  In the late 1960s, Patsy Channing, a stunningly beautiful young woman, was suspended from the venerable Mississippi State College for Women for breach of conduct. The resulting scandal reached all the way to the Columbus courthouse, and the press ate it up. 
   
   
   
  But Patsy's story starts long before that, living with a preoccupied and troubled mother in Memphis, Tennessee. Music becomes her ticket out and a vehicle for the one thing she covets most—a chance to be crowned Miss America. 
   
   
   
  In Confessions of a Southern Beauty Queen, Julie Hines Mabus provides a peek into that world—a world struggling through the civil rights movement, reeling from the death of JFK, and cutting loose with the musical innovations from Memphis and Detroit. Patsy develops a close friendship with a guitarist at Stax Recording Studio, giving her firsthand exposure to the early Memphis Soul Sound. 
   
   
   
  Confessions of a Southern Beauty Queen opens and closes with the end of Patsy's time at Mississippi State College for Women on that fateful spring morning in 1968 when she entered the Columbus courthouse. Patsy's story, marked with tragedy and triumph, mirrors that of a growing and evolving South, where change never comes easy.

  A former football champion’s engrossing personal story of spirituality and rebellion, and an inspiring call to action against systemic racism. 
  The son of a Jamaican father and a Quebecois mother, Balarama Holness spent his earliest, most formative years on an ashram in West Virginia, learning the principles of equity and austerity, which would guide him through life. It wasn’t until he returned to Montreal at age ten with his mother and twin brother that he encountered virulent racism for the first time. Faced with a system that seemed stacked against him, Holness initially fell between the cracks. 
  Eyes on the Horizon is Holness’s story of lifting himself up through the power of self-determination, spirituality and no small amount of rebellion to confront the systemic racism of his city and his country. He accomplished this first through football, going all the way to a Grey Cup championship, and later through activism and politics. 
  Holness’s personal journey is connected to the social history of Canada, Quebec and the United States. Committed to reshaping society as we know it, he uses lessons from his own life to teach others about racism past and present, and to help people better understand how human beings should live and how to build a truly peaceful and just society for our children.

  The Art of the Pharaohs -...

  Ancient Egyptian art is one of the most iconic and influential art forms in history. Spanning over three millennia, it provides a deep insight into the culture, religion, and beliefs of ancient Egyptian society. The art of Egypt is characterized by its symbolic use of colors, the strict adherence to formal rules of representation, and its focus on the afterlife. It was primarily created for religious, funerary, and commemorative purposes, serving as a medium to honor the gods and pharaohs, as well as to ensure a successful passage into the afterlife for the deceased. 
  The origins of Egyptian art can be traced back to the early dynastic periods, where it evolved in response to both religious needs and political structures. As the power of the pharaohs grew, so did the complexity and grandeur of Egyptian art. The early works were heavily influenced by the religious beliefs that governed life and death. Art was not seen as a form of personal expression but rather as a tool to serve divine and societal purposes. The rigid style and symbolic representations seen in Egyptian art reflect the culture's focus on order, permanence, and the divine, rather than individualism or naturalism. 
  Key materials used in Egyptian art included stone, wood, and metals, often adorned with vibrant pigments. The Egyptians were skilled in creating sculptures, jewelry, and paintings that survived for thousands of years due to their mastery of preservation techniques. The most recognizable aspects of Egyptian art include the distinctive posture and proportions in their sculptures, as well as the use of vibrant, symbolic colors in their paintings. These works were often intended for tombs, temples, and other sacred spaces, ensuring the continued favor of the gods and providing a connection to the divine realm.
