Stand Up and Live
A family patriarch's voice is heard clearly from the past in Stand Up and Live. It is that voice that has spoken with urgent meaning for author Audrienne Roberts Womack. She did not meet her great-great grandfather Anthony Dangerfield Sr., a visionary freedman who commenced the evolution of the Dangerfield/Roberts lineage into well-educated, prosperous citizens of the United States, but it is his inspiration that started this book. Anthony Sr.'s lack of education motivated him in wanting his children to become educated, which led him to build a school on his property, to harness his family's combined intelligence for progress, and perhaps had a vision of what the family is now and how Audrie...
Three Murals by Stewart Burgess White in Warrenton Virginia
Each mural represents the Civil War period from a Warrenton VA perspective. Local scenes and people occupy the murals. Commissioned by businessman Willard “Will” Green, artist Stewart B.

The intention was to depict Warrenton and surroundings during the Civil War. There was to be no inkling of racism, it was to recognize all involved. The paintings were to tell a story in the hope viewers would develop questions and do their own research to enhance understanding of the times.

Afrofuturism
2014 Locus Awards Finalist, Nonfiction Category In this hip, accessible primer to the music, literature, and art of Afrofuturism, author Ytasha Womack introduces readers to the burgeoning community of artists creating Afrofuturist works, the innovators from the past, and the wide range of subjects they explore. From the sci-fi literature of Samuel Delany, Octavia Butler, and N. K. Jemisin to the musical cosmos of Sun Ra, George Clinton, and the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am, to the visual and multimedia artists inspired by African Dogon myths and Egyptian deities, the book's topics range from the "alien" experience of blacks in America to the "wake up" cry that peppers sci-fi literature, sermons, and activism. With a twofold aim to entertain and enlighten, Afrofuturists strive to break down racial, ethnic, and social limitations to empower and free individuals to be themselves.
