Download or read book To Save America written by Newt Gingrich and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The message of this extraordinary election [in November 2010] is clear enough: the American citizenry has rejected the secular dogma, socialist policies, and machine-driven politics that comprise the Obama agenda. Now, the question is whether President Obama and his Democratic Party will accept the will of the people and change the destructive course upon which they have set this country. . . . [F]irst and foremost, Republicans must fight to dislodge the secular-socialist machine whose methods and goals are described in this book. This machine has driven America so deeply into debt, and has so fundamentally changed the relationship between the American citizenry and our government, that our childrenâ??s future is now imperiled. We cannot assume that after the 2010 election, the machine will simply accept the will of the people. After all, the very purpose of a political machine is to thwart the will of the people.

Download or read book The Last Slave Ship written by Ben Raines and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “enlightening” (The Guardian) true story of the last ship to carry enslaved people to America, the remarkable town its survivors’ founded after emancipation, and the complicated legacy their descendants carry with them to this day—by the journalist who discovered the ship’s remains. Fifty years after the Atlantic slave trade was outlawed, the Clotilda became the last ship in history to bring enslaved Africans to the United States. The ship was scuttled and burned on arrival to hide the wealthy perpetrators to escape prosecution. Despite numerous efforts to find the sunken wreck, Clotilda remained hidden for the next 160 years. But in 2019, journalist Ben Raines made international news when he successfully concluded his obsessive quest through the swamps of Alabama to uncover one of our nation’s most important historical artifacts. Traveling from Alabama to the ancient African kingdom of Dahomey in modern-day Benin, Raines recounts the ship’s perilous journey, the story of its rediscovery, and its complex legacy. Against all odds, Africatown, the Alabama community founded by the captives of the Clotilda, prospered in the Jim Crow South. Zora Neale Hurston visited in 1927 to interview Cudjo Lewis, telling the story of his enslavement in the New York Times bestseller Barracoon. And yet the haunting memory of bondage has been passed on through generations. Clotilda is a ghost haunting three communities—the descendants of those transported into slavery, the descendants of their fellow Africans who sold them, and the descendants of their fellow American enslavers. This connection binds these groups together to this day. At the turn of the century, descendants of the captain who financed the Clotilda’s journey lived nearby—where, as significant players in the local real estate market, they disenfranchised and impoverished residents of Africatown. From these parallel stories emerges a profound depiction of America as it struggles to grapple with the traumatic past of slavery and the ways in which racial oppression continues to this day. And yet, at its heart, The Last Slave Ship remains optimistic—an epic tale of one community’s triumphs over great adversity and a celebration of the power of human curiosity to uncover the truth about our past and heal its wounds.

Download or read book Save American Jobs written by abraham K Turkson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hope has always said to Americans tomorrow will be better than today. Always, until now. Because if you are a computer programmer, engineer, accountant, manager or a factory worker, you are filled with fear, instead of hope, for your job may disappear overnight. If you are a small sized entrepreneur, the big company you've serviced from the beginning of your existence may call in the middle of the night to inform you they will no longer buy from you; they are buying from overseas. And these are the stories unfolding in communities across America. Fear, not hope, is stalking many an American. The information superhighway that was supposed to have been the road to high-paying jobs for Americans has instead turned into one on which offshore outsourcing is killing many jobs. If it is allowed to continue, America's foundation built over many generations will be weakened. To save existing jobs in America and create new ones, Dr. Abraham Turkson has suggested new ideas to reduce costs to make businesses in America more competitive, provide private healthcare for all Americans, and stop oil imports. And none of the suggestions involves raising taxes. Hope must be reborn across America.
