Produktbeschreibung

The Civil Rights Movement is a milestone in American history that can help us think more clearly about today's movement for social and political change, which can sometimes be influenced or misguided by the media. We all must seize the opportunity to shape our own post-civil rights era and redefine what civil rights means to us today and in the future. Inspiring African-American Women of the Civil Rights Movement 18th, 19th, and 20th Centuries is just one glimpse into the lives of twenty very brave and courageous African-American women, who fought to protect the civil rights of African-Americans and ultimately changed the course of history. As you read this book, I will: ? Give a more in-depth understanding about the true meaning of the freedom and equality in America. ? Provide an awareness of the struggles of the civil rights movement to the racial injustices of the Jim Crow laws. ? Bring attention to important relationships that developed along the way of each womans journey based on the civil rights cause. ? Depict a timeline of events of each crusaders journey. Above all: ? Highlight the incredible accomplishments of African-American women, who have contributed to our nations greatness even in the face of certain danger and personal tragedy in the name of freedom and equality. Be inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and embrace all that African-American history has to offer because it truly is an important part of American history. The Civil Rights Movement challenged racism in America and because of civil rights crusaders like Rosa Parks and Harriet Tubman, the country is a more just and humane society for us all.

With over 25 years of experience in human resources, she has worked in both the private and public sectors as a human resources and human capital professional. Over Kelley's personal life and professional career, she has provided mentorship to students, colleagues, and other professionals. Kelley holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Claflin University (Orangeburg, SC) and a Master of Arts degree from George Mason University (Fairfax, VA). She has also written two self-help books, Preparing for Success in Corporate America - College Guide (2006) and Corporate Navigation - Charting Your Success (2012). Kelley navigates through life with a positive attitude and views herself as a "glass is half-full" kind of person. She firmly believes that people with a positive attitude and optimistic outlook will see and find opportunities that others simply will not. One of her favorite quotes is by Cadet Maxim: "Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is wise. Expect more than others think is possible." Inspiring African-American Women of the Civil Rights Movement - 18th, 19th, and 20th Centuries is a turning point for Kelley, as she wants to focus more of her love for writing on books geared toward younger readers. She sees this as a great opportunity to broaden and help shape the lives of the younger generation. A native of Florence, S.C., Kelley currently lives in Northern Virginia with her family. She is also a motivational speaker who believes that self-empowerment, self-awareness, and self-motivation are the ingredients necessary to take control of our lives, reach our full potential, and transform our goals into desired actions and outcomes. While writing is her passion, Kelley also enjoys reading a variety of books, traveling around the world to explore other cultures and as many Caribbean islands as possible, and preparing specialty recipes for her husband and biggest fan, Andre. Kelley is looking forward to publishing more books on the historical achievements of Africa-Americans and other types of children's books. She is also working on completing her first cookbook and trying her hand at playwriting. This is Kelley's third published book. La Shawn Kelley values and welcomes your feedback.
