Freedom, Racism, and Reconstruction

Collected Writings of LaWanda Cox

By: LaWanda C. Fenlason Cox

LaWanda Cox is widely regarded as one of the most influential historians of Reconstruction and nineteenth-century race relations. Imaginative in conception, forcefully argued, and elegantly written, her work helped reshape historians' understanding of the age of emancipation. Freedom, Racism, and Reconstruction brings together Cox's most important writings spanning more than forty years, including previously published essays, excerpts from her books, and an unpublished essay. Now retired from Hunter College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, Cox gave Donald G. Nieman her full cooperation on this project. The result is a cohesive book of refreshing and sophisticated analysis that illuminates a pivotal era in American history. It not only serves as a lasting testament to a highly original scholar but also makes available to readers a remarkable body of scholarship that remains required reading for anyone who wishes to understand the age of emancipation and the historian's craft.

Lincoln and Black Freedom

A Study in Presidential Leadership

By: LaWanda Cox

Reveals the political savvy and egalitarian convictions behind Lincoln's racial policies In the midst of America's civil rights movement, historians questioned the widely-held belief that Abraham Lincoln was the "Great Emancipator." They pictured him as a white supremacist moved by political expediency to issue the Emacipation Proclamation. In Lincoln and Black Freedom LaWanda Cox, a leading Reconstruction historian, argues that Lincoln was a consistent friend of African-American freedom but a friend whose oblique leadership style often obscured the strength of his commitment. Cox reveals Lincoln's cautious rhetoric and policies as deliberate strategy to achieve his joint goals of union and emancipation, and she demonstrates that his wartime reconstruction efforts in Louisana moved beyond a limited concept of freedom for the former slaves. Cox's final chapter explores the "limits of the possible," concluding that had Lincoln lived through his second term, the conflict between his successor and Congress could have been avoided and the postwar Reconstruction might have resulted in a more lasting measure of justice and equality for African Americans. Lincoln emerges from Cox's study as a masterful politician whose sure grasp of the nature of presidential leadership speaks not only to the difficulties of his age but also to the challenges of our own time.

Stand Up, Speak Up, Because Your Time's Up

Restoring Hope in the Time of Adversity

By: LaWanda Lewis Burrell

Ananda was a shy, small town girl from Alabama, but had some big city dreams. She was the younger sister and always leaned on her big sister for guidance and support. When she got older she realized her sister, who she loved dearly wasn't always going to be around, and had to learn how to allow her voice to be heard and become independent. She was raised with a good upbringing from her parents, and sheltered from the evils of the world, but after persuading her parents to work during her teenage years, she experienced discrimination on her very first job, which truly scared her heart. This motivated her to do well in school, graduate from college, look for job opportunities, and move far away. Ananda soon realized after she moved that ignorant people lives everywhere. Her life is an emotional rollercoaster as she experiences childhood bullying, death of loved ones, lasting friendships, happiness, infidelity, forgiveness, health and safety, hardships, finding true love, harassment in the workplace and cherishing marriage and family. As she gets older she realizes that the ups and downs of life can be exhausting and sometimes a little ME time may be just what the doctor ordered. Ananda discovers that the power of prayer and having a voice to speak up is essential to her everyday life's journey, as she takes control of her destiny.

The Tithe Is Not 10% It Is 100%

By: Lawanda Scott

ARE YOU READY TO BE SET FREE? This book will help set captives free by providing understanding and wisdom concerning what God has done for you through Grace, by faith in his Son Jesus Christ, in regards to the Tithe. It will help you know that you are no longer under the curse of the law when 10% is not given. The body of Christ no longer needs to be in strife over this issue. This strife has been the work of the enemy. God will bring clarity to what he means about the different maturing levels you go through in this Christian journey. We all are on different levels of spiritual maturity -from milk to meat -levels. This simply means some of you are more mature and have a better and stronger understanding of certain topics of the bible than others according to his Grace at any given age in your lives. A new believer can be on a higher maturity level in their understanding of the word of God and the Grace of God than someone who has been saved for seventy years. How long one has been saved does not mean they are a more mature Christian in their understanding of the word of God or the Grace of God. We must grow from the milk stage to the meat stage in our understanding of this subject of Tithe. Understand we will forever be growing from faith to faith and from glory to glory until we meet Jesus face to face. Therefore, rather than walk with argument and disputes, let us run together this race with patience, understanding, prayer, and exhortation for one another. This book will give you a better understanding of what the Law of God given by Moses said and how the Grace of God given by faith in Jesus has fulfilled the law concerning this area of Tithe, as well as the areas of atonement money, redemption money, and ransom money. This book is a great resource to be used as an individual study, or as a cell group and Sunday School class discussion series. AGAIN. ARE YOU READY TO BE SET FREE?

Don't Follow Me

By: Dr. Lawanda Rutledge-Gordon

Leadership is one of the most diverse topics discussed in the corporate arena as well as ministry. We often describe the church as a business. If this is true, we really need to redefine the roots of our existence. As a body, what do we really believe? What makes a good leader? What do we need to do to nurture this in corporate America as well as the church? The meaning of leadership is broad but narrow enough to provide specific qualities. This book will explore the beliefs of several prominent leadership theories while providing meaning and understanding of various leadership styles. One of the major objectives of this book is to identify what makes a good leader. In the pages that follow, I will highlight my four principles of leadership within the church and corporate environment: the idea that leaders are examples; leaders are disciplined; leaders are servants; and leaders are honest and have integrity.
