DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1972 Lorene Cary, a bright, ambitious black teenager from Philadelphia, was transplanted into the formerly all-white, all-male environs of the elite St. Paul's School in New Hampshire, where she became a scholarship student in a "boot camp" for future American leaders. Like any good student, she was determined to succeed. But Cary was also determined to succeed without selling out. This wonderfully frank and perceptive memoir describes the perils and ambiguities of that double role, in which failing calculus and winning a student election could both be interpreted as betrayals of one's skin. Black Ice is also a universally recognizable document of a woman's adolescence; it is, as Houston Baker says, "a journey into selfhood that resonates with sober reflection, intellignet passion, and joyous love."

Ellis unravels the contradictions of the Jeffersonian character. He gives us the slaveholding libertarian who was capable of decrying mescegenation while maintaing an intimate relationship with his slave, Sally Hemmings; the enemy of government power who exercisdd it audaciously as president; the visionarty who remained curiously blind to the inconsistencies in his nature. American Sphinx is a marvel of scholarship, a delight to read, and an essential gloss on the Jeffersonian legacy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMorton Fleischer has written a book that is focused on the mind roadmap steps he has followed to become a successful entrepreneur and businessman. From his beginnings as a janitor in the local dime store store to now, he has formed more than twenty real estate companies, taking three of them public on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). He is an experienced financier, entrepreneur and real estate investor who has chosen to spend his "twilight" years trying to address the "sticky" problem of bringing the economically disadvantaged into the mainstream of America through education. He is the sponsor of "Fleischer Scholars" which is currently being implemented at three universities (Arizona State University, the University of Arkansas, and Washington University in St. Louis). The Fleischer Scholars Program is a week-long in person summer Enrichment program that assists high school students entering their senior year in making the transition to college. Scholars are provided a unique opportunity to experience college life, entrepreneurship, and business during a week-long residential program. While "Building Your Mental Balance Sheet" was written with the students specifically in mind, it can be applied at any age and in any circumstance. The book combines KNOWLEDGE with a MIND ROADMAP to guide students to success in business and life. It utilizes a "Three-Legged Stool" as the basis for programming their minds to move beyond their current life situation, obtain a college education, become master adaptive learners, enjoy success, and then go back into their communities as leaders and role models. "Dear Mort: You are truly a man for all seasons. Your fine book should ideally be included in high-school curricula nation-wide. Most of today's young generation has no idea that free enterprise made America great!" - William F

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWinner of a Newbery Honor! Soonie's great-grandma was just seven years old when she was sold to a big plantation without her ma and pa, and with only some fabric and needles to call her own. She pieced together bright patches with names like North Star and Crossroads, patches with secret meanings made into quilts called Show Ways -- maps for slaves to follow to freedom. When she grew up and had a little girl, she passed on this knowledge. And generations later, Soonie -- who was born free -- taught her own daughter how to sew beautiful quilts to be sold at market and how to read. From slavery to freedom, through segregation, freedom marches and the fight for literacy, the tradition they called Show Way has been passed down by the women in Jacqueline Woodson's family as a way to remember the past and celebrate the possibilities of the future. Beautifully rendered in Hudson Talbott's luminous art, this moving, lyrical account pays tribute to women whose strength and knowledge illuminate their daughters' lives.
