Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

This book is a collection of true stories actually materialized at the beginning of Willie Wrights life, beginning with his childhood days and continues to the present day. The reason for documenting the predictions in these stories is to let the whole world know that such prophecy is real and that there are people who have these individual recognizable gifts. Witnesses have accounted for every prediction he has made in the past seventy years. These persons were told in plenty of time before the actual moment of each circumstance that would happen, sometimes as long as one and half months before the event and sometimes closer to the occurrence. These prophecies would come to him, no matter where he might have been, at any time. He really did not go seeking for the answers because the answers would be made known to him by means of supernatural power, God.

It Happened Just Like That

A Collection of True Stories

By: Willie Wright Sr.

The stories in this book are real. In 1942 at the age of five while sleeping across the hallway from my bedroom, a supernatural event occurred on a cold night in January when an angel awakened me by physically pulling the bedcover downward from my shoulder toward my feet. This person was standing on the right side of my bed, plainly in the dark of the night as a human being. My parents had no knowledge of what was happening. My life from this moment forward dealt with angels of Jesus Christ our Lord. Every story prophesized by angels in dreams, visions, and instant communications were always accurate. These true stories continue today.

African American Voices from Iwo Jima

Personal Accounts of the Battle

By: Clarence E. Willie

Nearly 900 African Americans fought in the Battle of Iwo Jima, but accounts of their service have gone largely unrecorded. This book seeks to correct that omission for the sake of the brave Americans who served and for the sake of a more inclusive American history. Eleven veterans contribute their memories and experiences, starting with their youth in the Depression, their enlistment, the battle itself, and their experience of returning to a nation that continued to treat them as second-class citizens. Appendices include a history of the Montford Point Marines, a history of the Army's 476th Amphibian Truck Company, a chronology of the Battle of Iwo Jima and a task organization chart for the participating U.S. forces.

Origins of the African American Jeremiad

The Rhetorical Strategies of Social Protest and Activism, 1760-1861

By: Willie J. Harrell, Jr.

In the moralistic texts of jeremiadic discourse, authors lament the condition of society, utilizing prophecy as a means of predicting its demise. This study delves beneath the socio-religious and cultural exterior of the American jeremiadic tradition to unveil the complexities of African American jeremiadic rhetoric in antebellum America. It examines the development of the tradition in response to slavery, explores its contributions to the antebellum social protest writings of African Americans, and evaluates the role of the jeremiad in the growth of an African American literary genre. Despite its situation within an unreceptive environment, the African American jeremiad maintained its power, continuing to influence contemporary African American literary and cultural traditions.

The Courting of Marcus Dupree

The Courting of Marcus Dupree

By: Willie Morris

At the time of Marcus Dupree's birth, when Deep South racism was about to crest and shatter against the Civil Rights Movement, Willie Morris journeyed north in a circular transit peculiar to southern writers. His memoir of those years, North Toward Home, became a modern classic. In The Courting of Marcus Dupree he turned again home to Mississippi to write about the small town of Philadelphia and its favorite son, a black high-school quarterback. In Marcus Dupree, Morris found a living emblem of that baroque strain in the American character called "southern." Beginning on the summer practice fields, Morris follows Marcus Dupree through each game of his senior varsity year. He talks with the Dupree family, the college recruiters, the coach and the school principal, some of the teachers and townspeople, and, of course, with the young man himself. As the season progresses and the seventeen-year-old Dupree attracts a degree of national attention to Philadelphia neither known nor endured since "the Troubles" of the early sixties, these conversations take on a wider significance. Willie Morris has created more than a spectator's journal. He writes here of his repatriation to a land and a people who have recovered something that fear and misdirected loyalties had once eclipsed. The result is a fascinating, unusual, and even topical work that tells a story richer than its apparent subject, for it brings the whole of the eighties South, with all its distinctive resonances, to life.

