Jake Shaw was an old army veteran of the Civil War turned lawman shortly after the war ended. He was just twenty-two years old when Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S.

His maw had traveled with his paw on every route, carrying him, Shaw, in her womb until the day he was born on the river. She had been there when he left to join the war, standing in the yard waving goodbye. And she was there when he came home four years later. He had stood over her with his head bowed, his Union hat in hand, to say goodbye to her again. A headstone said Sally Shaw had died in 1863.

Jim is thought to be slow mentally because he is quiet, bordering on being shy. He is thought to be a problem because of his slowness by his first grade school teacher. He is a tag along to his older brothers and his dad.

| askin all dem questions: Stories from the Tenants Downstairs Sidik Fofana, 2023-08 Finalist for the Gotham Book Prize, the Los Angeles Times Art Seidenbaum Award, and the Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence * Longlisted for the Story Prize Named a BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR by NPR, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal, Chicago Review of Books, LitHub, and Electric Lit “A standout achievement…American speech is an underused commodity in contemporary fiction and it’s a joy to find such a vital example of it here.” —The Wall Street Journal From a superb new literary talent, a rich, lyrical collection of stories about a tight-knit cast of characters grappling with their own personal challenges while the forces of gentrification threaten to upend life as they know it. At Banneker Terrace, everybody knows everybody, or at least knows of them. Longtime tenants’ lives are entangled together in the ups and downs of the day-to-day, for better or for worse. The neighbors in the unit next door are friends or family, childhood rivals or enterprising business partners. In other words, Harlem is home. But the rent is due, and the clock of gentrification—never far from anyone’s mind—is ticking louder now than ever. In eight interconnected stories, Sidik Fofana conjures a residential community under pressure. There is Swan, in apartment 6B, whose excitement about his friend’s release from prison jeopardizes the life he’s been trying to lead. Mimi, in apartment 14D, hustles to raise the child she had with Swan, waitressing at Roscoe’s and doing hair on the side. And Quanneisha B. Miles, in apartment 21J, is a former gymnast with a good education who wishes she could leave Banneker for good, but can’t seem to escape the building’s gravitational pull. We root for the tight-knit cast of characters as they weave in and out of one another’s narratives, working to escape their pasts and blaze new paths forward for themselves and the people they love. All the while we brace, as they do, for the challenges of a rapidly shifting future. Stories from the Tenants Downstairs brilliantly captures the joy and pain of the human experience in this “singular accomplishment from a writer to watch” (Library Journal, starred review). |

| askin all dem questions: Talking to the Dead LeRhonda S. Manigault-Bryant, 2014-05-14 Talking to the Dead is an ethnography of seven Gullah/Geechee women from the South Carolina lowcountry. These women communicate with their ancestors through dreams, prayer, and visions and traditional crafts and customs, such as storytelling, basket making, and ecstatic singing in their churches. Like other Gullah/Geechee women of the South Carolina and Georgia coasts, these women, through their active communication with the deceased, make choices and receive guidance about how to live out their faith and engage with the living. LeRhonda S. Manigault-Bryant emphasizes that this communication affirms the women's spiritual faith—which seamlessly integrates Christian and folk traditions—and reinforces their position as powerful culture keepers within Gullah/Geechee society. By looking in depth at this long-standing spiritual practice, Manigault-Bryant highlights the subversive ingenuity that lowcountry inhabitants use to thrive spiritually and to maintain a sense of continuity with the past. |
| askin all dem questions: Dem Days Was Hell - Recorded Testimonies of Former Slaves from 17 U.S. States Work Projects Administration, 2024-01-15 In 'Dem Days Was Hell', the Work Projects Administration presents a collection of recorded testimonies from former slaves in 17 U.S. states. This powerful book provides an intimate look at the experiences of these individuals, shedding light on the harsh realities of slavery and its lasting impact. The testimonies are presented in a straightforward, unfiltered manner, allowing readers to connect with the raw emotions and personal stories of the individuals interviewed. The book serves as a valuable historical document, capturing the voices of those who lived through one of the darkest periods in American history. The Work Projects Administration, a New Deal agency established during the Great Depression, undertook this project as part of its efforts to document the experiences of Americans from all walks of life. Through 'Dem Days Was Hell', the WPA sought to preserve the stories of former slaves and ensure that their voices were not lost to history. The author's dedication to this important task is evident throughout the book, as each testimony is presented with care and respect. I highly recommend 'Dem Days Was Hell' to readers interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the impact of slavery on individuals and communities. This book offers a unique perspective on the institution of slavery and provides valuable insights into the lived experiences of those who endured its horrors. |

Black drew hard, squinting as the smoke rushed into his lungs. Where do you want to start?the lawyer said, lighting a cigarette of his own. I guess there’s only one place to start; at Broad and Erie. Johnny Podres, a politician whose record against corruption had been propelling him straight to the mayor’s office, is found murdered in a North Philly crack house. Enter Samuel Jackson, a.k.a. Black, a drug addict who knows better, a man embittered by the fact that he can’t seem to escape from his addiction to crack cocaine or, for that matter, from himself. Though he was once a family man with a wife and son, Black’s only concern these days is getting his next high, that is, until he stumbles across a friend and fellow addict, Leroy, and both become prime suspects in the Podres murder. Black and Leroy hook up with two female pipers: Clarisse, a registered nurse who is slowly losing to crack any semblance of a respectable life, and Pookie, who already has lost it. Soon the hunt is on for all four as they try to stay one step ahead of a police department under tremendous pressure to solve the case—because if a killer isn’t found soon, this could blow up into one of the biggest scandals in Philadelphia history. Solomon Jones weaves a suspenseful story against the backdrop of corruption in the Philadelphia police department and centers it on a group of drug addicts who, in the process of fleeing the law, come to terms with their own addiction, leading to some devastating consequences. |

| askin all dem questions: Voices of Determination Kevin Chavous, 2017-09-08 Voices of Determination tells the stories of ten children who overcame extraordinarily difficult circumstances to get an education and end the cycle of generational poverty. It debunks the myth that children are victims of circumstance. In this moving work, Kevin P. Chavous argues that children can and will succeed if the educational system provides them with the opportunity to learn. Many of these narratives depict public schools at their worst. Chavous argues that poor communities routinely hire inexperienced teachers, lack resources, and pass kids along until they drop out. Once out of school, these youngsters quickly find out that they are unprepared for the job market. This, he claims, leads many young people to drift into anti-social behavior and turn to gangs, drugs, and unproductive lifestyles. In addition the narratives in this volume also address such social issues as immigration, bad neighborhoods, poor health care, addiction, and child abuse. Chavous highlights how hope for a better future enabled the children whose stories make up this volume to achieve a better life. There are potential challenges at every stage of a child's development and the adults around them need to be nearby and ready to act effectively. Chavous concludes that the need to strengthen families and to rebuild surrounding communities should be the top priorities for society as a whole. |
