Black hands in Fayette County, Tennessee, were free to pick cotton and corn but were barred from casting ballots. A whirlwind of change blew through the county when Black landowners like John McFerren and Harpman Jameson organized registration drives to help Black citizens vote-but not without violent attempts to stop it. White farmers evicted Black sharecroppers off their land, leaving families stranded and forced to live in tents. White shopkeepers also refused to sell to them. But the voiceless did finally speak. In 1965 the Voting Rights Act legally ended voter discrimination. Alice Faye Duncan's powerful words and Charly Palmer's bold art not only capture the Tent City struggle but also the hope, determination, and unwavering courage of everyday people.

The Purple Sky Lullaby is a dream. It is a good dream and in a good dream anything lovely is possible. There are no scary witches or goblins so if that is what you are looking for you will not find it here.
Here you will find new friends(people and animals) who like to listen to their feelings inside and decide if they prefer to feel something different. They cleverly use their imagination to create new feeling blends and then give them new names. Once the feeling is named, it is sent out everywhere like a magical mist so that anyone can grab onto it and feel it if they want to. This is the main reason why they focus on creating new, better feelings. They know that as soon as they make them they are also sharing them. Sharing kinder thoughts and feelings makes everything seem bigger as they create their dream world together.
Sometimes they do not feel so good, but they know how to turn a thought over or how to step back from it and watch it go by so that another thought can try for their attention. They know not to judge a 'slumpy' feeling but instead, allow it to be there like a friend saying, 'Hello there, my name is Slumpy and I'm here to say as long as you think this way, you shall feel this way...and it's OK'.
We are feeling Humzingy now as we invite you into a world where every friend you meet is the Foreverlong Kind. The kind that creeps right into your heart and leaves you feeling Swoothe. The kind that will fly you to new places and show you color like you have never seen. The kind that will sing you a lullaby or a thank you poem just for being you.
This is a good feeling place that might possibly give you a trick or two for how to feel better all by yourself.
This is true mastery indeed.
Only in a Purple Sky Lullaby. Now what?
Nathalia Crane's poems are a treasure. Her verse can be lighthearted and humorous as when her 'heart is all a-flutter like the washing on a line' because she is in love with the Janitor's Boy, or she knows 'the tenseness of humiliating pain' when she sits on a bee. Her verse can be philosophical as when she considers the life of the Blind Girl 'In the darkness who would answer for the color of rose', or when she considers what she has learned from her many loves 'He showed me like a master That one rose makes a gown: That looking up to Heaven Is merely looking down'. With striking imagery as in The History of Honey 'in golden convoys to the mountains of the moon' and intuitiveness as in Berkley Common 'Berkley Common lies forgotten, with its fields of everlasting, And the sunlight on the windows of the empty houses there', Nathalia Crane, with her gift of rhyme and instinctive phrasing, turns the ordinary into the extraordinary.Knowing how important language development is to success in school, educator AnnaLisa Bodtker created alenbeebooks.
