  A moving book about the history of Emancipation Park in Houston, Texas—and the origins of Juneteenth. 
  When people visit me, they are free—to run, play, gather, and rejoice. 
  They built me to remember. 
  On June 19, 1865, the 250,000 enslaved people of Texas learned they were free, ending slavery in the United States. This day was soon to be memorialized with the dedication of a park in Houston. The park was called Emancipation Park, and the day it honored would come to be known as Juneteenth.   
  In the voice and memory of the park itself—its fields and pools, its protests and cookouts, and, most of all, its people—the 150-year story of Emancipation Park is brought to life. Through lyrical text Tonya Duncan Ellis and Jenin Mohammed have crafted an ode to the struggle, triumph, courage, and joy of Black America—and the promise of a people to remember.

  Christmas on Ganymede

  Christmas on Ganymede by Isaac Asimov - Consider the problems of miners who work on Ganymede, moon of Jupiter, 390,000,000 miles from earth: isolated on a world so different from our own, surrounded by beings who know nothing of our traditions, how might these men teach their alien work-mates how we celebrate Christmas? 
  Olaf Johnson hummed nasally to himself and his china-blue eyes were dreamy as he surveyed the stately fir tree in the corner of the library. Though the library was the largest single room in the Dome, Olaf felt it none too spacious for the occasion. Enthusiastically he dipped into the huge crate at his side and took out the first roll of red-and-green crepe paper.  
  What sudden burst of sentiment had inspired the Ganymedan Products Corporation, Inc. to ship a complete collection of Christmas decorations to the Dome, he did not pause to inquire. Olaf’s was a placid disposition, and in his self-imposed job as chief Christmas decorator, he was content with his lot.  
  He frowned suddenly and muttered a curse. The General Assembly signal light was flashing on and off hysterically. With a hurt air Olaf laid down the tack-hammer he had just lifted, then the roll of crêpe paper, picked some tinsel out of his hair and left for officers quarters.  
  Commander Scott Pelham was in his deep armchair at the head of the table when Olaf entered. His stubby fingers were drumming unrhythmically upon the glass-topped table. Olaf met the commander’s hotly furious eyes without fear, for nothing had gone wrong in his department in twenty Ganymedan revolutions.  
  The room filled rapidly with men, and Pelham’s eyes hardened as he counted noses in one sweeping glance. 
  "We’re all here. Men, we face a crisis!" 
  There was a vague stir. Olaf’s eyes sought the ceiling and he relaxed. Crises hit the Dome once a revolution, on the average.

  Crystal Harmonies Sung by Wind...

  In the crystal caverns of Harmonia, where wind chimes sing harmonies from zephyr breaths and stone singers resonate with cavern echoes, spirit Zephyr entwines her melody with singer Petra, whose voice calls stones to life. Their song, chimed in breeze vows, harmonizes the winds—or shatters the crystals in dissonant gales. As they echo through chime-veiled halls and stone-sung galleries, disrupted by gale wardens and echo dampeners, Zephyr's airy melody fuses with Petra's grounded tone, unveiling a crystal legend of sung breeze. When a silenced chime unleashes dust devils, they must sing the harmony to still the storm. In the resonance of wind-sung crystals, where every chime carries a note of longing and every stone vibrates with passion, their entwined love becomes the melody that echoes forever.
