The Sticks and Stones of Hannah Jones by Elizabeth Kathleen Pdf

Life isn't always fair. Some seem to skate through without a care, while others work from sunup to sundown barely keeping their head above water. Still, life is what you make it. Hard times aren't to be feared and good times aren't to be coveted. Hard times are exercises for faith and good times peaceful reposes. But, if we had nothing but ease, it would atrophy our spirits like too much sugar rots our teeth. Trials make us able to stand in the storm trusting God to bring us through. Hannah Jones and her family had hard times as a close neighbor in their home in the hollows of post-Depression West Virginia, but they refused to give in or give up. They refused to let coal dust and poverty wipe away their joy. They took each day as it came and looked for the hidden gems. In this story, her story, you will find that "" life is God's gift no matter what!

Supporting Children of Incarcerated Parents in Schools by Whitney Q. Hollins Pdf

Drawing on qualitative research conducted with young people in New York, this volume highlights the unique experiences of children of incarcerated parents (COIP) and counters deficit-based narratives to consider how young people’s voices can inform and improve educational support services. Supporting Children of Incarcerated Parents in Schools combines the author’s original research and personal experiences with an analysis of existing scholarship to provide unique insight into how COIP experience schooling in the United States. With a focus on the benefits of qualitative research for providing a more nuanced portrayal of these children and their experiences, the text foregrounds youth voices and emphasizes the resilience, maturity, and compassion which these young people demonstrate. By calling attention to the challenges that COIP face in and out of school, and also addressing associated issues around race and racism, the book offers large and small-scale changes that educators and other allies can use to better support children of incarcerated parents. This volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers interested in the sociology of education, race and urban education, and the impacts of parental incarceration specifically. It will also be of benefit to educators and school leaders who are supporting young people affected by these issues.

Debunking the 1619 Project by Mary Grabar Pdf

It’s the New “Big Lie” According the New York Times’s “1619 Project,” America was not founded in 1776, with a declaration of freedom and independence, but in 1619 with the introduction of African slavery into the New World. Ever since then, the “1619 Project” argues, American history has been one long sordid tale of systemic racism. Celebrated historians have debunked this, more than two hundred years of American literature disproves it, parents know it to be false, and yet it is being promoted across America as an integral part of grade school curricula and unquestionable orthodoxy on college campuses. The “1619 Project” is not just bad history, it is a danger to our national life, replacing the idea, goal, and reality of American unity with race-based obsessions that we have seen play out in violence, riots, and the destruction of American monuments—not to mention the wholesale rewriting of America’s historical and cultural past. In her new book, Debunking the 1619 Project, scholar Mary Grabar, shows, in dramatic fashion, just how full of flat-out lies, distortions, and noxious propaganda the “1619 Project” really is. It is essential reading for every concerned parent, citizen, school board member, and policymaker.
