  In the summer of 1942, the first group of African American recruits stepped off a bus into the pine woods of North Carolina, bound for an experiment the Marine Corps had long vowed never to attempt. Their destination - Montford Point, a hastily constructed satellite to the new Camp Lejeune - was more than a training ground. It was a compromise with democracy, a segregated doorway into an institution that had defined itself for generations by who could not enter. The Corps’ exclusivity had a racial edge: unlike the Army, which had long employed segregated black regiments, and the Navy, which at least allowed African Americans to serve as stewards and messmen, the Marines had barred black men outright from 1798 into the Second World War. (Nalty 1995) 
  	Between 1942 and 1949, nearly 20,000 black men trained at Montford Point. They endured tar-paper barracks that baked in summer heat and leaked in coastal storms, learned to drill to the cadence of instructors who sometimes doubted their right to wear the uniform, and mastered skills that would carry them to the beaches and supply trails of Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. Their story illuminated the paradox of wartime America, a republic that preached freedom abroad while policing hierarchies at home. 
  	In the process, Montford Point became both a threshold and a proving ground. It marked the reluctant admission of black men to a branch that had defined itself against them, and it tested a proposition central to mid-century American life: whether citizenship could be earned, displayed, and finally recognized through service. The soldiers’ stories can’t be branded as hagiography or indictment, but they offer a clear view of how a segregated experiment altered an institution and, over time, the nation the soldiers served.

  The North American India is commonly a symbolist, a spiritualist, and a savant. Like most: native people groups, his spirit was en affinity with the grandiose organizations appearing about him. Besides the fact that his Manidos controlled creation from their lifted up seats over the mists, however they additionally plunged into the universe of men and blended with their red kids. The dim mists looming into the great beyond were the smoke from the calumets of the divine beings, who could construct flames of frozen wood and utilize a comet for a fire. The Native American inhabited the woods, streams, and sky with heaps of superphysical and undetectable creatures. There are legends of whole clans of Indians who lived in lake bottoms; of races who were never found in the daytime yet who, approaching from their secret caverns, wandered the earth around evening time and waylaid unwary explorers; likewise of Bat Indians, with human bodies and batlike wings, who lived in bleak woodlands and distant bluffs and who dozed hanging head descending from extraordinary branches and offshoots of rock. The red man's way of thinking of basic animals is evidently the result of his private contact with Nature, whose mysterious miracles become the producing reason for such powerful hypotheses.

  Moonlight bathes the mountain shrine. Wind howls across the desert landscape. 
  Finn enters the ruined structure, limbs weak and eyes glazed. Images of foul, perverse acts adorn the walls. A stone altar awaits a sacrifice. 
  A dark force calls this place home. The time has come to receive its blessing. 
  But a price must be paid. 
  Absolute devotion. Absolute subjugation. 
  Finn strips nude and falls to his knees. 
  The ritual begins.

  So—the presidential election of 2016 happened. You cried, you ranted, you marched. But how do you stay engaged for the long term? How do you keep fighting while also continuing your real life? How do you get involved when you feel far from the action? How do you stay vigilant without being furious all. the. time? 
    
  Needing to take action after the election, Emma Gray, Executive Women’s Editor at HuffPost, put on her journalist hat and set out to get answers to these questions from some of the most prominent thought leaders and activists of our time. She spoke with march organizers, and senators, long-time activists, and newcomers across political movements to find out the best ways to listen to those who have been doing this for a while, join in, and create sustainable action. In all of her conversations, one theme came up again and again: young women are essential to the resistance. 
    
  Interweaving the interviews with her own experiences covering resistance events and being a member of the media in a time when the media has been under assault, Emma has created a down and dirty guide for women of all ages to roll up their sleeves and resist the forces that are a threat to our rights.

  • A guide for how to choose good news sources and make sure you’re getting quality information. 
   
  • Practical instructions on how to get involved and stay involved, with examples from the author’s own experience organizing the successful “Watch Us Run” conference.  
   
  • An exploration of female centric work spaces and instructions for how to create your own.
