This nonfiction book for middle-grade readers shows artistic images about the history of an African American neighborhood in Fayetteville, North Carolina- its people, values, traditions and culture. All segments of the College Heights population (schools, university and community) came together to paint a one block long mural called the 'Wall of Honor'.High school social worker Dorothy Fielder conceived the project for her at risk students who enjoyed trips. Rather than painting nationally known figures, they chose to honor the local heroes- people in their own neighborhood who lived good lives worth emulating. The artwork has been updated and maintained by the community for over 25 years.The mural describes scenes of life and culture in Africa, the voyage through the middle passage, and enslavement in America. It shows people who organized to resist injustices of the Jim Crow era, and people in a multitude of professions who worked to sustain families, churches, and organizations. The mural profiles people who participated in building a strong stable community through education, hard work, faith, and unity.Along with 20 full page images of the wall, this book provides the literary expression of the philosophy behind each wall panel. It tells the story of everyday heroes and heroines who may not be stars, but who plod through hard times -facing struggles, and overcoming challenges- for little recognition beyond their small circle. This neighborhood mural project is a public reminder for the people who view it that you don't have to be a figure on the national stage to make a difference. We all have an important role to play in our own families, churches, organizations, and communities: to combine our forces to do positive things in the world. This book is the first of a series. Future installments are intended to expand on the biographies of the people depicted on the Wall of Honor, and add to it, with family members and neighbors submitting the stories of other people who have contributed to building a strong community.

Dr. the Right Excellent Sir Kennedy Alphonse Simmonds, the only living National Hero of St. Kitts and Nevis, was the first Prime Minister of this great country. He contested nine general elections--1966, 1971, 1975, 1980, 1984, 1989, 1993, 1995 and 2000--the most in our history since adult suffrage in 1952. This book chronicles Sir Kennedy's humble upbringing in Basseterre's Rosemary Lane. At the age of nine, Sir Kennedy entered the St. Kitts-Nevis Grammar School on an entrance scholarship as one of the youngest-ever pupils. Although he never kept a diary, Dr. Simmonds uses his powerful memory for meticulous detail to walk his reader through university and medical school, and on to his early career as an anaesthesiologist. His historic foray into Caribbean politics is a must-read documentary of how this twin-island state (which was once tripartite) was guided out of colonialism without further fragmentation. Sir Kennedy's is a life well-lived. He loved the arts, literature, music, and theatre, often playing the lead in dramatic productions. He was a leader in school and in the Methodist Church Sunday School. His love of cricket, soccer, American football, baseball, tennis and basketball is passionate and pervasive, and his words ring with the enjoyment he takes in these activities. His disciplined no-nonsense approach to duty belies his easygoing "one of the boys" style in his leisure time, which is colourfully reflected in this volume. His love for family, camaraderie, a ready laugh, his genuineness as a friend and his modest appreciation for the finer things in life, are the things one remembers most clearly about Sir Kennedy. Nothing went to his head and he was never susceptible to greed or envy.Sir Kennedy talked about publishing his more important speeches, but that idea morphed into this conversational recollection of his great life, transcribed while he is yet vibrant, at peace with himself, and able to enjoy the accolades he so richly deserves.Dr. the Right Excellent Sir Kennedy Alphonse Simmonds belongs in the pantheon of National Heroes of St. Kitts and Nevis. He played a vital role in one of the most tumultuous periods in the history of the modern Caribbean, showing poise, grace and dogged determination.

Drinking from a Different Well: How Women's Stories Change What Power Means in Action is dedicated to young activist Greta Thunberg - and encourages older women to aid our younger cohort in reversing the damage competitive narratives pose to our collective survival. Author Annette Simmons stresses the importance of perceptual agility, gender awareness, empathy, and self-validation in making space for women's narratives in decision-making.The book looks at the genius of women's narratives about power, and tracks how men often misunderstand female contexts. It maps out a cohesive way to blend male and female power in the workplace, and to redefine success in a way that protects people, profits, and the planet.Building effective power structures depends on accommodating both competitive and collaborative narratives - both are vital to decision-making. When women's narratives are part of the conversation, conflict suddenly becomes a creative resource instead of a power struggle. Drinking from a Different Well guides readers in how to investigate the core assumptions needed to shift business, government, and even family cultures from an exclusive mindset of win-lose to one of collaborative narratives. Learning how to toggle back and forth between both mindsets not only honors multiple perspectives, it endows decisions with a sense of fairness for all involved.Packed with investigations into women's narratives, the book delves into the role of instincts, perceptions, judgment, and ownership, and looks at the paradox of gendered points of view, the differences in the female and male view of power, and the critical importance of avoiding power struggles. Business and global affairs are filled with modern-day Cassandras - but Drinking from a Different Well provides a powerful strategy for blending perspectives to best solve today's challenges. The book's reader's guide and discussion questions make this an invaluable text for leadership study groups.Annette Simmons, M.ED, is the CEO of Group Process Consulting and best-selling author of five books. She has been featured on CNBC's Power Lunch, NPR's Market Watch, numerous talk radio programs, and quoted in Fortune, Working Woman, Harvard Business Review, The Chicago Tribune, and Washington Post. She is valued for her expertise in social psychology and leadership development. Learn more at www.differentwell.com
