Extractions: Biographies and Memoirs Holocaust Charles Lindbergh Alexander, Adele Logan - Homelands and Waterways : The American Journey of the Bond Family : Nation, Race, and Kinship, 1846-1926 (July 1999) John Robert Bond, son of a white Englishwoman and a black laborer on the Liverpool waterfront, became a sailor in the American Union Navy and married Emma Thomas, a Virginia woman born into slavery, in 1865. Chronicling their lives and those of their children and grandchildren, the author (their great-granddaughter Adele Logan Alexander) presents a dramatic family saga intertwined with a sweeping account of the black experience in America from 1846, the year of John's birth, to 1926, when Emma died at age 80. Most of the Bonds were talented, determined, and successful beyond the normJohn and Emma's progeny included a prosperous businessman and a Radcliffe graduate who was a close friend of W.E.B. Du Boisbut Alexander firmly links their story to the struggles and suffering of all African Americans, delineating with blistering matter-of-factness the galling restrictions they faced every day in every generation.
Extractions: Enter your email address here: Every once in awhile, I receive blank stares from lawyers after I tell them how much a good web site will cost. "There is no way we can pay $3,000 or even $5,000 for a web site," they'll say. Even if they realize the costs are justified (because it can take over 50 hours of work to design a web site properly) they'll argue they simply cannot afford the price. What some people fail to realize is that if the web site generates one new client in its first year, then it will have paid for itself. And in truth, a properly designed site will attract many more clients than that, while also creating a professional image for their law firm. Instead, attorneys often try a "compromise" technique - spending $999 for a template of ten pages that they can put online themselves. But lacking design and internet marketing background, they unknowingly create sites that are unprofessional and unhelpful - thereby losing potential clients.

Bella's forthright, forceful manner and flamboyant appearance may often have inspired controversy and criticism in the American political arena, yet this very serious woman spent her lifetime dedicated to public service and activism on behalf of the oppressed and ignored. She gained fame nationally as the first Jewish woman elected to the US Congress and later internationally as a leader in the global women's movement, where she made a lasting impression among younger activists for her "courage and dominating spirit to speak out for women and be heard."
