This oral and pictorial history chronicles the lives and separate worlds of black and white communities in Jim Crow era Colorado County, TX. First settled by Stephen F. Austin’s colonists in the early nineteenth century, Colorado County has deep roots in Texas history. Mainly rural and agrarian until late in the twentieth century, it was a cotton-growing region whose population was evenly divided between blacks and whites. These life-long neighbors led separate and unequal lives, memories of which still linger today. To preserve those memories, Patsy Cravens began interviewing and photographing the older residents of Colorado County in the 1980s. In this book, Cravens presents photographs and recollections of the last generation, black and white, who grew up in the era of Jim Crow segregation. And they have engrossing stories to tell. They recall grinding poverty and rollicking fun in the Great Depression, losing crops and livestock to floods, working for the WPA, romances gone wrong and love gone right, dirty dancing, church and faith, sharecropping, quilting, raising children, racism and bigotry, and even the horrific lynching of two African American teenagers in 1935. These stories reveal an amazing resiliency and generosity of spirit, despite the hardships that have filled most of their lives. They also capture a now lost rural way of life that was once common across the South.

The Second Great Migration, the movement of African Americans between the South and the North that began in the early 1940s and tapered off in the late 1960s, transformed America. This migration of approximately five million people helped improve the financial prospects of black Americans, who, in the next generation, moved increasingly into the middle class. Over seven years, Lisa Krissoff Boehm gathered oral histories with women migrants and their children, two groups largely overlooked in the story of this event. She also utilized existing oral histories with migrants and southerners in leading archives. In extended excerpts from the oral histories, and in thoughtful scholarly analysis of the voices, this book offers a unique window into African American women's history. These rich oral histories reveal much that is surprising. Although the Jim Crow South presented persistent dangers, the women retained warm memories of southern childhoods. Notwithstanding the burgeoning war industry, most women found themselves left out of industrial work. The North offered its own institutionalized racism; the region was not the promised land. Additionally, these African American women juggled work and family long before such battles became a staple of mainstream discussion. In the face of challenges, the women who share their tales here crafted lives of great meaning from the limited options available, making a way out of no way.

Curing systemic inequalities in the criminal justice system is the unfinished business of the Civil Rights movement. No part of that system highlights this truth more than the current implementation of the death penalty. The findings of this research demonstrate that the racial inequity in the meting out of death sentences has legal and political externalities that move beyond individual defendants to larger numbers of African Americans. This book looks at the meaning of the death penalty to and for African Americans.

My awesome stories of testimony are about God saving me from drowning in the Mediterranean Sea, saving my life when I hydroplaned up the road in the wrong lane going backward toward oncoming traffic, sending me angels with messages of peace and hope, healing my body after a chiropractic accident, blessing me with wise advice for taking care of a new mother, giving me peace after my mastectomy, prompting me when members of my family needed me, protecting me when I fell off the bathtub, and helping me when I lost my cell phone, was targeted by purse thieves, tithed, and bought a car. The purpose of my book is to lovingly, publicly, and lavishly thank God for what he has done for me and to leave my Christian testimony as my legacy to our children, grandchildren, and you. While reading "MY TESTIMONY, "you will learn more about God's blessings, and you will think about the legacy that you are leaving for your family.

Ricks / I am a walking testimony / 2 This book is inspired by my first book titled The Dedication to the Trial of My Life. I want my readers to know the true story behind the poetry and how a strength greater than myself helped me along the way of my life's journey. This great spiritual being was there throughout my childhood and still is the significant part of my life. I am talking about God, ladies and gentlemen. If it was not for him, I would not be here today. I owe him everything that I am. So with this book, I give him all the glory because he inspired me to write it. In my darkest hour, I birthed out my life's story. I hope this book sends a powerful message to those who have been labeled the middle child, the black sheep, and lets them know though ostracized and set apart they are still somebody who was born with a purpose and an identity.

What does it mean to give a testimony? When you give a testimony you are telling what you saw or what you know. You know and believe that Jesus died on the cross so that we may have life, our sins are forgiven. We believe His word, Iam the Good Shepherd the Good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep.
