A Voice from the South - Enriched edition By a Black Woman of the South

Anna J. Cooper

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "A Voice from the South," Anna J. Cooper presents a groundbreaking collection of essays that illuminate the complexities of race, gender, and social justice in post-Reconstruction America. Written in a style that blends rhetorical fervor with profound intellectual rigor, Cooper's work is both a personal testament and a powerful call to action. Her articulate arguments and poignant reflections challenge the prevailing narratives of her time, making her voice resonate across generations and establishing her as a precursor to later African American feminist thought. This text not only critiques the societal structures that marginalize black women but also advocates for their rights, emphasizing the necessity of education and civic engagement. Anna J. Cooper, an influential educator and activist, was born into slavery and emerged as one of the first African American women to earn a college degree. Her life experiences, imbued with the struggles and aspirations of black women, significantly shaped her perspectives, compelling her to speak out against the injustices faced by her community. Her conviction in the importance of education and advocacy laid the groundwork for her seminal work, reflecting the resilience and strength of black womanhood. I highly recommend "A Voice from the South" to readers interested in understanding the intersecting struggles of race and gender, as well as those who seek a deeper appreciation of the roots of feminist thought. Cooper's eloquence and insight provide not only a historical perspective but also provoke thought on contemporary issues, making this work an essential reading for anyone invested in social justice.

Templars in America - The Secret...

Tim Wallace-Murphy, Marilyn Hopkins

“This book is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand the true history of the founding of the most powerful nation on earth.” —Scott Wolter, host of America Unearthed and author of Cryptic Code of the Templars in America Using archival and archaeological sources, two historians reveal the hidden history of the Knights Templar and their travels to pre-Columbian America . . . and their influence on the Founding Fathers. Templars in America reveals the story of two leading European Templar families who combined forces to create a new commonwealth in America nearly a century before the voyages of Christopher Columbus. Henry St. Clair of the Orkney Islands, then part of Normandy, and Carlo Zeno, a Venetian trader, made peaceful and mutually beneficial contact with the Mi’qmaq people of what is now Canada. Proof of their travels is carved in stone on both sides of the Atlantic and can be found in documentary evidence borne out by a strong oral tradition that has withstood the test of time. Historians Tim Wallace-Murphy and Marilyn Hopkins demonstrate how this early contact with the Americas ties into the centuries-long development of the Templars and Freemasonry, which in turn shaped the thinking of the Founding Fathers—and the American Constitution. Wallace-Murphy and Hopkins also reveal the continuous history of American exploration from the time of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, through the age of the Vikings. Templars in America is a wild ride from the golden age of exploration to the founding of the United States.
