This first biography of W. Glenn Killinger highlights his tenure as a nine-time varsity letterman at Penn State, where he emerged as one of the best football, basketball and baseball players in the United States. Situating Killinger in his time and place, the author explores the ways in which home-front culture during World War I--focused on heroism, masculinity and sporting culture--created the demand for sports and sports icons and drove the ascent of college athletics in the first quarter of the 20th century.

Race Conscious Pedagogy

Race Conscious Pedagogy

Todd M. Mealy

McFarland Co Inc
2020
pokkari
In 1935, W.E.B. Du Bois asked, "Does the Negro need separate schools?" His stunning query spoke to the erasure of cultural relevancy in the classroom and to reassurances given to White supremacy through curricula and pedagogy. Two decades later, as the Supreme Court ordered public schools to desegregate, educators still overlooked the intimations of his question. This book reflects upon the role K-12 education has played in enabling America's enduring racial tensions. Combining historical analysis, personal experience, and a theoretical exploration of critical race pedagogy, this book calls for placing race at the center of the pedagogical mission.

The N-Word in Music

The N-Word in Music

Todd M. Mealy

MCFARLAND CO INC
2022
pokkari
The minstrelsy play, song, and dance "Jump, Jim Crow" did more than enable blackface performers to spread racist stereotypes about Black Americans. This widespread antebellum-era cultural phenomenon was instrumental in normalizing the N-word across several aspects of American life. Material culture, sporting culture, consumer products, house-pets, carnival games and even geographic landmarks obtained the racial slur as a formal and informal appellation. Music, it is argued, was the catalyst for normalizing and disseminating those two ugly syllables throughout society, well beyond the environs of plantation and urban slavery. This weighty and engaging look at the English language's most explosive slur, described by scholars as the "atomic bomb" of bigoted words, traces the N-word's journey through various music genres and across generations. The author uses private letters, newspaper accounts, exclusive interviews and, most importantly, music lyrics from artists in the fields of minstrelsy, folk, country, ragtime, blues, jazz, rock 'n' roll and hip hop. The result is a reflective account of how the music industry has channeled linguistic and cultural movements across eras, resulting in changes to the slur's meaning and spelling.

There I Was and Here I Am speaks to a life's journey.The story is about triumph over adversity - following the course of a young boy from a poor family with the dream of flying. The story follows him through his life's pursuit of that dream.The book is divided into the four seasons of life. Each season begins with the life cycle of a drop of water, starting as a snowflake and ending in the sea. It also deals with the two powerful forces always at work inside each of us - a good and a bad wolf, each fighting for dominance.Spring takes him from a troubled childhood and difficult times in the early school years to his enlistment into the United States Marine Corps, his service in Vietnam at just nineteen years of age, his return back to the "real world" and his struggles with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).Summer follows him into college, Air Force Reserve Officers Training and the overcoming of numerous obstacles along the way. It also follows his entrance into and successfully completion of Air Force pilot training, his career in the Air Force and an emotional breakdown experienced during the transition from military service into civilian life.Fall finds our hero searching for a job flying with an airline company and summarizes the challenges he faces in his pursuit of happiness. It culminates with the successful completion of both - the winning of those elusive dreams.Winter - the shortest chapter - is about his retirement, family, children, friends he made along the way and some brief reflections.It may seem like fiction at times. It is not. It is completely true and accurate to each fact and detail. There are many bizarre events along the way, including the people who come into his life and leave, only to return again. He comes through the entire experience and realizes how he has been blessed beyond all measure - even or perhaps because of - all the hoops he had to jump through to get him there. All the while, he recognizes he has a guardian angel who is watching over him.It is a beacon for readers looking for direction in their lives. It reminds us all to never accept "no" for an answer, but instead, to view it as a challenge. You will be reminded to never give up on yourself or your dreams and to never give less than one hundred percent of yourself in the search of life. It will make you believe that dreams can come true, but they don't just come to you. You have to actively seek them out and work hard for them.
