Woodson, Sr.; Biographies of Contributing Authors; Endnotes and Acknowledgments. " "An indispensable corrective to the falsified version of black history presented by The 1619 Project, radical activists, and money-hungry "diversity consultants." In the rush to redefine the place of black Americans in contemporary society, many radical activists and academics have mounted a campaign to destroy traditional American history and replace it with a politicized version that few would recognize. According to the new radical orthodoxy, the United States was founded as a racist nation -- and everything that has happened throughout our history must be viewed through the lens of the systemic oppression of black people. Rejecting this false narrative, a collection of the most prominent and respected black scholars and thinkers has come together to correct the record and tell the true story of black Americans in all its complexity, diversity of experience, and poignancy. Collectively, they paint a vivid picture of black people living the grand American experience, however bumpy the road may be along the way. But rather than a people apart, blacks are woven into the united whole that makes this nation unique in history." -- from the rear outer jacket. "1776 Unites represents a nonpartisan and intellectually diverse alliance of writers, thinkers, and activists focused on solutions to our country's greatest challenges in education, culture, and upward mobility. We acknowledge that racial discrimination exists - and work toward diminishing it. But we dissent from contemporary groupthink and rhetoric about race, class, and American history that defames our national heritage, divides our people, and instills helplessness among those who already hold within themselves the grit and resilience to better their lot in life. 1776 Unites maintains a special focus on voices in the black community who celebrate black excellence, reject victimhood culture and showcase the millions of black Americans who have prospered by embracing the founding ideals of America. We are intellectuals, journalists, entrepreneurs, and grassroots activists, celebrating the progress America has made, the resilience of its people, and our future together. We seek decisive action in restoring our people's confidence and advancing the cause of actual justice in the face of hostile messages that degrade the spiritual, moral, and political foundations of our nation." -- from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First edition in Mohawk. viii, 456 p. 22 cm. Full leather. Respined with gilt impressing, 5 raised bands and gilt-lettered label. Hinges repaired internally. New England Corporation bookplate on front pastedown. Ink presentation inscription on front free endpaper: "Presented to James Powles by his friend & minister The Rev. A Nelles 19 June 1842." Signature spelled James Powlass above. Mohawk inscription and signature on next leaf. Occasional stains and thumbing. Rev. Abraham (or Abram) Nelles (1805-1884) was a Church of England clergyman and missionary to the Six Nations. Nelles was principal of the Mohawk Institute, a day-school operated by the New England Company for "Indian" students. Nelles first used his knowledge of the Mohawk language to publish in 1839 a hymnal entitled "A collection of psalms and hymns, in the Mohawk language, for the use of the Six Nations Indians." This translation project, also published in Hamilton, dates to a few years later. He is buried in the graveyard of the Mohawk Church. Interestingly, two individuls named "Powless" are also buried there, so James was probably one of his parishioners.

A nice association with a man widely regarded as the greatest English poet of the First World War, and a scarce item of which not many copies can have been printed, and no other copy has been traced. 4pp, 8vo. Bifolium on laid paper. In fair condition, lightly aged, with slight creasing at head. Explanatory note on final page begins: 'The memorial to Wilfred Owen is cut on Portland stone by Michael Harvey from lettering drawn by Reynolds Stone, CBE, RDI. / The graves of Tom and Susan Owen, the poet's father and mother, and of his sister Mary are in the south-east corner of the churchyard. / Tea will be served by the ladies of the parish after the service at the old vicarage, now called The Glebe House, where Wilfred Owen lived from 20 October 1911 to 7 February 1913 while acting as lay assistant to the Rev. Herbert Wigan. A small display of books by and about Owen may be seen there.' The two central pages give the order of service, beginning with the text of Catherine Winkworth's translation of Rinkart's 'Now thank we all our God'. A list of the readings follows, with Owen's biographer Jon Stallworthy speaking about 'Wilfred Owen at Dunsden', and Ian Parsons about 'Wilfred Owen as Poet'. Letters by Owen to his mother ('The Sentry' and 'The Send-Off') are read by Stallworthy, the actress Jill Balcon, D. J. Enright and Peter Owen. The poets Ted Hughes, Geoffrey Hill and Robert Gittings read poems by Owen and extracts from letters. The memorial is dedicated by the Bishop of Oxford, and there is a 'Bidding Prayer' by Rev. Norman Print, Vicar of Dunsden.
