Download or read book Lillian Carter written by Grant Hayter-Menzies and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written with the cooperation of President Jimmy Carter and his family, this book provides an intimate glimpse inside the life of the woman who--as nurse, mother and social justice activist in segregated southwest Georgia--made a lifelong habit of breaking the rules defining a woman's place in and out of the home and the status of blacks in society. As the only white nurse in her rural community who cared for black families, as a 68-year-old Peace Corps Volunteer in 1960s India, as a fearless supporter of civil rights and as a First Mother unlike any other, Lillian Carter showed how individual courage, conviction and compassion can make a difference. Drawing on interviews with friends and colleagues, members of the Plains, Georgia, black community, Peace Corps Volunteers who trained with her, White House insiders and key players in the civil rights movement, as well as letters, documents and photographs never before made public, this book captures the essence of the woman the press dubbed "Rose Kennedy without the hair dye" and "First Mother of the world."

Download or read book Silent Courage written by George P. Lee and published by Shadow Mountain. This book was released on 1987 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "George P Lee was taught by his father in all ways of the Navajo. He grew up on the reservation just like other Navajo boys. He learned to hunt prairie dogs for food, to herd sheep, to work in the bean fields of Colorado to help support his family, and to worship the Navajo religion - a religion that pervaded every aspect of life. But George P. Lee was different from other boys, too. His sacred name was Boy Who Is Well Behaved and Good, and he tried to live up to that name by honoring his parents and working hard. He was receptive to things of the Spirit, and through the example and help of faithful Latter-day Saints, he was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This young Navajo became one of the first students on the Church's Indian Student Placement program, and he rapidly became a leader at school. Seeing the value of a good education and wanting to help his people, he attended Brigham Young University and eventually earned a doctorate in education. He served as the president of a college in Arizona and as a mission president. Finally, he was called as a General Authority of the Church. Silent Courage is the fascinating autobiography of this great man. The book will be of great value to the Indians, showing them that they can overcome their problems and succeed, both on and off the reservation. And it will help all Church members better understand the problems, needs, and destiny of the Lamanite people."--Book jacket.
