His life is his art form, the people in it are his characters, his experiences the story. You can be a part of it. The walls of narrow-mindedness, complacency, and conformity are no longer. Unified are spirits afire, breaking through and shining magnificently, so that nothing save the light itself could possibly exist. The feeling is warm, the taste is like honey. Always Up Against It is a unique collection of poems. It is a chemical reaction of thoughts, emotions, and experiences from an individual who speaks on behalf of us all. In a world of struggles against society, conformity, and self, Always Up Against It delivers a refreshingly insightful perspective on the trials of life.

Download or read book Up Against the Wall written by Curtis J. Austin and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2008-03-01 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Curtis J. Austin’s Up Against the Wall chronicles how violence brought about the founding of the Black Panther Party in 1966 by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, dominated its policies, and finally destroyed the party as one member after another—Eldridge Cleaver, Fred Hampton, Alex Rackley—left the party, was killed, or was imprisoned. Austin shows how the party’s early emphasis in the 1960s on self-defense, though sorely needed in black communities at the time, left it open to mischaracterization, infiltration, and devastation by local, state, and federal police forces and government agencies. Austin carefully highlights the internal tension between advocates of a more radical position than the Panthers took, who insisted on military confrontation with the state, and those such as Newton and David Hilliard, who believed in community organizing and alliance building as first priorities. Austin interviewed a number of party members who had heretofore remained silent. With the help of these stories, Austin is able to put the violent history of the party in perspective and show that the “survival” programs, such as the Free Breakfast for Children program and Free Health Clinics, helped the black communities they served to recognize their own bases of power and ability to save themselves.
