  • Solitary

    Albert Woodfox

    Paperback (Text Publishing Company, April 18, 2019)
    Solitary is the unforgettable life story of a man who served more than four decades in solitary confinement - in a 6-foot by 9-foot cell, 23 hours a day, in notorious Angola prison in Louisiana - all for a crime he did not commit. That Albert Woodfox survived was, in itself, a feat of extraordinary endurance against the violence and deprivation he faced daily. That he was able to emerge whole from his odyssey within America's prison and judicial systems is a triumph of the human spirit. His book is a clarion call to reform the inhumanity of solitary confinement in the U.S. and around the world. It highlights the systematic racism in the US judicial system, offering stark reminders of the equivalent conditions suffered by indigenous Australians. Arrested often as a teenager in New Orleans, inspired behind bars in his early twenties to join the Black Panther Party because of its social commitment and code of living, Albert was serving a fifty-year sentence in Angola for armed robbery when on April 17, 1972, a white guard was killed. Albert and another member of the Panthers were accused of the crime and immediately put in solitary confinement by the warden. Without a shred of actual evidence against them, their trial was a sham of justice that gave them life sentences in solitary. Decades passed before Albert gained a lawyer of consequence; even so, sixteen more years and multiple appeals were needed before he was finally released in February 2016. Aware that anger or bitterness would destroy him in solitary confinement, sustained by the shared solidarity of two fellow Panthers, Albert turned his anger into activism and resistance. The Angola 3, as they became known, resolved never to be broken by the inhumanity and corruption that effectively held them for decades as political prisoners. He survived to give us Solitary, a chronicle of rare power and humanity,that proves the better spirits of our nature can thrive against any odds.

  • Shaw's Fortune: The Picture Story of a Colonial Plantation

    Edwin Tunis

    Hardcover (World Publishing Company, March 15, 1966)
    "Shaw's Fortune" chronicles daily life on a Virginia tobacco plantation during two periods of time. The first part is set in the 1650's as Alan Shaw and his wife Margaret consolidate a series of smaller landholdings into a commercial plantation. The story jumps a hundred years to 1752 when "Shaw's Fortune" has become one of Virginia's largest plantations. Edwin Tunis was one the finest illustrators to ever work on children's books. Tunis was fascinated by American material culture. In his many books, Tunis showed his readers how things were made in the years before the industrial revolution. "Shaw's Fortune" is filled with ingenious illustrations showing such ordinary things as how tobacco was pressed into wooden barrels and how corn was ground in water mills. Edwin Tunis books are a pleasure for both parent and child. After you have read one, you will easily find yourself trying to collect all of his work. Highly recommended. (amazon customer)
