she is waiting for her friends. Lauren, as Princess Florinda Clara
Amelia Rafaela Louisa Josefina likes to be called, tells Emma and
Jack all about her life in her castle. Emma and Jack can't decide
which is more astonishing: that Lauren paints on the walls, that
she throws her dishes on the floor or that she came to the park
alone. Emma and Jack meet a Princess tells the story of how you can
find a friend almost anywhere and how someone who seems very
different from you can turn out to be just like you after all.
"Finally we have a book that seriously examines the religious views
of one of the most important figures in modern American history as
well as the black freedom struggle." -- Clarence Taylor, author
ofBlack Religious Intellectuals: The Fight for Equality from Jim
Crow to the Twenty-first Century A. Philip Randolph, founder of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, was one of the most effective
black trade unionists in America. Once known as "the most dangerous
black man in America," he was a radical journalist, a labor leader,
and a pioneer of civil rights strategies. His proteg? Bayard Rustin
noted that, "With the exception of W.E.B. Du Bois, he was probably
the greatest civil rights leader of the twentieth century until
Martin Luther King." Scholarship has traditionally portrayed
Randolph as an atheist and anti-religious, his connections to
African American religion either ignored or misrepresented. Taylor
places Randolph within the context of American religious history
and uncovers his complex relationship to African American religion.
She demonstrates that Randolph's religiosity covered a wide
spectrum of liberal Protestant beliefs, from a religious humanism
on the left, to orthodox theological positions on the right, never
straying far from his African Methodist roots.
