Breaking Through Barriers is a collection of events centered around the good fortunes and the struggles that the author has experienced. The author relives many of life's trials, battles, and some happy times, that result through the impact of decision making. Life can be joyful and engaging, but sometimes can be fearful and demanding. But no matter what life throws at us, we sometimes must break through the barriers of different forms of dysfunction, long suffering, bad judgement, and a host of other negative struggles that may imprison our minds, immobilize our bodies, and harden our hearts to successfully uncover all of life's pleasures, that the author believes we are destined to experience. The author often mentions her Christian faith, and how believing in God may not be a reality for some but has drawn her own conclusions from the most printed book ever published, The Holy Bible. The Holy Bible speaks of a Savior called Jesus Christ, who broke through so many barriers to save mankind. The author feels so deeply about her beliefs. She wanted to capture the essence of the message of the cross on her book cover. The author wanted to express to her readers that, like Jesus, we all have a cross to bear in life. And whatever struggles you face to bear that cross, you must to win and succeed in life! The author's faith in God has helped her conquer a large portion of her challenges, and many barriers faced. Faith enabled her present understanding that God is love and love conquers all. If you love yourself and you love others as you do yourself""no matter the size, shape, color, nationality""the majority of life's battles are mostly won. Sometimes we fight against each other because we have no compassion or love for someone who does not look like us or share our same beliefs. Somehow we must strive to get past the outer image, the physical, and look with our hearts spiritually, to find that unconditional love that conquers all! The author thinks the world would be a much better place to live if we changed our hearts and our interactions with all people, to improve the human race.

From the United States' earliest days, African Americans considered education essential for their freedom and progress. Linda M. Perkins’s study ranges across educational and geographical settings to tell the stories of Black women and girls as students, professors, and administrators. Beginning with early efforts and the establishment of abolitionist colleges, Perkins follows the history of Black women's post–Civil War experiences at elite white schools and public universities in northern and midwestern states. Their presence in Black institutions like Howard University marked another advancement, as did Black women becoming professors and administrators. But such progress intersected with race and education in the postwar era. As gender questions sparked conflict between educated Black women and Black men, it forced the former to contend with traditional notions of women’s roles even as the 1960s opened educational opportunities for all African Americans. A first of its kind history, To Advance the Race is an enlightening look at African American women and their multi-generational commitment to the ideal of education as a collective achievement.
