Nearly everyone who played a significant role in the Watergate saga has been scrutinized except one key participant: night watchman Frank Wills. On the morning of June 17, 1972, in Washington D.C, the twenty-four-year-old security guard was on duty at the Watergate Office Building when he detected a break-in. A high school dropout with only a few hours of formal guard training, Wills alerted the police who caught five burglars, ultimately igniting a national political scandal that ended with the resignation of President Richard Nixon. The only African American identified with the Watergate affair, Frank Wills enjoyed a brief moment in the limelight, but was unable to cope with his newfound fame, living the remainder of his life in obscurity and poverty. Through exhaustive research and numerous interviews, the story of America's most famous night watchman finally has been told.

This book introduces America to the Black Reconstruction politicians who fought valiantly for the civil rights of all people—important individuals who have been ignored by modern historians as well as their contemporaries. Between 1865 and 1876, about 2,000 blacks held elective and appointive offices in the South, but these men faced astounding odds. They were belittled as corrupt and inadequate by their white political opponents, who used legislative trickery, libel, bribery, and brutal intimidation of their constituents to rob these black lawmakers of their base of support. Before Obama: A Reappraisal of Black Reconstruction-Era Politicians comprises two volumes that examine the leadership and contributions of black politicians during the Reconstruction era—diverse men whose efforts during Reconstruction should not be overlooked. Each biographical essay examines how each individual contributed to the Reconstruction Era and fostered the development of a parallel civil society within black communities, what influence his actions had on the future of blacks in politics, and why he has been ignored. This work also serves to set the record straight about these black politicians who are often scapegoated for the overall failure of the Reconstruction.

A forgotten history that explores how army veterans returning to reservation life after World War I transformed Native American identity Drawing from archival sources and oral histories, Thomas Grillot demonstrates how the relationship between Native American tribes and the United States was reinvented in the years following World War I. During that conflict, twelve thousand Native American soldiers served in the U.S. Army. They returned home to their reservations with newfound patriotism, leveraging their veteran cachet for political power and claiming all the benefits of citizenship--even supporting the termination policy that ended the U.S. government's recognition of tribal sovereignty.

From the Upstate to the Lowcountry, African Americans have had a gigantic impact on the Palmetto State. Unfortunately, their stories are often overshadowed. Collected here for the first time, this selection of essays by historian Damon L. Fordham brings these stories to light. Rediscover the tales of Samuel Smalls, the James Island beggar who inspired DuBose Heyward's Porgy, and Denmark Vesey, the architect of the great would-be slave rebellion of 1822. Learn about the blacks who lived and worked at what is now Mepkin Abbey, the Spartanburg woman who took part in a sit-in at the age of eleven and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s visit to Charleston in 1967. These articles are well-researched and provide an enlightening glimpse at the overlooked contributors to South Carolina's past.

Without a doubt, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; but a journey to hell and back, may never be a pleasant story to tell. By all human standards, it is undeniable that rising from the dungeons of bondage to the highest offices in the land is nothing short of a miracle. Similarly, rising from the doldrums of Apartheid to the highest offices in the land is equally, nothing short of a miracle. Similarly, rising from the gas chambers and concentration camps of Auschwitz back to the promise land is equally, nothing short of a miracle. But what is even more miraculous is that, such shameful atrocities and such heinous crimes against humanity have all happened in human society. Nevertheless, such amazing triumphs of good over evil and such astounding achievements of beleaguered people, from the most humble beginnings to the highest levels of human dignity, have also happened in human society. "Redemption of a Dream" is the story of one race of people, sent on a treacherous journey, centuries ago and yet, the essence of the story came to fulfillment right before our eyes, in this generation of our lifetime. This is a true story of the struggle for dignity among the various races, cultures, colors and religions within the largest melting pot on earth. Find out how the new world became a multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-colored and multi-religious society, even before the Union was formed. This story also chronicles the reflections, recollections and lamentations of the author. Born and raised in the Gold Coast colony, he came to America to fulfill his dream of higher education. He also recalls his childhood experiences during the first-ever transfer of power from colonial-rule to self-rule in the first-ever Democracy formed in black Africa in 1957. The author strikes an interesting similarity between himself and the father of the 44th President of the United States; each came to America in pursuit of his dream of college education and if all goes well; maybe experience the American Dream and let the chips fall where they may. Find out what happened in each of their separate lives in America. Get to the roots of the struggle; find out the true origin of the black American struggle for dignity. Find out how the stone that the builders rejected, became the cornerstone of the finest mansion in the land, build by slave labor, reserved for nobility and eventually occupied by descendants of the same slaves who built it. I grew up in the small canoe-fishing town of Christiansborg, Osu, on the Atlantic coast of West Africa. As a child, I was fortunate enough to attend the schools that the early Missionaries built during the colonial era. Growing up under the shadow of the infamous Christiansborg Castle; I quickly learnt what many in our community already knew. It was common knowledge that our peaceful and picturesque, seaside neighborhood, was one of the most vicious slave market centers in black Africa; next only to the iniquitous Cape Coast Castle; a few hundred miles west of my hometown and the notorious Elmina Castle, further to the west of my hometown. All three colossal castles, still stand today on the sandy shores and in the salt waters of the Atlantic Ocean; each colonial castle, acting as giant window, looking back in retrospect to the ills of the colonial era and the evils of the slavery era. I decided to write this book, "Redemption of a Dream", when America elected its first-ever African American president in almost three centuries. To me, this is the greatest and most significant change that ever happened since the new world was discovered. I wrote this book solely in honor of the brave heroes and legends of "The Struggle" from slavery to Presidency. Thanks for checking out my story and God bless.
