Blood, Sweat, and Tears by Derrick E. White Pdf

Black college football began during the nadir of African American life after the Civil War. The first game occurred in 1892, a little less than four years before the Supreme Court ruled segregation legal in Plessy v. Ferguson. In spite of Jim Crow segregation, Black colleges produced some of the best football programs in the country. They mentored young men who became teachers, preachers, lawyers, and doctors--not to mention many other professions--and transformed Black communities. But when higher education was integrated, the programs faced existential challenges as predominately white institutions steadily set about recruiting their student athletes and hiring their coaches. Blood, Sweat, and Tears explores the legacy of Black college football, with Florida A&M's Jake Gaither as its central character, one of the most successful coaches in its history. A paradoxical figure, Gaither led one of the most respected Black college football programs, yet many questioned his loyalties during the height of the civil rights movement. Among the first broad-based histories of Black college athletics, Derrick E. White's sweeping story complicates the heroic narrative of integration and grapples with the complexities and contradictions of one of the most important sources of Black pride in the twentieth century.

Acoustic Soul by Meredith Pdf

This story is a biography of passion, perseverance, courage and destiny where a boy is suddenly transported onto a path that signifies a journey into manhood, empowering him to live up to some of the ideals he’d set for himself in an imagination stretched to serve God, family and country. It was high adventure being the son of a man educated by thousands of years of culture and tradition fighting for every breath of a brand-new tomorrow. With a sense of idealism and resilience Farooq would set his sights on a higher cause. A person can never become great unless they’re able to properly function under chaos. With many trials and tribulations as personal tutors, he had no choice but step out on faith and pave a better way for his family. His constitution anchored itself to the evolution of Yemen’s poetry. His manner was peaceful. With pain, purpose and rebellious hope he looked into his future with all the clarity of a crystal ball. He wasn’t the kind of boy looking to grow up living inside his father’s pockets. He would prepare himself for the music of tomorrow. His life had become a powerful soundtrack to an acoustic soul. So much to be had. So much to be cherished. So much to be thankful for. So much to know.

Fight Or Surrender by Charles E. Miller Pdf

He, Mme Pelosy, and their defeatist friends in the Senate delude themselves that Jihad Islam can be defeated, by Reid's own admission. We would have to "defeat the ideology." I have shown that it cannot be destroyed, that is, politically defeated. But it can be suppressed, condemned, invalidated, outlawed, innervated, even redirected, if not destroyed. Any one of these alternative redirections of Islamo-fascism would constitute, not a defeat, which is a delusion, but a partial victory, which is the best we can hope for, since only an omnipotent Christ has the power to change men's hearts before their minds. A tripartite state of Kurds, Shiites, and Sunnis would be a partial victory. That state's goals can be humanitarian rather than materialistic, although such a mixed people would appreciate certain modern conveniences like ice, electricity, plumbing, modern medicine, clean water, comfortable housing, security, social comity. These are all extraneous of the glut of Western-style materialism. The point of my thesis is that only a delusional destruction can ever absolutely defeat the ideology once it is constructed in the minds of men. Therefore, victory resides in the acceptance, cooperative attainment, and enjoyment of these amenities of civilized humankind. We will leave when the Iraqi people, under their own self-protection, show a willingness to institute these changes in their culture. That route is for our own protection, for already there are formed up some two dozen terrorist training camps in this country, waiting for the signs of our weakness to heighten their violence and release death and chaos.

Quotology by Willis Goth Regier Pdf

Erasmus advised readers to learn quotations by heart and copy them everywhere: write them in the front and back of books; inscribe them on rings and cups; paint them on doors and walls, ?even on the glass of a window.? Emerson noted that ?in Europe, every church is a kind of book or bible, so covered is it with inscriptions and pictures.? In Arabic script as tall as a man, the Koran is quoted on the walls and domes of mosques. ø We quote to admire, provoke, commemorate, dispute, play, and inspire. Quotations signal class, club, clique, and alma mater. They animate wit, relay prophecies, guide meditation, and accessorize fashion. ø In Quotology Willis Goth Regier draws on world literature and contemporary events to show how vital quotations are, how they are collected and organized, and how deceptive they can be. He probes all these aspects, identifying fifty-nine types of quotations, including misquotations and anonymous sayings. Following the logic of quotology, Quotology concludes with famous last words.

Don't Stick to Sports by Derek Charles Catsam Pdf

A significant examination of how athletes have fought for inclusion and equality on and off the playing field, despite calls for them to “stick to sports.” The claim that sports are—or ought to be—apolitical has itself never been an apolitical position. Rather, it is a veiled attempt to control which politics are acceptable in the athletic realm, a designation intricately linked to issues of race, gender, ethnicity, and more. In Don't Stick to Sports: The American Athlete’s Fight against Injustice, Derek Charles Catsam carefully explores this disparity. He looks at how, throughout recent sports history in the United States, minority athletes have had to fight every step of the way for their right to compete, and how they continue to fight for equity today. From African Americans and women to LGBTQ+ and religious minorities, Catsam shows how these athletes have taken a stand to address the underlying injustices in sports and society despite being told it’s not their place to do so. While it’s impossible for a single book to tell the entire history of exclusion in the sporting world, Don’t Stick to Sports looks at key moments from the World War I era to the present to shatter the myth of sports as a meritocracy, of sports-as-equalizer, highlighting the reality as something far more complicated—of sports as a malleable world where exclusion and inclusion are rarely straight-forward.

Don't You Know There's A War On? by Nigel Rees Pdf

Nigel Rees presents a nostalgic and witty guide to wartime catchphrases, from the now ubiquitous 'Keep Calm and Carry On' to lesser-known gems such as 'lions led by donkeys'. Following his hugely popular survey of domestic sayings, More Tea Vicar?, Rees returns with a witty and fascinating examination of the catchphrases that saw us through wartime Britain and are still relevant in times of crisis today. Including domestic phrases of the time, propaganda, and slang developed by soldiers abroad, the book describes the provenance and development of these intriguing, quirky and sometimes crude phrases that were born out of times of conflict and have in many cases become part of our language.
