1956, when John Lewis was a boy of 16 in Troy, Alabama, he went downtown with his brothers and sisters and cousins to the Pike County Public Library to get library cards. When they got there, the librarian told them that the library was for whites only, not for “coloreds.” He never returned to that library until July 5, 1998, when he went to sign his new book Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement. He was warmly welcomed by an audience both black and white, and the library staff belatedly presented him with a library card.

That was only one of many stories US Congressman John Lewis (D–Ga.) told a packed room of librarians during his Auditorium Speaker Series speech on Saturday afternoon. His deep, sonorous voice scarcely needed a microphone as he recounted his early years in the Civil Rights Movement—as one of the original Freedom Riders in 1960, as the last remaining speaker from the historic March on Washington in 1963, and as one of 600 marchers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, on Bloody Sunday in 1965 when he was beaten severely by state troopers

more likely to elicit laughs and rude remarks rather than screams and rooting interest.

while it's not a terribly original entry in the "creepy doll" horror subgenre, this fright flick nonetheless offers interesting characters, a strong cast, expert pacing, and a spooky atmosphere.

Which sentence in this excerpt from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich suggests that ivan ilyich aspired to be part of the elite in society from a young age? a.ivan ilyich was le phenix de la famille as people said. he was neither as cold and formal as his elder brother nor as wild as the younger, but was a happy mean between them—an intelligent polished, lively and agreeable man.b. even when he was at the school of law he was just what he remained for the rest of his life: a capable, cheerful, good-natured, and sociable man, though strict in the fulfillment of what he considered to be his duty: and he considered his duty to be what was so considered by those in authority.c.neither as a boy nor as a man was he a toady, but from early youth was by nature attracted to people of high station as a fly is drawn to the light, assimilating their ways and views of life and establishing friendly relations with them.d.all the enthusiasms of childhood and youth passed without leaving much trace on him; he succumbed to sensuality, to vanity, and latterly among the highest classes to liberalism, but always within limits which his instinct unfailingly indicated to him as correct.e.at school he had done things which had formerly seemed to him very horrid and made him feel disgusted with himself when he did them;
