  Gordon Braxton was in his second year of college before anybody bothered to speak to him about sexual violence, despite the fact that he already knew friends and family members that had survived sexual assault. Unfortunately, this is a  
  common experience as many young men and boys, especially Black boys, do not have an opportunity to discuss their views on sexual violence and what role they might play in preventing it. Empowering Black Boys to Challenge Rape Culture  
  supports the training of a rising generation by providing commentary from an experienced educator, an overview of existing research and preventative techniques, and insight into young men’s perspectives on violence. The result is a  
  powerful new perspective on violence prevention—the first to focus on Black boys and to be written by a Black male author. 
   
  The most critical lesson that boys need to learn is that they have an essential role to play in preventing sexual violence. So many of them accept this violence as beyond their control when they could be valuable agents of change. More and  
  more parents and mentors of boys are coming to address sexual violence as a cultural problem rather than the activities of isolated social deviants. Empowering Black Boys to Challenge Rape Culture adds an important voice to our discussions  
  about sexual violence education and prevention, showing that a rising generation of boys will play a vital part in realizing a non-violent future.

  A Promise Kept - The Muscogee...

  "At the end of the Trail of Tears there was a promise," United States Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the decision issued in the case of McGirt v. Oklahoma. And that promise, made in treaties between the United States and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation more than 150 years earlier, would finally be kept. With the Court's ruling, the full extent of the Muscogee (Creek) Reservation was reaffirmed—meaning that 3.25 million acres of land in Oklahoma were recognized as "Indian Country." A Promise Kept explores the circumstances and implications of McGirt v. Oklahoma, likely the most significant Indian law case in well over a hundred years. Combining legal analysis and historical context, this book gives an in-depth, accessible account of how the case unfolded and what it might mean for Oklahomans, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, and other tribes throughout the United States. 
   
   
   
  Robbie Ethridge traces the history of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation from its inception to its resurgence in Oklahoma in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Robert J. Miller considers McGirt v. Oklahoma, examining important related cases, precedents that informed the Court's decision, and future ramifications. Their work clarifies the stakes of a decision that, while long overdue, raises numerous complex issues profoundly affecting federal, state, and tribal relations and law.

Allon’s investigation uncovers a network of powerful individuals, including the seemingly benevolent billionaire Martin Landesmann, whose wealth is tied to the stolen funds. As Allon delves deeper, he encounters danger, betrayal, and a race against time to expose the truth and bring justice to the victims of the past.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve is set in a post-apocalyptic world where cities are mobile, consuming smaller towns for resources in a system called Municipal Darwinism. The story follows Tom Natsworthy, a London apprentice, and Hester Shaw, a mysterious scarred girl, as they become entangled in a quest for revenge and the pursuit of an ancient weapon called MEDUSA. The narrative explores the dangers of unchecked ambition and the destructive potential of old technology, as the city of London seeks to dominate other settlements. This exploration leads to a conflict between the tractionist cities and those who resist them, as well as examining the personal journeys of the main characters in a world that values power and progress above all.
