Journalist Jo Napolitano delves into the landmark case in which the School District of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was sued for refusing to admit older, non-English speaking refugees and sending them to a high-discipline alternative school. In a legal battle that mirrors that of the Little Rock Nine and Brown v. Board of Education, 6 brave refugee students fought alongside the ACLU and Education Law Center to demand equal access.

Larry Krasner spent thirty years learning about America’s carceral system as a civil rights and criminal defense lawyer in Philadelphia, working to get some kind of justice for his clients in a broken system, before deciding that the way to truly transform the system was to get inside of it. So he launched an unlikely campaign to become the district attorney of Philadelphia, a city known for its long line of notorious “tough on crime” DAs who had turned Philly into a city with one of the highest rates of incarceration in the country.

Im Kampf gegen die Corona-Pandemie ergreifen Staaten Maßnahmen, die sonst nur in Kriegszeiten denkbar wären. Ohne Parlament werden beispiellose Einschränkungen der Freiheit beschlossen und umgesetzt. Nicht nur Menschen, auch Grundrechte sind in Quarantäne. Not kennt kein Gebot? Falsch! Not braucht das Gebot des Grundgesetzes. Heribert Prantls Hörbuch ist eine Streitschrift für die Grundrechte: Wir müssen uns vor dem Virus schützen, zugleich aber auch vor Schäden am Betriebssystem Demokratie.

Ranging from the age of slavery to contemporary injustices, this groundbreaking history of race, gender and class inequality by the radical political activist Angela Davis offers an alternative view of female struggles for liberation. Tracing the intertwined histories of the abolitionist and women's suffrage movements, Davis examines the racism and class prejudice inherent in so much of white feminism, and in doing so brings to light new pioneering heroines, from field slaves to mill workers, who fought back and refused to accept the lives into which they were born.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was one of the most important leaders of the movement to gain American women the vote. But, as Vivian Gornick argues in this passionate, vivid biographical essay, Stanton is also the greatest feminist thinker of the 19th century. Endowed with a philosophical cast of mind large enough to grasp the immensity that women's rights addressed, Stanton developed a devotion to equality uniquely American in character. Her writing and life make clear why feminism as a liberation movement has flourished here as nowhere else in the world.

Part biography, part history, part love story, A Small Town Rises chronicles the lives of two civil rights activists who met in the tiny cotton town of Shaw at the tail end of the Mississippi Summer Project, the voting-rights campaign known as Freedom Summer. Shaw was, like countless segregated towns across the South, a pressure cooker of violent white resistance to the growing civil rights movement. The two young freedom fighters joined forces in 1964 with local Black activist Andrew Hawkins.

One of the most important African-American leaders of the 20th century and perhaps the most influential woman in the civil rights movement, Ella Baker (1903-1986) was an activist whose remarkable career spanned 50 years and touched thousands of lives. A gifted grassroots organizer, Baker shunned the spotlight in favor of vital behind-the-scenes work that helped power the Black freedom struggle.

One of America's most historic political trials is undoubtedly that of Angela Davis. Opening with a letter from James Baldwin to Davis, and including contributions from numerous radicals such as Black Panthers George Jackson, Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale, and Erica Huggins, this book is not only an account of Davis's incarceration and the struggles surrounding it, but also perhaps the most comprehensive and thorough analysis of the prison system of the United States.

This book is a general introduction to advocacy for change that many sectors of the United States of America want to see. It aims to support such a call by providing essential information based on real facts and events; the truth of which, no one can deny. I have always tried to make this book echo reality in a way that makes people aware of the need to abolish racism, xenophobia, and the air of the ethnic cleansing trend.

What is libertarianism? This is the political philosophy that asks but one question, and gives but one answer. The question? When is force or the threat of force justified? The answer? Only in response to, in defense from, or in retaliation against the prior use of violence against a person or his legitimately owned property.

Hay muchas regiones de este mundo en las que las niñas no son deseadas y se les mata, en su mayoría antes o después de su nacimiento, esto es lo que se conoce como infanticidio. Matar a los bebés antes o después de su nacimiento es un crimen contra la humanidad y es ilegal en todo el mundo. Se trata de una historia real en la que se detalla cómo una niña fue destrozada por sus padres con sólo 3 días de vida y abandonada a su suerte.

The host of CNN Tonight with Don Lemon is more popular than ever. As America’s only Black prime-time anchor, Lemon and his daily monologues on racism and antiracism, on the failures of the Trump administration and of so many of our leaders, and on America’s systemic flaws speak for his millions of fans. Now, in an urgent, deeply personal, riveting plea, he shows us all how deep our problems lie, and what we can do to begin to fix them.

Rights are a sacred part of American identity. Yet they were an afterthought for the Framers. Only as a result of the racial strife that exploded during the Civil War—and a series of resulting missteps by the Supreme Court—did rights gain such outsized power. Over and again, courts have treated rights conflicts as zero-sum games in which awarding rights to one side means denying rights to others. As eminent legal scholar Jamal Greene shows in How Rights Went Wrong, we need to recouple rights with justice—before they tear society apart.

Democrats love to revise American history because as a Democrat, they are understandably ashamed of their past. Maybe it is time to set the record straight on some things using the actual historical and congressional record. Here is a timeline of the party from its beginning in 1830 until 2020.

On growing up in the American South of the 1960s - an all-American white boy - son of a long line of Methodist preachers, in the midst of the civil rights revolution, and discovering the culpability of silence within the church. By the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and columnist for The Birmingham News.

Eine Frau aus Lübeck soll ein Bußgeld in Höhe von 178 € zahlen, weil sie einen Spaziergang am menschenleeren Strand in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern gemacht hat. Was nach einem schlechten Aprilscherz klingt, ist nur ein kleiner Teil einer langen Reihe irrwitziger Ereignisse und Meldungen, die seit Frühjahr 2020 die Tagespresse kennzeichnen. Die gegenwärtigen Grundrechtseinschränkungen zur Bekämpfung der Covid19-Pandemie sind die schwersten, die der deutsche Bürger seit Inkrafttreten des Grundgesetzes ertragen musste.

Ce livre est une introduction générale au plaidoyer pour le changement que de nombreux secteurs des États-Unis d'Amérique souhaitent voir. Il vise à soutenir un tel appel en fournissant des informations essentielles basées sur des faits et des événements réels dont personne ne peut nier. J'ai toujours essayé de faire en sorte que ce livre fasse écho à la réalité d'une manière qui rend les gens conscients de la nécessité d'abolir le racisme, la xénophobie et l'air de la tendance au nettoyage ethnique.

"The Year of Birmingham", 1963, was a cataclysmic turning point in America's long civil rights struggle. Child demonstrators faced down police dogs and fire hoses in huge nonviolent marches against segregation. Ku Klux Klansmen retaliated by bombing the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, killing four young Black girls. Diane McWhorter, daughter of a prominent Birmingham family, weaves together police and FBI records, archival documents, interviews with Black activists and Klansmen, and personal memories into an extraordinary narrative....

Some of the most iconic images of the Civil Rights Movement are those of young people engaged in social activism, such as children and teenagers in 1963 being attacked by police in Birmingham with dogs and water hoses. But their contributions have not been well documented or prioritized. The Young Crusaders is the first book dedicated to telling the story of the hundreds of thousands of children and teenagers who engaged in sit-ins, school strikes, boycotts, marches, and demonstrations.

From the New York Times best-selling author of Stony the Road and one of our most important voices on the African-American experience, a powerful new history of the Black church in America as the Black community's abiding rock and its fortress.
