 A114-Women of the Civil Rights Movement $6.48 Women Who Dare: Women of the Civil Rights Movement by Linda Barrett Osborne One of the photographs in this moving little book has become an icon of the civil rights struggle: two women and a man, their forms blurred and nearly obscured by a head-high wall of flying water, cling to one another. Their faces are turned from the firehose blast-a good idea, since a shot in the face would blind them-but their feet are firmly planted. They are not going anywhere under pressure. Women did much of the heavy lifting during the battle for civil rights: organizing, registering voters, encouraging flagging spirits, not to mention marching, getting beaten up, and going to jail; but few of their names are well known. Women of the Civil Rights Movement shows us why we should know those names and recall them with respect. Add to Cart View Cart |
 A133 Women Who Dare: Marian Anderson $6.48 64 pages, 5 3/4 x 6 1/2 inches - Smyth-sewn casebound, with jacket/More than 40 black and white images; bibliography included. Introduction by James H. Billington, Library of Congress Marian Anderson sang opera and spirituals, performing for rapt audiences around the globe. Barred because of her race from performing at Constitution Hall, Anderson performed a free concert at the Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday 1939. Broadcast nationwide via radio and drawing a live audience of 75,000, Anderson's performance highlighted the gap between her nation's stated intentions and its "separate but equal" realities. This book brings to light Anderson's dramatic and selfless life with engaging text and rare photographs. Add to Cart View Cart |

 AA259 - Romare Bearden Jigsaw Puzzle$8.98 - Up at Minton’s, 1980, by Romare Bearden (1911–1988). Much of Romare Bearden’s art is impelled by, and suffused with, music. His raggedy Deep South blues pickers, Kansas City R&B shouters, Caribbean drummers, and smooth New York jazz bands provide a euphony of subjects to match his mastery of composition. The hot lights and cool jazz of the paint-augmented collage Up at Minton’s are classic Bearden. To the visual and tactile satisfactions of working a jigsaw puzzle, Up at Minton’s adds the pleasure of imagining the sounds of this horn-bass-piano trio in full stride. Thoughtfully conceived and engagingly intricate, our 1,000-piece interlocking jigsaw puzzles combine superb color reproduction, stunning and unusual images, and sturdy construction to delight generations of novice and veteran puzzleworkers. Puzzle size: 20 x 27". 1,000 interlocking pieces; finished puzzle: 20 x 27 inches |
