Fifty years after Freedom Summer, To Write in the Light of Freedom offers a glimpse into the hearts of the African American youths who attended the Mississippi Freedom Schools in 1964. One of the most successful initiatives of Freedom Summer, more than forty Freedom Schools opened doors to thousands of young African American students. Here they learned civics, politics, and history, curriculum that helped them instead of the degrading lessons supporting segregation and Jim Crow and sanctioned by White Citizen's Councils. Young people enhanced their self-esteem and gained a new outlook on the future. And at more than a dozen of these schools, students wrote, edited, printed and published their own newspapers. For more than five decades, the Mississippi Freedom Schools have served as powerful models of educational activism. Yet, little has been published that documents black Mississippi youths' responses to this profound experience. Views: 9

Trouble in the Forest Book One: A Cold Summer NightTerror Stalks the King’s Woods ... From acclaimed author Chelsea Quinn Yarbro writing as Trystam Kith comes the first book in the Trouble in the Forest duology, a medieval fantasy that turns all too quickly to terror. Deep in the forest, trouble is brewing. No one is safe in the thick, dark forest—no peasant, monk, minstrel, merchant, traveler, forester, or King's man may go into the forest without taking his life and his soul in his hands. Those who dare the deep green are found dead soon after, or worse–disappear. Only former Crusader Hugh deSteny is prepared to lead the fight against the bloodthirsty denizens of the forest, and he knows that the enemy he faces could damn him eternally if he loses the battle. Armed with precious knowledge, deSteny must undertake the fight of his life to preserve the forest and all who live within it from certain catastrophe - and a fearsome enemy the likes of which none save him have ever faced before. Fact vs. Legend: FACT: Richard Lionheart bankrupted England twice in his thirteen year reign. FACT: Prince John was left with the job of bailing England out of his brother’s profligacy the only way he could—by raising taxes. FACT: Prince John possessed over 300 books and had read them all. FACT: Unlike the Norman rulers before him, or the next four to come after, Prince John actually spoke the language of the common English people, as well as French, Latin, Greek, and Roman Vulgate (early Italian). FACT: There were outlaw bands all over England. The rest is myth, legend, speculation fictional devices, and outright lies. Views: 9
