After the Civil War, emancipated slaves who didn’t want to pick cotton or operate an elevator headed west to find work and a new life.

In 1866, the new Goodnight-Loving Trail was crowded with cattle headed for a government market. By the 1870s, twenty-five percent of the over thirty-five thousand cowboys in the West were black. They were part of trail crews that drove more than twenty-seven million cattle on the Goodnight-Loving Trail, Western Trail, Chisholm Trail and Shawnee Trail. They were paid equally, and their skill and ability brought them earned respect and prestige. Author Nancy Williams recounts their lasting legacy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Museum of Marriage<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

C.W. Smith<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Museum of Marriage<\/em> showcases characters struggling with the demands and mysteries of the solitary life, romance, and marriage. The young men of “The Balcony Scene” and “Big Rig” worry over their futures with those exotic creatures of another sex; the women in “The Marriage Museum” and “Leave Me Be!” wrestle with their emotional turmoil about their relationships. The collection’s most uplifting picture of these very knotty human dilemmas comes in “Suitors,” where a young woman must choose between two equally worthy men. Having given her heart to a longtime but distant lover, she’s unexpectedly attracted to another closer by. “That he could arouse her interest was a little thrilling but also frightening, promising in equal measures the rosy pleasures of infatuation and the torment of feeling unfaithful.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We Hold Our Breath<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Micah Fields<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fields depicts the history of Houston with reverence and lyrical certainty, investigating the conflicting facets of Texan identity that are as resilient as they are catastrophic, steeped in racial subjugation, environmental collapse, and capitalist greed. He writes of the development of the modern city in the wake of the destruction of Galveston in 1900; of the wealthy Menil family and self-taught abstract painter Forrest Bess, a queer artist and fisherman born in 1911 who hardly ever left the Gulf Coast; of the oil booms and busts that shaped the city; of the unchecked lust for growth that makes Houston so expressive of the American dream. We Hold Our Breath<\/em> is a portrait of a city that exists despite it all, a city whose story has always been one of war waged relentlessly against water.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You, Me, We<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Arun Gandhi & Bethany Hegedus<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where can we find peace? It shows in the way we walk, stand, or form a circle. It can be found when we play or dig in the garden, speak up or ask for help, or sit still and listen to the silence. Whether we\u2019re learning, taking turns, or getting past hurt feelings and misunderstandings, peace is always there, as long as we look at one another, ready to discover. Drawing on the philosophies of Mahatma Gandhi and educator Maria Montessori, coauthors Arun Gandhi and Bethany Hegedus offer an inviting primer brought to life through the warm, wondrous illustrations of Colombian artist Andr\u00e9s Landaz\u00e1bal. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, \u201cIf we are to teach real peace in this world . . . we shall have to begin with children.\u201d You, Me, We <\/em>does just that, as it celebrates the peace that can be found in us all. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
