Selma, 1965
Published 40 years ago, this book remains the standard account of the direct nonviolent action in Selma, Alabama to register African-Americans as voters. It led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act, signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965, to overcome barriers imposed at the state and local levels to prevent black Americans from registering and voting in elections.
Eating Dr. King's Dinner
This book is Chuck Fager's vivid personal account of the Selma movement: how he got there, his experiences in and out of jail as a rookie civil rights worker, what he learned. It is a revealing first-person counterpart to his earlier, highly-praised historical account, .--Publisher's description.
Some Quaker FAQs, for New and Curious Friends
Chuck Fager has been studying and writing about Quakers for almost forty years. When his granddaughter Amber told him that schoolmates had asked her about what Quakers believe, and how that differs from other Christian churches, she didn't know how to answer them. Chuck realized that she had not been taught about this faith. So he set out to provide answers to some of the FAQs that come up in such discussions. And he gathered almost fifty questions for this collection. The responses in this collection are concise, well-informed, and thought-provoking and reflect a progressive perspective. But because Quakers have no set creed, they are not "official." Chuck thinks of "Some Quaker FAQs" as the beginning of a project of "un-systematic theology."
Our Society, Our Future - Resist!
"To every thing there is a season," says the biblical sage Ecclesiastes, A time to gain, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to cast away . . . A time to keep silence, and a time to speak," and I would add, A time to endure, and a time to resist. As I write, in early 2017, in the United States, such a time of resistance is upon us. This collection is for those who have been through "a time to lose," indeed many shocking losses -- losses that, as I write, are far from over. Some of these losses will have to be endured for a time, perhaps a long time. Yet if so, they are not to be endured in passive, compliant silence. These losses will afflict some more, yet none will escape: the v...
Meetings
This book describes Chuck Fager's transition from a conservative Catholic, pro-military youth to an active peace witness and a lengthy period of "spiritual formation" among progressive Quakers. All this happened in a time of war, sharp social upheaval and personal turmoil. The account culminates in a special religious coming of age in the mid-1970s, which in turn marked the opening of another period of intertwined personal and broader history, in a continuing time of tumult and change. The result is both a compelling story of our time, and the narrative of a unique personal quest for meaning, transcendence, and a useful life.
