Book Description
In 1950, a group of African American workers at the Studebaker factory in South Bend met in secret. Their mission was to build homes away from the factories and slums where they were forced to live. They came from the South to make a better life for themselves and their children, but they found Jim Crow in the North as well. The meeting gave birth to Better Homes of South Bend, and a triumph against the entrenched racism of the times took all their courage, intelligence and perseverance. Author Gabrielle Robinson tells the story of their struggle and provides an intimate glimpse into a part of history that all too often is forgotten.

Book Description
The story of the first German immigrants to northern Indiana is the story of the beginnings of South Bend. The predominant immigrant group from the 1840s to the 1870s, the Germans helped build South Bend from an isolated trading post into a thriving industrial city. They also played a key role in transforming the surrounding wilderness into rich and fertile farmland. Using first-hand personal accounts and public documents, German Settlers of South Bend illustrates the lives of these pioneer immigrants and their growing city. The material has been collected from a large number of sources on both sides of the Atlantic, including more than 200 German letters from the 1840s to the 1870s that provide glimpses into the day-to-day lives of these early settlers and their families back in Germany. Descendants of immigrants from all over the United States and Germany have come forward with genealogies, stories, and pictures, providing a far-reaching portrait of the times.

Book Description
'The best American political biography since Obama's Dreams from My Father' Guardian NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A mayor's inspirational story of a Midwest city that has become nothing less than a blueprint for the future of American renewal. Once described by the Washington Post as "the most interesting mayor you've never heard of," Pete Buttigieg, the thirty-seven-year-old mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has now emerged as one of America's most visionary politicians. With soaring prose that celebrates a resurgent American Midwest, Shortest Way Home narrates the heroic transformation of a "dying city" (Newsweek) into nothing less than a shining model of urban reinvention. Elected at twenty-nine as the nation's youngest mayor, Pete Buttigieg immediately recognized that "great cities, and even great nations, are built through attention to the everyday." As Shortest Way Home recalls, the challenges were daunting: whether confronting gun violence, renaming a street in honour of Martin Luther King Jr., or attracting tech companies to a city that had appealed more to junk bond scavengers than serious investors. None of this is underscored more than Buttigieg's audacious campaign to reclaim 1,000 houses, many of them abandoned, in 1,000 days and then, even as a sitting mayor, deploying to serve in Afghanistan as a Navy officer. Yet the most personal challenge still awaited Buttigieg, who came out in a South Bend Tribune editorial, just before being re-elected with 78 percent of the vote, and then finding Chasten Glezman, a middle-school teacher, who would become his partner for life. While Washington reels with scandal, Shortest Way Home, with its graceful, often humorous, language, challenges our perception of the typical American politician. In chronicling two once-unthinkable stories, that of an Afghanistan veteran who came out and found love and acceptance, all while in office, and that of a revitalized Rust Belt city no longer regarded as "flyover country" Buttigieg provides a new vision for America's shortest way home.

Book Description
When Dr. Michael Blanchard approached me with the idea to publish a book of quotes that flowed from the minds of some of our most gifted intellectuals, I lit up in anticipation of how that looked. I have a unique perspective here. Dr. Blanchard is not just my colleague; he is a friend. Iron sharpens iron, and Dr. Blanchard and I have spent countless hours indulging in meaningful conversations about the enigmatic issues that plague the Black community. I am not surprised that he would have compiled such a list of quotes from so many brilliant minds because I cannot count the number of times I have seen snippets of our conversation pop up around the internet and social media with my name sitting next to them. I consider it one of the highest honors. Why is a book of quotes so crucial to the Black cause at a time like this? The answer is a bit complicated -- existing in at least a trichotomous reality that is beautifully overlapping. First, quotes can be highly inspirational to the mind of a great thinker. I cannot tell you how many times I have used quotes to launch my mind into the stratosphere of critical thought and hyper-examination of ideas, concepts, and theories that could, in some way, liberate my people. When you open your mind to what a quote reveals, it will take you inside the moment it emerged from the originator's mind. Second, quotes have the power to reshape one's thinking altogether. It can be easy to become encapsulated in our own cocoon of thought and reason -- becoming imprisoned by our own mind. When you read a quote from a great thinker, you appreciate and respect its meaning. It has the power to interpolate new concepts and uproot old ones. Quotations are often the seeds of uh-huh moments that literally change the course of a person's life. For instance, one of my favorite quotes is by Author Steven Furtick: "If the vision you have for your life is not so huge that it intimidates you, there is a good chance it is insulting God." You cannot read this quote and not be forced to reexamine the vision you have for your life. After all, the creator is examining it and could be insulted by it. Finally, we live in a microwave society where everything has to happen now. To exacerbate this truth, many of my people don't yet see the value in reading. We have become a generation taught by memes. Well, you can view this project as a book of recorded memes. Dr. Blanchard and I hope that you will be inspired and informed by the multitudinous quotations that occupy this book's pages. We want so badly for the words to lift from the pages and flow into your heart and minds to illuminate a new system of thought. As you examine these quotations, I want you to open your mind to the unlimited possibilities of your ability to impact the world around you. Step outside of the limited mindset pushed upon you through years and years of social conditioning. See yourself as an instrument of change and not a victim of oppression. Act as if these great thinkers' words were spoken with you in mind; because they were.

Book Description
South Bend, Indiana stood at the crossroads of several major Native American trading routes long before the Europeans, led by the French, arrived from Canada and the East Coast to trade for furs. The city on a bend of the St. Joseph River soon became an important commercial center for settlers moving west. Eventually, the University of Notre Dame and Studebaker would call the growing community home.
