The Path to Freedom - A Journey of Hope and Resilience

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In the annals of American history, the Civil Rights Movement stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who dared to challenge racial injustice and discrimination. This book delves into the heart of this transformative movement, exploring the key events, influential figures, and profound impact it had on American society.

Through the lens of historical analysis and personal narratives, we relive the struggles, triumphs, and sacrifices that shaped the course of history. From the Montgomery Bus Boycott to the March on Washington, from the Voting Rights Act to the Poor People's Campaign, we trace the evolution of the movement, examining its strategies, achievements, and lasting legacy.

At the forefront of this movement stood Martin Luther King Jr., a man whose unwavering commitment to nonviolence and racial equality inspired millions. This book pays tribute to King's life and legacy, exploring his pivotal role in shaping the course of the Civil Rights Movement and his enduring impact on American society.

Beyond the iconic leaders and landmark events, this book also shines a light on the countless unsung heroes of the movement. From grassroots organizers to everyday citizens who risked their lives and livelihoods in the pursuit of justice, their stories deserve to be told and celebrated. Their courage and sacrifice paved the way for a more just and equitable society, and their contributions to the movement cannot be overstated.

The Civil Rights Movement was not merely a struggle for racial equality; it was a battle for the soul of America. It was a fight for the fundamental principles of liberty, equality, and justice for all, regardless of race or background. This book explores the profound impact the movement had on American society, examining how it transformed laws, policies, and attitudes, and how it continues to shape the nation's journey towards a more perfect union.

As we reflect on the past and the ongoing struggle for racial justice, this book serves as a reminder of the power of collective action and the transformative potential of nonviolent resistance. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the unwavering belief in the possibility of a better future for all.

Z Generation - Into the Heart of...

Ian Garner

How did Vladimir Putin galvanize the Russian people to back his genocidal war in Ukraine, and why are so many of them willing to embrace fascism? This vivid, on-the-ground narrative reveals how Russia's fascist generation came into being—and the dark future that awaits the country if that hold cannot be broken. 
 
 
 
Wartime Russia is drowning in fascist symbols. Zealous patriots attack journalists, opposition activists, and anyone suspected of betraying the motherland. Russians are urged to join the cause by hordes of online trolls and sleek videos of angry young men bellowing patriotic slogans. State television terrifies viewers with trumped up tales of anti-Russian conspiracies and genocidal yearnings. Child soldiers proudly parade across Red Square. This is Russia in the 2020s: a land of performative rage and nationalist untruth, where play-acting, pretense, and broken promises are a way of life. But in a world where pretense has become the norm, a terrifying, apocalyptic mindset is seizing the Russians of tomorrow. 
 
 
 
As enrapturing as it is terrifying, Z Generation reveals how Russia ended up where it is today, and where its young people are headed: a fascist generation more zealous, violent, and ideological than anything the country has seen before.

Succeed the Right Way - What...

Paul Gunn

The path to massive, lasting, and peaceful success is not one of domination and defeat; it’s a path walked by a quiet warrior whose weapons are caring and compassion.
 
Qualities such as empathy, compassion, and kindness have long been seen as weaknesses in business but Succeed the Right Way demonstrates how these qualities can be the most powerful forces in achieving success. Using studies and real-life examples, Gunn takes you through the human experience, focusing on business, and instructs you how to live a successful life based on kindness.
 
Most of us are good people, and it’s exhausting to live a false life where no compassion or empathy can be expressed. Operating with shields up all the time, because we are terrified of being seen as weak, is not sustainable and is unhealthy. But these grossly misunderstood gentle qualities are actually stronger than thoughtless aggression, and they allow us to live in peace.
 
The recent global pandemic has changed our world. From the business landscape to views on social responsibility, we are now in a situation where empathy and kindness are more powerful than ever. From management to negotiations, diversity and inclusion, Gunn explores them all.
 
Succeed the Right Way is a must for people tired of traditional business’s old dog-eat-dog paradigm.

Don't Let Bad Luck Follow You

Pastor Philip

When God created the world, he considered everything to be good, and when God created man, everything was very good. With the fall into sin, evil entered our world. That was the beginning of mankind's misfortune.  The song, 'Wonderful Grace' sung by Chey at the end of the sermon, gives the listener an opportunity to reflect on the sermon.

It explores the histories and afterlives of sound collections and practices at the International Library of African Music. Sound Fragments follows what happens when a colonial sound archive is repurposed and reimagined by local artists in post-apartheid South Africa. The narrative speaks to larger issues in sound studies, curatorial practices, and the reciprocity and ethics of listening to and reclaiming culture. Sound Fragments interrogates how Xhosa arts activism contributes to an expanding notion of what a sound or cultural archive could be, and where it may resonate now and in future.
