Описание: "Triumph Can Come From Tragedy: Teaching Children a Lesson in Social Justice" Emmett Till: "Sometimes Good Can Come Out of a Bad Situation" is an immersive, thought-provoking story about a family passing on the legacy of the civil rights movement by learning about a 14-year-old boy who was murdered for whistling at a woman. The author gently but boldly diverges a story from Mississippi's once racially, hatred-filled atmosphere to create her first in a series of children's civil rights books set in the Magnolia State. Long-time devotees of the author's playful children's book that dispels rumors and misnomers about Mississippi: "Up North, Down South: City Folk Meet Country Folk" and new fans of this rip-roaring brand of children's story: Emmett Till: "Sometimes Good Can Come Out of a Bad Situation" - real, raw, yet hopeful and encouraging - join together in praise as this proven writer breaks into a new space. Emmett Till: "Sometimes Good Can Come Out of a Bad Situation" opens in a home in rural Mississippi with Renee King, a curious, young 5th grade girl, with a book in her hand asking her mother, Tonya, "Mommy, what's wrong with his face?" Careful not to stir up racial tension, Tonya calls the entire family into the living room to have a teachable moment of morality, social equality and optimism. The idea for Emmett Till: "Sometimes Good Can Come Out of a Bad Situation" came as Rankin covered a number of civil rights stories and couldn't shake the historical relevance in today's political climate. The first line of the book: "Mommy, what's wrong his face?", sat in the back of Rankin's mind for nearly a year before a trip back home to Mississippi gave her the perfect setting for telling the story in an age-appropriate manner for middle school students. In the book, the back dirt roads and the loving atmosphere of her mother's home provides the backdrop for a disturbing tale of abduction and deception, but leaves you with a sense of hope and that one day justice would be attainable. Select Praise for Emmett Till: "Sometimes Good Can Come Out of a Bad Situation": "Using her journalistic brilliance, Katina Rankin has created a book that can be used in various ways: in curriculum, for parents, for conflict resolution or for any opportunity to create a dialogue. With the aid of this book, children can express their feelings about race relations in their communities; and they can identify and address their fears about the climate of racism in America today." -Airickca Gordon-Taylor, Till Family "Katina Rankin eloquently introduces a whole new generation to Emmett Till, and reminds us that in order to move forward we must be honest with our past. I highly recommend this book to anyone trying to help young people understand the roots of the Civil Rights Movement struggle." -Patrick Weems, Director of Till Interpretive Center
Writing is what makes masterminds, legends, creators, builders, developers, and brings the heart and soul out of experiences and into the lives of those around us. Writing is the place on earth where no one can control our thoughts, no one else has an opinion, and most of all it's self-expression. Why write about it? To share it perhaps. To mold it, form it, structure it, and to basically say just what you want to say. Or perhaps in the mind of a writer, you'd ask the question, well, why can't you just say what you mean if there was something on your mind? First and foremost, no one's a mind reader. And half the time, when telling a long-ago story, the ands and buts are never really understood, and all the characters are he and she. And jumping to "then I" is then, well, where did "you" go? And the listener is like, "I don't understand a word you just said." The business world is the same way: you find yourself always depicting how things could be better another way and what the company could use that would make the company a lot better. Again, the boss isn't a mind reader too. That's why Fourteen Articles That Will Increase Your Desire for Writing is a valuable book. Not only will it increase your motivation, make you laugh, and all the oohs and ahhs; but it will also build your ingenuity and your desire to self-express through writing. The networking, blogs, and hacks will be your style and way of thinking and not written in someone else's words.

In the late 1800s, archaeologists began discovering engraved stone plaques in Neolithic (3500-2500 BC) graves in southern Portugal and Spain. About the size of one's palm, usually made of slate, and incised with geometric or, more rarely, zoomorphic and anthropomorphic designs, these plaques have mystified generations of researchers. What do their symbols signify? How were the plaques produced? Were they worn during an individual's lifetime, or only made at the time of their death? Why, indeed, were the plaques made at all?
Employing an eclectic range of theoretical and methodological lenses, Katina Lillios surveys all that is currently known about the Iberian engraved stone plaques and advances her own carefully considered hypotheses about their manufacture and meanings. After analyzing data on the plaques' workmanship and distribution, she builds a convincing case that the majority of the Iberian plaques were genealogical records of the dead that served as durable markers of regional and local group identities. Such records, she argues, would have contributed toward legitimating and perpetuating an ideology of inherited social difference in the Iberian Late Neolithic.

The storytelling provides insight for children on how to be bold and brave. Select Praise for March on Children: "The Story of James Meredith's March Against Fear": "Every black over 30-years-old should read this book and teach their children all of their history. Anyone who doesn't know their history is doomed to repeat it." James Meredith Ole Miss - 1962 "Ms. Rankin's book about James Meredith is right on point. In the 1960's, he was a loner, impassive by the Civil Rights Movement because he strongly believed the U.S. Constitution is all that is needed to guarantee his rights as a citizen. This wonderfully written book helps children to understand who James Meredith really is, and why, from an early age, he began a mission to change Mississippi and America into a better place for all citizens. Stylistically, her vivid storytelling, without a doubt, is a spellbinding experience for any child. I hope Ms. Rankin's book will be used by educators across the country as a viable tool to teach children in their early learning process the "truth" about James Meredith and why he believes the word "citizen" is the most important one in the U.S. Constitution." Judy Alsobrooks Meredith, Ph.D
