Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "The twelve months leading up to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination. Martin Luther King, Jr. died in one of the most shocking assassinations the world has known, but little is remembered about the life he led in his final year. Tavis Smiley recounts the final 365 days of King's life, revealing the minister's trials and tribulations -- denunciations by the press, rejection from the president, dismissal by the country's Black middle class and militants, assaults on his character, ideology, and political tactics, to name a few -- all of which he had to rise above in order to lead and address the racism, poverty, and militarism that threatened to destroy our democracy. A portrait of a leader and visionary and an exceptional glimpse into King's life -- one that adds both nuance and gravitas to his legacy as an American hero"--Provided by publisher.

Abbott, the first Canadian-born Black to graduate from medical school in Toronto (in 1861). In Family Secrets Catherine Slaney narrates her journey along the trail of her family tree.

-- Black nation :2013., Adult, Between the Lines Edition: eBook ed. Summary Note: "In the 1960s, for at least a brief moment, Montreal became what seemed an unlikely center of Black Power and the Caribbean left. In October 1968 the Congress of Black Writers at McGill University brought together well-known Black thinkers and activists from Canada, the United States, Africa, and the Caribbean -- people like C.L.R. James, Stokely Carmichael, Miriam Makeba, Rocky Jones, and Walter Rodney. Within months of the Congress, a Black-led protest at Sir George Williams University (now Concordia) exploded on the front pages of newspapers across the country -- raising state security fears about Montreal as the new hotbed of international Black radical politics"--Provided by publisher.
