Origins

By: Cheryl Lynn

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Every family has its legends and myths—a history filtered through the lens of beliefs and values and embroidered for retelling. This origin story is of the fictional Davis family, English immigrants determined to farm in Canada’s North-West Territory. It is the story of two brothers, Sam and John, whose lives are shaped and defined by their father’s ambition, political and social unrest, and the impact of wars at home and abroad. William, the family patriarch, is obsessed with breaking free of his humble beginnings, achieving his goals and proving he is more than just a “foundling.” William’s ambition generates continual conflict between his sons. His determination to succeed results in Sam narrowly escaping death as a child soldier in the North-West Rebellion of 1885 and fast-tracks John to adult responsibilities. Inspired by his father’s ambitions and need for adventure, Sam heads to South Africa’s battlefields in 1899 while John struggles to secure the family’s fortunes on the homefront. The Magpie’s Tales are of resilience and ambition, separation, love and tragedy set in Canada’s North-West at the beginning of the settlement.

A Day I Ain't Never Seen Before

Remembering the Civil Rights Movement in Marks, Mississippi

By: Joe Bateman,Cheryl Lynn Greenberg

The Black people of Marks, Mississippi, and other rural southern towns were the backbone of the civil rights movement, yet their stories have too rarely been celebrated and are, for the most part, forgotten. Part memoir, part oral history, and part historical study, A Day I Ain’t Never Seen Before tells the story of the struggle for equality and dignity through the words of these largely unknown men and women and the civil rights workers who joined them. Deeply rooted in documentary and archival sources, this book also offers extensive suggestions for further readings on both Marks and the civil rights movement. Set carefully within its broader historical context, the narrative begins with the founding of the town and the oppressive conditions under which Black people lived and traces their persistent efforts to win the rights and justice they deserved. In their own words, Marks residents describe their lives before, during, and after the activist years of the civil rights movement, bolstered by the voices of those like Joe Bateman who arrived in the mid-1960s to help. Voter registration projects, white violence, sit-ins, arrests, school desegregation cases, community-organizing meetings, protest marches, Freedom Schools, door-to-door organizing—all of these played out in Marks. The broader civil rights movement intersects many of these local efforts, from Freedom Summer to the War on Poverty, from the death of a Marks man on the March against Fear (Martin Luther King Jr. preached at his funeral) to the Poor People’s Movement, whose Mule Train began in Marks. At each point Bateman and local activists detail how they understood what they were doing and how each protest action played out. The final chapters examine Marks in the aftermath of the movement, with residents reflecting on the changes (or lack thereof ) they have seen. Here are triumphs and beatings, courage and infighting, surveillance and—sometimes— lasting progress, in the words of those who lived it.

Troubling the Waters

Black-Jewish Relations in the American Century

By: Cheryl Lynn Greenberg

Was there ever really a black-Jewish alliance in twentieth-century America? And if there was, what happened to it? In Troubling the Waters, Cheryl Greenberg answers these questions more definitively than they have ever been answered before, drawing the richest portrait yet of what was less an alliance than a tumultuous political engagement--but one that energized the civil rights revolution, shaped the agenda of liberalism, and affected the course of American politics as a whole. Drawing on extensive new research in the archives of organizations such as the NAACP and the Anti-Defamation League, Greenberg shows that a special black-Jewish political relationship did indeed exist, especially from the 1940s to the mid-1960s--its so-called "golden era"--and that this engagement galvanized and broadened the civil rights movement. But even during this heyday, she demonstrates, the black-Jewish relationship was anything but inevitable or untroubled. Rather, cooperation and conflict coexisted throughout, with tensions caused by economic clashes, ideological disagreements, Jewish racism, and black anti-Semitism, as well as differences in class and the intensity of discrimination faced by each group. These tensions make the rise of the relationship all the more surprising--and its decline easier to understand. Tracing the growth, peak, and deterioration of black-Jewish engagement over the course of the twentieth century, Greenberg shows that the history of this relationship is very much the history of American liberalism--neither as golden in its best years nor as absolute in its collapse as commonly thought.

