Other People's Rotten Kids
By Essie P. Knuckle and Mittie P.
Glymph A must read for every family with
rotten kids. Learn practical, usable, and humorous methods that
take the drudgery out of parenting.—Publisher
This is a serious topic written in a lighthearted style for
the purpose of the prevention of rearing badly behaved and
maladaptive young people. In addition to helping parents prevent
the development of maladaptive youth, the authors give parents
practical and workable suggestions to use with their children.
This book returns the power of the family and the
decision-making to the parents. And it assists parents in the
guidance and development of their off-springs into sensible and
rationally functioning young adults—Benjamin A. Adewale, M.D., PC, Psychiatrist and
Psychotherapist (DC, VA, and MD)

The Ditchdigger’s Daughters
By
Yvonne Thornton
Dr.
Yvonne Thornton’s memoir
The Ditchdigger’s Daughters has
captured the hearts of readers everywhere
since it was first published in 1995.
Translated into 19 languages, featured on
Oprah, and made into a TV movie, this
heart-warming and inspiring story chronicles
Yvonne Thornton’s family; at its center is
her beloved, unschooled but wise father
Donald Thornton, who demanded that all five
of his daughters not only excel in school,
but go on to become doctors. Four of them
did; the other found her calling in law and
became a lawyer instead.—Dafina
Thornton's frank, relaxed manner makes it
accessible to general readers as well as
students of women's or African American
memoir. Worth considering also for those
looking for inspirational reads.—Library

Freedom's Teacher: The Life of Septima
Clark
By Katherine Mellen Charron
Freedom's Teacher
traces Clark's life from her earliest
years as a student, teacher, and
community member in rural and urban
South Carolina to her increasing
radicalization as an activist following
World War II, highlighting how Clark
brought her life's work to bear on the
civil rights movement. Katherine Mellen
Charron's engaging portrait demonstrates
Clark's crucial role—and the role of
many black women teachers—in making
education a cornerstone of the
twentieth-century freedom struggle.
Drawing on autobiographies and memoirs
by fellow black educators, state
educational records, papers from civil
rights organizations, and oral
histories, Charron argues that the
schoolhouse served as an important
institutional base for the movement.
Clark's program also fostered
participation from grassroots southern
black women, affording them the
opportunity to link their personal
concerns to their political involvement
on the community's behalf. |
