1000 tulosta hakusanalla Eunie Gray
This book offers a unique look inside an African American sharecropper family, through the eyes and memories, of Mrs. Eunie Mae Gray. The fourth child in a family of fourteen children, Eunie Mae, was raised poor in material things, and rich in family, and community ties. The story Eunie Mae tells provides an interesting contrast to today. Born during World War I, Eunie Mae lived during the Jim Crow era in the south, the Great Depression, Race Riots, changes in farming that led to the end of sharecropping, and the start of World War II. Her first hand account is a delight to read.

Ernie Harwell, Hall of Fame broadcaster and "Voice of the Detroit Tigers", for 42 years, broadcast six decades of baseball history to fans all over America. He was calling Brooklyn Dodger's games when Jackie Robinson was breaking the color barrier, he was doing New York Giants play by play in 1951 when Willie Mays began his Hall of Fame career, and the Giants won the Pennant on Bobby Thompson's "shot heard 'round the world". In his years with the Tigers he called two World Championships and the exploits of Al Kaline, Denny McClain, Jack Morris, Kirk Gibson, and many other great players on his WJR radio broadcasts. Although My Father's Faith is set against the backdrop of Ernie Harwell's amazing experience in baseball, it's not just a sports book. It's a very personal story of my dad's spiritual journey, as seen through the eyes of his youngest son. If you're a fan who often listened to my dad's broadcasts, if you were a baseball or media professional who knew him as a colleague, or one of his many friends, I think you'll enjoy this book. You'll discover how his challenging childhood in Atlanta affected his early perspective in life, how an experience in his second year with the Tigers changed things dramatically for him, and how he became the amazing man we knew and loved.

The moment in 1970 that I discovered this largest of three sand spits lying south of Cuba, I sensed an aura that settled around me. I had island hopped from Jamaica to Trinidad, loved them all, but none gripped me as this one did. Within hours of my arrival I had become obsessed with the desire to live in the earlier era that Grand Cayman represented. I felt as if I'd taken a time step backwards to a simpler life. The Caymanians welcomed me like a belonger, on the one hand, and on the other as someone extra special. One flatterer considered me akin to a queen bee. I was among a handful of American, British, and Canadian expatriates who fell in love at that time with an Eden we were privileged to settle on. Caymanians encouraged us to enjoy the amenities they themselves took for granted. Gratefully, we chose to ignore the occasional inconvenience that came with the territory. We felt honored to live among our hospitable new friends. Many of the expatriates I came to know lived there for years before and after me. This book is to share my witness of the early-on transition of not only Grand Cayman but also its sister islands, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. The aura I'd sensed over several years sadly dissipated with modernization, yet the fascination with the trio continues undaunted among the millions who now enjoy the archipelago every year, unaware that it had been an unsophisticated wonderland.. When I moved there, I had no idea what to expect. Every day was a delight to wake up to-sunny and surprising. What a paradise to introduce my edgy teenagers to. They'd be intrigued too, wouldn't they? Against their original rejection, necessity sent them down to me in my paradise. The plot then thickened.

