When Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston on June 19, 1865, he was met with an unexpected sightnumerous units of Black soldiers from the United States Colored Troops (USCT) already stationed in the city. To his astonishment, and perhaps chagrin, several thousand more arrived that very day, dramatically shifting the composition of Union forces in Galveston within a mere 24 hours."Juneteenth Resurgence: Legacy of the USCT" delves into this pivotal yet vastly underrepresented moment in American history. While popular narratives glorify President Lincolns Emancipation Proclamation and General Grangers subsequent orders, they often overlook the true enforcers of emancipationthe thousands of African American soldiers whose presence and persistence truly embodied the promise of freedom.Through vivid accounts and meticulous research, this book corrects the historical oversight, bringing to light the courage and determination of the USCT soldiers. It challenges the conventional narratives that have long overshadowed their contributions, offering a more inclusive recount of what truly happened on that historic day.Beyond the battlefield, Juneteenth Resurgence traces the evolution of Juneteenthfrom a grassroots commemoration to a federally recognized holiday. It explores the cultural traditions that shaped its celebrations, the legislative struggles that secured its place in national memory, and its continuing impact on American society. This book invites readers to engage not only with the history but with the living legacy of a day that redefined freedom.This updated and expanded edition also examines the political landscape following the Trump era, the rising momentum of Pan-Africanism and global Black unity, and the enduring leadership of Black women in sustaining community resilience. It offers a clear strategy to safeguard Juneteenth against commodification, appropriation, and the subtle erasure efforts of those who would seek to distort or destroy its meaning.

Weve been fighting the wrong enemy.For years we chased material poverty (not enough resources), time poverty (not enough hours), and meaning poverty (not enough purpose). The Poverty Behind Poverty argues that each of these is a frozen picturea snapshot Thought uses to manage a world that never stops moving.Material poverty = a frozen picture of resources Time poverty = a frozen picture of motion Meaning poverty = a frozen picture of value The real poverty = perception lossliving by snapshots instead of the flow of life With a voice that is both poetic and practical, Yram Hossoo puts Thought on trial for "framing" reality and shows how to melt the frames without hating the tools, the messengers, or the systems that carry our messages. The cure isnt more hours or louder meaning. The cure is seeing motion againthen moving with it.What youll learn How to spot the ten most common Thought counter-moves (Irony Trap, Emotional Decoy, Social Mirror, Data Deluge, False Balance, and more) that make clarity look ridiculous. The MoF (Mechanics of Faith) way to measure real progress: hours-back, stress-down, errors-downreceipts, not rhetoric. Simple perception drills that turn awareness into action in under two minutes. How to defend flow in community with Appendix F: The Collective Protocol (a repeatable 20-minute weekly ritual) and to keep compassion alive with Appendix G: The Freeze Ecology (how thought adapts after exposure). Why this book nowIn a world of automation, media noise, and performance spirituality, we no longer need bigger arguments; we need cleaner perception. This book is a scalpel for fog. Read it in one sitting; use it for a lifetime.For readers of: Viktor Frankl, David Foster Wallace (nonfiction), James Clear (systems that stick), Brian McLaren/Richard Rohr (contemplative clarity), and anyone tired of hype.Tagline:Stop fighting pictures. Restore flow.

Still Learning is India Oxenbergs intimate, first-person account of how she was lured into and, seven years later, escaped from the NXIVM cult, DOS.As the secret sorority within NXIVMs vast Ponzi network, DOS was created by Keith Raniere and his acolytes to serve as a source of "slaves" to Keith and the other "masters". Despite the fantastical headlines, the focus of Still Learning reflects what many parents and age peers of Indias will recognize as a far more familiar 20-something conundrum - a new adult trying to discover who she is, and in the process second-guessing the advice of parents, concerned siblings, and close friends who prove to be all too right - about a romantic partner, a sharp turn off of a hard-won educational track, or a dangerous group like NXIVM. Indias is a surprisingly relatable "adulting" tale set amidst one of the most alarming news stories of the day, rich with data on warning signs that distinguish exploration from exploitation.This is much more than a survival story; its a deeply personal reflection on how to come out (or help a loved one come out) the other side intact, still hopeful, and remarkably adult.

How many drafts do you write? Do you create an outline? Do you use an editor? Do you? Do you? Do you? Though the answers vary in these pages, there are common denominators. As author and writing instructor Maureen Ryan Griffin says, "We all start with a blank page." And as David Baldacci puts it, "Theres no perfect place to write." Writers make do with what they have to work with. Take author and columnist Scott Fowler, who has earned 18 national APSE writing awards. He says, "I dont go off to the mountain to write. I just go upstairs." Or, as professor, author, and editor Michele Berger says, "A long time ago I said to myself, I can write anytime, anywhere." Humility seems to be helpful to getting it done. As New York Times bestselling novelist John Hart says, "If a writer becomes hubristic, or begins to take this for granted, or really just thinks he can roll out of bed and bang it out without a lot of effort, thats the first step on the road to destruction."
