Since the 1960s, most U.S. History has been written as if the civil rights movement were primarily or entirely a Southern history. This book joins a growing body of scholarship that demonstrates the importance of the Northern history of the movement. The contributors make clear that civil rights in New York City were contestedin many ways, beginning long before the 1960s, and across many groups with a surprisingly wide range of political perspectives. Civil Rights in New York City provides a sample of the rich historical record of the fight for racial justice in the city that was home to the nation's largest population of African-Americans in mid-twentiethcentury America.The ten contributions brought together here address varying aspects of New York's civil rights struggle, including the role of labor, community organizing campaigns, the pivotal actions of prominent national leaders, the movement for integrated housing, the fight for racial equality in public higher education, and the part played by a revolutionary group that challenged structural, societal inequality. Long before the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the Reverend Adam Clayton Powell Jr. helped launch the Harlem Bus Boycott of 1941. The New York City's Teachers' Union had been fighting for racial equality since 1935. Ella Baker worked with the NAACP and the city's grassroots movement to force the city to integrate its public school system. In 1962, a directaction campaign by Brooklyn CORE, a racially integrated membership organization, forced the city to provide better sanitation services to Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn's largest black community. Integrating Rochdale Village in South Jamaica, the largest middle-class housing cooperative in New York, brought together an unusual coalition of leftists, liberal Democrats, moderate Republicans, pragmatic government officials,and business executives.In reexamining these and other key events, Civil Rights in New York City reaffirms their importance to the larger national fight for equality for Americans across racial lines.

Keri, the blacksmith's son, hoped for a little more time between his first kiss and his last, but war and the weather wouldn't wait. One of thirty drafted, he and his friends find their stumbling romances are interrupted by a desperate forty-day trek through a snow-buried wilderness to the king. Disasters both natural and man-made defy their passage. Then the wolfpack shows up: unnaturally large, unnaturally led, unnaturally anxious to stop them. Blood in the snow forces an unsteady Keri into physical and spiritual leadership roles he must master immediately... or die.Placed in Viking Russia, The Ballad of the Blacksmith's Son is a YA adventure following village youth through a new imposed faith, a new future, and the challenges of new bodies with new desires. Haunted by a mute orphan and a one-eyed madman, Keri tries to juggle Christian ideals, secular wisdom, and patriotic duty both at home and into a battle with nature. Author Rick Taylor draws on his military and teaching careers to bring his characters to life. ("I stole their dialogue!") He uses his spiritual and literary background to surround them with layers of meaning.
