Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

He's become a household name: Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr., the brilliant orator and legal strategist who captained the Dream Team in the trial of the century. But behind the man the media created is a story of a life spent in the trenches of the American legal system, fighting not for clients as high-profile as O. J. Simpson but for individuals whose voices are too often silenced. JOURNEY TO JUSTICE is an unflinching portrait of Johnnie Cochran and the legal system that he has so profoundly influenced. It will forever change our understanding of what works and what doesn't in America's most noble and troubling institution.

A Lawyer's Life

By: Johnnie Cochran,Johnnie L. Cochran,David Fisher

The most famous lawyer in America talks about the law, his life, and how he has won. Johnnie Cochran has been a lawyer for almost forty years. In that time, he has taken on dozens of groundbreaking cases and emerged as a pivotal figure in race relations in America. Cochran gained international recognition as one of America's best - and most controversial lawyers - for leading 'the Dream Team' defense of accused killer O.J. Simpson in the Trial of the Century. Many people formed their perception of Cochran based on his work in that trial. But long before the Simpson trial and since then Johnnie Cochran has been a leader in the fight for justice for all Americans. This is his story. Cochran emerged from the trial as one of the nation's leading African-American spokespersons - and he has done most of his talking through the courtroom. Abner Louima. Amadou Diallo. The racially-profiled New Jersey Turnpike Four. Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. Patrick Dorismond. Cynthia Wiggins. These are the names that have dominated legal headlines - and Cochran was involved with each of them. No one who first encountered him during the Simpson trial can appreciate his impact on our world until they've read his whole story. Drawing on Cochran's most intriguing and difficult cases, A Lawyer's Life shows how he's fought his critics, won for his clients, and affected real change within the system. This is an intimate and compelling memoir of one lawyer's attempt to make us all truly equal in the eyes of the law.

Guns Up!

A Firsthand Account of the Vietnam War

By: Johnnie Clark

THIS GUT-WRENCHING FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT OF THE WAR IS A CLASSIC IN THE ANNALS OF VIETNAM LITERATURE. "Guns up!" was the battle cry that sent machine gunners racing forward with their M60s to mow down the enemy, hoping that this wasn't the day they would meet their deaths. Marine Johnnie Clark heard that the life expectancy of a machine gunner in Vietnam was seven to ten seconds after a firefight began. Johnnie was only eighteen when he got there, at the height of the bloody Tet Offensive at Hue, and he quickly realized the grim statistic held a chilling truth. The Marines who fought and bled and died were ordinary men, many still teenagers, but the selfless bravery they showed day after day in a nightmarish jungle war made them true heroes. This new edition of Guns Up!, filled with photographs and updated information about those harrowing battles, also contains the real names of these extraordinary warriors and details of their lives after the war. The book's continuing success is a tribute to the raw courage and sacrifice of the United States Marines.

Systemic Racism in the United States

Scaffolding as Social Construction

By: Robbie W.C. Tourse,Johnnie Hamilton-Mason,Nancy J. Wewiorski

Tourse, Hamilton-Mason, and Wewiorski discuss major concepts that help explicate the systemic nature of institutionalized racism in the U.S. – with a focus on social construction, oppression, scaffolding, and institutional web – providing insight into racist thought and behavior that construct and mark people of color as 'a problem.' [...] I highly recommend this book for those who are engaged in working to combat domination and racism at the local, national, and global levels." -Gary Bailey, DHL, MSW, ACSW, Professor of Practice, Director of Urban Leadership Program, Simmons College School of Social Work This important volume provides a powerful overview of racism in the United States: what it is, how it works, and the social, cultural, and institutional structures that have evolved to keep it in place. It dissects the rise of legalized discrimination against four major racial groups (First Nations, Africans, Mexicans, and Chinese) and its perpetuation as it affects these groups and new immigrants today. The book’s scaffolding framework—which takes in institutions from the government to our educational systems—explains why racism remains in place despite waves of social change. At the same time, authors describe social justice responses being used to erode racism in its most familiar forms, and at its roots. This timely resource: Examines the sociology of discrimination as a constant in daily life. Traces the history of the legalization of racism in the United States. Locates key manifestations of racism in the American psyche. Links racism to other forms of discrimination. Identifies the interlocking components of institutionalized racism. Offers contemporary examples of resistance to racism. A forceful synthesis of history and social theory, Systemic Racism in the United States is vital reading for practitioners and other professionals in fields related to human rights, social policy, and psychology. And as a classroom text, it challenges its readers to deepen their understanding of both historical process and current developments.

