Thy Will Be Done
How should we remember George Washington’s entanglement in slavery? Americans have argued over that question for nearly 250 years. More than any other Founding Father, Washington’s ties to slavery have vexed us. He enslaved more people than any of his fellow founders, yet he was the only one of them to emancipate the people he held in bondage. Since his death, Americans have grappled with this contradiction, shaping and reshaping our collective memory of Washington and slavery—along with our understanding of the nation. In Thy Will Be Done, historian John Garrison Marks tells the story of Americans’ long, fraught struggle to come to terms with Washington’s legacy of slavery. He traces how politicians, abolitionists, educators, activists, Washington’s former slaves and their descendants, and others have remembered, forgotten, and manipulated slavery’s place in Washington’s story, and how they have wielded versions of that story in the political and cultural fights of their time. Marks shows how generational struggles over our collective memory of Washington and slavery have always been part of a bigger conversation about defining the United States and its people. As debates about the founders’ participation in the system of slavery continue to roil public discourse, Marks shows with new clarity that Americans have never collectively reconciled Washington’s conflicted legacy. By truly grappling with Washington’s role as enslaver and emancipator we may come to better understand the nation and ourselves.
The Dreamkeepers

Her journey highlights the power of culturally relevant pedagogy while modeling how educators can form meaningful connections with all their students. This visually engaging graphic edition of the classic bestseller by distinguished professor Gloria Ladson-Billings offers an inspiring and accessible entry point for educators of all backgrounds. Book Features:Case studies and key themes are brought to life by the dynamic drawings of Rachel Branham, author of “What’s So Great About Art, Anyway?” A Teacher’s Odyssey.

Sladký příběh
Devítiletá Sally je zvláštní nejen proto, že se ráda obléká do šatů s volánky a nejraději si hraje se strašidelnými mluvícími panenkami. Sally také miluje duhy a honí se za nimi jako za motýly. Věří, že pokud někdy najde konec duhy, stane se něco kouzelného a pohádkové bytosti jí splní všechno, co si bude přát.
Když se teď nad jejím městem vyklene duha, jakou svět ještě neviděl, Sally neváhá a vyrazí hledat místo, kde se duhový oblouk dotýká země, byť se kvůli tomu musí vnořit do mlžné čtvrti, před níž ji všichni důrazně varovali. Společnost jí dělá její želva, kterou si nese na rameni, a spolužák Timmy Taco, jenž je do Sally tajně zamilovaný, ale také je líný chodit po svých a všude jezdí na kole.
Zprvu romantické dobrodružství o cestě za snem dostane trhliny, když se děti v mlžné čtvrti setkají se svými podivně rozmazanými vrstevníky a poté ke svému neskonalému úžasu zjistí, že konec duhy není nedosažitelná chiméra…
Zajíc a já
Představte si, že v dlani držíte novorozené zajíče a krmíte ho z lahvičky. Představte si, že žije pod vaší střechou a v noci vám pobíhá po ložnici. Představte si, že i po dvou letech se k vám zajíc na zavolání vrací ze svých toulek krajinou. Přesně tak to zažila autorka této knihy Chloe Dalton. Během lockdownu opustí svůj rušný londýnský život, přestěhuje se na venkov a jednoho dne při procházce narazí na malé, opuštěné zajíče. Ze strachu o jeho život se instinktivně rozhodne o něj postarat a mezi divokým tvorem a ženou, která se doposud zajímala především o práci a kariéru, začne vznikat křehké pouto důvěry, jež nečekaným způsobem změní její život. Memoáry Zajíc a já líčí jejich společnou cestu a zároveň podrobně popisují život a povahu zajíců i jejich ambivalentní obraz vykreslovaný uměním, literaturou a pověrami. Příběh tohoto neobyčejného vztahu, prokládaný úvahami o soužití lidí a zvířat, tempu moderního života a našem propojení s přírodou, zahalenými do nádherného, poetického jazyka, láká k tomu na moment se zastavit, pohlédnout na vlastní život z jiné perspektivy a znovuobjevovat krásy přírody.
