DOWNLOAD EBOOKCharles Connor is the original pioneering drummer for Little Richard, and the man whom the "Godfather of Soul", James Brown, said, "Was the first to put the funk into the rhythm." As one of history's few successful left-handed drummers, the New Orleans-born Connor, created the "Choo-Choo Train" drumming style, which consists of eight notes. It has been used by nearly all subsequent Rock 'n' Roll drummers, whether they know it or not. Among the classic recordings featuring Connor's trademark drumming are Little Richard's "Keep A-Knockin'," "She's Got It," and "Ooh! My Soul." In addition to Little Richard and James Brown, Connor has worked with such Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famers as Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Lloyd Price and the Original Coasters. He has appeared in the film "The Girl Can't Help It." (co-starring Jayne Mansfield, Edmund O'Brien, and Tom Ewell); "Don't Knock the Rock," and "Mr. Rock 'n' Roll." Not one to rest on his past laurels, Connor remains a contemporary man who has succeeded as a devoted family man, author, songwriter, teacher, voice-over talent, media interview subject and public speaker. In his speaking appearances, he encourages both young and mature people to "Aim High and Achieve," and to "Never Give Up Your Dreams." Combining humor and wisdom, he offers practical advice that can benefit anyone. When he discusses such issues as taking responsibility, conquering anger and, remaining humble, Connor never talks down to people. He grabs their attention because he has the credibility of one who has " been there and done that." It is an inspirational story of how a young, struggling and hungry musician overcame obstacles such as racial prejudice, to become a career and personal success. Connor's basic message is that anyone, regardless of his or her age or circumstances, can change for the better. To find out more about Charles Connor, click on his web site: www.legendarydrummer.tv.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWinner of a 2017 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work, this moving manifesto “empowers women to access a fearlessness that will enable community progress” (Essence). Through one incredible woman’s journey from a small Zimbabwe village to becoming one of the world’s most recognizable voices in women’s empowerment and education, this book “can help any woman achieve her full potential” (Kirkus Reviews). Before Tererai Trent landed on Oprah’s stage as her “favorite guest of all time,” she was a woman with a forgotten dream. As a young girl in a cattle-herding village in Zimbabwe, she dreamed of receiving an education but instead was married young and by eighteen, without a high school graduation, she was already a mother of three. Tererai encountered a visiting American woman who assured her that anything was possible, reawakening her sacred dream. Tererai planted her dreams deep in the earth and prayed they would grow. They did, and now not only has she earned her PhD but she has also built schools for girls in Zimbabwe, with funding from Oprah. The Awakened Woman: A Guide for Remembering & Igniting Your Sacred Dreams is her accessible, intimate, and evocative guide that teaches nine essential lessons to encourage all women to reexamine their dreams and uncover the power hidden within them—power that can recreate our world for the better. Tererai points out that there is a massive, untapped, global resource in women who have, for one reason or another, set aside their wisdom, their skills, and their dreams in order to take care of the personal business of their lives. Not only is this a type of invisible suffering experienced by countless women, this rich resource is a secret weapon for improving our world. Women have the capacity to inspire, to create, to transform—and Tererai’s call to action “shines as a beacon of hope to women everywhere” (Danica McKellar, actress and New York Times bestselling author).

DOWNLOAD EBOOK#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The twentieth anniversary edition of the classic story of an incredible group of students and the teacher who inspired them, featuring updates on the students’ lives, new journal entries, and an introduction by Erin Gruwell Now a public television documentary, Freedom Writers: Stories from the Heart In 1994, an idealistic first-year teacher in Long Beach, California, named Erin Gruwell confronted a room of “unteachable, at-risk” students. She had intercepted a note with an ugly racial caricature and angrily declared that this was precisely the sort of thing that led to the Holocaust. She was met by uncomprehending looks—none of her students had heard of one of the defining moments of the twentieth century. So she rebooted her entire curriculum, using treasured books such as Anne Frank’s diary as her guide to combat intolerance and misunderstanding. Her students began recording their thoughts and feelings in their own diaries, eventually dubbing themselves the “Freedom Writers.” Consisting of powerful entries from the students’ diaries and narrative text by Erin Gruwell, The Freedom Writers Diary is an unforgettable story of how hard work, courage, and determination changed the lives of a teacher and her students. In the two decades since its original publication, the book has sold more than one million copies and inspired a major motion picture Freedom Writers. And now, with this twentieth-anniversary edition, readers are brought up to date on the lives of the Freedom Writers, as they blend indispensable takes on social issues with uplifting stories of attending college—and watch their own children follow in their footsteps. The Freedom Writers Diary remains a vital read for anyone who believes in second chances.
