Fannie Lou Hamer

The Life of a Civil Rights Icon

By: Earnest N. Bracey

This book explores the life of one of Mississippi's greatest civil rights activists, Fannie Lou Hamer. Known for her daring, her brinkmanship and her impassioned speech-making, Hamer rose to prominence in the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, an intrepid group which tried to unseat the predominantly white Democrats of Mississippi during the 1964 Democratic National Convention. She is particularly remembered for her speech before the Credentials Committee, seeking to end all-white representation of her home state. Hamer fought her entire life to expand freedom and basic rights to African Americans in the United States.

Cincinnati

The World War II Years

By: Robert Earnest Miller

Cincinnati: The World War II Years explores a significant chapter in the history of greater Cincinnati: the time before, during, and immediately after World War II. The book, spanning from 1937 to 1955, examines trends in the social, political, and cultural history of the city and surrounding communities. Events transpiring in Cincinnati mirrored changes that the United States experienced during this pivotal period--the Great Depression, isolationist impulses, the mobilization for war, and the postwar economic boom. Because Cincinnati's war years so closely reflect larger national trends of the time, the story of this city's home front experience serves as an insightful case study of the national war experience.

The Moulin Rouge and Black Rights in Las Vegas

A History of the First Racially Integrated Hotel-Casino

By: Earnest N. Bracey

Originally opened in May 1955, the Moulin Rouge Hotel and Casino quickly rose in popularity as Las Vegas' first racially-integrated hotel and casino. Sammy Davis, Jr., Louis Armstrong, and other A-list black singers and musicians performed at the Moulin Rouge on a regular basis, and for once they were allowed to spend the night in the same hotel where they performed. This book explains the important role that the hotel-casino played in early desegregation efforts in Las Vegas. With the Moulin Rouge as the backdrop, it provides an analysis of the evolution of race-relations in Las Vegas, including a detailed account of the landmark 1960 desegregation agreement. Finally, it examines recent efforts to rebuild and renovate the historic establishment.

“Soapy”

An Authorized Biography of Earnest O. (Soapy) Gillam

By: C. A. Sellers,Earnest O. Gillam

First published in 1958, this book is a biography of Fort Worth businessman Earnest O. (Soapy) Gillam, who rose from humble beginnings to become America’s best known independent soap manufacturer. “‘Every generation or so, someone should sit down and sum up the history of a family so it can be passed down to future generations.’ “The man who spoke these words early in 1957 was Earnest О. Gillam, the subject of this book. His words are the reason for this book, written at his request to “sum up” his life and times and to put into permanent record all that is known of his ancestors “There was a note of urgency in Gillam’s decision to publish this book He is the last of his family likely to bear the name of Gillam. His sisters gave birth to boys, but he and his brothers have no male lineage to perpetuate the Gillam name. So his branch of the Gillam family will end with his death. At least, the part of family bearing the name of Gillam will end. “The remarkable history of the Gillams in general, and E. O. Gillam in particular, made this publication a must—a must for a permanent history of this remarkable family, and a must to emphasize once again that Horatio Alger-type men are still to be found in our land. For Gillam started life during the hardest times imaginable—on the frontier of Kansas—and by tireless” efforts of body and mind, managed to accumulate a fortune. “He spent years gathering information for this book, a lifetime in fact....”—C. A. Sellers

Criminal justice professionals are confronted with crisis situations on a daily basis in an era when crime ranks in the forefront of domestic social issues, and the administration of criminal justice is a major concern of public officials and the public. This expanded new edition delves into the historical perspective of crisis intervention and examines the advancements that have been made in order to reflect the latest developments in the field. It is intended for pre-service and in-service criminal justice and social service crisis interveners who come into contact with victims of domestic/spouse abuse, child abuse and neglect, rape and sexual assault, loss of a loved one, or any other type of crisis. This book deals extensively with the special considerations involved in intervening in nonsecure field settings and provides an updated strategy for teaching crisis intervention in the criminal justice curriculum. Step-by-step procedures and numerous examples and role-plays teach readers how to intervene in crises. The intervener is also provided information on self assessment in a field setting and coping with the stresses of frontline work. A statement of objectives, a summary, and learning activities are included in each chapter. The appendices include useful World Wide Web sites, guidelines and scenarios for role-plays, and course outlines for instructors.

