Deeper Roots

Autor Katherine Butler Jones
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Deeper Roots: An American Odyssey takes us on a captivating quest both near and far discovering Katherine Butler Jones' family ancestry. Her adventures in New York, Jamaica, W.I., Africa and Europe highlight two deep-rooted beliefs-the importance of knowing one's history and that true learning is often achieved through a connection to the larger world. From the hallways of 409 Edgecombe Avenue in Harlem, her childhood home where her neighbors included future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and social scientist and civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois, to the halls of academia and the front lines of the civil rights movement, Butler Jones' life is a timeless journey of curiosity, discovery and enlightenment. As a result of their life experiences and insight, educator, writer, historian and social activist Butler Jones and her husband - social worker and civic organizer Hubey Jones - instilled in each of their eight children a commitment to education, activism and community. Their children continue the quest. "We are keepers of the dream, the prophets of the future, and the instruments of change." Katherine Butler Jones At the very core of Katherine Butler Jones' captivating memoir is her memory of Harlem, particularly her days at 409 Edgecombe, a historic landmark in the community that Jones recalls so vividly that it's as if the walls were talking. How wonderful to relive these splendid moments with a superb storyteller. Herb Boyd Editor, The Harlem Reader Katherine Butler Jones has written a deeply personal story of strong family and community support. A vivid African American story of overcoming obstacles and forging bonds with Africans, and a moving story of civic participation in pursuit of equality and justice for all. Vivian Johnson, Ed.D. Associate Professor Emerita School of Education, Boston University
