Summary: Outstanding for Classroom Use: Farewell to Jim Crow
Comment: As a high school teacher of regular and Advanced Placement
U.S. History, I have used portions OF FAREWELL TO JIM CROW with
excellent results. The maps and pictures are conducive to producing document-based questions. The text is clearly presented. The students are especially impressed with the
early chapters including one entitled: " A Strange Idea: How
Segregation Worked." I have shown the book to several colleagues and they too have begun using it when teaching
about racial issues in America. The book is strongly recommended
for those interested in a problem that still haunts our country.

Summary: A wonderful resource for students and teachers
Comment: As a high school teacher, I have suggested this book be used by my students when researching the issue of segregation. I read the book and found it to be very easy to follow and understand and written on a level amenable to both high school and junior high school students. I have referred to the book in class discussions and found that the way in which Dr. Rasmussen explains the Jim Crow laws intrigues my students so that they want to read the entire book themselves. Dr. Rasmussen explains the origins of the laws and their effect on American society and people in general, including their lasting psychological implications.

Summary: Me and my father.
Comment: For 14 years i lived with my father,till the day came that he had to leave me,to go stay in heaven with our god of all times. The one who leads us the right way,who is the father of our kingdom.Sometimes i wonder...wil he ever come back.On 9 march 1957 my good father was born and on 26 july 2000 he had to leave us.As we all know that each and everyone of us is going to get our time of leaving our family,enemy's and friends.Me and my father had our good times and on the other hand our bad times and very bad times,but for what i know is that i will only try to remember the good times,cause there were more of the good times then the bad times.I know that i was sometimes wrong against my great father and i ask forgiveness every night of my live.All the bad things that I have done in my life,I already told him.Every night when I pray,I ask God to give me a chance to speak to my father.I tell him then evrything that happend that day allthough he have seen evrything.The message out of my review is to know that the person that you have lost in your life is always in your hart and that you can speak with him or her every day and night of your life.
