In September 2019, after attending a trip with Holocaust survivors, Justin and his friend began conversing about the Holocaust and slavery. Later that day, Justin asked "So, Mom, what exactly was slavery about?" I used what I had: Research, analytical, and communication skills, which allowed me to learn more about the who, what, when, where, how, and why of the complex topic: slavery. I filled the gaps in my own knowledge surrounding this difficult topic. I did what I could: I created a teachable moment for our son and From Me to You was born! From Me to You is a multigenerational coffee table book focusing on multiple aspects of African American history and, by extension, American history. From Me to You explores the social impact and economic legacy of the once central American institution of slavery from the lens of enslaved Africans and their descendants through accessible storytelling. Starting with Ida B. Wells and ending with former President Barack Obama, From Me to You features illustrations and short biographies of the most prominent nineteenth and twentieth century civil rights activists, centering their voices with quotes and affirmations anchored in the time in which they lived. Special illustrations and quotes from Edwidge Danticat (award-winning author), Dr. Oneeka Williams (urologic surgeon and award-winning author), Dr. Pamela C.V. Jolly (international speaker and author), and the legendary Calvin Hill (retired NFL player) are within."--provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6328567</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6328567</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Moore-Janvier, Deidra R.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6328567109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Power of Storytelling and Its Inherent Generational Wealth--an African American Story</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781645436232/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[History Smashers]]></title><description><![CDATA[Myths!

Muhammad Ali's bike was stolen when he was twelve years old and the police officer he reported the crime to suggested he learn how to fight before he caught up with the thief. Bessie Coleman, the first African American female aviator, collected and washed her neighbors' dirty laundry so she could raise enough money for college. When Duke Ellington was seven years old, he preferred playing baseball to attending the piano lessons his mom had arranged. That They Lived fills in gaps in the history that American children have been taught for generations. For African American children, it will prove that they are more than descendants of the enslaved.

That message would be self-evident in a just world, but in this world and this America, all children need to hear it again and again, and not just to hear it but to feel and know it. This book affirms the message repeatedly, tenderly, with cumulative power and shared pride. Celebrating Black accomplishments in music, art, literature, journalism, politics, law, science, medicine, entertainment, and sports, Shani King summons a magnificent historical and contemporary context for honoring the fortitude of Black role models, women and men, who have achieved greatness despite the grinding political and social constraints on Black life. Frederick Douglass, Toni Morrison, Sojourner Truth, John Lewis, Langston Hughes, Louis Armstrong, Maya Angelou, Aretha Franklin, and many more pass through these pages. An America without their struggles, aspirations, and contributions would be a shadow of the country we know. A hundred life sketches augment the narrative, opening a hundred doors to lives and thinking that aren't included in many history books. James Baldwin's challenge is here: "We are responsible for the world in which we find ourselves, if only because we are the only sentient force which can change it." Actress Viola Davis's words are here, too: "When I was younger, I did not exert my voice because I did not feel worthy of having a voice. I was taught so many things that didn't include me. Where was I? What were people like me doing?" This book tells children what people like Viola were and are doing, and it assures Black children that they are, indisputably, worthy of having a voice. Have I Ever Told You Black Lives Matter? is a book for this time and always. It is time for all children to live and breathe the certainty that Black lives matter.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6079492</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6079492</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[King, Shani M.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6079492109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780884488897/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The People Remember]]></title><description><![CDATA[From award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Ibi Zoboi comes her debut book--a tour de force that uses the principles of Kwanzaa to talk about the history of African Americans. The People Remember tells the journey of African descendants in America by connecting their history to the seven principles of Kwanzaa. It begins in Africa, where people were taken from their homes and families. They spoke different languages and had different customs. Yet they were bound and chained together and forced onto ships sailing into an unknown future. Ultimately, all these people had to learn one common language and create a culture that combined their memories of home with new traditions that enabled them to thrive in this new land. This is an important book to read as a family--a story young readers can visit over and over again to deepen their understanding of African American history in relation to their own lives and current social justice movements. By turns powerful and revealing, this is a lyrical narrative that tells the story of survival, as well as the many moments of joy, celebration, and innovation of Black people in America.

For African slaves in North America, these rebellions were largely unsuccessful. Nevertheless, the anger and uprisings that came from people who wanted their freedom and were willing to fight for it are important parts of the story of the fight to end slavery. Readers get a deeper understanding of crucial slave rebellions throughout history through thoroughly researched text, primary sources, and topical photographs.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5673590</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5673590</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Harasymiw, Therese]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5673590109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The History of Slave Rebellions</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781534562356/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Child's Introduction to African American History]]></title><description><![CDATA[Jabari Asim goes beyond what's taught in the classroom and tells a fact-filled history of African Americans through politics, activism, sports, entertainment, music, and much more.

There, they were free to set up an open market, sing, dance, and play music. They were free to forget their cares, their struggles, and their oppression. This poetic, nonfiction story about this little-known piece of African American history chronicles the daily duties of such slaves--from chopping logs on Mondays to baking bread on Wednesdays to plucking hens on Saturday--and builds to the freedom of Sundays and the special experience of an afternoon spent in Congo Square, capturing humanity's capacity to find hope and joy even in the most difficult of circumstances and demonstrating how New Orleans' Congo Square was truly freedom's heart.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5602945</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5602945</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Weatherford, Carole Boston, 1956-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5602945109</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781520078557/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
