West Virginia is hidden, and nothing is more hidden than the lives of its women. Four different women “speak their piece” in this novel: Lorraine: a daughter abandoned by her mother. Carmen: a mother who tries to explain. Jenna: the young daughter who, in a desperate effort to alleviate her mother’s pain, falls flat when confronted by an unexpected reality. Lizzie: the furious source, who, though dead, lives and moves within each relationship, the strength of her memories spanning generations. A tour de force of Appalachian life beginning in the early 1900’s unto the present day. This Will Never Stop is a must read for fans of Appalachian fiction and the women who struggle within the confines a culture which not only resists change, but resists them. ____________________ Cover Design by Ashley Belote

Seattle in Black and White

The Congress of Racial Equality and the Fight for Equal Opportunity

By: Joan Singler,Jean C. Durning,Bettylou Valentine,Martha (Maid) J. Adams

Seattle was a very different city in 1960 than it is today. There were no black bus drivers, sales clerks, or bank tellers. Black children rarely attended the same schools as white children. And few black people lived outside of the Central District. In 1960, Seattle was effectively a segregated town. Energized by the national civil rights movement, an interracial group of Seattle residents joined together to form the Seattle chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). Operational from 1961 through 1968, CORE had a brief but powerful effect on Seattle. The chapter began by challenging one of the more blatant forms of discrimination in the city, local supermarkets. Located within the black community and dependent on black customers, these supermarkets refused to hire black employees. CORE took the supermarkets to task by organizing hundreds of volunteers into shifts of continuous picketers until stores desegregated their staffs. From this initial effort CORE, in partnership with the NAACP and other groups, launched campaigns to increase employment and housing opportunities for black Seattleites, and to address racial inequalities in Seattle public schools. The members of Seattle CORE were committed to transforming Seattle into a more integrated and just society. Seattle was one of more than one hundred cities to support an active CORE chapter. Seattle in Black and White tells the local, Seattle story about this national movement. Authored by four active members of Seattle CORE, this book not only recounts the actions of Seattle CORE but, through their memories, also captures the emotion and intensity of this pivotal and highly charged time in America’s history.
