Robert Williams Irish Street Preacher and Methodist Circuit Rider Lay Preacher in Ireland and Circuit Rider in America First Methodist to preach in Virginia and North Carolina First Methodist Printer and Publisher in America Founder of the Norfolk and Petersburg Societies 1772 Founder of the Brunswick Circuit 1773-1774 Founder or Jerusalem United Methodist Church 1773 In 1772 news spread along the south side of the Roanoke River that a Methodist circuit rider was going to preach under the big willow oak on Ebenezer Coleman's plantation. Robert Williams preached with power. The oak tree became a regular preaching place on his Brunswick Circuit and the place where Jerusalem United Methodist Church was born. Robert William's birth, baptism, and conversion are not documented. Neither is his call to preach. His travel journals, if there were any kept, have never been found. Dr. Bergland, researching his life and legends, employs church records, colonial history and imagination to tell the story (history) and stories (historical fiction) of an indefatigable (stubborn) Irish lay preacher. Dr. John K Bergland is a retired United Methodist Minister who was the professor of preaching and associate dean at Duke Divinity School. His interest in Methodist history (he authored "Strangely Warm") and convictional preaching are reflected in this book. When he came to Jerusalem UMC as an interim pastor in 2005 he learned about Robert Williams great awakening ministry in the Roanoke Valley. He bought a home on the shores of Lake Gaston (formerly the Roanoke River) and, by the pretty ways of providence, found himself living on the old ferry road used by the circuit rider on his way to the Jerusalem Methodist class in 1773. The Stories of Robert Williams are now heard wherever Dr. Bergland happens to be.

After twenty-five years of untreated major depression and substance abuse, former two-time All-American and NFL player Robert Williams was at a crossroad. His thoughts did not include feelings of lost opportunities, fame, or unmet potentials but of his spiritual dissonance. Why had a tortured soul been given a second chance—why had his demons not succeeded? A Journey of Spiritual Restoration is a glimpse of the divine voyage to his peaceful existence. It is a manuscript of poems and expression of a man who stood up to his shallow ego. Journey of Spiritual Restoration highlights his introduction to Taoism and the acceptance of a higher source. More importantly, this book provides hope; it verifies miracles do exist, spiritual miracles the kind only God can produce.

Journey Into Color By: Robert Williams It’s 1964, and the civil rights movement is in full swing. Mike Martino, an aspiring writer born in a small New England town, heads out to Los Angeles, California, to write a novel about his experience as a singer. He drifts in and out of casual sex relationships, afraid of becoming tied down – that is, until he meets Mae Kelly, a young black woman with a difficult past of prostitution, poverty, drugs, and jail. But through it all, she has maintained an innocent, child-like purity that captivates Mike and makes him succumb to her special “It” quality. But this is the 1960s in America, and Mike is white and Mae is black. Their love story plays out against the backdrop of racism and long-held prejudices, which even Mike cannot fully escape, no matter how hard he tries. Written in common vernacular and influenced by the author’s own experiences, Journey Into Color is a bohemian romance with an edge – and, ultimately, a story of hope for a better future.

About the Book As the second part in The Journey series, Equality Is Just an Illusion continues to illuminate the historical reality of African Americans in the United States over the past two centuries, with an emphasis on the effects of whitewashing and the strategic cover-up of America’s racist past. With the threat of banning Critical Race Theory and many culturally significant books in schools, the need to safeguard historical truth is more necessary than ever. In addition to chronicling the plight of Black people in America, The Journey, Vol. 2 highlights the incredible accomplishments and milestones of Black men and women who are rarely known and never discussed in history books. About the Author Donald B. Armstrong is a retired military veteran who witnessed several things early in his career which left him with questions about equality. It was then he realized what parents meant when they stated, "Whatever you do, you have to be better." Armstrong is married to Cynthia Gail Armstrong from Macon, Georgia. Armstrong received an undergraduate degree from North Carolina A&T State University and a graduate degree from the University of Phoenix. He is a sports enthusiast, a fan of the Carolina Panthers, Charlotte Hornets, University of North Carolina Tar Heels, and North Carolina A&T State University "Aggies." Armstrong enjoys social gatherings with healthy food and stimulating conversations.

This book tells the remarkable story of Robert F. Williams--one of the most influential black activists of the generation that toppled Jim Crow and forever altered the arc of American history. In the late 1950s, as president of the Monroe, North Carolina, branch of the NAACP, Williams and his followers used machine guns, dynamite, and Molotov cocktails to confront Klan terrorists. Advocating "armed self-reliance" by blacks, Williams challenged not only white supremacists but also Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights establishment. Forced to flee during the 1960s to Cuba--where he broadcast "Radio Free Dixie," a program of black politics and music that could be heard as far away as Los Angeles and New York City--and then China, Williams remained a controversial figure for the rest of his life. Historians have customarily portrayed the civil rights movement as a nonviolent call on America's conscience--and the subsequent rise of Black Power as a violent repudiation of the civil rights dream. But Radio Free Dixie reveals that both movements grew out of the same soil, confronted the same predicaments, and reflected the same quest for African American freedom. As Robert Williams's story demonstrates, independent black political action, black cultural pride, and armed self-reliance operated in the South in tension and in tandem with legal efforts and nonviolent protest.

The book written in free style includes poems and short stories and reflects the authors experiences as he worked as an engineering consultant/manager in London, Jamaica and the USA over a period of fifty years. The book is not about engineering, but rather about people, events and circumstances observed and or experienced as he navigated his way through diverse places and situations over that period of time. The writings include romantic, cultural, sociological and political subjects. Each poem or story has its own natural emotional dynamics ranging from hate, love, lust, abysmal ignorance or arrogance, beauty of nature, beauty of the soul. Like in the case of movies that embellish books of authors so as to capture the imagination of the viewer, so does this book in embellishing those poems and short stories to peak the interest of the reader. As in the case of broadcasting or voice over work, this book should be read with emphasis to reflect the emotion embedded in the words.

An invaluable resource that documents the Black Power Movement by its cultural representation and promotion of self-determination and self-defense, and showcases the movement's influence on Black communities in America from 1965 to the mid-1970s. Unlike the Civil Rights Movement's emphasis on the rhetoric and practice of nonviolence and social and political goal of integration, Black Power was defined by the promotion of Black self-determination, Black consciousness, independent Black politics, and the practice of armed self-defense. Black Power changed communities, curriculums, and culture in the United States and served as an inspiration for social justice internationally. This unique two-volume set provides readers with an understanding of Black Power's important role in the turbulence, social change, and politics of the 1960s and 1970s in America and how the concepts of the movement continue to influence contemporary Black politics, culture, and identity. Cross-disciplinary and broad in its approach, Black Power Encyclopedia: From "Black Is Beautiful" to Urban Uprisings explores the emergence and evolution of the Black Power Movement in the United States some 50 years ago. The entries examine the key players, organizations and institutions, trends, and events of the period, enabling readers to better understand the ways in which African Americans broke through racial barriers, developed a positive identity, and began to feel united through racial pride and the formation of important social change organizations. The encyclopedia also covers the important impact of the more militant segments of the movement, such as Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam and the Black Panthers.
