Download or read book Rosa's Bus written by Jo S. Kittinger and published by Astra Publishing House. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the remarkable story of Bus #2857 and its passengers, including Rosa Parks, who changed history in Montgomery, Alabama, in December 1955. Like all buses in Montgomery, Alabama in the 1950s, bus #2857 was segregated: white passengers sat in the front, and Black passengers sat in the back. Bus #2857 was ordinary -- until a woman named Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white passenger. Her arrest sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a major event in the Civil Rights moment, which was led by a young minister named Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. For 382 days, Black passengers chose to walk rather than ride the buses in Montgomery. This picture book is told from the point of view of the bus, telling its story from the streets where it rode, to its present home in the Henry Ford Museum.

Download or read book A History of Fort Worth in Black & White written by Richard F. Selcer and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Fort Worth in Black & White fills a long-empty niche on the Fort Worth bookshelf: a scholarly history of the city's black community that starts at the beginning with Ripley Arnold and the early settlers, and comes down to today with our current battles over education, housing, and representation in city affairs. The book's sidebars on some noted and some not-so-noted African Americans make it appealing as a school text as well as a book for the general reader. Using a wealth of primary sources, Richard Selcer dispels several enduring myths, for instance the mistaken belief that Camp Bowie trained only white soldiers, and the spurious claim that Fort Worth managed to avoid the racial violence that plagued other American cities in the twentieth century. Selcer arrives at some surprisingly frank conclusions that will challenge current politically correct notions.

Download or read book Buses Are a Comin' written by Charles Person and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A firsthand exploration of the cost of boarding the bus of change to move America forward—written by one of the Civil Rights Movement's pioneers. At 18, Charles Person was the youngest of the original Freedom Riders, key figures in the U.S. Civil Rights Movement who left Washington, D.C. by bus in 1961, headed for New Orleans. This purposeful mix of black and white, male and female activists—including future Congressman John Lewis, Congress of Racial Equality Director James Farmer, Reverend Benjamin Elton Cox, journalist and pacifist James Peck, and CORE field secretary Genevieve Hughes—set out to discover whether America would abide by a Supreme Court decision that ruled segregation unconstitutional in bus depots, waiting areas, restaurants, and restrooms nationwide. Two buses proceeded through Virginia, North and South Carolina, to Georgia where they were greeted by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and finally to Alabama. There, the Freedom Riders found their answer: No. Southern states would continue to disregard federal law and use violence to enforce racial segregation. One bus was burned to a shell, its riders narrowly escaping; the second, which Charles rode, was set upon by a mob that beat several riders nearly to death. Buses Are a Comin’ provides a front-row view of the struggle to belong in America, as Charles Person accompanies his colleagues off the bus, into the station, into the mob, and into history to help defeat segregation’s violent grip on African American lives. It is also a challenge from a teenager of a previous era to the young people of today: become agents of transformation. Stand firm. Create a more just and moral country where students have a voice, youth can make a difference, and everyone belongs.

This book was released on 2010-04-28 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "After having the question of What Are You? posed to him as a kid by a curious child, Tyson began a lifelong journey of biracial enlightenment in search of the ultimate answer to that question. After teetering on both sides of the threshold of lower and middle class life with his white mother and her family in a world where the Caucasian race was supreme and saw no equal, Tyson was sent on a turbulent quest of self discovery, to live with the previously unknown, black parents of his permanently incarcerated father and was abruptly thrust into the antithesis of his previous life. Whereas previously white reigned supreme, now black power was almighty. After adjusting to his new identity, he was ripped from comfort and thrown into the tumultuous environment of the foster care system where he experienced a racial roller coaster ride from ashy to classy, below the poverty line to the lap of luxury and back again to the median of the two. The Plight of the Other Race offers an eye opening perspective on Black, White and Multi Racial America as well as thought provoking insight into the experience of a biracial individual in current day America"--Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surprisingly, kids were some of the key instigators in the Civil Rights Movement, like Barbara Johns, who held a rally in her elementary school gym that eventually led to the Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court school desegregation decision, and six-year-old Ruby Bridges, who was the first black student to desegregate elementary schools in New Orleans. In The Civil Rights Movement for Kids, children will discover how students and religious leaders worked together to demand the protection of civil rights for black Americans. They will relive the fear and uncertainty of Freedom Summer and learn how northern white college students helped bring national attention to atrocities committed in the name of segregation, and they'll be inspired by the speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr., Medgar Evers, and Malcolm X. Activities include: reenacting a lunch counter sit-in; organizing a workshop on nonviolence; holding a freedom film festival followed by a discussion; and organizing a choral group to sing the songs that motivated the foot soldiers in this war for rights.

Download or read book Teaching Black History to White People written by Leonard N. Moore and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leonard Moore has been teaching Black history for twenty-five years, mostly to white people. Drawing on decades of experience in the classroom and on college campuses throughout the South, as well as on his own personal history, Moore illustrates how an understanding of Black history is necessary for everyone. With Teaching Black History to White People, which is “part memoir, part Black history, part pedagogy, and part how-to guide,” Moore delivers an accessible and engaging primer on the Black experience in America. He poses provocative questions, such as “Why is the teaching of Black history so controversial?” and “What came first: slavery or racism?” These questions don’t have easy answers, and Moore insists that embracing discomfort is necessary for engaging in open and honest conversations about race. Moore includes a syllabus and other tools for actionable steps that white people can take to move beyond performative justice and toward racial reparations, healing, and reconciliation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My book tells the story of what it was like living in the segregated south; New Orleans in particular. It relates how I and a few friends suffered under the yoke of segregation, Jim Crow laws and what we accomplished to secure change in our neighborhood, the church and city. As difficult as it was living under those bigoted, racist laws, I also relate how much fun we had securing those changes.
