Hanging the Macon County Witch is a true story. The hanging outlined in this book really took place in Lafayette, Tennessee in the late spring of 1845. This bizarre story follows a slave woman named Lize - who claims to be a witch by the way - from the time Wilson Meador purchased her, until the Macon County Sheriff hanged her. This story has several weird twists and turns, including Lize trading her own head to a local doctor for ginger cakes and hard cider. Truth is stranger than fiction and this true story is as strange as they come!
CITIZENS OF AMERICA Please consider this: as a nation, we stood by and allowed Troy Davis to be executed within the guidelines of the law; but not considering justice at all. With almost one million petitioners requesting clemency-over fifty members of congress, a former President, members of the jury that convicted and sentenced Troy, his legal team, his family, his church, and Troy-the one official board with the authority to do so ignored the cries of the people that Troy Davis had come to represent, refused to do so, and then put Troy to death. "LAW NOT JUSTICE." What's more, the final hope was not the Supreme Court; no one tried the White House! My request is that you investigate the "Pamela Smart Case" in New York. With her only wrong doing being infidelity (an extramarital affair), she has served over twenty years of her sentence (life without parole) in prison. Governor Cuomo is aware of her case, but has no power or authority to help her. She has no hope of freedom unless YOU help her. If YOU want to be a part of justice for Pamela, call your Federal Congressman (preferably your Senator) and express your opinion. Then write President Obama at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC. 20500, and ask for clemency for Pamela Smart, by President Obama ordering her release from prison, and by commuting her sentence to time served.
Making a Way traces the life of Ulysses Byas from childhood through his tenure as the first black superintendent of the Macon County (Alabama) Schools, as told to coauthor Marilyn Robinson. This biography relies on extensive interviews that Dr. Robinson conducted with Dr. Byas, as well as an examination of his collection of documents. Dr. Byas unique experiences and skills informed the strategies he used to attack the fiscal deficit, the physical plant deterioration, and the educational performance deficiencies he found as superintendent of the Macon County Schools. His professional life was dedicated to using creative approaches to addressing problems brought about by segregation and the policies of separate but equal schooling. Ultimately, Dr. Byas faced a dilemma over whether or not to confront Gov. George Wallaces political machine and its discriminatory policies governing the licensure of the Alabama Educational Television network. Only time would tell whether his testimony would have dire results for him and the school system, or whether it could successfully overcome the racist programming endemic in the South. In Making a Way, Dr. Robinson considers the impact of Dr. Byass decision as she examines the inspiring story of a courageous and creative leader.
