"A compelling history." — Foreword Reviews "Inspiring and well-researched." — Booklist The killing of Emmett Till is widely remembered today as one of the most famous examples of lynchings in America. African American children in 1955 personally felt the terror of his murder. These children, however, would rise up against the culture that made Till’s death possible. From the violent Woolworth’s lunch-counter sit-ins in Jackson to the school walkouts of McComb, the young people of Mississippi picketed, boycotted, organized, spoke out, and marched, working to reveal the vulnerability of black bodies and the ugly nature of the world they lived in. These children changed that world. In the Name of Emmett Till: How the Children of the Mississippi Freedom Struggle Showed Us Tomorrow weaves together the riveting tales of those young women and men of Mississippi, figures like Brenda Travis, the Ladner sisters, and Sam Block who risked their lives to face down vicious Jim Crow segregation. Readers also discover the adults who guided the young people, elders including Medgar Evers, Robert Moses, and Fannie Lou Hamer. This inspiring new book of history for young adults from award-winning author Robert H. Mayer is an unflinching portrayal of life in the segregated South and the bravery of young people who fought that system. As the United States still reckons with racism and inequality, the activists working In the Name of Emmett Till can serve as models of activism for young people today.

Robert St. John and Anthony Thaxton have produced a beautiful new volume of art and family stories highlighting the prolific and reclusive Walter Inglis Anderson. It is a stunning collection filled with beautiful imagery and writings from an artist some critics have called "America's Van Gogh." Though featured in countless books and exhibitions (including a 2003 retrospective show at the Smithsonian Institution on the centennial of his birth), Walter Anderson has not yet achieved his deserved place in American art history. This book shines light on all the facets of Anderson's unbelievable output and presents a thoughtful progression of his life and art.With complete access to the Anderson family archives and the vaults of the Walter Anderson Museum of Art, this comprehensive volume brings together much of the artist's finest work as well as paintings and photographs which have never before been published. Also included with the purchase of this book are complimentary download links to the acclaimed documentary film and soundtrack. Walter Anderson: The Extraordinary Life and Art of The Islander is an eye-opening and inspiring book to be treasured and dipped into again and again.
