No Ordinary Hook Up
Today, we live in a hook-up culture - a culture that promotes casual sex. One hundred years ago, a hook-up was not about casual sex. It was the precursor to a lifetime commitment. In 1911, my grandparents, Carl Murphy and Lula Vashti Turley "hooked up" at Howard University in Washington, D.C. - he, the German professor, and she, the German student; he, born in 1889, and she, five years earlier; he the Alpha man and she the co-founder of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.; he, the youngest son of the founder of the Afro-American Newspaper; and she, the D.C. school teacher. It wasn't until after she was graduated from Howard in 1913 that she invited the young handsome professor "to call". But this was no ordinary hook-up! It was a courtship extraordinaire based on a strong faith in God, on who they were as individuals, as well as on who they hoped to become as a couple. Their remarkable letters ---published for the first time-are inspirational and instructive, as they reveal intimate details about their whirlwind courtship. "You love me then because my eyes are bright? Beauty will fade, but not the God in me, love that, beloved, to eternity".

African American Culture
One of a series of reference volumes, each examining a cultural period of a particular nation. Culture is used in a broad sense to encompass all the ways in which a people define themselves, including a wide scope of human communication and expression, from advertising to fine art. Famous individuals are also covered, such as John Cgae, Jackson Pollock, Richard Burton, Mussolini, Lenin and Aretha Franklin. In addition, the text defines the entries and describes and analyzes the influence and significance of each one. For example, an entry on abstract expressionism will not only define the movement, but will also describe what it means to us and what it says about us. Entries range from 50 to 1000 words, with between 500 and 1000 entries appearing in each individual volume.
