In the 1950s the notorious House Un-American Activities Committee launched a ruthless smear campaign and outright attack against hundreds of labor leaders, teachers, leftists, Communists, civil servants, filmmakers, civil rights activists, and many others it accused of conspiring to overthrow the government. On the basis of little or no evidence individuals were dragged before HUAC and harassed and threatened. Many lost their jobs or were jailed if they did not cooperate with a Committee that flagrantly trampled the right of freedom of speech and condemned individuals for association with progressive causes. One man who stood tall and refused to cooperate with the diabolical Committee was Lee Brown, an African American labor activist and a leader of an interracial union of waterfront workers in New Orleans. For his courageous act Brown soon lost his freedom but not his dignity. He was tried and unjustly convicted of violating the Taft-Hartley Act that prohibited Communist Party members from also serving as the leaders of labor unions. Brown spent more than two years in federal prison but his militancy and commitment to the struggle for workers' rights and civil rights remained undiminished. Strong in the Struggle tells the powerful story of the political awakening of Brown as a youth from the rural South, his life from childhood among poor black farmers, his encounters with the Jim Crow system of racial segregation and racial violence, his discovery of the changes that could be won when working people organized into unions, his rise to leadership and his time of imprisonment, and his continuing advocacy of the ideals of racial equality and socialism. Told in his own words, it is an engaging story that follows him as a young man from Louisiana to Texas as a shipyard worker, to Arizona as a railroad worker, to Los Angeles and Hollywood where he worked in restaurants and as a bit-part actor during World War II, to the docks of New Orleans and the great hotels of San Francisco as the Civil Rights an

'Where do flies go in the winter? Through Denton to Hyde (hide).' This old music hall joke is probably the only reference most people had regarding Denton, apart from hats. The sixteenth century saw the introduction of the felt hat-making industry, to which Denton owed its rise from an obscure hamlet to an important manufacturing town. By 1825, there were twenty-five hatting firms and Denton was the third largest hat-making centre in the North West. It was here that the famous Trilby hat was designed by the Denton Hat Company, which was a best-seller around the world for many years. However, the town boomed in the mid- to late 1950s, as it no longer relied solely on hatting for prosperity. This unique selection of old and new images and informative captions will be essential reading for anyone who knows and loves this town.

[ WHAT IF THE GOD YOU BELIEVE IN DOESN'T EXIST? ]What we belive about God is the firm foundation upon which life, the universe, and everything is built. Even if we say there is no God, each of us has something that defines ultimate reality. This foundation, therefore, is the most important piece of our brain or spirit, science or theology, that we could explore.If every single one of us believes in something that defines all reality, even if it is just ourselves, then where did we get these beliefs? How did we come to believe what we believe about the most important question ever asked? Most importantly, what if the God we belive in, doesn't exist?This book begins with a question... THE question. Who Is This God Person, Anyway? The answer may not be 42, but it does give us the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Pastor and author Lee Brown poses this all important question as he invites you into the most life-changing conversation of all. Sprinkled throughout with personal reflection and life stories, as well as a healthy dose of outright nerdery, "Who Is This God Person, Anyway?" is the perfect book for anyone who has questions about God, the universe, and everything, but doesn't want to spend a bunch of time reading theological tomes.

Cattle prices are down, the drought is on, and the note on the ranch is due. The Two-E Ranch is everything that Cass Elkins ever thought she wanted. Now that she has it, keeping it is the only thing she can’t do. She needs a rain or a lot of cash. If the devil knocked on her door, she’d make a deal. After all, there are worse things. Like reality television. The devil doesn’t show, so she tries out for the new reality program, “Tough Target.” With a million dollars to win---minus taxes, of course---Cass hocks her dignity to save her pride. But the devil might have been easier.
