  The Shadow and the Flash by Jack London - Can the moving out of line of even the smallest atom of the Inscrutable pattern of the Universe, bring down the whole great edifice in instantaneous, crashing holocaust? 
  John Griffith Chaney, famously known as Jack London, was born in 1876. He was among the first American writers to achieve international fame and financial success through his work. At the age of 21, in 1897, London embarked on a journey to the Klondike during the Gold Rush, an experience that inspired some of his earliest and most successful stories. 
  In 1899, Jack London was living in poverty, desperately submitting stories in the hope of earning one cent per word, the standard rate for fiction he had read about. When he finally sold a 4,000-word story, he was dismayed to receive only $5.00 for it. Reflecting on this moment, London later wrote, “I was finished—finished as only a very young, very sick, and very hungry young man could be … I would never write again.” 
  However, that same day, he received a letter from the publisher of The Black Cat, responding to his submission of A Thousand Deaths. The publisher requested permission to cut the story in half and offered $40 if London agreed. London recalled, “It was the equivalent to twenty dollars per thousand, or double the minimum rate. And that is just precisely how and why I stayed by the writing game. Literally, and literarily, I was saved by The Black Cat short story.”

  In 1854, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Jennings, an African American schoolteacher, fought back when she was unjustly denied entry to a New York City streetcar, sparking the beginnings of the long struggle to gain equal rights on public transportation. 
   
  One hundred years before Rosa Parks took her stand, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Jennings tried to board a streetcar in New York City on her way to church. Though there were plenty of empty seats, she was denied entry, assaulted, and threatened all because of her race--even though New York was a free state at that time. Lizzie decided to fight back. She told her story, took her  
  case to court--where future president Chester Arthur represented her--and won! Her victory was the first recorded in the fight for equal rights on public transportation, and Lizzie's case set a precedent. Author Beth Anderson and acclaimed illustrator E. B. Lewis bring this inspiring, little-known story to life in this captivating book.
