The discovery of gold in the Colorado Rockies during the last century was to change the face of the mountains--and the fledging state--forever. Thousand of people poured into this region in search of wealth, and small settlements grew into thriving communities almost overnight. The lodes ran out, but they left behind the foundations of some of the Wests's most dynamic cities.There are still riches in the Colorado mountains, but for many the riches are the mountains themselves. People still flock to the Centennial State, but now they come to escape the pressures of twentieth-century life in this, one of the most scenic regions of the world.

The early 1900s was a dangerous time for African American men, whether famous or nameless. Punishment from any perceived transgression against the Jim Crow power structure came swiftly in legislative, emotional, or physical form, and it could well take one's life. Despite this reality, however, a number of African Americans still lifted their heads, straightened their spines, and spoke and acted against the mainstream. In Booker T. & Them: A Blues, poet and playwright Bill Harris examines what he calls "the age of Booker T." (1900-1915), when America began flexing its imperialistic muscles, D. W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation was released, and Thomas Edison's many technological innovations set the tone for the United States to be viewed as the nation of the century.In the historical and imaginative narrative of this "bio-poem," Harris considers several African Americans who sought to be men that mattered in a racist America, including Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. DuBois, William Monroe Trotter, George Washington Carver, and Jack Johnson, as he traces their effects on history and each other. In tandem, he visits white historical figures like Thomas Edison, Theodore Roosevelt, and D. W. Griffiths as well as some invented characters like students and professors at the Tuskegee Institute. Throughout, Harris shows that the rapid pace of early twentieth-century American change, progress, and science coincided with persistent and reinvented forms of white supremacy. Harris's exciting structure offers varied rhythms and a blues sensibility that showcases his witty lines and vivid imagery.As a follow-up to his 2009 work Birth of a Notion; Or, the Half Ain't Never Been Told, this book extends Harris's critical and experimental examination of American history by presenting evidence for a greater understanding of these men and the cultural forces that shaped them. Readers interested in African American studies, American culture, and contemporary poetry will appreciate the unique perspective of Booker T. & Them: A Blues.
