Broadly speaking, the traditionally conceptualized mid-twentieth century Civil Rights Movement and the newer #BlackLivesMatter Movement possess some similar qualities. They both represent dynamic, complex moments of possibility and progress. They also share mass-based movement activities, policy/legislative advocacy, grass-roots organizing, and targeted media campaigns. Innovation, growth, and dissension—core aspects of movement work—mark them both. Crucially, these moments also engender aggressive, repressive, multi-level responses to these assertions of Black Humanity.Rights and Lives critically engages the dynamic relationship between these two moments of liberatory possibility on the Black Freedom Struggle timeline. McKinney and Hamlin invite the contributors to take up what we can learn when we place these moments of struggle in dialogue with each other. They grapple with how our understanding of the postwar moment shapes our analysis of #BLM and wherein lie the discontinuities, in order to glean lessons for future moments of insurgency.

Four in One contains within it four published books written by Scott and Bonna Brooks. These four individual books work together in this Four in One book as a single unit with some concepts more fully explained in some of the books than in others.Book 1: Twos and ThreesBook 2: Would you like to see an Amazing Miracle?Book 3: Deeper FriendshipsBook 4: At His FeetFour in One is written from a relational view of the Christian life. As such, it is a wonderful book toward a more relational Christian life that is so helpful with friendships with Jesus and each other! IF you get it, read it numerous times, digest it, and know it well, THEN may Jesus use it in wonderful ways in your life to bring you into all that the book’s dedication states:“We dedicate this Four in One book to you the reader and also to Jesus. May the Holy Spirit use this book to grow you all the more into a wonderful friendship with Jesus. And may that friendship positively affect all of your other friendships as well.”All four books contained in Four in One give an explanation of the Gospel – with the greatest details being in Deeper Friendships (Book 3). Since the Gospel is so incredibly important, the Gospel is shared one additional time in the introduction of Four in One, but first by taking a look at how the Gospel is often shared from a judicial standpoint instead of from the better and fuller context found in the Bible that explains it from a relational standpoint – which makes so much more sense! Also included in the introduction is a 9-part diagram that you can use as an easy way for you to share the Gospel with others – but from a relational standpoint instead of the common judicial standpoint that so easily turns off others.May Four in One become a major resource and valued treasure for you that Jesus uses in your life in wonderful ways!
