Fisher, Betty Kilby Wit, Will & Walls
Euless, Texas, U.S.A. Cultural Innovations Inc 2002 097257090x / 9780972570909 Trade Paperback Very Good
This book is in very good condition having minor cover wear and light corner crease and a few dog ear pages. ***** ""Wit, Will & Walls" is a powerful epic of an African American family's struggle for equality. Betty Kilby was an "infant plaintiff" in the, Betty Ann Kilby vs. Warren County Board of Education, which followed the landmark Supreme Court case Brown Vs. the Board of Education. The Kilby family struggle started long before, when her father, James Kilby, took on Old Virginia's deeply rooted apartheid system. James Kilby had been raised in what can only be called inter-generational semi-slavery on a farm in Rappahanock County. Like his father, he had worked at the owner's beck and call essentially for room, board and the occasional dollar. Ultimately, James Kilby stood up and led his family on their journey through terror, isolation and repeated defeats toward educational opportunity equal to that of white society."

Joe William Trotter (editor) Earl Lewis (editor) Tera W. Hunter (editor) African American Urban Experience: Perspectives from the Colonial Period to the Present
Gordonsville, Virginia, U.S.A. Palgrave Macmillan 2004 0312294654 / 9780312294656 Trade Paperback Very Good
Nice clean book in very good condition. Underlining on about half dozen or so pages. ****** " Although African Americans have lived in cities since the colonial era, the transformation of rural blacks into a predominantly urban people is largely a twentieth century phenomenon. Only during World War I did African Americans move into cities in large numbers, and only during World War II did more blacks reside in cities than in the countryside. In their quest for full citizenship rights, economic democracy, and release from an oppressive rural past, black southerners turned to urban migration and employment in the nation's industrial sector as a new "Promised Land". In this ground-breaking text, the work of fifteen top scholars provides a truly interdisciplinary examination of these transformations in African American urban life. Bringing together urban history; contemporary social, cultural, and policy research; and comparative perspectives on race, ethnicity, and nationality within and across national boundaries, the editors have organized this innovative volume in a three part structure ideal for classroom use. The first section provides historical perspectives, the second employs social scientific approaches, and the third offers compares the African American experience to those of other ethnic groups in twentieth-century America using the lens of race and class.

Ptah, Heru Hip-hop Story, A
Pocket Books 2006 1416527036 / 9781416527039 Mass Market Good
This book is in very good condition. Minor Shelfware. ******** " Rappers Flawless and Hannibal are two talented young men moving toward the same dream: to be the best, to take over the world, to see the big picture, to become the most respected rap artists of their generation. Along the way, they battle the business of mainstream hip-hop, industry honchos, crazy fans, and — most of all — each other. Caught up in their intense rivalry are Erika, Flawless's sister, and Micah, Hannibal's protegé, two young lovers whose loyalties toward each rapper threaten to ruin their future together. A vivid journey through the underworld of urban music, it is a West Side Story remixed to the movement of hip-hop; a story of desire and dreams, all tied to the beat of hip-hop eternal."
