Leadership Secrets of excellent African American Women
African American women have overcome unprecedented adversity historically and have now arisen to a place of grand success and notoriety. Two of my personal favorites among African American women are Rosa Parks and Oprah Winfrey.Rosa Parks was an African American seamstress and civil rights activist whom the U.S. Congress dubbed the "Mother of the Modern-Day Civil rights Movement". Parks is notable for her refusal on December 1, 1955 to obey bus driver James Blake's question that she relinquish her seat to a white passenger. Her subsequent arrest and trial for this act of civil disobedience triggered the Montgomery Bus Boycott, one of the largest and most flourishing mass movements against...

Morels and Other Wild Mushrooms in the History of North American First Nations
While detailed oral histories of First Nations use of indigenous herbs, plants and trees for treatment and cusine are pervasive, very exiguous information of North American aboriginal uses of mushrooms is available. The reasons for this seem self-explanatory.First, most mushrooms and fungi have exiguous taste, sparse nutritional value and exiguous availability due to their short seasons. Because they did not contribute remedy for ailment, their rarity did not contribute a stimulus to hunt them out as remedial aids. In fact, because such a wide variety of fungi and mushrooms are poisonous, they were more likely to be avoided than sought after.Second, most mushrooms, including morels, need to...

The Whosie-Whatsit War - How the French and Indian War Shaped Us History
To call the French and Indian War America's "forgotten war" would be misleading, since that doesn't leave any good nicknames for the Barbary Wars, the War of 1812, the Spanish-American War, the Philippine-American War, or the Korean War. Otherwise, the title fits; the hugely influential French and Indian war, fought in the middle of Britain, France, some Native American nations, and the colonials, is responsible for the fact that, among other things, the Us is down here and French Canada is way up there.Up until the war started in 1754, Britain's then-small strip of North American colonies was hemmed in on all sides by the Atlantic, the French to the north and west, and the Spanish down in Florida...

African American Music; The History Of
When I saw this title, I was afraid and I'm still afraid concerning my understanding about the subject. The field is complex and difficult so I cannot decide it overnight. I am an African. I do things the African way. I cannot write about African American music like a Western scholar. In my culture we live the past and the future in the present. When I listen to some African American music I can feel the past, the gift and the future all at the same time. Now, the best way for me to deal with this field is to work by questions and answers.[Question] Yaya! Who do you think you are?Yaya Diallo - I don't think! I am Farafin, which means I am a dark skin man. The word Africa is the Arabic name for...
