A history of a college town, Davidson, NC, told in autobiography by an African-American barber who lived a 20th century of unparalleled change. Ralph Johnson, 96, caught in the poverty-ridden rule of Jim Crow customs, tells of struggles against disadvantage, unbelievable today, to get ahead. Of frugal, intense personal discipline, correspondence courses, self-schooling and hard work. As he moved into the post world war II years and his efforts began to find some success -- his 7-chair shop was one of the largest in the south -- he suddenly became the 1967 target of desegregation picketers who demanded he sacrifice his business to try to settle the centuries old curse of segregation. After a difficult, divisive struggle of a community with itself, Mr. Johnson's peacefully became the first publicly integrated barber shop anyone knew of in the South if not the nation and its demise followed shortly thereafter. Trying to understand what happened to him and why is a very personal puzzle in this eloquent, gripping life story as well as a life changing experience for any serious reader.

Download The Makers of the Sacred Harp Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This authoritative reference work investigates the roots of the Sacred Harp, the central collection of the deeply influential and long-lived southern tradition of shape-note singing. Where other studies of the Sacred Harp have focused on the sociology of present-day singers and their activities, David Warren Steel and Richard H. Hulan concentrate on the regional culture that produced the Sacred Harp in the nineteenth century and delve deeply into history of its authors and composers. They trace the sources of every tune and text in the Sacred Harp, from the work of B. F. White, E. J. King, and their west Georgia contemporaries who helped compile the original collection in 1844 to the contributions by various composers to the 1936 to 1991 editions. The Makers of the Sacred Harp also includes analyses of the textual influences on the music--including metrical psalmody, English evangelical poets, American frontier preachers, camp meeting hymnody, and revival choruses--and essays placing the Sacred Harp as a product of the antebellum period with roots in religious revivalism. Drawing on census reports, local histories, family Bibles and other records, rich oral interviews with descendants, and Sacred Harp Publishing Company records, this volume reveals new details and insights about the history of this enduring American musical tradition.

In 1979, there were fewer than 500 known Christians from a Muslim background in Iran. Today there are at least 100,000 believers . Church leaders believe that millions can be added to the church in the next few years ' such is the spiritual hunger that exists. The religious violence that accompanied the reign of President Ahmadinejad drained its perpetrators of political and religious legitimacy, and has opened the door to other faiths. This book sets the rapid church growth in Iran in the context of the deteriorating relationship between Iranians and their national religion. There is a major focus on the Ahmadinejad years, but the author also covers the history of the church before 1979, picking up on the central idea that the spark may have become buried in the ashes but has never been extinguished. The book is careful, proportionate, well-informed and accurate. Throughout the text there will be boxes with stories of faith, persecution, and encouragement.
