Booker T. Washington: Black Leadership in the Age of Jim Crow
ISBN: 9781566638661 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the time of his famous Atlanta address in 1895 until his death in 1915, Booker T. Washington was the preeminent African-American educator and race leader. But to historians and biographers of the last hundred years, Washington has often been described as an enigma, a man who rose to prominence because he offered a compromise with the white South: he was willing to trade civil rights for economic and educational advancement. Thus one historian called Washington's time the nadir of Negro life in America. Raymond W. Smock's interpretive biography explores Washington's rise from slavery to a...

Glimpsed through any medium, black popular culture is the DNA that runs throughout the various kinds of black and American artistic achievement and shared experience, helping to identify, explain, and retain Africanisms and the essential blackness that emanate from the everyday lives of black people."

Long before WKRP in Cincinnati, Tim Reid and his partner, Tom Dreesen, were told they were funny enough to be in show business. They took that advice literally, and formed the nation's first black-and-white standup comedy act. Their marketing tools appeared naturally in place: A black youngster named Tim and the white one named Tom---even the names alliterated perfectly---leaving them the luxury of calling their act TIM & TOM. As their business manager, I had a ringside seat---watching them make the unpredictable trek from their hometown of Harvey, Illinois to Hollywood, California. Their...
