William Wells Brown Box Set: Clotel; or, The President's Daughter; & The Black Man, His Antecedents, His Genius, and His Achievements , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1138min
William Wells Brown (1814-1884) was a prominent abolitionist, historian, novelist, and playwright. Brown was an African-American pioneer in various literary genres, including drama, fiction, and travel writing. His novel Clotel; or, The President's Daughter (1853), was published in London, England in 1853. It is the story of Clotel and her sister Althesa who are fictional slave daughters of Thomas Jefferson, and explores the destructive effects of slavery on African-American families, the difficult lives of people of mixed-race, and the degraded and immoral relationship between master and slave. Brown’s 1863 book The Black Man: His Antecedents, His Genius, and His Achievements portrays the lives of 50 African Americans that had surmounted the many obstacles that slavery and prejudice have thrown in their way, and raised themselves to positions of honor and influence. ungekürzt.

The Black Man, His Antecedents, His Genius, and His Achievements , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 573min
Born a slave, William Wells Brown (1814-1884) escaped to the North where he became a prominent abolitionist, historian, novelist and playwright. His 1863 book The Black Man: His Antecedents, His Genius, and His Achievements portrays the lives of individuals selected by Brown that had “by their own genius, capacity, and intellectual development, surmounted the many obstacles which slavery and prejudice have thrown in their way, and raised themselves to positions of honor and influence." By making his case for the equality of negroes in an era when white society believed otherwise, Brown provides more than 50 portraits of African Americans who managed to achieve and to make a difference in the face of prejudice and slavery. The author's research in Europe and his visits to the West Indies had given him the advantage of obtaining information not readily available at that time. The book's clarity and the author's own achievements make it an essential source of black history. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rodney Louis Tompkins.

Amelia Earhart: A Life from Beginning to End: Biographies of Women in History, Book 11 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 62min
Amelia Earhart was a legend - but perhaps an unlikely one at that. You see, Amelia Earhart was not always the dashing heroine that most of us associate with her name. She began life as a rather shy girl, who often found herself having to hide from her troubled upbringing. As her family life spiraled out of control, Amelia Earhart was forced to move from state to state, town to town, never getting the chance to put down roots. The high school she graduated from was one of many she attended, and a caption by her photo for that semester’s yearbook seems to have said it all. It read, “The girl in brown who walks alone.” But even as her peers scoffed at the girl in brown slacks who walked a lonely path, Amelia Earhart was charting a course for a tremendous destiny. Inside, you will listen about:A Turbulent Childhood First Transatlantic Flight Earhart in the White House Amelia Earhart's Disappearance Theories and Explanations And Much More! In this book, we will follow all of the hurdles that this heroine surmounted in order to become one of the most famous pilots of all time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alexander G..

Forgiveness: A Gift from My Grandparents , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 461min
When the Second World War broke out, Ralph MacLean chose to escape his troubled life on the Magdalen Islands in eastern Canada and volunteer to serve his country overseas. Meanwhile, in Vancouver, Mitsue Sakamoto saw her family and her stable community torn apart after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Like many young Canadian soldiers, Ralph was captured by the Japanese army. He would spend the war in prison camps, enduring pestilence, beatings and starvation as well as a journey by hell ship to Japan to perform slave labor, while around him his friends and countrymen perished. Back in Canada, Mitsue and her family were expelled from their home by the government and forced to spend years eking out an existence in rural Alberta, working other people's land for a dollar a day. By the end of the war, Ralph emerged broken but a survivor. Mitsue, worn down by years of backbreaking labour, had to start all over again in Medicine Hat, Alberta. A generation later, at a high school dance, Ralph's daughter and Mitsue's son fell in love. Although the war toyed with Ralph's and Mitsue's lives and threatened to erase their humanity, these two brave individuals somehow surmounted enormous transgressions and learned to forgive. Without this forgiveness, their grandson Mark Sakamoto would never have come to be. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Geoff Sugiyama.