Washing the Inside of the Cup

My Journey of Walking in the Spirit

By: Cheryl Lynn

This book is an account of the modern-day workings of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer who's completely surrendered to the Lord. It contains actual experiences of the manifestations of the gifts of the Spirit. It's a story about a young woman raised in a Christian home, then married into abuse. In her desperation, she cried out to her Father in heaven and completely surrendered her whole heart to Him. He in turn sent a river of grace, enabling her to be able to wash her heart (the inside of the cup) with the water of His word. This opened the door for her to find Jesus. While seeking the Lord, He gave her insight on how to train her mind to stay on Him and how to be led by the Spirit. He blessed her with insight and perfect peace in her heart and mind. The Lord showed her how to be an overcomer in this life. He protected her from danger and gave her the desires of her heart. The Lord blessed her for diligently seeking Him and revealed Himself to her in a vision. After twenty years in an abusive marriage, she made the choice to remove herself and her children out of it. The Lord continued to bless her and manifest His gifts through her. Her mind has stayed in perfect peace for over forty years. God's favor truly lasts a lifetime. This book was written in hopes that you will start seeking the Lord with all your heart, wash the inside of your cup, and start experiencing the gifts of the Spirit in a personal way. What are you waiting for? Start seeking Him! He loves you and wants to show Himself strong on your behalf.

The Revolution

Captain, Pirate, Heroine

By: Cheryl Bartlam Du bois,Deborah Ann Pawlak

In the mid-1840s, a best-selling novel, 'Fanny Campbell, The Female Pirate Captain: A Tale of The Revolution' took the country by storm. It sold more than 75,000 copies and marked the first time that a book featured a literary heroine who took charge of her own life by dressing as a man and going to sea. Fanny Campbell inspired many young girls and women of the Nineteenth Century. Now it's time for a new generation to hear Fanny's tall-tale and be inspired by her bravado and daring. To the Americans she was a Hero Privateer--to the British, a Pirate! Fanny Campbell found herself in the midst of a revolution when the British Colonies in the new world revolted against the Crown. Witnessing such rebellious acts as the Boston Tea Party and the Battle of Bunker Hill, she came of age and fell in love during perilous times. When her intended was captured and imprisoned in Cuba's La Cabana Fortress, she took to the high seas disguised as a man, commandeered a British brig, and orchestrated a daring rescue. Fighting, Pirates, rough waters, and English enemies, she commandeered two more British merchant vessels and sent a notorious Pirate ship full of buccaneers into eternity just in time to help the newly-formed American Navy with her spoils.

To Ask for an Equal Chance

African Americans in the Great Depression

By: Cheryl Lynn Greenberg

The Great Depression hit Americans hard, but none harder than African Americans and the working poor. To Ask for an Equal Chance explores black experiences during this period and the intertwined challenges posed by race and class. "Last hired, first fired," black workers lost their jobs at twice the rate of whites, and faced greater obstacles in their search for economic security. Black workers, who were generally urban newcomers, impoverished and lacking industrial skills, were already at a disadvantage. These difficulties were intensified by an overt, and in the South legally entrenched, system of racial segregation and discrimination. New federal programs offered hope as they redefined government's responsibility for its citizens, but local implementation often proved racially discriminatory. As Cheryl Lynn Greenberg makes clear, African Americans were not passive victims of economic catastrophe or white racism; they responded to such challenges in a variety of political, social, and communal ways. The book explores both the external realities facing African Americans and individual and communal responses to them. While experiences varied depending on many factors including class, location, gender and community size, there are also unifying and overarching realities that applied universally. To Ask for an Equal Chance straddles the particular, with examinations of specific communities and experiences, and the general, with explorations of the broader effects of racism, discrimination, family, class, and political organizing.

Grit, Not Glamour

A History of American Farm Women

By: Cheryl Mullenbach

Grit, Not Glamour celebrates the contributions of our foremothers--mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and neighbors--who devoted their lives to farming and ranching related pursuits. Some embraced their roles; others detested the life; but many would agree their contributions were minimized or overlooked. And the common practice of referring to them as "rancher's wife" or "farmerette" didn't quite do justice to their work. Men and women who spent their lives living and working on a family farm or ranch will relate to the emotions and exploits experienced by the women featured in Grit, Not Glamour. Town dwellers and urbanites two or three generations removed from the farm, ranch, or their rural communities and growing up hearing grandparents' and great-grandparents' stories will appreciate these women who may or may not resemble in any way their foremothers. City slickers who never spent a day on a farm or ranch, nor thought that life was in any way appealing will meet a community of spunky, brazen, plucky, hardworking gals who donned trousers every day, scraped cow dung from their boots every night, enjoyed a few hours of deep sleep afforded by hours in the fresh country air, only to rise early the next day and start all over again.
