Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginia was a battleground state in the struggle to implement Brown v. Board of Education, with one of the South’s largest and strongest NAACP units fighting against a program of noncompliance crafted by the state’s political leaders. Keep On Keeping On offers a detailed examination of how African Americans and the NAACP in Virginia successfully pursued a legal agenda that provided new educational opportunities for the state’s black population in the face of fierce opposition from segregationists and the Democratic Party of Harry F. Byrd Sr. Keep On Keeping On is the first book to offer a comprehensive view of African Americans’ efforts to obtain racial equality in Virginia in the later twentieth century. Brian J. Daugherity considers the relationship between the various levels of the NAACP, the ideas and actions of other African American organizations, and the stances of Virginia’s political leaders, white liberals and moderates, and segregationists. In doing so, the author provides a better understanding of the connections between the actions of white political leaders and those of black civil rights activists working to bring about school desegregation. Blending social, legal, southern, and African American history, this book sheds new light on the civil rights movement and white resistance to civil rights in Virginia and the South.

Book excerpt: This is the story of Ron Davis, a charismatic young man who struggled to beat a 12 year addiction to drugs, only to be brutally murdered at the age of 39. The story of his parents, Brooks and Jean Davis, two ordinary people with extraordinary courage, who barely overcome one tragedy, only to be dealt another. A story of faith. Though Ron stumbled many times on the path to overcoming his addiction, he never once gave up the fight, always believing that victory was possible. A story of hope. Just as Ron never lost faith in himself, Brooks and Jean never lost faith in their son. Nor did they stop believing that the man responsible for Ron's murder would eventually be brought to justice-despite a crushing series of blows in a legal battle that lasted nearly eight years. A story of miracles and promise. Over ten years after his death, Ron Davis continues to touch the lives of a great many people. His legacy serves as a reminder that good can still come from even the worst of circumstances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Gregory Wheeler has assembled a nice assortment of his poetry that revolves around the many emotions we have in life. Titled poems like, "Damn You Fear," "Comfort I Seek," or "Parents Do Care" can touch on the sensitive things we deal with personally or in families, whereas "Heart to Heart," "Fishing in the Boat," or "A Good Teacher" can inspire, and be uplifting in ways. There are so many more, and to think this is just the first book of poetry can be exciting for the future. For Gregory Wheeler poetry was an inspiration from his early years where his sister who had suffered from Multiple Sclerosis, wrote her own poetry even with her later years being totally bedridden. Sort of a family tradition, as his grandmother also wrote from time to time. Poetry has a way of finding the emotions that are stored deep from within. These trigger the words that compel one to begin. For Gregory Wheeler, after raising three children in some of the tougher times during the 80's and 90's many components of life gave him a wealth of things to write about. He started with a book called "A Distant Reality" that covered many trials and tribulations concerning his life and that of his family. A blend of poetry was mixed in and complimented his story. A few of those poems are also included in this book.
