A clarion call for academics and policymakers alike, Cry Freedom prompts reflection on the evolving relationship between government and higher education.
The journey of service begins with an understanding that true giving is born from within. The heart of service is not about fulfilling obligations or performing tasks for recognition; it is an inner calling that drives us to connect with others in meaningful ways. This chapter invites us to reflect on how genuine service originates from a desire to alleviate suffering, share joy, and foster unity in our communities. It is an exploration of the transformative power of selflessness—a power that inspires us to step beyond our personal interests and contribute to the collective well-being. At the center of this approach lies the belief that every human interaction is an opportunity for connection and healing. When we serve others, we engage in an act that goes beyond simple assistance; we offer empathy and understanding that can bridge divides and mend broken spirits. This process begins with a willingness to be vulnerable, to acknowledge our own limitations, and to reach out to those in need with humility and compassion. By doing so, we not only enrich the lives of others but also discover the latent potential within ourselves—a potential that grows with each act of kindness. Embracing the heart of service means accepting that our actions, no matter how small, can spark significant change. Each moment of compassion, every instance of thoughtful help, builds a foundation of trust and mutual respect in our relationships. This mindset challenges the prevailing culture of self-interest by affirming that our shared humanity is what truly defines us. In recognizing the interconnectedness of all lives, we find that our service to others is also a form of service to ourselves. It nurtures our growth, strengthens our resolve, and deepens our understanding of what it means to be truly alive.Ver livro
The story of a young, Black Communist Party organizer wrongly convicted of attempting to incite insurrection and the landmark case that made him a civil rights hero. Decades before the impeachment of an American president for a similar offense, Angelo Herndon was charged under Georgia law with "attempting to incite insurrection"—a crime punishable by death. In 1932, the eighteen-year-old Black Communist Party organizer was arrested and had his room illegally searched and his radical literature seized. Charged under an old slave insurrection statute, Herndon was convicted by an all-white jury and sentenced to eighteen to twenty years on a chain gang. A legal odyssey of Herndon's narrow escape from certain death because of his unpopular political beliefs, You Can't Kill a Man Because of the Books He Reads explores Herndon's journey from Alabama coal miner to Communist Party organizer to Harlem hero and beyond. Brad Snyder tells the stories of the diverse coalition of people who rallied to his cause and who twice appealed his case to the US Supreme Court. They forced the Court to recognize free speech and peaceable assembly as essential rights in a democracy—a landmark decision in 1930s America as well as today.Ver livro
