Librarians around the country are currently on a battleground, defending their right to purchase and circulate books dealing with issues of race and systemic racism. Despite this work, the library community has often overlooked—even ignored—its own history of White supremacy and deliberate inaction on the part of White librarians and library leadership. Author Wayne A. Wiegand takes a crucial step to amend this historical record. In Silence or Indifference: Racism and Jim Crow Segregated Public School Libraries (University of Mississippi Press, 2024) analyzes and critiques the world of professional librarianship between 1954 and 1974. Wiegand begins by identifying racism in the practice and customs of public school libraries in the years leading up to the Brown v. Board of Education decision. This culture permeated the next two decades, as subsequent Supreme Court decisions led to feeble and mostly unsuccessful attempts to integrate Jim Crow public schools and their libraries. During this same period, the profession was honing its national image as a defender of intellectual freedom, a proponent of the freedom to read, and an opponent of censorship. Still, the community did not take any unified action to support Brown or to visibly oppose racial segregation. As Black school librarians and their Black patrons suffered through the humiliations and hostility of the Jim Crow educational establishment, the American library community remained largely ambivalent and silent. The book brings to light a distressing history that continues to impact the library community, its students, and its patrons. Currently available school library literature skews the historical perspective that informs the present. In Silence or Indifference is the first attempt to establish historical accountability for the systemic racism contemporary school librarianship inherited in the twenty-first century. Wayne A. Wiegand is F. William Summers Professor of Library and Information Studies Emeritus at Florida State University. Often referred to as “the Dean of American library historians,” he is author of many scholarly articles and books, including Irrepressible Reformer: A Biography of Melvil Dewey; Part of Our Lives: A People's History of the American Public Library; and American Public School Librarianship: A History. Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology. Jen edits for Partnership Journal and organizes with the TPS Collective.

♥ Tu étais le seul qui n'a pas abandonné jusqu'à ce qu'il ait conquis mon cœur et la chose la plus mignonne de toutes est que tu continues à le faire tous les jours. Joyeuse Saint-Valentin, mon amour!     ♥ A tes côtés je me sens la femme la plus heureuse du monde et je me rends compte que mon cœur était rempli d'un amour pour toi qui grandit et s'approfondit. Félicitations pour notre journée!     ♥ Toi seul as le pouvoir de me faire sentir que je peux flotter dans les airs et avec chacun de tes baisers tu me fais toucher le ciel. Joyeuse Saint-Valentin 2022, ma vie!     ♥ Cette journée est parfaite pour te montrer à quel point je t'aime, être à tes côtés et te rendre si heureux. Profitons d'une belle Saint-Valentin! "    ♥ Si nos chemins se croisent par coïncidence ce n'est pas grave, je sais juste que je t'aime de toute la force de mon cœur et que je t'aimerai pour toujours.    L'amour. Le grand, le vrai, celui avec un grand A. L'amour qui transcende, secoue, désarçonne et transporte. Cet amour véritable qui, depuis toujours, a nourri les artistes, de l'écrivain(e) au peintre, du/de la cinéaste au/à la musicien(ne). Et bien que personne ne remette son existence en cause, la notion du « vrai amour » reste ardue à définir. Car rien n'est plus personnel que le sentiment amoureux.    Dans ce contexte, difficile donc de vous donner une signification de l'amour vrai, claire et objective. À la place, voici la définition - très personnelle - d'hommes et de femmes qui l'ont expérimenté.    L'amour vrai et sincère, qui résiste au temps    Pour Emma, architecte bordelaise, le vrai amour, c'est celui qui résiste au temps. Celui qui ne s'explique pas, mais qui chamboule tout sur son passage.    « J'ai vécu une relation en pointillé pendant toute ma vingtaine. Lorsque je l'ai rencontré, j'étais en couple. J'ai eu une aventure avec lui, ai sérieusement songé à quitter mon compagnon de l'époque mais suis finalement restée, par crainte de faire une erreur. J'ai coupé les ponts et nous nous sommes retrouvés deux ans plus tard. Cette fois-ci les rôles s'étaient inversés : j'étais célibataire, il était en couple. La situation s'est répétée, puis c'est lui qui a, cette fois-ci, coupé les ponts.    Puis, deux ans plus tard, l'histoire se répète à nouveau. Nous sommes alors tous les deux en couple. Il me propose de tout quitter pour partir avec lui. J'ai très sérieusement songé à le suivre, mais je n'ai pas eu le courage de renoncer à mon quotidien, mon confort. Il est aujourd'hui marié. Malgré tout, une partie de moi ne peut s'empêcher de penser qu'on finira un jour par se (re)trouver. Entre nous, c'est un amour qui ne s'explique pas, qui résiste au temps, à l'absence de l'autre. Et qui est toujours aussi fort quand on se retrouve, même après des années de silence. »    Le véritable amour existe     Marta, institutrice de 36 ans, estime que le vrai amour, c'est celui qui tient bon face aux difficultés de la vie.     https://lesen.amazon.de/kp/embed?asin=B07DHTHDGG&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_9HM6ACQRTCMNYG4324V3&tag=storeup09-20    ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆   https://linktr.ee/jacksonlibon   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  #facebook #instagram #amour #couple #couplegoals #famille #relation #doudou #TotalEnergiesAFCON2022 #TeamTunisia #CAN2021     $BTC $ETH #cryptocurrency  #Bitcoin #Ethereum #Avalanche#altcoins #Crypto #NFTs #Avalanche #innovation #CryptocurrencyNews #cashback #YieldFarming   #TotalEnergiesAFCON2021 #TeamMali #TUNMLI #teamegypt #afcon2021   #TeamCameroon #youtube #twitter #tiktok #love #reeĺs #shorts #instagood #follow #like #ouy #oyu #babyshark #lilnasx #girl #happybirthday #movie #olive #garden #menu #deviance #autotrader #trading #khan #academy #carter #carguru #ancestry #accords #abc #news #bts #cbs #huru bluebook #socialmedia #whatsapp #music #google #photography #memes #marketing #india #followforfollowback #likeforlikes #a #insta #fashion #k #trending #digitalmarketing #covid #o #snapchat #socialmediamarketing

Sep. 15, 2015. The public library is a "part of our lives," argues a new book on the history of American libraries as told through the testimonies of those who use them. Library historian Wayne A. Wiegand makes the case for why the library has survived and flourished in the 21st century, "despite dire predictions in the late 20th century that public libraries would not survive the turn of the millennium." Speaker Biography: Wayne A. Wiegand is the F. William Summers professor emeritus at the School of Information at Florida State University and one of the nation's leading library historians.