Gunner's Glory

Untold Stories of Marine Machine Gunners

By: Johnnie Clark

They were warriors, trained to fight, dedicated to their country, and determined to win. At Guadalcanal, the Marine Corps’ machine gunners took everything the Japanese could throw at them in one of the bloodiest battles of World War II; their position was so hopeless that at one point they were given the go-ahead to surrender. Near the Chosin Reservoir in Korea, as the mercury dropped to twenty below, the 1st Marine Division found itself surrounded and cut off by the enemy. The outlook seemed so bleak that many in Washington had privately written off the men. But surrender is not part of a Marine’s vocabulary. Gunner’s Glory contains true stories of these and other tough battles in the Pacific, in Korea, and in Vietnam, recounted by the machine gunners who fought them. Bloody, wounded, sometimes barely alive, they stayed with their guns, delivering a stream of firepower that often turned defeat into victory–and always made them the enemy’s first target.

Masked

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Masked

By: Johnnie Mae Boutwell

I'm what's called high masking, meaning I'm very good at hiding my autistic traits. Once I knew what masking was, once I began to learn how to recognize my own mask and to see all the ways that I was pretending, I realized so many of these poems are a reflection of the pain and turmoil that result from heavy masking. I want to honor this part of myself. This past version of me who was trapped, raging against the mask she did not know was there, stifled beneath the pressure to perform for society the role she was assigned. This volume is an eclectic collection of prose, traditional poetry, and stream-of-conscious realizations. In keeping with the unmoored chaos that was my mental state, which, in retrospect, was indicative of my unrealized self, held captive by an alien society, you will find that the themes present in this volume range wildly and without order. From vicious self-abasement to whimsical fancy and all that lies in between. As an autistic individual, I often struggle to both understand and communicate my own emotional state. Consequently, my poetry is largely experimental, raw, and often off the cuff.

Ethical Issues for Esl Faculty

Social Justice in Practice

By: Johnnie Johnson Hafernik,Dorothy S. Messerschmitt,Stephanie Vandrick

This book explicitly addresses ethical dilemmas and issues that post-secondary ESL faculty commonly encounter and examines them in the framework of social justice concerns. Ethics is defined broadly, to include responsibilities and obligations to students inside and outside the classroom, as well to colleagues, educational institutions, the TESL profession, and society as a whole. Scenarios in each chapter provide realistic and compelling situations for reflection and discussion. The authors then set out the issues raised, relate them to the classroom environment, and offer opportunities to examine them in a variety of contexts and to consider possible solutions to the dilemmas. Issues include testing, plagiarism, technology, social and political issues affecting students and the classroom, gift-giving, curriculum decisions, disruptive students, institutional constraints, academic freedom, gender, class, and power. Busy classroom instructors will find this book accessible, thought-provoking, and relevant to their daily work situations. It is not intended as a theoretical treatment of ethics and social justice in ESL, nor does it propose that ESL faculty teach morals or ethics to students. Rather, it is designed as a concise, practical introduction to ethical practice for both new and experienced ESL faculty in post-secondary teaching situations in the United States, for others interested in the ESL classroom, and as a text for TESL classes and seminars. Ethical Issues for ESL Faculty: *maps new territory in the field--ethical issues in TESL, particularly as encountered by post-secondary classroom teachers, are not often discussed in ESL publications; *makes the complex issues of ethics in the context of social justice accessible to TESL practitioners; and *includes useful resources, such as additional scenarios for discussion, an extensive reference list, and selected ethics-related Web sites.

