"Time Longer than Rope unearths the ordinary roots of extraordinary change, demonstrating the depth and breadth of black oppositional spirit and activity that preceded the civil rights movement. The diversity of activism covered by this collection extends from tenant farmers' labor reform campaign in the 1919 Elaine, Arkansas massacre to Harry T. Moore's leadership of a movement that registered 100,000 black Floridians years before Montgomery, and from women's participation in the Garvey movement to the changing meaning of the Lincoln Memorial. Concentrating on activist efforts in the South, key themes emerge, including the underappreciated importance of historical memory and community building, the divisive impact of class and sexism, and the shifting interplay between individual initiative and structural constraints."--Publisher description.

Jacqueline Woodson--New York Times Bestselling, National Book Award and Newbery Honor winning author--writes a rich story of a family adapting to change as they hold on to the past and embrace the future. With Coretta Scott King Award–winning illustrator James Ransome. During the time of the Great Migration, millions of African American families relocated from the South, seeking better opportunities. The story of one family’s journey north during the Great Migration starts with a little girl in South Carolina who finds a rope under a tree one summer. She has no idea the rope will become part of her family’s history. But for three generations, that rope is passed down, used for everything from jump rope games to tying suitcases onto a car for the big move north to New York City, and even for a family reunion where that first little girl is now a grandmother.

Obediah knew how it would end before it began. His years in the mountains, living with and running from Indians of one tribe or another, had taught him well. They were at loggerheads with this proud man waiting for them in the growing heat of the prairie. Their encounter here in this place would end in violence as surely as the sun burned in the heavens above, because true communication simply was not possible.Fire on my command. It was Major Finch. One volley in unison will break their charge.The ground shook with the thunder of hooves as the Indians rode down on the small encampment, their screams filling the crisp morning air.In End of the Rope, Brad E Hainsworth brings life to the heart-rending struggles endured by those who opened and settled the American West. It is a story of love and conflict so compelling, the reader will not want to set it down until the last page is turned. By any standard End of the Rope is a superb novel.