A new biography of one of the key composers of 20th-century American popular song and jazz,Eubie Blake: Rags, Rhythm and Race illuminates Blake's little-known impact on over 100 years of American culture. A gifted musician, Blake rose from performing in dance halls and bordellos of his native Baltimore to the heights of Broadway. In 1921, together with performer and lyricist Noble Sissle, Blake created Shuffle Along which became a sleeper smash on Broadway eventually becoming one of the top ten musical shows of the 1920s. Despite many obstacles Shuffle Along integrated Broadway and the road and introduced such stars as Josephine Baker, Lottie Gee, Florence Mills, and Fredi Washington. It also proved that black shows were viable on Broadway and subsequent productions gave a voice to great songwriters, performers, and spoke to a previously disenfranchised black audience. As successful as Shuffle Along was, racism and bad luck hampered Blake's career. Remarkably, the third act of Blake's life found him heraldedin his 90s at major jazz festivals, in Broadway shows, and on television and recordings. Tracing not only Blake's extraordinary life and accomplishments, Broadway and popular music authorities Richard Carlin and Ken Bloom examine the professional and societal barriers confronted by black artists from the turn of the century through the 1980s. Drawing from a wealth of personal archives and interviews with Blake, his friends, and other scholars,Eubie Blake: Rags, Rhythm and Race offers an incisive portrait of the man and the musical world he inhabited.
Ernie O'Malley (1897-1957) was one of the most talented and colourful of modern Irish republicans. An important IRA leader in the 1916-1923 Irish Revolution, this bookish gunman subsequently became a distinguished intellectual, and the author of two classic autobiographical accounts of the revolutionary period: On Another Man's Wound and The Singing Flame. His post-revolutionary life took on a bohemian flavour. Travelling extensively in Europe and America, he mixed with a wide range of artistic and literary figures, and devoted himself to a variety of writing projects. In his IRA career he mixed with revolutionaries such as Michael Collins and Eamon de Valera; in his post-IRA years his friends included Samuel Beckett, Louis MacNeice, John Wayne, and John Ford. This important new thematic biography draws on previously unseen archival sources, and introduces O'Malley to both scholarly and general readers. O'Malley's post-revolutionary life was as turbulent as his IRA years, and illuminates many persistent themes of Irish history, ranging from the origins and culture of militant republicanism and the complexities of Anglo-Irish relations to the development of intellectual and artistic life in twentieth-century Ireland. This exciting new biography will be essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the background to modern Irish politics and the past and present role of the IRA.
This biography introduces Ernie O'Malley, whose post-revolutionary life was as turbulent as his IRA years. It also illustrates many persistent themes of Irish history, ranging from the origins and culture of militant republicanism to the development of intellectual and artistic life.
Among the pioneers of television, Ernie Kovacs was one of the most original and imaginative comedians. His zany, irreverent, and surprising humor not only entertained audiences throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, but also inspired a host of later comedies and comedians, including Monty Python, David Letterman, much of Saturday Night Live, Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, Captain Kangaroo, and even Sesame Street. Kovacs created laughter through wildly creative comic jokes, playful characterizations, hilarious insights, and wacky experiments. "Nothing in moderation," his motto and epitaph, sums up well Kovacs's wholehearted approach to comedy and life. In this book, Andrew Horton offers the first sustained look at Ernie Kovacs's wide-ranging and lasting contributions to the development of TV comedy. He discusses in detail Kovacs's work in New York, which included The Ernie Kovacs Show (CBS prime time 1952–1953), The Ernie Kovacs Show (NBC daytime variety 1956–1957), Tonight (NBC late-night comedy/variety 1956-1957), and a number of quiz shows. Horton also looks at Kovacs's work in Los Angeles and in feature film comedy. He vividly describes how Kovacs and his comic co-conspirators created offbeat characters and zany situations that subverted expectations and upended the status quo. Most of all, Horton demonstrates that Kovacs grasped the possibility for creating a fresh genre of comedy through the new medium of television and exploited it to the fullest.
With his own voice and through his own eyes, Ernie the Donkey tells of a lifetime of wonder and service. He was born on a farm in Onondaga County, spent a short youth as a barnyard animal of the old Syracuse Zoo, and then was sent to a horse pasture with 40 other animals. The Youth Group of Plymouth Church found him there, borrowing him each year for a Palm Sunday walk in downtown Syracuse. When they learned he was to be sold, they raised the money and bought him. One church family was convinced to keep him in a pasture across from their LaFayette home. The rest is history. Ernie spent a long career appearing in Palm Sunday walks, Christmas tree lighting ceremonies and live Nativities, and in the neighborhood "Posada," a tradition learned from the villages of Nicaragua. He lived to a ripe old age of 38, as far as we can count.
