Yet much of the memorialization reduced her historical contribution to a single act on a bus on a long-ago December evening.

Even as economic hardship and constant death threats exacted a steep toll on Rosa and her husband, Raymond, she remained committed to exposing and eradicating racial inequality in jobs, schools, public services, and the criminal justice system. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks\u003c\/i\u003e, Theoharis masterfully details the political depth of a national heroine who dedicated her life to fighting American inequality and, in the process, resurrects an inspiring civil rights movement radical who has been hidden in plain sight far too long. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ctl00_wpm_ShowProduct_ctl04_lbFieldCSS\"\u003e2014 NAACP Image Award Winner for Outstanding Literary Work Biography\/Autobiography\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Burning Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15831576805427,"sku":"Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Pa","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0466\/5121\/products\/9780807076927.jpg?v=1644244098"},{"product_id":"how-far-we-slaves-have-come","title":"How Far We Slaves Have Come!","description":"\u003cp\u003eby Nelson Mandela, Fidel Castro\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePathfinder Press\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e1991, 2012\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSKU: 9780873487290\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaking together in Cuba in 1991, Mandela and Castro discuss the place in the history of Africa of Cuba and Angola's victory over the invading U.S.-backed South African army, and the resulting acceleration of the fight to bring down the racist apartheid system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Burning Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15646484725811,"sku":"How Far We Slaves Have Come","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0466\/5121\/products\/109_398.jpeg?v=1543552751"},{"product_id":"independent-black-political-action-1954-78","title":"Independent Black Political Action 1954-78","description":"\u003cp\u003eEdited by Mac Warren\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePathfinder Press\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e1982\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSKU: 9780873486842\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe struggle for Black political action independent of the capitalist two-party system.

He describes the struggle to reconcile his political activity with his devotion to his family, the anguished breakup of his first marriage, and the painful separations from his children. He brings vividly to life the escalating political warfare in the fifties between the ANC and the government, culminating in his dramatic escapades as an underground leader and the notorious Rivonia Trial of 1964, at which he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Herecounts the surprisingly eventful twenty-seven years in prison and the complex, delicate negotiations that led both to his freedom and to the beginning of the end of apartheid.

In the course of six months in 1961, four hundred and fifty Freedom Riders expanded the realm of the possible in American politics, redefining the limits of dissent and setting the stage for the civil rights movement. In this new version of his encyclopedic \u003cem\u003eFreedom Riders\u003c\/em\u003e, Raymond Arsenault offers a significantly condensed and tautly written account. With characters and plot lines rivaling those of the most imaginative fiction, this is a tale of heroic sacrifice and unexpected triumph. Arsenault recounts how a group of volunteers--blacks and whites--came together to travel from Washington DC through the Deep South, defying Jim Crow laws in buses and terminals and putting their lives on the line for racial justice. News photographers captured the violence in Montgomery, shocking the nation and sparking a crisis in the Kennedy administration.

The Black Panthers are most often remembered for their revolutionary rhetoric and militant action. Here Alondra Nelson deftly recovers an indispensable but lesser-known aspect of the organization's broader struggle for social justice: health care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Black Panther Party's health activism-its network of free health clinics, its campaign to raise awareness about genetic disease, and its challenges to medical discrimination-was an expression of its founding political philosophy and also a recognition that poor blacks were both underserved by mainstream medicine and overexposed to its harms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eDrawing on extensive historical research as well as interviews with former members of the Black Panther Party, Nelson argues that the Party's focus on health care was both practical and ideological. Building on a long tradition of medical self-sufficiency among African Americans, the Panthers' People's Free Medical Clinics administered basic preventive care, tested for lead poisoning and hypertension, and helped with housing, employment, and social services. In 1971, the party launched a campaign to address sickle-cell anemia. In addition to establishing screening programs and educational outreach efforts, it exposed the racial biases of the medical system that had largely ignored sickle-cell anemia, a disease that predominantly affected people of African descent. The Black Panther Party's understanding of health as a basic human right and its engagement with the social implications of genetics anticipated current debates about the politics of health and race. That legacy-and that struggle-continues today in the commitment of health activists and the fight for universal health care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e2012 Distinguished Contribution to Scholarship Book Award, American Sociological Association, Race, Gender, and Class Section (co-winner)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e2012 Letitia Woods Brown Book Award, Association of Black Women Historians\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e2012 Association for Humanist Sociology Book Award\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e2013 Mirra Komarovsky Book Award, Eastern Sociological Society  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlondra Nelson\u003c\/strong\u003e is professor of sociology at Columbia University, where she also holds an appointment in the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

Gottesdiener's \"page-turning testimony\" reminds us that not a single Wall Street banker has been arrested for the countless predatory loans, acts of fraud and foreclosure abuse that have contributed to the more than ten million people being evicted from their foreclosed homes since 2007-with millions more foreclosures in progress. That ten million people have been thrown out of their homes (the equivalent of the entire population of Michigan) with almost no coverage of their stories or perspectives is itself a testament to corporate influence over public education, mass media and national debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThrough real-life stories of four American neighborhoods fighting against foreclosure, A Dream Foreclosed gives voice to the silenced population most affected by the global economic crisis.

In Britain he is feted as a historic pioneer of the black movement. He is generally regarded as one of the major figures in Pan-Africanism, and a leader in developing a current within Marxism that was democratic, revolutionary, and internationalist. His long life and impressive career played out in Trinidad, England, and America. For the last years of his life, he lived in south London and lectured widely on politics, Shakespeare, and other topics. He died there in 1989. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout Robin D.G.
