Book Description
Freedom on My Mind reveals the richly diverse and complex experience of black people in America in their own words, from the Colonial era of Benjamin Banneker to the present world of Kweisi Mfume and Clarence Thomas. Personal correspondence, excerpts from slave narratives and autobiographies, leaflets, significant addresses and speeches, oral histories and interviews, political manifestos, and important statements of black institutions and organizations are brought together to form a volume that testifies to the boundless creative potential of black Americans in indefatigable pursuit of the dream of freedom. Arranged thematically, the selections illustrate the politics of resistance—as reflected through gender and sexuality, kinship and community, work and leisure, faith and spirituality. They also highlight the contributions of women to black identity, history, and consciousness, and offer excerpts from the work of some of the finest stylists in the African American canon. A general introduction as well as short introductions and bibliographies for each document further enhance the usefulness of the book for students and researchers.

Book Description
From Rags to Righteousness is the true life story of one young preacher and his family's desperate struggles to obey and serve the Lord. Their first of many betrayals came when their home church pastor sent the young family off to Bible school with promises and lies. You will read of their struggles to keep shelter over their heads and food on their table. And how, by modern-day miracles, the Lord provided their daily needs day by day. The sins of the author are not hidden from the reader. As the miracles are provided and victories, the preacher turns back to his old life. He takes you with him into the darkness of wasted years. You watch his fall and the depth of it. You cheer and laugh at the way the Lord brings him to repentance and back into the holy calling of the Lord. When the Shipmans invited a stranded twenty-year-old woman with a nine-month-old baby into their home, their lives changed forever. Within these pages, you will find the gripping account of this family's unselfish rescues of homeless women and their children. You also read of the wolves in sheep's clothing and their opposition and their determination to fight against this preacher tooth and nail! You will be shocked by the well-known pastors who, motivated by jealousy and envy, stood against this ministry. You will see how the betrayal, deceptions, and revenge try to destroy the family and the mission it represents. You will read how one of America's first and most powerful megachurch became involved with disbelief. You will wonder at the rich and powerful foundations, two of Chattanooga's chief of police, and prominent civic leaders, and for good measure, an assortment of mentally ill come together in a garbled maze with the motive of bringing about the downfall of one preacher!
