Overground Railroad
Author: Candacy A. Taylor
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1683356578
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
This historical exploration of the Green Book offers “a fascinating [and] sweeping story of black travel within Jim Crow America across four decades” (The New York Times Book Review). Published from 1936 to 1966, the Green Book was hailed as the “black travel guide to America.” At that time, it was very dangerous and difficult for African-Americans to travel because they couldn’t eat, sleep, or buy gas at most white-owned businesses. The Green Book listed hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and other businesses that were safe for black travelers. It was a resourceful and innovative solution to a horrific problem. It took courage to be listed in the Green Book, and Overground Railroad celebrates the stories of those who put their names in the book and stood up against segregation. Author Candacy A. Taylor shows the history of the Green Book, how we arrived at our present historical moment, and how far we still have to go when it comes to race relations in America. A New York Times Notable Book of 2020

Nox
Author: Rae Else
Publisher: Anchorite Publishing
ISBN: 1916904939
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
The clans, covens, and courts will be unified once the race that was cloven is too. Jess escaped the Triodia Penitentiary and slew her uncle, Lorenzo, the Remus Alpha. Although she is free, she isn't at peace. The death omen, the Sidhe, who called to her in the Between haunts her. The Enodia Coven, who Jess shelters with, would have her claim the Rem Alphahood. By familial and slayer rights, it belongs to her. Why then does she feel an affinity with the rival Rom Clan? As Jess struggles to work out where she belongs in the para world, the mysteries surrounding her continue to grow. Will the truth, the para officer Matteo holds, set her free? Or is the vamp, Rune, the key to finding where she fits in? Contrarily, what if the truth doesn't set Jess free? What if, instead, it steals her future? Nox is the second in a four-book series, The Dark Between. Like the Between, the series is liminal and sits between the space of Young and New Adult. Warning, from here on, the themes are darker and definitely of the NA flavor.

L. D. S. Punk
Author: St. Peter Davila
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1483675904
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
Punk rock ethics and philosophy are to question everything, do not except things just because you are told to do so, but instead learn about them yourself so that YOU can make your own decisions. And contrary to popular belief Punk is not about being lazy, it's about D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself). It's about not conforming to the norm! Punk rock also has a very freestyle spirit, it's about being different, distinct, not like everybody else! This is what originally attracted me to Punk rock and later the Gothic rock movement. Being L.D.S. (Latter-day Saint) is also about questioning everything, up to and including our eternal heavenly father. It's about not being what the world expects you to be. But instead standing up for what is right and not ignoring what is wrong! And through the course of this, being different and distinct is a way of life in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If this is not Punk Rock, I don't know what is? This is my story that has taken me from Catholicism to Mormonism, from Paganism to Buddhism and from crazy punk rock insanity to dark, morbid, gothic rock death & gloom. Then on to Pentecostal/Evangelical Christianity and finally back to just me and my personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It's a story about searching for answers, especially the age, old questions of: who are we? Where do we come from? And where do we go after we die? It's about trusting our heavenly father and realizing that Jesus Christ really loves us and deeply cares about our well being both temporal and spiritual. Most importantly it's about developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, he is here for us no matter what we do and wants us to be happy and for this reason died for us, so that we could be set free. To give us a chance to be happy, to be with him...
