For more than 400 years, the personal essay has fused elements of the critical essay with personal discovery. Through adopting a first-person narrative I am able to use a loose conversational tone whichallows me the possibility to situate the role of "Caller" or "Storyteller as a dialogic one. The "Response" to the various essays is then a shared one, within a number of constructs, including one in which both Caller and Responder are the same person, as demonstrated by various art forms in song, in speech and in the church liturgy tradition, both from African American church, Catholic ...

Carter G. Woodson, in “The Mis-Education of the Negro” (1933), contends that African Americans have been educated away from their own culture and traditions and attached to the fringes of European culture; thus dislocated from themselves. He asserts that African Americans often valorize European culture to the detriment of our own heritage (p. 7). Although he does not advocate rejection of American citizenship or nationality, he believed that assuming African Americans hold the same position as European Americans vis-à-vis the realities of America would lead to the psychological and ...

This book was written to share my soldier story with you by connecting it to the larger story of the African American tradition of service to the country. Military service has always been a legitimate career option in peace, and in times of war. African Americans have historically understood how love of country and military service can be a catalyst for positive social change. For this reason, I dedicate this book to all those, "Who have dared for a high cause to suffer, resist, fight, if need be to die." ~ Elbridge S. Brooks.

Why do some speakers succeed through practice and others spontaneously? This book answers that question in a practical way. How best to use the speeches in this book? There is no one “best” way to benefit from the material in this book. As a point of departure, read each speech. Read them silently and read them aloud. Then read them again. And again. Again... Appreciate the sounds of the words, for they are beautiful. Notice the use of repetition, humour, irony, wit, allusion and alliteration. Practice giving the speeches. Place yourself in the "shoes" of the speaker. You become Cato, ...

“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ~ Elie Wiesel The Holocaust showed the world that it is a very good idea to rethink ethical dilemmas. Life or death?

Why did we refuse to stand up to evil? This book will help you to search for the answer to the question that only you can answer for yourself... The Holocaust, the Shoah, or ...

History remembers walls. This book remembers the shadows behind them. For those who lived behind the Iron Curtain, fear was not an emotion. It was an environment—like air, or gravity. Invisible, constant, and inescapable. When the Second World War ended, East Germany promised rebirth. Factories reopened, stadium lights flickered to life, and slogans painted on every surface declared a new dawn for the working class. But beneath the posters and parades, another structure was quietly rising—one not built of brick and steel, but of whispers, files, and obedience. That structure had a name:...

History often marks its turning points with dramatic symbols—walls raised or torn down, borders redrawn, leaders replaced, treaties signed. Yet the real turning points, the ones that alter the course of countless unnamed lives, begin long before any public declaration. They begin quietly, in narrow hallways, in shuttered rooms, in whispers passed between frightened neighbors. They begin with suspicions, not evidence—rumors that travel faster than facts, and fears that shape decisions more powerfully than any law. Book Three of Heinz Krügel’s Journey enters that quieter space. It ...
