On February 2, 2019, the skies over Maynardville, Tennessee, filled with the roar of four F/A-18F Super Hornets streaking overhead in close formation. In each aircraft were two young female flyers, executing the first all-woman Missing Man Formation flyover in Navy history in memory of Captain Rosemary Mariner - groundbreaking Navy jet pilot, inspiring commander, determined and dedicated leader - whose drive to ensure the United States military had its choice of the best America had to offer broke down barriers and opened doors for female aviators wanting to serve their country.

Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.

MUST READ to understand human DAMAGE of racism
Revisado: 05-20-21
I'm literally at a loss for words and still feeling horrified at what I learned, from these heart wrenching first-hand accounts, has happened to children, the intellectually disabled, and so many poor people of color in our so called Justice system. Just read it. Have your teens read it. Get this in the hands of everybody who thinks they're not a racist... especially in places like Alabama and Louisiana where RIGHT NOW state legislature is trying to pass laws PROHIBITING discussion of critical race theory and America's racist past in classrooms to preserve the white supremacy agenda.

Historia5 out of 5 stars 146
On 20 June 1994, a gunman opened fire on the patrons and staff of the Fairchild Air Force Base hospital. Four days later, a B-52 bomber with four souls onboard went down in a fiery crash. Hundreds of ordinary men and women experienced the tragedies...countless others had struggled to prevent them. Everyone who met the would-be gunman thought he was odd, but the disturbed airman struck fear in those who knew him. Doctors had him committed to a military psychiatric ward, only to watch him slip through the cracks of a broken system.

The memories of that day came flooding back...
Revisado: 03-22-18
I knew Dr. Alan London. My husband and I chatted with him outside his office 5 minutes before he was killed.
Thank you Andy Brown for writing this book and filling in so many holes about that day.
Oh...and I was walking out of the BX that Friday, the 24th, buying a sympathy card to take to Dr. London's memorial service. I saw the B-52 crash.... thanks for all the research you did to document the SYSTEMIC idiocy that allowed that damn hot dog F15 pilot wannabe to continue flying and endangering others. I had NO idea that the copilot's teen son's and wife watched the crash. Dear Lord....
Lastly Andy, I'm thrilled to hear your life is joyful in Spokane, a community I love and maintain ties to still.
God bless you and your family.

Before John Glenn orbited the Earth or Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of dedicated female mathematicians known as "human computers" used pencils, slide rules, and adding machines to calculate the numbers that would launch rockets and astronauts into space. Among these problem solvers were a group of exceptionally talented African American women, some of the brightest minds of their generation.

If you were captivated by the characters you saw on screen, you will be drawn in FULLY to the rest of the details of Kathryn, Mary and Dorothy's fantastic lives. You'll meet many other extraordinary women of this time and see how together - black and white women - they put the first cracks in NASA's glass ceiling. See their tenacity, read about their professional journeys complete with obstacles due to sexism, institutional bias, and laws of the time. Appreciate the grace with which they navigated the systems they found themselves in as they contributed their intellect to America's greatest adventure. Inspirational? That doesn't even begin to cover it. Share this book with a young lady, a teenager even... and tell her to challenge herself and never hold back to unlock the FULL potential of her talent.

If your life depends on water, this is a MUST READ
Revisado: 12-08-16
the narrator does an astounding job bringing this uniquely intriguing and terrifying apocalyptic scenario to life. What happens to the American southwest when the lakes evaporate and rivers and water become war zones? What happens when the drought never ends? Can you imagine Americans as refugees within our own borders, not allowed to move between states?
