In January 1944, sixteen black enlisted men gathered at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station in Illinois to begin a crash course that would turn them into the U.S. Navy’s first African American officers on active duty. Treated more as pariahs than pioneers, however, they were often denied the privileges and respect routinely accorded white naval officers and were given menial assignments unworthy of their abilities and training. Yet despite this discrimination, these inspirational young men broke new ground and opened the door for generations to come. Listen to an excerpt from the audio book.
Marching for Freedom tells the story of how ordinary kids helped change history. March 7, 1965. The eerie silence was broken only by the sound of scuffling feet as marchers approached the Edmond Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. The mood was sober. Hundreds of men, women and children had been protesting in Selma for weeks to win black Americans the right to vote. They’d been threatened. Been arrested. Jailed. This march was likely to end in violence, yet they went away. But when state troopers attacked with billy clubs and tear gas, the brute force was a shock. Many were injured including children.

The African American population in the United States has always been seen as a single entity. In this groundbreaking book, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Eugene Robinson argues that over decades of desegregation, affirmative action, and immigration, the concept of Black America has shattered. Instead of one Black America, now there are four; a Mainstream middle-class majority; a large Abandoned majority with little hope of escaping poverty; a small Transcendent elite with enormous wealth, power and influence; and two newly Emergent groups of mixed-race individuals and recent black immigrants that make us wonder what “black” is even supposed to mean. Listen to an excerpt from the audio book.
The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man by James Weldon Johnson is the fictional telling of the story of a young biracial man, referred to only as the “Ex-Colored Man”, living in post Reconstruction era America in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The Ex-Colored Man was forced to choose between embracing his black heritage and culture by expressing himself through the African-American musical genre ragtime, or by “passing” and living obscurely as a mediocre middle-class white man.
