Book excerpt: 'A bold wake-up call for those who doubt what people with learning disabilities can do' – Sally Phillips 'A call to arms to confront continued discrimination' – Sir Norman Lamb 'A gem of an anthology... this collection will contribute to our growing understanding, acceptance and celebration of "neurodiversity"' – Simon Baron-Cohen Success is a crucial part of being human. But what if society thought success and aspiration didn’t apply to you? A human rights campaigner. A critically acclaimed actor. A civil rights activist. A singer–songwriter. A Paralympian and elite swimmer. A fine artist. An award-winning filmmaker and drag artist. An elected UK mayor. These professionals have achieved astounding and awe-inspiring success. They've won national accolades in competitive fields such as film, theatre, music, fine art, campaigning and politics... and like 1.5 million people in the UK today, they all also happen to have a learning disability. In Made Possible, these eight remarkable individuals present their authentic experiences – in their own words – and show us what society misses out on by overlooking them, pitying them, patronising them, simply tolerating them and labelling them in terms of their conditions. Edited by social affairs journalist Saba Salman, this collection of groundbreaking and illuminating essays shatters preconceptions and offers a glimpse of the many types of success that can be achieved by people with a learning disability. Crucially, it reveals how people can make invaluable contributions to society when their potential is acknowledged and supported by those around them.

Book Synopsis Miracles Made Possible by : William Thomas Tucker

Download or read book Miracles Made Possible written by William Thomas Tucker. This book was released on 2004. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a young age, William Thomas Tucker witnessed a drunk driver run down a playmate. Not understanding how an all-loving God could allow such unfair cruelty, Tucker lost his faith and elected to become an atheist. Over the ensuing three decades, Tucker built a successful business and family life without, he presumed, God's help. Then his world turned upside down as he lost not only his wife, but his business career and personal fortune--and almost lost his children to social services. In his pain and frustration, he turned to what he perceived to be an uncaring and unloving God and demanded an explanation. He was instantly rewarded with a series of larger-than-life miracles sent, unmistakably, from God. Thus began a 20-year experience of asking for and receiving miracles in his life for himself, his family, and his friends. Miracles Made Possible shares not only the amazing stories of how these miracles came to pass but also the techniques Tucker used in asking God to perform them. He shares the 3-step process he's followed countless times to obtain miracles both great and small just when he needed them most. Tucker insists that it doesn't take a saint to receive miracles, just someone with the courage to ask for and the faith to believe in extraordinary outcomes.

Download or read book This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed written by Charles E Cobb Jr.. This book was released on 2014-06-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visiting Martin Luther King Jr. at the peak of the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott, journalist William Worthy almost sat on a loaded pistol. "Just for self defense," King assured him. It was not the only weapon King kept for such a purpose; one of his advisors remembered the reverend's Montgomery, Alabama home as "an arsenal." Like King, many ostensibly "nonviolent" civil rights activists embraced their constitutional right to selfprotection -- yet this crucial dimension of the Afro-American freedom struggle has been long ignored by history. In This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed, civil rights scholar Charles E. Cobb Jr. describes the vital role that armed self-defense played in the survival and liberation of black communities in America during the Southern Freedom Movement of the 1960s. In the Deep South, blacks often safeguarded themselves and their loved ones from white supremacist violence by bearing -- and, when necessary, using -- firearms. In much the same way, Cobb shows, nonviolent civil rights workers received critical support from black gun owners in the regions where they worked. Whether patrolling their neighborhoods, garrisoning their homes, or firing back at attackers, these courageous men and women and the weapons they carried were crucial to the movement's success. Giving voice to the World War II veterans, rural activists, volunteer security guards, and self-defense groups who took up arms to defend their lives and liberties, This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed lays bare the paradoxical relationship between the nonviolent civil rights struggle and the Second Amendment. Drawing on his firsthand experiences in the civil rights movement and interviews with fellow participants, Cobb provides a controversial examination of the crucial place of firearms in the fight for American freedom.