Olive Hill

Volume 2: 1884 -1959

By: Willie Davis

Carter County, Kentucky was blessed with an abundance of diverse natural resources, including timber, iron ore, coal, and limestone. During the Industrial Revolution one of its towns, Olive Hill, became the center of a 600 square mile hotbed of fireclay, a unique heat-resistant clay used to make firebricks. For decades, thousands of hard-working Olive Hillians dug, moulded, and fired that uncommon clay into hundreds of thousands of firebricks per day to line open hearth steel furnaces, locomotive fireboxes, and steamship boilers. Without the steel, there would be no skyscrapers and no rail lines. Without the trains and ships, there would be no movement to expedite a growing nation. Olive Hill firebricks helped make this possible. Olive Hill and its people gave all that it had in a time it was most needed until a time it was needed no more. More people need to know the Olive Hill story. More people need to know more American History. Olive Hill the book is a historical fiction novel that follows the Reed family from May of 1800 thru June of 1959. It tells the Olive Hill story as I see it.

Yazoo

Integration in a Deep-Southern Town

By: Willie Morris

In 1970 Brown v. Board of Education was sixteen years old, and fifteen years had passed since the Brown II mandate that schools integrate "with all deliberate speed." Still, after all this time, it was necessary for the U.S. Supreme Court to order thirty Mississippi school districts--whose speed had been anything but deliberate--to integrate immediately. One of these districts included Yazoo City, the hometown of writer Willie Morris. Installed productively on "safe, sane Manhattan Island," Morris, though compelled to write about this pivotal moment, was reluctant to return to Yazoo and do no less than serve as cultural ambassador between the flawed Mississippi that he loved and a wider world. "I did not want to go back," Morris wrote. "I finally went home because the urge to be there during Yazoo's most critical moment was too elemental to resist, and because I would have been ashamed of myself if I had not." The result, Yazoo, is part reportage, part memoir, part ethnography, part social critique--and one of the richest accounts we have of a community's attempt to come to terms with the realities of seismic social change. As infinitely readable and nuanced as ever, Yazoo is available again, enhanced by an informative foreword by historian Jenifer Jensen Wallach and a warm and personal afterword on Morris's writing life by his widow, JoAnne Prichard Morris.

Forever Blue

The Memoirs of a Lanier High School and University of Kentucky Football Coach

By: Willie Moseley

Coach Bill Moseley?s inspiring guidance still resonates with his former players, and his story is one of exemplary and honest leadership. Growing up hardscrabble in Depression-era Montgomery, Alabama, Bill began his playing days at Sidney Lanier High School and the University of Kentucky, before joining the U.S. Army Air Forces. He became the first player in the history of the Sun Bowl to score two passing touchdowns. Moseley played under the aegis of Paul "Bear" Bryant, and when he himself coached, he interpolated Bryant?s coaching techniques and motivational abilities. Moseley's players have become successful coaches, and business and civic leaders; one became U.S. ambassador to France and another was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Psychosocial Aspects of Disability

By: George Henderson,Willie V. Bryan

This new edition of Psychosocial Aspects of Disability strikes a balance of past, present, and future views of individual, family, societal, and governmental interaction and reaction to persons with disabilities. The past is presented in Part 1, Psychosocial Aspects of Disabilities, in which a view of the evolution of societal reactions to disabilities and persons with disability is presented. This perspective is important because it explains how some of the beliefs and attitudes toward disabilities and those who have a disability have developed. Additionally, Part 1 makes us aware from a historical perspective why persons with disabilities have been subject to certain types of treatment from family, friends, and society. Parts 2 and 3 provide discussion of present situations for persons with disabilities as they move toward better inclusion in society. Chapter 5 discusses the need for empowerment of persons with disabilities and how they can empower themselves. Chapter 6 discusses the need for better employment opportunities for persons with disabilities because this is a significant way of empowering persons with disabilities. Chapter 7 discusses federal legislation that has been developed to facilitate the empowerment of persons with disabilities. Part 4, Psychosocial Issues, to a large extent, represents the future for persons with disabilities. The chapters in this section discuss some disability issues that some persons with disabilities will encounter and/or by which they will be affected during the twenty-first century. Additionally, there is discussion of the need for persons with disabilities to attain the full human rights to which they are entitled.
