The surprisingly hopeful story of how a straight,
nonpromiscuous, everyday girl contracted HIV and how she manages to
stay upbeat, inspired, and more positive about life than ever
before
At nineteen years of age, Marvelyn Brown was lying in a stark
white hospital bed at Tennessee Christian Medical Center, feeling
hopeless. A former top track and basketball athlete, she was in the
best shape of her life, but she was battling a sudden illness in
the intensive care unit. Doctors had no idea what was going on. It
never occurred to Brown that she might be HIV positive.
Having unprotected sex with her Prince Charming had set into
swift motion a set of circumstances that not only landed her in the
fight of her life, but also alienated her from her community.
Rather than give up, however, Brown found a reason to fight and a
reason to live.
The Naked Truth is an inspirational memoir that shares how an
everyday teen refused to give up on herself, even as others would
forsake her. More, it's a cautionary tale that every parent,
guidance counselor, and young adult should read.

This exhibition will be the first American retrospective of Donald Judd's work in thirty years. Due to the unprecedented archival access granted by the Judd Foundation to MoMA's curatorial team, this show presents a unique opportunity to assess Judd's career anew.
Most writings to date have dwelled on Judd's place within Minimalism and drawn heavily on biography as well as the artist's own statements on his work. With an aim to counter the mythologizing and interpretation-heavy literature that still prevails in Judd scholarship, this book will marshal in-depth research in order to expand readers' knowledge of the revolutionary nature of his working method. The essays included will delve into the specifics of Judd's industrial materials, fabrication processes, exhibition histories, and activities related to design and architecture.
From the time Courtney E. Martin strapped her daughter, Maya, to
her chest for long walks, she was curious about Emerson Elementary,
a public school down the street from her Oakland home. She learned
that White families in their gentrifying neighborhood largely
avoided the majority-Black, poorly-rated school. As she began
asking why, a journey of a thousand moral miles began. Learning in
Public is the story, not just Courtney's journey, but a whole
country's. Many of us are newly awakened to the continuing racial
injustice all around us, but unsure of how to go beyond hashtags
and yard signs to be a part of transforming the country. Courtney
discovers that her public school, the foundation of our fragile
democracy, is a powerful place to dig deeper. Courtney E. Martin
examines her own fears, assumptions, and conversations with other
moms and dads as they navigate school choice. A vivid portrait of
integration's virtues and complexities, and yes, the palpable joy
of trying to live differently in a country re-making itself.
Learning in Public might also set your family's life on a different
course forever.

When did you know you were a feminist? Whether it happened at
school, at work, while watching TV, or reading a book, many of us
can point to a particular moment when we knew we were feminists. In
"Click, " editors Courtney E. Martin and J. Courtney Sullivan bring
us a range of women--including Jessica Valenti, Amy Richards,
Shelby Knox, Winter Miller, and Jennifer Baumgardner--who share
stories about how that moment took shape for them.
Sometimes emotional, sometimes hilarious, this collection gives
young women who already identify with the feminist movement the
opportunity to be heard--and it welcomes into the fold those new to
the still-developing story of feminism.
