A Dandelion for Dereau by Lansford O'Dell Lilly Pdf

A story about the American South; how an interracial group of young and old flee Sheridan's burning of the Shenandoah Valley during the Civil War, and settle together in West Virginia. The story is interwoven with clandestine interracial love affairs and marriages, the miracles and bigotry of old-time religions, corrupt back-hills justice, wars, and the aftermath of wars. Murders, rapes, and other injustices are often never known by the "law", but are met with heavy vengeance in the quiet of the hills. There is also some humor. This is a tale of days gone by, but not so far gone that we cannot still get glimpses of them; a down-home story about love, honor, faith, courage, patriotism, and loyalty, that follows the group and their descendants from the early 1800's to the late 1940's.

March of the Falsettos by William Finn Pdf

March of the Falsettos" is the title song of this act of the show. William Finn planned on calling the show "The Pettiness of Misogyny", but then he decided to go with a less direct and more subtle title, calling it "March of the Falsettos". But what does the title mean? The central theme of the show is the characters lack of maturity (as they also state themselves in this song) and their journey of growing out of their childish behavior. Something that for instance Marvin needs to do to be the father Jason needs. Jason, whose voice hasn't yet changed, sings an octave higher than the other three men throughout the show. This is the only song, that all four men sing in the same register, since Marvin, Medel and Whizzer sing in the falsetto, losing the symbol of manhood - their changed voices. None of these men have grown up yet. All of them are still very self-centered, self-involved and insist on getting whatever they want. The "March of the Falsettos" is their journey from childhood to becoming adults.

Breathe by Imani Perry Pdf

2020 Chautauqua Prize Finalist 2020 NAACP Image Award Nominee - Outstanding Literary Work (Nonfiction) Best-of Lists: Best Nonfiction Books of 2019 (Kirkus Reviews) · 25 Can't-Miss Books of 2019 (The Undefeated) Explores the terror, grace, and beauty of coming of age as a Black person in contemporary America and what it means to parent our children in a persistently unjust world. Emotionally raw and deeply reflective, Imani Perry issues an unflinching challenge to society to see Black children as deserving of humanity. She admits fear and frustration for her African American sons in a society that is increasingly racist and at times seems irredeemable. However, as a mother, feminist, writer, and intellectual, Perry offers an unfettered expression of love—finding beauty and possibility in life—and she exhorts her children and their peers to find the courage to chart their own paths and find steady footing and inspiration in Black tradition. Perry draws upon the ideas of figures such as James Baldwin, W. E. B. DuBois, Emily Dickinson, Toni Morrison, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Ida B. Wells. She shares vulnerabilities and insight from her own life and from encounters in places as varied as the West Side of Chicago; Birmingham, Alabama; and New England prep schools. With original art for the cover by Ekua Holmes, Breathe offers a broader meditation on race, gender, and the meaning of a life well lived and is also an unforgettable lesson in Black resistance and resilience.
