Great American lady

Book Details Language : English Publication Date : 12/28/2020 Format : Softcover Dimensions : 6x9 Page Count : 128 ISBN : 9781664149663 Format : Hardcover Dimensions : 6x9 Page Count : 128 ISBN : 9781664149670 Format : E-Book Dimensions : N/A Page Count : 128 ISBN : 9781664149656About the Book There is a massive amount of historical information available about Marian Anderson in over twenty biographies, her extensive personal papers at the University of Pennsylvania Library, the National Marian Anderson Historical Society's Residence Museum, various PBS documentaries, the Smithsonian Institute, the Internet and undocumented verbal stories that have circulated in her home town of Philadelphia for years. Researching her long 96-year life was an exciting privilege, but time-consuming. Those who may remember Marian Anderson as simply a "great singer," are probably missing 90% of what this trailblazing humanitarian's contribution to our society really accomplished. Readers of this condensed chronological compilation can now more quickly realize, and learn to appreciate, the teachable lessons of Marian Anderson’s well-lived long life---possibly in just one or two sittings, stimulating further future study of her from the above sources and the list of books included in the Appendix. At one time the press consistently covered Marian Anderson and she was written into history books, but that is no more. If students do not learn about her and people don’t talk about her, they forget. Through a series of events, in March of 2019, I discovered the National Marian Anderson Historic Society that is headquartered in the Anderson Family’s home, that is now an official historic residence museum, in my hometown of Philadelphia. It took me a few more visits to begin to absorb what is there. After each visit, I left with mixed feelings of awe, newfound respect, and embarrassment…. How could I, having lived in Philadelphia for so long---not far from the very home Marian Anderson purchased in 1924, now a museum---in a neighborhood I went through frequently, have absolutely no idea that I was passing in the vicinity of such greatness? After reading Marian Anderson’s autobiography, my hunger to know more lead me to discover over twenty other biographies from excellent books for school children up to several well-researched works by distinguished scholars. It is with the latter academic group that I have principally drawn on to compile and condense

Shadows of Evolution

In the year 2243, humanity stands on the pinnacle of technological advancement, having evolved beyond the need for sleep and possessing capabilities surpassing even the most advanced artificial intelligence. This world was shaped by Project Paramount, a highly classified initiative that led to the deactivation of the Advanced Artificial Intelligence (AAI) that once guided humanity's rapid progress. The details of Project Paramount are known only to three original members, including the enigmatic leader known only as Mr. K, who has ruled Unit 1-A, the most powerful faction in the unified world, for the past 15 years. The protagonist, a high-ranking operative who has been working under Mr. K for nine years, uncovers hints about the true nature of Project Paramount and the mysterious events between 2224-2229, a period during which humanity supposedly underwent a massive, undocumented evolution. Despite the world's advancements, shadows loom as the protagonist learns that not everything is as it seems—especially with the unseen yet palpable influence of the Vanguard, an enigmatic force controlling the flow of information. After a cryptic meeting with Mr. K, where more questions arise than answers, the protagonist returns to the Rest Shelter, a vast facility where the elite reside and receive curated information. However, their return is met with an ominous message: "The leader of Unit 1-A has been assassinated!" This shocking event sets off a chain reaction, thrusting the protagonist into a dangerous game of power, deception, and hidden truths. As they navigate the labyrinth of secrets surrounding Project Paramount, the true nature of humanity's evolution, and the identity of the Vanguard, the protagonist must uncover the real reason behind Mr. K's assassination. In a world where knowledge is power, and every move is monitored, they must decide whom to trust as they unravel the web of lies that could either save or doom the future of mankind.