Classic Recipes From the South's Best Down-Home Cooks

Johnnie Gabriel knows a thing or two about cooking for Southerners. The author of two cookbooks, Cooking in the South and Second Helpings, does it every day at Gabriel’s, her restaurant and bakery in Marietta, Georgia. In How to Cook Like a Southerner, Gabriel isn’t just sharing her recipes; she’s taking her Southern expertise to the next level, offering step-by-step photos for 35 of the most iconic Southern dishes, curating and testing over one hundred recipes from some of the best and most gracious cooks in the South, and offering tips to help you dress up even the most basic recipes for special occasions. The art and science of cooking has come a long way, creating a gadget for everything from zesting fruit to cutting paper-thin slices of vegetables, but creating delicious Southern food for your family and friends doesn’t require fancy gadgets and high-tech kitchen appliances. Johnnie Gabriel says all you need is a cutting board, a sharp knife, a rolling pin, and a seasoned cast iron skillet, just like her mama did. And because classic Southern dishes were created to use the meats and vegetables that were available in the region, the recipes in How to Cook Like a Southerner call for ingredients you can find at your local grocery store or farmers’ market. No speciality stores or online searches needed. Making a homemade pie crust for the first time? Let Johnnie show you how. Do you wonder what the difference between a blond, peanut butter, and coffee roux is? How to Cook Like a Southerner will guide you through each level.

Situation Comedy

By: Johnnie Mortimer,Brian Cooke

Messrs. Mortimer and Cooke, the top writers of British television "sitcoms," have turned their delightful senses of humor loose on the stage. This live sitcom is about two authors of sitcoms who are stuck for a new idea. By a neatly contrived accident, each man finds himself getting drunk with the wrong wife. Macho man Charles Summerskill winds up with a hopelessly undomestic sexpot, who is so inept in the kitchen that she burns salad; whereas wimpy Arthur Grey finds himself with a prim and proper expert chef. Charles ends up with a buxom blond and indigestion; Arthur is eating well but is, well, sexually frustrated. Eventually, work forces Charles and Arthur together again, and they decide to create a new show based on the recent upheavals in their private lives.

The New Book of Christian Martyrs: The Heroes of Our Faith from the 1st Century to the 21st Century

By: Johnnie Moore,Jerry Pattengale

An inspiring keepsake that honors the heroic sacrifice of today's martyrs for the Christian faith--and shows how their actions mirror the courage of a long line of brave Christians. In the twenty-first century, we are witnessing an escalation in Christian persecution like we have rarely seen since the first century. Many people don't realize that today thousands of Christians are dying cruel deaths throughout much of the world. There were, in fact, more martyrs in the last century than in all the previous Christian centuries combined. Millions have given their lives since the fall of Rome, and today tens of thousands die annually for their faith in Jesus. Most of these modern stories are not legendary; in fact, many are unknown. The New Book of Christian Martyrs commemorates those modern-day heroes. In this update to Foxe's Book of Martyrs, Johnnie Moore and Jerry Pattengale highlight key martyrs of past centuries and feature stories of contemporary martyrs around the world. Through tears, Johnnie and Jerry offer this compendium of heroes from the first century to the twenty-first century, from Europe to Africa and from Asia to the Americas, to inspire Christians around the globe. Today, we live in solidarity with them and in the next life, we will rejoice by their side. We will never forget their sacrifice for the truth.

