The New York Times bestselling author of George Washington's Secret Six and Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates turns to two other heroes of the nation: Theodore Roosevelt and Booker T. Washington.When President Theodore Roosevelt welcomed the country’s most visible Black man, Booker T. Washington, into his circle of counselors in 1901, the two confronted a shocking and violent wave of racist outrage. In the previous decade, Jim Crow laws had legalized discrimination in the South, eroding social and economic gains for former slaves. Lynching was on the rise, and Black Americans faced new barriers to voting. Slavery had been abolished, but if newly freed citizens were condemned to lives as share croppers, how much improvement would their lives really see? In Teddy and Booker T., Brian Kilmeade tells the story of how two wildly different Americans faced the challenge of keeping America moving toward the promise of the Emancipation Proclamation.Theodore Roosevelt was white, born into incredible wealth and privilege in New York City. Booker T. Washington was Black, born on a plantation without even a last name. But both men embodied the rugged, pioneering spirit of America. Kilmeade takes us to San Juan Hill, where Roosevelt led his Rough Riders to a thrilling victory that set the stage for a legendary presidency, and to a small town in Alabama, where Washington founded the first university for African Americans, paving the way for the Civil Rights Movement. Both men abhorred the decadence and moral rot the nation had fallen into, believed that improvement through careful collaboration was possible, and trusted that the American ideals of individual liberty and hard work could propel the neediest toward success, if only those holding them back would step aside.As he did in George Washington's Secret Six, Kilmeade has transformed this nearly forgotten slice of history into a dramatic story that will keep you turning the pages to find out how these two heroes, through their principles and courage, not only changed each other, but helped lay the groundwork for true equality.

A self-love deck with powerful affirmations to transform the way you see yourself and the world around you—cards for daily motivation, inspiration, and reflective healing.Self-Love Affirmations & Reflections is a portable deck that can be incorporated into a daily ritual or called upon for stress reduction, solace, or connection. Cards present an opportunity to sit meaningfully with yourself, one small step at a time. Scientific research reveals that positive affirmations can rewire the neural networks in our brains. When paired with an ethos of self-love, these affirmations become a tool for perspective change and hardwired transformation. In other words, when we commit to embodying self-love through affirmations, we see it ripple through every area of our lives. Unlike a book, the goal with a deck is not to “finish” it. The value is returning to it again and again, allowing yourself small increments of time to foster deeper self-compassion.        52 cards with empowering affirmations to encourage positive self-talk and establish a ritual of sitting compassionately with yourself.        Intentional reflections come with each affirmation to take you deeper into the inquiry of the self—your deepest truths and desires.        A portable reminder to carry with you as you carve out time for yourself.       A supportive gift for friends, loved ones, and your community—perhaps someone who needs a reminder of their greatness.  The Self-Love Affirmations & Reflections deck is a way to celebrate yourself in a new light and pursue the life you want (and deserve).

Why are they being forgotten? ... In this ... work of narrative nonfiction, eight years in the making, sociologists Pamela Prickett and Stefan Timmermans uncover a hidden social world. They follow four individuals in Los Angeles, tracing the twisting, poignant paths that put each at risk of going unclaimed, and introducing us to the scene investigators, notification officers, and crematorium workers who care for them when no one else will"--
