Legacy of Trauma and Abuse

This story is a page turner. I was hooked from beginning to end. The abuse against girls and women on many levels is universal.

This an awesome depiction of what an enslaved person was will to do to be free. I also details what some people were willing to do in order to right the wrong of enslaving. The relationship between Kitty and Mary is heartwarming.

When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive. Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

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.

Keeping Your Head Up for All the Right Reasons
Revisado: 01-08-17
Would you consider the audio edition of Hidden Figures to be better than the print version?
At times. I can continue listen while I am driving.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Hidden Figures?
Memorable moment- understanding that no matter what significant achievement was made by the Black female calculators, they were still perceived as insignificant by white counterparts. In spite of the sub standard treatment they endured, they persevered. and kept doing the jobs they were hired to do with, no parade.
Which character – as performed by Robin Miles – was your favorite?
Mary- she was always steadfast.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Phenomenal Black Women Who Put America In the Lead in the Space Race
Any additional comments?
LOVED the BOOK!!

Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells - taken without her knowledge - became one of the most important tools in medicine: The first “immortal” human cells grown in culture, which are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than 60 years. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bomb’s effects.

Seldom does a book have the impact of Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow. Since it was first published in 2010, it has been cited in judicial decisions and has been adopted in campus-wide and community-wide reads; it helped inspire the creation of the Marshall Project and the new $100 million Art for Justice Fund; it has been the winner of numerous prizes, including the prestigious NAACP Image Award; and it has spent nearly 250 weeks on the New York Times best seller list.
