Dido Elizabeth Belle was born in 1761. It would be nearly 100 years
before slavery was abolished. The date would be of little
importance if not for one important factor: Belle's father was
white, but her mother was of African descent. It was an unthinkable
act for the time, and Belle's life was destined for only bad
things. But remarkably bad things did not happen. Belle was sent to
live with her uncle, the Earl of Mansfield; here she was raised as
a free woman and given the same privileged upbringing as her
cousins. This book tells the inspiring true story of Dido Elizabeth
Belle, and how the life of a woman most people have never heard
helped pave the way for future change.
Baseball players come from Cuba, Korea, Japan...India? India is the
least likely place anyone would expect a professional baseball
player to come from, but one man saw potential, and gave two men a
chance to prove themselves. After a strong display of athletics on
the Indian television show Million Dollar Arm, two pitchers (Rinku
Singh and Dinsesh Patel) were invited to America by the Pittsburg
Pirates. Some saw it as a publicity stunt, and maybe it was, but
these two men were able to prove they deserved that chance. This
book tells their inspiring journey. NOTE: This book is not endorsed
by Rinku Singh or Dinsesh Patel, and should be considered
unofficial.
