Synopsis

This insightful 1925 book traces the evolution of what was called the "Negro Question" in America, specifically examining the role of South Carolina in shaping early policies and attitudes. It analyzes key debates and votes in the state legislature and Constitutional Convention regarding slavery and the slave trade. The book highlights influential figures like Calhoun who pushed the state towards staunch pro-slavery views, as well as dissenting voices warning of the dangers of rapid expansion of slave populations.
 
Though dense with detail at times, the book offers an illuminating window into the political and economic machinations that ensnared South Carolina and the South in systems of bondage. Overall it provides a thought-provoking perspective on the complex forces driving America's gravest moral failure.

    Operation Sea Lion Succeeds -...

    The real Operation Sea Lion was fraught with logistical challenges, poor planning, and the formidable defenses of the British military. However, in this alternate history, key factors aligned to turn Hitler’s gamble into a shocking success. The fall of Britain was not inevitable, but a series of strategic shifts, political missteps, and military breakthroughs paved the way for an event that would alter the course of history forever. 
    One of the most significant changes was a decisive shift in Germany’s air strategy. Instead of squandering resources on bombing civilian targets, the Luftwaffe focused relentlessly on eliminating the Royal Air Force. A more coordinated assault on British radar stations, airfields, and aircraft production facilities crippled Britain’s ability to defend its skies. With the RAF severely weakened, the Germans gained air superiority far earlier than in reality, making an amphibious invasion far more feasible. 
    German naval strategy also played a critical role. In this timeline, the Kriegsmarine, instead of being vastly outmatched by the Royal Navy, benefited from increased coordination with the Luftwaffe and U-boat support. The Channel crossing was still risky, but a well-timed offensive, bolstered by deception tactics and a more aggressive submarine campaign, created an opening for German forces to land successfully on British shores.

    In Nourishing Caregiver Collaborations, Nawal Qarooni invites us to step beyond school-centric, one-off events and practices to create more authentic, engaging collaborations with caregivers. Instead of asking what families can do to support schools, Qarooni asks how schools can identify and celebrate what families already bring to their children's literacy learning. Establishing this work in holistic teaching, Qarooni explores five critical literacy tenets by highlighting opportunities to listen for, honor, connect to, and elevate family strengths while inviting them further into our shared work and encouraging reflection around: 
     
     
     
    ● Recognizing the journey of process 
     
     
     
    ● Celebrating the role collaboration plays within the collective 
     
     
     
    ● Using observational literacy to read the world 
     
     
     
    ● Advocating for the power of talk to grow ideas and connect 
     
     
     
    ● Giving children choice to make self-directed decisions 
     
     
     
    With moments of memoir woven in alongside diverse family examples and classroom stories, Qarooni shows how families contribute meaningfully to their children's literacy lives. Discover how we can tap into those vast wells to support learning at home and in school.
