Chasing the Silver Lining (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This three-part introspective narrative is rooted in Livingston Alexander's real world experience as a boy growing up in poverty-stricken Southwestern Louisiana during the Jim Crow era; as a boy sexually victimized by his parish priest; as an adolescent inspired by a different, more principled Catholic priest during a nine-year Catholic seminary experience; as a young man finally coming to grips with race as an artificial construct, even as he mourns the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King; and as an adult professional driven to advance Dr. King's dream of a universal coalition of conscience-driven people of all races, genders, nationalities, sexual orientations, and religious beliefs, working together to advance social justice, especially in higher education. Each part in the work reveals life-changing revelations that empowered him and hopefully will empower others.
