Summary

School Desegregation delves into the complex history of integrating American public schools, revealing how the promise of equal opportunity under the Fourteenth Amendment clashed with deeply ingrained racial segregation. This historical analysis examines the legal battles, political strategies, and social transformations that shaped education during the Civil Rights Movement and beyond. The book highlights the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision and the subsequent resistance to desegregation, illustrating that legal victories alone do not guarantee social change. One intriguing aspect explored is the massive resistance movement in the South, where states actively fought against integration efforts. The book takes a chronological and thematic approach, beginning with pre-Brown legal precedents like Plessy v. Ferguson and progressing through the implementation of desegregation policies. It dissects the strategies used to resist integration, including the creation of private academies, and analyzes the federal government's role in enforcing desegregation. The analysis of local school board meeting minutes offers unique insights into the difficulties faced at the local level. Ultimately, the book addresses the persistent achievement gap and contemporary challenges such as re-segregation and school choice, providing a comprehensive understanding of the ongoing struggle for equal education.

    The Matanikau battles proved to be the critical turning points in the land campaign for Guadalcanal—the campaign's longest and bloodiest ground fight. A five-month conflict raged along the river and its basin. The real importance of this area has long remained unrecognized, yet the American and Japanese forces that fought over it knew that it was the key to the ultimate prize of Henderson Airfield. In this mile-long bloody tug-of-war from the river across to the hills and ravines were fought seven major battles and countless smaller skirmishes.While countless books have been published on the Guadalcanal Campaign, none have concentrated on the pivotal battles of the Matanikau basin. Extensively researched, this first in-depth study of these important battles, objectively showing all sides, fills in this crucial missing piece of the history of the Guadalcanal campaign.The well-known Guadalcanal battlefield guide Dave Holland spent three years walking the battlefields, researching, and documenting what he found. His unparalleled knowledge of the ground enables him to take the listener along with the men on the ground. Using his investigative skills and military background, he provides a fresh, detailed, and often completely new view of the land campaign.

    Read by the author. 
Asking the hard questions about immigration in light of Jesus' call to love our neighbors as ourselves. 
You've seen the headlines. You've watched the TV footage. People around the world are in dire situations and on the move. Current estimates suggest over 100 million people are forcibly displaced from their homes and seeking refuge in other countries. It seems as if everyone wants to come to the U.S., and if we're honest, that gives many of us pause. 
We wonder how it would impact our culture and communities if we showed welcome to the world, and many of us wonder how to separate the political rhetoric and talking points on present day immigration from what the Bible really has to say about immigrants and strangers. 
Start with Welcome dives into the whole narrative of Scripture to better understand what God calls us to do concerning immigrants and refugees. Bri Stensrud will guide you through pressing questions that will ignite your compassion and leave you curious about our calling as followers of Christ—questions like:Is Immigration a Pro-Life Issue?What does the Bible say about Immigrants?Who is Welcome here?What does Christlike Welcome look like? 
  
You have questions. You have fears. But you also have compassion. 
So, let's start there. 
Bri Stensrud welcomes you into the conversation—a conversation that’s more urgent now than ever. It all starts with one word: Welcome. 
Pictures and discussion questions can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
