Why does society have difficulty discussing sexualities? Where does fear of Black sexualities emerge and how is it manifested? How can varied experiences of Black females and males who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT), or straight help inform dialogue and academic inquiry? From questioning forces that have constrained sexual choices to examining how Blacks have forged healthy sexual identities in an oppressive environment, Black Sexualities acknowledges the diversity of the Black experience and the shared legacy of racism. Contributors seek resolution to Blacks' understanding of their lives as sexual beings through stories of empowerment, healing, self-awareness, victories, and other historic and contemporary life-course panoramas and provide practical information to foster more culturally relative research, tolerance, and acceptance.

Established in 1822, Shockoe Hill Cemetery is the final resting place for many famous and infamous icons of Richmond. Most visited is the tomb of Chief Justice John Marshall, the longest-serving chief justice of the United States, who elevated the Supreme Court to equal standing with the executive and legislative branches of the federal government. Union spy Elizabeth Van Lew operated an extensive espionage ring during the Civil War, and though reviled in life by many who resented her activism, she rests prominently near her elite neighbors. The burial places of friends and foster family offer a glimpse into Edgar Allan Poe's personal story. Author Alyson Lindsey Taylor-White charts the history of the celebrated cemetery and brings to life the stories of those buried there.
Die inhaltliche Entwicklung des Internet hält mit der technologischen nicht mit. Die unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten zerplatzen an dürftiger handwerklicher Umsetzung. Die Ursachen sind vielfältig: Die Onlineredaktion als Strafkolonie für unliebsame Mitarbeiter, technophile Selbstverwirklichung statt nutzenbringender Entwicklung. Das Praxisbuch Onlineredaktion ist eine Betriebsanleitung für medienübergreifenden Journalismus. Es lässt die Logik klassischer Mediengattungen außer Acht und widmet sich in respektloser Frische der Professionalisierung der Internetredaktion.
