This biography of educational activist and Black studies forerunner Bertha Maxwell-Roddey examines a life of remarkable achievements and leadership in the desegregated South. Sonya Ramsey modernizes the nineteenth-century term "race woman" to describe how Maxwell-Roddey and her peers turned hard-won civil rights and feminist milestones into tangible accomplishments in North Carolina and nationwide from the late 1960s to the 1990s.

Story0
In 1972 Lorene Cary, a bright black teenager from Philadelphia, was transplanted into the formerly all-white, all-male environs of the elite St. Paul's School in New Hampshire, where she became a scholarship student in a "boot camp" for future American leaders. Like any good student, she was determined to succeed. But Cary was also determined to succeed without selling out. This wonderfully frank and perceptive memoir describes the perils and ambiguities of that double role, in which failing calculus and winning a student election could both be interpreted as betrayals of one's skin.

Before she was an author of paranormal romance and urban fantasy novels, N. D. Jones was an educator. In her essay, she reflects on her 20-plus years as an educator in a field where most public school teachers and administrators are middle-class White women responsible for the academic future of more than 20 million students of color. Jones’ insights come from her years of facilitating cultural proficiency professional development for employees in a White-dominated public school system where all is supposed to mean all, yet racial inequity and disproportionality persist.

Story0
One American seldom receives the attention he rightly deserves. Noah Webster, Jr., does not often come immediately to mind when one considers those who helped the United States during its infancy. He should. His services were many and unique in the earliest stages of America. Even as a boy, Noah was fascinated with language and education. He was troubled by the lack of interest shown by others in formal schooling, and the lack of books and proper facilities bothered him even more. When the fires of the Revolution broke out in the early 1770s, Noah was a student at Yale.

Frederick Stewart, born in Buchan, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, was the first headmaster of the Hong Kong Government Central School for Boys (now Queen's College) and second inspector of schools. His consistent policy was to educate pupils in Western knowledge while preserving their Chinese identity, and he insisted on equal time for Chinese and English studies. By the end of his life, Stewart’s intimate knowledge of Hong Kong was considered unequaled among non-Chinese in Hong Kong at the time.

I retired from teaching this year (2020) after 30 years in high school. When I started teaching, we still typed everything on electric typewriters and then had someone in the office run copies on a mimeograph machine. (I can still smell that warm ink!) The coolest technology I used was a reel-to-reel movie projector and a filmstrip projector that advanced by itself instead of giving me the beep to advance it.

Vince Copley was born on a government mission into poverty in 1936. By the time he was 15, five of his family had died. But at a home for Aboriginal boys, he befriended future leaders Charlie Perkins, John Moriarty and Gordon Briscoe. They were friendships that would last a lifetime. In The Wonder of Little Things, Copley tells his story with humour, humility and wisdom. Written with his friend Lea McInerney over many cups of tea, it is an Australian classic in the making, a plain-speaking account of hardship, courage and optimism told without self-pity or big-noting.

This book is about the personal odyssey of becoming a dancer, teacher, and educator. With a few biographical elements, it represents a lifelong reflection of transformations from the innate gift to the fulfillment as an artist with the focus on self-education. As an artist, I take on a cosmopolitan approach to art by dissolving stigmas, national identities, borders, and walls from my experiences of the Soviet Union in the Cold War Era, through Canadian immigration, Danish society, and finally the American emergence, all through the eyes of a ballet teacher and artist.

This is not a traditional biography with a chronological enumeration of dates and places and events, because my husband’s life was not a traditional existence. His every thought and action was part of a larger whole - a profound knowledge of the universe that Philip Berg, who later became known as the Rav, acquired and then imparted. I include here events that are representative of his passion and purpose - events that also shaped my own journey, our tumultuous marriage, and the creation of the worldwide network known as the Kabbalah Center.

Scopri chi sei e chi vuoi diventare. Prendi i tuoi sogni sul serio. Fai volare l'aquilone. Sii libero, Hammudi. Continua a brillare. "Mi chiamo Nicolò. E tu?" "Hammudi" dice, indicandosi. "Siria." È sfuggito alla guerra, è sopravvissuto al mare, ma il suo sorriso è enorme. Nicolò sente che rischierebbe tutto, per non spegnere quel sorriso. Intorno a loro si estende l'hotspot di Samos, un posto che assomiglia all'inferno, in cui i profughi vivono ammassati nelle tende, senza acqua né luce, tra cumuli di immondizia.

Cretin High School, located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, was a Catholic, all-male, military academy that brought unique twists to the already difficult high school experience. Cretin Boys, as they were called, were subject to the oppression of both church and state as they navigated the diverse teaching styles of Christian Brothers, military instructors, and lay teachers. Cretin Boy looks at those menial first jobs, takes you dancing with a girl at that first high school formal, and peels down the street in a Corvette-on-loan with a teen at the wheel.