Flying Leaves and One-sheets

Pennsylvania German Broadsides, Fraktur, and Their Printers

By: Russell D. Earnest,Corinne P. Earnest,Edward L. Rosenberry

The 134 illustrations in Flying Leaves and One-Sheets demonstrate the typographical skills of German-language printers in North America from the mid 1750s to 1876. Selected for graphic appeal, range of subject matter, and historic interest, these broadsides show the attitudes and literary appetites of Pennsylvania Germans as expressed in printed matter. Known for their love of color and decoration, Pennsylvania Germans often hand-illuminated broadsides so that many are classified as fraktur. Flying Leaves and One-Sheets will appeal to readers in Pennsylvania German visual arts, culture, and history."--BOOK JACKET.

Once Upon A Time in the Past

The Sons of Sam Logan

By: Earnest "Tex" Sims Sr.

In three books I tried to capture all aspects of the Old West—the rowdy towns, saloons, prostitutes, homesteaders, cattle ranchers, cattle rustlers, cattle drives, stampedes, canvas-covered wagons, wagon trains, wild horses, cowboys, Indians, miners and prospectors, fur traders, claimjumpers, sheriffs, outlaws, gunfighters, railroads and trains, stagecoaches, banks and holdups, love, life, and death—when I wrote the trilogy of “Once Upon A Time In The Past”. Book One of Once Upon A Time in the Past, subtitled “The Sons Of Sam Logan”—involves four young boys, Chance William, Burt Wiley, Peter Wallace and Jesse Lee “Boots” Logan, a black youth who adopts the Logan name, who grows up and become outlaws—opens circa 1890 in Payton, Kansas: Rancher Clay Miller sat behind his desk staring at four miniature porcelain horses: a black and white piebald; black, white-rump appaloosa; golden palomino with a white blazed face; and a black stallion with a diamond-shaped white dot on its forehead. The rancher’s eyes then stared down at a necklace made with pure gold nuggets wedged together on a long string of rawhide-leather with a black, genuine Indian arrowhead at the end. He reached down and picked the necklace up. A shadow of sudden gloominess crossed his face as he gazed at the necklace. A finger fiddled unconsciously with the arrowhead dangling at the end of it, as he held the necklace in his hands, staring into space. The necklace brought back memories of the past—good times and bad times. His thoughts wiggled and waggled as his recollections took him back into time long before he was a man:

All Right Let Them Come

The Civil War Diary of an East Tennessee Confederate

By: John Guilford Earnest,Charles Swift Northen

All Right Let Them Come offers rare observations into the life of an East Tennessee Confederate soldier, John G. Earnest, and the events surrounding his involvement in the transfer to the western Confederate front and the siege of Vicksburg. The passages on the fighting at Chickasaw Bayou and at Big Black Bridge near Vicksburg cast light on the East Tennessee confederates military defects, Which Earnest suggests may have come from a lack of training and discipline, in addition to the region s sharply divided loyalties to the Union and Confederacy and the fact that these soldiers were moved great distances from the homelands they had volunteers to defend. Earnest s diary provides a readable account of the day-to-say life of a low-ranking officer. Material on the routines of camp life, on the limitations of the transportation system, which hindered the South s war efforts, and on travel across the western Confederacy address the lack of provisions, deficits in the Confederate soldiers discipline and morale, and the South s difficulties in maintaining a cohesive, powerful fighting force in the Western Theater. The Author: Charles Swift Northen III is a retired investment manager who lives in Birmingham, Alabama. John G. Earnest was his great-grandfather.

The Big Black Three and Other Short Stories

By: Earnest N. Bracey

Despite the seemingly endless obstacles placed in their paths for centuries, African Americans have somehow survived, even in a polarized country, while bravely confronting white prejudice, racial injustice, and discrimination. In a volume of ten stories, Earnest Bracey shares insight into the lives of diverse characters often uplifted by rhythm and blues music while facing terrible domestic situations, death, and racism in a harsh and complex world. David Moore, the Reverend Anthony Jones, and Randall Smith are all battling internal demons when they are committed to the same mental hospital and form an alliance. While growing up in Louisiana, Jason Little is labeled a sissy by the neighborhood Black boys. But what no one knows is that he has gifted fingers. Betty Brown has the voice of an angel. As she transforms into a fabulous gospel singer, Betty must harbor a horrifying secret that ultimately robs her of her voice. The Big Black Three and Other Short Stories is a collection of candid, sometimes haunting tales that address the suffering, struggles, and other deprivations of African Americans.
