Knocking at Our Own Door: Milton A. Galamison and the Struggle for School Integration in New York City by Clarence Taylor, ISBN 0231109504

The struggle for school integration in New York City, home to the nation's largest public school system, was one of the most wrenching episodes in the story of America's civil rights movement. Following a disastrous struggle in 1964 between a new community school board in Brooklyn and the largely white teachers' union, close to half a million children boycotted school to protest the lack of a firm policy on integration. What caused one of America's most promising civil-rights coalitions to implode on the eve of change?

Clarence Taylor confronts this troubled history, focusing on the city's preeminent integrationist figure, the Presbyterian pastor Milton Galamison. In Knocking at Our Own Door, Taylor presents a detailed account of this controversial but little-studied figure, whose militant approach to the struggle deeply divided the city, winning support in some circles and bitter criticism from others -- not only from anti-civil rights forces, but also from some of the more moderate...

Ellen's Lion: Twelve Stories by Crockett Johnson, ISBN 0375822887

Originally published in 1959 and out of print for two decades, this collection of very short stories chronicles Ellen's relationship- complete with two-way conversations-with her floppy stuffed lion. Ellen's temperament is a bit like Christopher Robin's (though her appearance is a clone of Harold, from "Harold and the Purple Crayon fame), but her lion is a no-nonsense, tougher-minded Pooh, with the voice of reason and reality to counter Ellen's high-flying imagination. The stories range from fear of the dark and being sad to playing doctor, being a fairy princess, and dealing with a new toy that almost replaces lion.
Parents will find the subtly droll stories as entertaining as children, and a child who reads chapter books will find especially rewarding. Ellen's Lion: Twelve Stories by Crockett Johnson, ISBN 0375822887

15 Days of Prayer with Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton by Betty Ann McNeil, ISBN 0764808419

This volume, 15 Days of Prayer With Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, introduces readers to the "first American-born saint" and leads them to a place of peace and prayer that reflects the spirituality of the Saint Elizabeth.

Follow in the footsteps of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. Elizabeth Bayley was born of a well-to-do family in 1774 and baptized in the Episcopal Church. Married to successful merchant, William Magee Seton, the couple was blessed with five children. Involved in social work and charity, Elizabeth was soon referred to as the "Protestant Sister of Charity." Upon her husband's death Elizabeth converted to Catholicism. Returning to New York, she was no longer accepted in her previous circles and was invited to Baltimore by Bishop Carroll. There, she founded a school and was joined by other women to form the Daughers of Charity of St. Joseph, and was elected the first superior of the order. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton was canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1975.

Battle Of Algiers (French), The (Widescreen)

One of the most influential films in the history of political cinema, Gillo Pontecorvo's "The Battle Of Algiers" focuses on the harrowing events of 1957, a key year in Algeria's struggle for independence from France. Shot in the streets of Algiers in documentary style, the film vividly recreates the tumultuous Algerian uprising against the occupying French in the 1950s. As violence escalates on both sides, the French torture prisoners for information and the Algerians resort to terrorism in their quest for independence. Children shoot soldiers at point-blank range, women plant bombs in cafes. The French win the battle, but ultimately lose the war. We are proud to present Pontecorvo's tour de force-a film with astonishing relevance today. Battle Of Algiers (French), The (Widescreen)

Charles Rennie Mackintosh: The Complete Furniture, Furniture Design, and Interior Designs

The great Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh (18681928) has come to be seen as one of the most influential early modern designers. Like Frank Lloyd Wright, whom he rivals in popularity today, Mackintosh viewed the design of furniture and interiors as a vital part of his architectural work. Today, original Mackintosh pieces are fabulously expensive, but reproductions and objects based on his design ideas are still wildly popular.
