Hanging Bridge: Racial Violence and America's Civil Rights Century

Hanging Bridge: Racial Violence and America's Civil Rights Century

Jason Morgan Ward

Oxford University Press
2018
nidottu
Lying just south of Neshoba County, where three civil rights workers were murdered during Freedom Summer, Clarke County lay squarely in Mississippi's -- and America's -- meanest corner. Even at the height of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, when the clarion call for equality and justice echoed around the country, few volunteers ventured there. Fewer still remained. Local African Americans knew why the movement had taken so long to reach them. Some spoke of a bottomless pit in the snaking Chickasawhay River in the town of Shubuta, into which white aggressors dumped bodies. Others pointed to an old steel-framed bridge across that same muddy creek. Spanning three generations, Hanging Bridge reconstructs two wartime lynchings -- the 1918 killing of two young men and two pregnant women, and the 1942 slaying of two adolescent boys -- that propped up Mississippi's white supremacist regime and hastened its demise. These organized murders reverberated well into the 1960s, when local civil rights activists again faced off against racial terrorism and more refined forms of repression. Connecting the lynchings at Hanging Bridge to each other and then to Civil Rights-era struggles over segregation, voting, poverty, Black Power, and Vietnam, Jason Morgan Ward's haunting book traces the legacy of violence that reflects the American experience of race, from the depths of Jim Crow to the emergence of a national campaign for racial equality. In the process, it creates a narrative that links living memory and meticulous research, illuminating one of the darkest places in American history and revealing the resiliency of the human spirit.

New York's Golden Age of Bridges

New York's Golden Age of Bridges

Harold Holzer

Fordham University Press
2011
sidottu
In New York's Golden Age of Bridges, artist Antonio Masi teams up with writer and New York City historian Joan Marans Dim to offer a multidimensional exploration of New York City's nine major bridges, their artistic and cultural underpinnings, and their impact worldwide. The tale of New York City's bridges begins in 1883, when the Brooklyn Bridge rose majestically over the East River, signaling the start of America's "Golden Age" of bridge building. The Williamsburg followed in 1903, the Queensboro (renamed the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge) and the Manhattan in 1909, the George Washington in 1931, the Triborough (renamed the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge) in 1936, the Bronx-Whitestone in 1939, the Throgs Neck in 1961, and the Verrazano-Narrows in 1964. Each of these classic bridges has its own story, and the book's paintings show the majesty and artistry, while the essays fill in the fascinating details of its social, cultural, economic, political, and environmental history. America's great bridges, built almost entirely by immigrant engineers, architects, and laborers, have come to symbolize not only labor and ingenuity but also bravery and sacrifice. The building of each bridge took a human toll. The Brooklyn Bridge's designer and chief engineer, John A. Roebling, himself died in the service of bridge building. But beyond those stories is another narrative—one that encompasses the dreams and ambitions of a city, and eventually a nation. At this moment in Asia and Europe many modern, largescale, long-span suspension bridges are being built. They are the progeny of New York City's Golden Age bridges. This book comes along at the perfect moment to place these great public projects into their historical and artistic contexts and to inform and delight artists, engineers, historians, architects, and city planners. In addition to the historical and artistic perspectives, New York's Golden Age of Bridges explores the inestimable connections that bridges foster, and reveals the extraordinary impact of the nine Golden Age bridges on the city, the nation, and the world.

None of the dozen keys Micala held in her shaking hands would open any of the doors in that hallway which stretched farther than she could see. This was the stuff of a nightmare ... or madness. She wanted to wake up and find herself facing a normal day ... but by then, nothing was normal. Instead she kept trying the keys ... first one, then another ... first one door then another. There was no way in ... or out ... and worst of all, she couldn't keep track of which keys she had tried in which door. She fell to her knees, sobbing. Wanting so desperately to open one door ... any door ... that would let her enter a new world ... away from the hallway she had been trapped in for ... how long had it been ... weeks, months, years? Her life of quiet desperation had sprung a leak and the leak had become a river. She was in danger of being swept away with the torrent of water that was certain to break through the facade holding it back. It was just a matter of time ... tick ... tock ... tick ... tock

THE FOLLOWING IS NOT A TRUE STORY. IT NEVER HAPPENED...Set in 1948 West Berlin during the Soviet Blockade of Berlin and the Berlin Airlift, US Army Infantry Corporal Tony Henriquez and his men are tasked with guarding Tempelhof airbase. The airbase was the focal point of food, medicine, and fuel arriving in the beleaguered city. While on guard duty, he meets a young Berliner, Bernd Dreimann that was there to catch the famous parachute candy bars from the Candy Bomber himself. During the early months of the Airlift, the two form a fast friendship. As the much needed food and medicine was coming in to the city without fail, very few aircraft ever took anything back to the west. All was going well until one day the Soldier stumbles onto a secret operation run by a covert U.S. group. The young Berliner stumbles into the operation when he sees something that questions everything that he knows about a neighbor. Soon the two find out the Soviets have a covert operation of their own and have been running that operation quite effectively. Before they know it, Tony Henriquez and the young Berliner are on a race against time to save Berlin and western Germany from the Soviets and their evil plans.