The Mission of Mormonism in Norway 1851-1920

A Study and Analysis of the Reception Process

By: Johnnie Glad

This work is a study and an analysis of the reception process from the time Mormonism first arrived in Norway in 1851 and up to the year 1920. The focus is on what took place when a religious majority was confronted with a different and minor religious movement that presented a message wrapped in terminology familiar to members of the Christian churches, but deviated to a large extent from accepted Christian doctrine as taught in the Lutheran State Church and other Christian churches. The study traces the debate aroused on account of the Mormon issue, throwing light on the civil and ecclesiastical authorities as well as on cultural, sociological, juridical and religious conditions of this period. The book includes a historical review of the establishment of the LDS Church in America, a chapter on the doctrinal foundation of Mormonism, a brief retrospect on the history of Mormonism in Norway, its mission strategy and the Millennium issue regarding Mormon emigration.

Raising Black Students' Achievement Through Culturally Responsive Teaching

By: Johnnie McKinley

In this book, Johnnie McKinley presents the results of her in-depth study of a group of teachers in grades 3 thru 8 who managed to radically narrow the achievement gap between their black and white students by using a set of culturally responsive strategies in their classrooms. McKinley uses the educators' own words and illustrative "virtual walkthroughs" of lessons in action to examine these strategies in detail. In addition, the book includes * An overview of the research literature on effective responses to the achievement gap; * Instructions for conducting classroom walkthroughs, including a series of feedback forms that teachers can use to conduct walkthroughs in their schools; and * A comprehensive guide to the author's Teaming for Culturally Responsive Classrooms (TCRC) model—an innovative multistep framework for assessing the cultural responsiveness of teaching strategies in schools. Educators have been struggling for decades to remedy the disparity in academic outcomes between black and white students. This book shows how one remarkable group of teachers harnessed the power of culturally responsive teaching to do just that. By following the path outlined in Raising Black Students' Achievement Through Culturally Responsive Teaching, you too can help your black students to become engaged, self-confident, and successful learners.

The Bridge

Where Souls Connect

By: Johnnie Calloway

John Marshall has been through hell—and made it out alive. Following a troublesome childhood, he battled addiction as an adult but has now been a three-year member of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. He’s married and looking to give back as a way of thanking all the people who saved him as a troubled youth. He gets a job at Children’s Haven, an adolescent drug rehab center in Florida. He was hired for a very special reason. The higher-ups don’t want him for his flexible schedule but because of his personal experiences. Since many staff members don’t seem to care for the teens, John is the one who understands what they’re going through and can reach out on a personal level. There is nothing simple about recovery though. John has faced his demons, but he must now help others overcome their own problems. The patients struggle, as does the staff, through moments of pain and tragedy together. The Bridge is poignant, honest, and semiautobiographical as author Johnnie Calloway shares the fictionalized version of working through addiction in his own life.

My Quiet Fight for Home

By: Johnnie H. Calderone

Born profoundly deaf in one ear and about 50 percent HoH in the other, Johnnie suffered a fall at four years old. That fall resulted in his spending six years pinballing from hospital to hospital, enduring painful surgeries attempting to save his leg. As a result, he had no chance to develop basic communication skills until he entered Deaf school at age thirteen. One of his teachers there was Dr. McCay Vernon. It was at Deaf school that he developed interests in sports, math and science, and art. After graduation, Johnnie worked numerous hard labor jobs. In the days preceding OSHA, many of these jobs were dangerous, and Johnnie suffered several lifelong injuries, one of which dashed his hopes of succeeding as a professional athlete. With the help of Albert Greenberg, Colorado Department of Rehabilitation's first counselor for the Deaf, and Reverend DeMeree from Denver Temple Baptist Church, Johnnie developed a professional engineering career. He married and raised three boys. In cowriting the book, David Greenberg carries on the legacy of his father, Albert, and his mother, Joanne, writer of In This Sign and I Never Promised You a Rose Garden. Writing was only one of the skills David needed to master to complete this project. He's an accomplished ASL signer and a computer and communications engineer. Together, they created an inspirational and insightful book in casual, non-scholastic language that treats the reader like a friend. Written in first-person, from the emotional perspective, My Quiet Fight for Home emphasizes Johnnie's lifelong efforts to develop communication and career skills, as well as essential character traits, like honesty, courage, kindness, and loyalty.
