ANGELO "BAREFOOT POOKIE" WHITE LIVING LEGACY OF GREAT BLACK LEADERS I am the product of the struggle fought by our legacy of Black folk raised in America. The birth of our community struggle began as early as the year 1619, when the Dutch introduced the first captured Africans to American plantations. The seeds of a slavery system that evolved into a nightmare of abuse and cruelty eventually led people to turn on each other in a quest for resources, power and control in a nation where they were put in a powerless situation for many years of abuse. From the moment the first African slaves were introduced, slavery began. Jamestown, Virginia was a colony where Africans were first brought into north America in 1619. The goal was to use us as a way to make money through crops and working the tobacco fields. The slavery industry continued to grow throughout the next two centuries. The economic system of much of North America was built by sweat and toil of our people. People got rich off of our backs, while building their new nation that we had no voice in controlling. It wasn't until some brave souls began the abolition movement in the north, that the centuries of abuse started to be challenged. The fight over whether our people should be freed divided a nation and resulted in a bloody bath war. The same mentality that made slavery kept our folk in less powerful and unequal situations until the civil rights era where America really challenged unequal practices for the first time. Torn from the rich soils from the motherland of Africa, the origin of our civilized culture where we were kings and queens and warriors, our ancestors found themselves on the shores of America, suddenly stripped and raped of all their dignity and power. Mass oppression during the Jim Crow Era worked to further silence our people, until we began to push back. The 1950's and 60's, when I grew up, was the era of the Black African youth baby boomer generation. The great Black African leaders paved the way for our stories to be written and eventually told. Beginning with our leaders Nat Turner, W.E.B. Dubois, Fredrick Douglass, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Martin L. King, Jr. Huey Newton, Fred Hampton, Sr. and Dr. Ron Karenga, all the way to the descendants of the 1950's and 60's Baby Boomer Generation of great Black leaders: Raymond Lee Washington, Sr. and Stanley "Big Tookie" Williams Both martyred and added their own efforts to the movement for Blacks, Fred Hampton, Jr., Melvin Hardy, Kevin "Good Buddy" Syvester, Louis and Michael Concepcion, and T. Manuel A.K.A. Capucino.

Prepare to be thrust into the heart of darkness as the gripping saga of The Endless Knight unfolds. Building upon the notorious legacy of ‘the devil’s haven,’ our journey commences within the impenetrable walls of a clandestine maximum-security prison concealed deep in the desolate Nevada desert. Here, inmates undergo unspeakable transformations, their bodies turned into brutal cyborgs, vessels intended to be possessed by hordes of demonic entities. Unbeknownst to the world, the prison’s very warden is a powerful demon prince in disguise, an architect of sinister plans. Fuelling the warden’s malevolent ambitions is the genius intellect of a deceased Nazi professor, his consciousness preserved within a bombproof capsule, his brain floating amidst an array of war machine robotic bodies. Accompanied by an army of robotic ghosts, former inmates driven to madness by Hellish augmentations and experimental mutations, the professor and the warden seek to orchestrate the ultimate sacrifice—the brutal annihilation of the prison population, unleashing Hell on Earth. In this riveting sci-fi odyssey, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. Can the enigmatic yogi holy man, the shadowy CIA super agents, or even the battle-hardened Team Alpha rise to the challenge and thwart the impending cataclysm? As religious and racial divisions are tested and divisive paradigms shattered, the Rudra himself imparts wisdom to his most unconventional disciples—the lost and forsaken souls of San Diablo.

This book is the first to examine life writing and disability in the context of Irish culture. It will be valuable to readers interested in Disability Studies, Irish Studies, autobiography and life writing, working-class literature, popular culture, and new media. Ranging from Sean O’Casey’s 1939 childhood memoir to contemporary blogging practices, Disability and Life Writing in Post-Independence Ireland analyzes a century of autobiographical writing about the social, psychological, economic, and physical dimensions of living with disabilities. The book examines memoirs of sight loss with reference to class and labor conditions, the harrowing stories of residential institutions and the advent of the independent living movement, and the autobiographical fiction of such acknowledged literary figures as Christy Brown and playwright Stewart Parker. Extending the discussion to the contemporary moment, popular genres such as the sports and celebrity autobiography are explored, as well as such newer phenomena as blogging and self-referential performance art.

"Disability is an indispensable tool for human service practitioners in understanding disability from an empowerment perspective. The authors address policy, theory, description, and practice, stressing the difference of disability rather than the dysfunction of disability. The text is illustrated with in-depth personal narratives by those living with disability and thought-provoking sidebars that ask readers to consider the implications of their own reactions to disability. Mackelprang and Salsgiver establish the historical and societal context in which those with disabilities are marginalized, discuss the major groupings of disabilities, and, finally, offer a model for assessment and practice that human service practitioners can adopt. The book develops a contemporary perspective in which people with disabilities are considered valuable and contributing members of society. Using this book, students will find not only a prescription for professional assessment and practice, but also the necessary understanding of common issues those with disabilities face, the social contexts in which they live, and the tools to work with people with disabilities as equals and partners"--

The Rise of a Street General provides a unique and fascinating look into a gang member's journey to rise to the top. Starting with his initiation into the gang in 1975, this story chronicles his wars with rival gangs and his years spent in the LA County Jail. It gives a look into the organized Crip movement within the California prison system during the 1980s. It witnesses the rise and fall of two Crip superpower organizations that dominated the system for a short period. The Rise of a Street General brings you to the present-day state of affairs within the Black/African gang culture and the effects of gang psychosis and self-imposed cretinism. It separates myths from reality and facts from propaganda and dispels misconception and stigmas. For the first time ever, here's a book written by a gang member from a military and political perspective. This book also provides a psychological look into a gang member's thought process as he pursues his gang career and his exit strategy from the gang, as well as his concept for peace and reducing gang violence. This is an extraordinary and remarkable book. No other gang member this far has written a book so vividly, insightfully, and informatively, sure to leave a lasting impression on its readers. This book is destined to be a classic. The Rise of a Street General is a must-read book.

A gripping tale of personal revolution by a man who went from Crips co-founder to Nobel Peace Prize nominee, author, and antigang activist When his L.A. neighborhood was threatened by gangbangers, Stanley Tookie Williams and a friend formed the Crips, but what began as protection became worse than the original gangs. From deadly street fights with their rivals to drive-by shootings and stealing cars, the Crips' influence -- and Tookie's reputation -- began to spread across L.A. Soon he was regularly under police surveillance, and, as a result, was arrested often, though always released because the charges did not stick. But in 1981, Tookie was convicted of murdering four people and was sent to death row at San Quentin in Marin County, California. Tookie maintained his innocence and began to work in earnest to prevent others from following his path. Whether he was creating nationwide peace protocols, discouraging adolescents from joining gangs, or writing books, Tookie worked tirelessly for the rest of his life to end gang violence. Even after his death, his legacy continues, supported by such individuals as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Snoop Dogg, Jesse Jackson, and many more. This posthumous edition of Blue Rage, Black Redemption features a foreword by Tavis Smiley and an epilogue by Barbara Becnel, which details not only the influence of Tookie's activism but also her eyewitness account of his December 2005 execution, and the inquest that followed. By turns frightening and enlightening, Blue Rage, Black Redemption is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and an invaluable lesson in how rage can be turned into redemption.
