This book is meant to generate a discussion about integration absent of the emotion. The people that were involved in the Civil Rights Movement decided that this was the best way to move Blacks as a group forward. This had never been attempted in America. There was no blue print.The nation is fifty years into the experiment, so it is time to take a cold, hard look at the outcomes of the Black community to determine if the experiment has been effective. In order to determine the effectiveness we need to examine the outcomes for the group. Progress can not be measured by the exceptions but by the rule. If a few Blacks have progressed and the majority have not, then the nation has to reevaluate this policy.

This volume highlights five critical key issues relevant to Colorado’s Black and Brown communities. As a result of the recent activity around policing and equity, marijuana, education and biases, prisoner reintegration, and activism, it offers solutions to managing those problems. The book is a resource that must be read by K-12 educators, social workers, probation officers, grass roots leaders, adult educators, and university professors in the area of sociology, education, Black studies, and the non-traditional disciplines. Additionally, the volume contains essential tools for training professionals and teaching our youth by offering insights to problem solve in urban areas. It provides pertinent information vital to the development and success of our youth struggling in K-12, higher education, and the criminal justice system.

Readers know from his now classic Lenin's Tomb that Remnick is a superb portraitist who can bring his subjects to life and reveal them in such surprising ways as to justify comparison to Dickens, Balzac, or Proust. In this collection, Remnick's gift for character is sharper than ever, whether he writes about Gary Hart stumbling through life after Donna Rice or Mario Cuomo, who now presides over a Saturday morning radio talk show, fielding questions from crackpots, or about Michael Jordan's awesome return to the Chicago Bulls -- or Reggie Jackson's last times at bat. Remnick's portraits of such disparate characters as Alger Hiss and Ralph Ellison, Richard Nixon and Elaine Pagels, Gerry Adams and Marion Barry are unified by this extraordinary ability to create a living character, so that the pieces in this book, taken together, constitute a splendid pageant of the representative characters of our time.

America is quickly eroding as a nation. Our political, economic, and social structures have collapsed, and life as we know it is quickly disappearing. To correct our decline, Republicans argue that we need less government, and Democrats argue that we need more government. Both parties claim understanding, but apparently neither has wisdom. Unfortunately, we have failed to consult God in our attempt to recover. Gods word provides a clear illustration regarding where America is politically, economically, and socially in Genesis and Exodus. The demise of America parallels almost perfectly with the demise of the Israelites in Egypt. The similarities are eerily disturbing. If Gods word is true, that we reap what we sow, then it is equally true that we, like the Israelites, control the harvest. The Israelites harvest included 430 years of bondage, and it is becoming increasingly apparent that Americas harvest will result in nothing less, but remember; we controlled the harvest.

*A Zibby's Most Anticipated Book of 2023* *A "Next Big Idea Club" Must-Read Book for January* *An Essence "Books by Black Authors to Read This Winter" Pick* *An Ebony Entertainment "Required Reading" Book for January* *A Lambda Literary "Most Anticipated LGBTQIA+ Literature" for January* *A Southern Review of Books Best Book of January* A piercing collection of essays on racial tension in America and the ongoing fight for visibility, change, and lasting hope “There are stories that must be told.” Acclaimed novelist and scholar Daniel Black has spent a career writing into the unspoken, fleshing out, through storytelling, pain that can’t be described. Now, in his debut essay collection, Black gives voice to the experiences of those who often find themselves on the margins. Tackling topics ranging from police brutality to the AIDS crisis to the role of HBCUs to queer representation in the black church, Black on Black celebrates the resilience, fortitude, and survival of black people in a land where their body is always on display. As Daniel Black reminds us, while hope may be slow in coming, it always arrives, and when it does, it delivers beyond the imagination. Propulsive, intimate, and achingly relevant, Black on Black is cultural criticism at its openhearted best.

Lines Were Drawn looks at a group of Mississippi teenagers whose entire high school experience, beginning in 1969, was under federal court-ordered racial integration. Through oral histories and other research, this group memoir considers how the students, despite their markedly different backgrounds, shared a common experience that greatly influences their present interactions and views of the world—sometimes in surprising ways. The book is also an exploration of memory and the ways in which the same event can be remembered in very different ways by the participants. The editors (proud members of Murrah High School's Class of 1973) and more than fifty students and teachers address the reality of forced desegregation in the Deep South from a unique perspective—that of the faculty and students who experienced it and made it work, however briefly. The book tries to capture the few years in which enough people were so willing to do something about racial division that they sacrificed immediate expectations to give integration a true chance. This period recognizes a rare moment when the political will almost caught up with the determination of the federal courts to finally do something about race. Because of that collision of circumstances, southerners of both races assembled in the public schools and made integration work by coming together, and this book seeks to capture those experiences for subsequent generations.
