Remarkable six centuries and 17 generations of recorded Steele Family Lineage supplemented with family DNA and heraldry beginning in the 8th century. Their journey began in Scandinavia as Norse Men or Vikings then moved to France where they became Normans and invaded England with William the Conqueror. The family resided in County Essex, England for 5 generations before becoming Puritan settlers of the Massachusetts Bay and Connecticut colonies and founders of Hartford, Connecticut. Five generations lived in New England before Aaron Steele traveled the Great Wagon Road south through Virginia's Shenandoah Valley into the Carolinas and Georgia. During their trek, the Steeles and related families of Polks, Andersons, Mavericks, Martins, Crocketts, Skaggses, Smiths, Wheelers, Irelands, Delks, Huntons, Thompsons and Waplers created a tapestry of faith, military and civic service, explored the wilderness frontiers of Connecticut and Appalachian Mountains, panned for gold in Georgia, Colorado and Montana, fought for American independence and the independence of Texas, and pioneered in Kansas and Wyoming. Whether farmers, merchants, soldiers, government leaders, miners, frontiersmen, landed gentry, nobility or land barons, the Steeles and their extended family prospered always seeking freedom and opportunity. This is their story.

Inspired by memories of her beloved grandmother, photographer and author Alysia Burton Steele -- picture editor on a Pulitzer Prize-winning team -- combines heart-wrenching narrative with poignant photographs of more than 50 female church elders in the Mississippi Delta. These ordinary women lived extraordinary lives under the harshest conditions of the Jim Crow era and during the courageous changes of the Civil Rights Movement. With the help of local pastors, Steele recorded these living witnesses to history and folk ways, and shares the significance of being a Black woman -- child, daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother in Mississippi -- a Jewel of the Delta. From the stand Mrs. Tennie Self took for her marriage to be acknowledged in the phone book, to the life-threatening sacrifice required to vote for the first time, these 50 inspiring portraits are the faces of love and triumph that will teach readers faith and courage in difficult times.

In this controversial essay collection, award-winning writer Shelby Stelle illuminates the origins of the current conflict in race relations--the increase in anger, mistrust, and even violence between black and whites. With candor and persuasive argument, he shows us how both black and white Americans have become trapped into seeing color before character, and how social policies designed to lessen racial inequities have instead increased them. The Content of Our Character is neither "liberal" nor "conservative," but an honest, courageous look at America's most enduring and wrenching social dilemma.
