Phillis Wheatley\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n \n \nPhillis WheatleyPhillis Wheatley (1753 - December 5, 1784), was the second American woman and the second African American writer to be published in the United States. Her book Poems on Various Subjects was published in 1773, three years before the American Revolution began, and is seen as one of the first examples of African American literature.\n\nhope that helps

Your local genealogical society welcomes volunteers to transcibe records. They will upload them to a US Gen Web site. If you are not willing to do that for free, you can't complain that others were not willing to do it for free either. The people at Ancestry transcribe records because someone pays them. If everyone who complained about Ancestry transcribed two pages a day for a year or two, the Internet would be full of free data.\n\nWithout a genral idea - like birth year and which town, county, state and nation Artelia and Theodore lived in - people will have a hard time helping you.\n\nI found\nARTELIA ROBINSON  \nb. 30 Sep 1918 \nd. Sep 1984 \nLR (Brooklyn, Anne Arundel, MD)\n\non a hunch - most people who post without any clues are americans who know their grandparent's name and want to find a 12-generation tree instantly.\n\nIn the same town is\n\nTHEODORE ROBINSON  \nb. 23 Jan 1905 \nb. Sep 1971 \n\nThere is another Theodore, b. 1936, whose LR is Annapolis.\n\nAre those the two you mean?\n\nIf so, this might be Artelia in 1920:\n\nShocco, Warren, North Carolina \n\n(Name, approx. birth year, birth state, race)\n\nArtelia Christmas    abt 1918 North Carolina Black  \n\nWrite if it is and I will transcribe the family for you.

It was hit on May 6, 1915. He was pitching as a member of the Boston Red Sox against the NY Yankees. That game was played at the Polo Grounds. Ruth took Yankees pitcher Jack Warhop deep in the top of the third, and added two more hits later that day.

Josh Gibson indoubtly. He is the best ballplayer to live. It could be argued that he cannot be compared with Ruth because he never played in the MLB. But I believe that the pitching was just as tough in the Negro Leagues and even the life was tougher.

I was not sure so I check a Bible scholar named Matthew Henry and he said "Miriam was struck with a leprosy, but not Aaron, because she was first in the transgression, and God would put a difference between those that mislead and those that are misled." I am still pondering the question but hopefully this will give you something to think about.

Well, from my time in Brazil, I can say they are called pretos which means blacks. In English, I always say Afro-Brazilian because it sums it up easily and effectively. \n\nAs far as England...you got me there.

I read this book many, many years ago and loved it.  I've heard it described as "Gone with the Wind" from the African-American point of view.\n\nBiography of Margaret Walker and criticism of her works (including Jubilee):\nhttp://voices.cla.umn.edu/vg/Bios/entries/alexander_margaret_abigail_walker.html\n\nYou can get a lot from readers' reviews:  \nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/0395924952/002-7868398-3194440
