Theoharis’ scholarship brings forth a woman whom many followed without ever realizing they were. She was courageous and strong. She also had a wonderful sense of humor. And an awesome sense of responsibility. This is a much needed book on the woman who is, arguably, the most important person in the last half of the twentieth century. Just as the Lincoln Memorial needs a statue of Frederick Douglass gently bending over with a pen in his hand for Lincoln to sign the Emancipation Proclamation, the statue of Martin Luther King, Jr. needs a statue of Rosa Parks just one or two steps ahead mouthing the words: 'Come on, Dr. King.

Crimes motivated by racism are punished with particular severity, and Americans are more sensitive than ever about the words they choose when talking about race. And yet America remains divided along the color line. Acclaimed scholar John L. Jackson, Jr., identifies a new paradigm of race relations that has emerged in the wake of the legal victories of the civil rights era: racial paranoia. We live in an age of racial equality punctuated by galling examples of ongoing discrimination-from the federal government's inadequate efforts to protect the predominantly black population of New Orleans to Michael Richards's outrageous outburst. Not surprisingly, African-Americans distrust the rhetoric of political correctness, and see instead the threat of racism lurking below every white surface.

Yet it has additional strengths as 19th-century social history. Isabella Van Wagenen, a Pentecostalist domestic born into slavery about 1797 but who reinvented herself at 59 as an abolitionist orator, then into a fiery suffragist, is seen here through the prism of the religious, social and political movements that animated her. A striking presence on the platform, the subject of an as-told-to autobiography that went through many editions and helped sustain her financially, she seemed a born survivor, shedding slavery, abuse, poverty and prejudice during her 80-odd years (admirers claimed 110?she died in 1883). Shrewd, and with a commonsense wit, possessed of such a thundering voice that skeptics wondered if she were a man, she was never, Painter asserts, a quaintly exotic innocent. Relying on biblical allusions that her \"Bible-literate\" audiences could amplify, she was spellbinding. Still, Painter reminds us, \"Everything we know of Sojourner Truth comes through other people, mostly educated white women,\" for, despite decades of involvement with liberal, even radical, intellectuals, she remained illiterate.

Unique in his belief that the destiny of African Americans could not be separated from that of oppressed people the world over, Carmichael's Black Power principles insisted that blacks resist white brainwashing and redefine themselves. He was concerned not only with racism and exploitation, but with cultural integrity and the colonization of Africans in America. In these essays on racism, Black Power, the pitfalls of conventional liberalism, and solidarity with the oppressed masses and freedom fighters of all races and creeds, Carmichael addresses questions that still confront the black world and points to a need for an ideology of black and African liberation, unification, and transformation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStokely Speaks: From Black Power to Pan-Africanism\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy \u003cspan\u003eStokely Carmichael \u003cspan\u003e(Kwame Ture)\u003c\/span\u003e (Author), Mumia Abu-Jamal (Introduction)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback: 256 pages\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Replete with insights of brilliance.\"  —\u003cstrong\u003eJulius Lester\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IPG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32709808947281,"sku":"9781556526497","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/2005\/products\/Stokely_Speaks.jpeg?v=1677646243"},{"product_id":"something-like-beautiful","title":"Something Like Beautiful: One Single Mother's Story by Asha Bandele","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“asha bandele has a poignant story to share in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSomething Like Beautiful.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e It is the love that comes through that makes this such a compelling tale.”\u003cbr\u003e—Nikki Giovanni\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAward-winning journalist, and author of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Prisoner’s Wife \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eDaughter, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand performance poet featured on HBO’S Def Poetry Jam, asha bandele once again writes from the heart in her lyrical and intimate memoir \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSomething Like Beautiful\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—a moving story of love, loss, motherhood, and survival.

Later, the slave economy and higher education grew up together, each nurturing the other. Slavery funded colleges, built campuses, and paid the wages of professors. Enslaved Americans waited on faculty and students; academic leaders aggressively courted the support of slave owners and slave traders.

Appointed Assistant Librarian at the Library of Congress—at a time when government appointments were the most prestigious positions available for blacks—Murray became wealthy through his business as a construction contractor and married a college-educated socialite. The Murrays’ social circles included some of the first African-American U.S. Senators and Congressmen, and their children went to the best colleges—Harvard and Cornell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough Murray and other black elite of his time were primed to assimilate into the cultural fabric as Americans first and people of color second, their prospects were crushed by Jim Crow segregation and the capitulation to white supremacist groups by the government, which turned a blind eye to their unlawful—often murderous—acts.

And it took another intervention, this time staged by one of her homegirls, to turn Brittney into the fierce feminist she is today. In Brittney Cooper’s world, neither mean girls nor fuckboys ever win. But homegirls emerge as heroes.
