They Weathered the Storm

The Banks/Baldwin and Allied Families

By: Baldwin Ross Swift,Banks Walker Lockett

Tracing my ancestry was challenging and painful--yet, exciting. I encountered learning experiences at my every turn, and had to climb over many a brick wall during my research. I must say that my persistent, tireless efforts to achieve my goal proved beneficial and rewarding. This book has been written not only to spark an interest in its reader for family research, but also to document my gratitude for those who struggled and weathered the emotional storms and endured to strengthen and secure our family ties. Unlike the famous writer Alex Haley, I was unable to link my ancestors to the country of Africa. The trace only led me to the state of Georgia. Our ancestors had many shades of color--from ivory to chestnut, dark brown, and ebony. Hair was all ways from kinky to straight to curly. Eyes ranged from blue to grey and brown. And noses as well as ears showed up little all the way to big. There were high cheekbones on some and round faces on others. Some were tall, some short. I attribute their many features to the Caucasian, Creek, Cherokee, Blackfoot Indian, and the African American bloodline. I must note that no legal references were uncovered to verify the location from which our ancestors migrated. Information concerning our surnames--Banks, Walker, Ross, Swift, and Lockett--I leave for the future generation to uncover. I give each of you my blessings, and I assure you your discoveries will be worth the challenge of doing the job. In this book you will witness my research and view my memory. I hope that as you read it you will learn new aspects of yourself.

Perspectives from Criminology and Criminal Justice

By: Cyndi Banks,James Baker

Comparative, International and Global Justice: Perspectives from Criminology and Criminal Justice presents and critically assesses a wide range of topics relevant to criminology, criminal justice and global justice. The text is divided into three parts: comparative criminal justice, international criminology, and transnational and global criminology. Within each field are located specific topics which the authors regard as contemporary and highly relevant and that will assist students in gaining a fuller appreciation of global justice issues. Authors Cyndi Banks and James Baker address these complex global issues using a scholarly but accessible approach, often using detailed case studies. The discussion of each topic is a comprehensive contextualized account that explains the social context in which law and crime exist and engages with questions of explanation or interpretation. The authors challenge students to gain knowledge of international and comparative criminal justice issues and think about them in a critical manner. It has become difficult to ignore the global and international dimensions of criminal justice and criminology and this text aims to enhance criminal justice education by focusing on some of the issues engaging criminology worldwide, and to prepare students for a future where fields of study like transnational crime are unexceptional.

The 30-Day Journey to Loving the Woman in Me

By: Reyna Joy Banks

What is keeping you from falling in love with you?" You may not be able to answer this question just yet, but I challenge you to write it down in your journal, and when it comes to the appointed time . . . You will be able to answer this question and allow God to restore all that was lost so you can begin to love again, and most of all love you just the way you are! The 30-Day Journey to Loving the Woman in Me is a day-by-day process to help you take the steps necessary to be released into loving you in the way that is needed in order to be free, healed, and able to love others all around you past your own understanding. Most of you are thinking, "I do love myself, I love me some me, I am all for me, and I take care of me!" I can go on and on about what you think loving yourself is . . . My question to you now is, "How do you know you truly, genuinely and whole heartedly love you?" Before you answer that question take a look back on your past seasons in life and even some of your current seasons in your life. Step by step and day by day, I with God's guidance will help you get to that place by taking you on a journey of understanding the truth of what it takes to truly and wholeheartedly loving you. You may not want to go to certain places emotionally, but if you really want a change to come, you have to go to some of the most uncomfortable, darkest places and moments that tainted your love for you, and the love that God is offering to you and allow God to shine his light on each wound and each scar so you can be wiped clean and set free to love and be loved for eternity.
