight into the amazing reach of the 90-year-old artist's legacy of imagination. At "The Happiest Place on Earth," Rolly's iconic environmental creations (including the joyfully clock above Small World) have delighted visitors young and old for well over half a century and counting... tick... tock. Rolly was a master mischievist in all of his endeavors. From his family-friendly Disneyland creations to his counter-culture Beatnik designs, the art of surprise was as much a part of his repertoire as were drawing, painting, and sculpting. No matter the medium, humor played a major part in Rolly's artistic alchemy. In his early days at Disney Animation, Rolly made an array of ornamental propellers from metal eraser clips. What started as a creative pastime turned into an in-studio art exhibition and eventually led to the creation of the colorful "Tower of the Four Winds" for the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair and the twirling gold whirligigs and ever-spinning thingamajigs that adorn the famous façade of "It's a Small World" at Disneyland. Rolly's creative sorcery has always had a way of spiraling upward and outward to transform simple ideas into grand accomplishments.

Pages : 252
Book Description
Genocide—the intent to destroy in whole or in part, a group of people. TIME's 42 Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2019 Book Riot's 50 of the Best Books to Read This Fall As seen on CBS This Morning, award-winning attorney Ben Crump exposes a heinous truth in Open Season: Whether with a bullet or a lengthy prison sentence, America is killing black people and justifying it legally. While some deaths make headlines, most are personal tragedies suffered within families and communities. Worse, these killings are done one person at a time, so as not to raise alarm. While it is much more difficult to justify killing many people at once, in dramatic fashion, the result is the same—genocide. Taking on such high-profile cases as George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and a host of others, Crump witnessed the disparities within the American legal system firsthand and learned it is dangerous to be a black man in America—and that the justice system indeed only protects wealthy white men. In this enlightening and enthralling work, he shows that there is a persistent, prevailing, and destructive mindset regarding colored people that is rooted in our history as a slaveowning nation. This biased attitude has given rise to mass incarceration, voter disenfranchisement, unequal educational opportunities, disparate health care practices, job and housing discrimination, police brutality, and an unequal justice system. And all mask the silent and ongoing systematic killing of people of color. Open Season is more than Crump’s incredible mission to preserve justice, it is a call to action for Americans to begin living up to the promise to protect the rights of its citizens equally and without question.
