Durrill Abstract Rehearsal for Redemption: The Politics of Post-Emancipation Violence in Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region By James Michael Rhyne In the late antebellum period, changing economic and social realities fostered conflicts among Kentuckians as tension built over a number of issues, especially the future of slavery. Local clashes matured into widespread, violent confrontations during the Civil War, as an ugly guerrilla war raged through much of the state. Additionally, African Americans engaged in a wartime contest over the meaning of freedom. Nowhere were these interconnected conflicts more clearly evidenced than in the Bluegrass Region. Though Kentucky had never seceded, the Freedmen’s Bureau established a branch in the Commonwealth after the war.

    30 THE HIP HOP WARS executives will read this book, see themselves as part of the solution, and work harder to develop community-enabling ways to stay in busi- ness. This book is for everyone who feels uneasy about commercial hip hop —some who know that something is really wrong but can't name it; others who are working to make hip hop the kind of cultural nourishment it can be but are getting very little help to fix it; and still others who remain sidelined, worried that jumping into the fray PART ONE means being forced to take impossible sides in an absurdly polarized battle.

  • Download the African American History Readings List
    In the Age of Social Media and national chaos, almost everyone holds and shares passionate opinions on race and politics in America. However, as technology-driven platforms routinely encourage sound bites and abridged nuggets of communication as standard forms of information sharing, people often accept and pass along headlines and briefs as the primary informants to their perspectives and miss out on deep reading. This does not mean people do not want or have an interest in more comprehensive insight. In fact, this list was compiled in response to common requests for reading recommendations in Black history. The nation is transforming and all kinds of people are seeking to make sense of the world in which they find themselves. There is also an ever-growing movement to build a new one. But, how? The first step medical doctors usually take in determining a route toward healing and general wellness is to reference an individual’s medical history. Perhaps, then, a serious, honest and deep study of Africans in United States and world history will be one of our society’s most decisive steps toward general wellness. So much of this list is comprised of writings from Ancestors, activists, historians, scholars, creatives and others who, with time-consuming effort and minimal compensation, recorded major epochs, events and issues within the Black experience. To ignore their work is to ensure our demise. Semi-understanding race and the making of America will lead to futile opinions without solutions and more cycles of the same. Remember, a valuable doctor is an intensely informed one, and we must all serve as surgeons operating for a new day with a new heartbeat.
