Memórias de um Adolescente Brasileiro na Alemanha Nazista
Depois da Primeira Guerra Mundial, a família Loibl deixou a Alemanha, devastada pela guerra, e veio para o Brasil. Em 1938 os Loibls resolveram retornar ao seu país, encantados com as promessas do partido de Hitler, que chegara ao poder. Entretanto, não poderiam jamais imaginar as agruras que sofreriam em seu país de origem. Rudolf, o filho nascido no Brasil, sofria constantes agressões na escola, por ser considerado inimigo do Estado alemão. Não havia trabalho, uma hiperinflação afetava o comércio, e o clima era de medo e constante opressão. Durante a guerra, foram poupados muitas vezes, mas não ficaram imunes aos bombardeios, à intransigência, ao preconceito, à fome e às irreparáveis perdas de amigos e parentes. No entanto, Rudolf sobreviveu e, já adulto, narrou a saga da família à escritora Elisabeth Loibl, sua irmã, nascida na Alemanha durante a guerra.

Memphis, Martin, and the Mountaintop: The Sanitation Strike of 1968
For nine-year-old Lorraine Jackson, the Sanitation Strike of 1968 hit close to home. Lorraine marched with her daddy and other sanitation workers through the streets of Memphis fighting for equal rights and safer working conditions. With her mother, she boycotted stores. Lorraine’s life was forever changed when she heard Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. preach his famous sermon “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” to the tired and frustrated strikers. Dr. King was tragically killed the next day, and hope seemed shattered. But Lorraine, her family, and the people of Memphis pushed through those difficult times, because dreamers never quit. Author Alice Faye Duncan based the character of Lorraine Jackson on a teacher who participated in the Memphis Sanitation Strike as a child. Using a riveting combination of poetry and prose, Alice Faye reveals the inspiring story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s final stand for justice.
