The legacy of African American schools during the days of segregation includes some legends that finally get showcased in “Oklahoma City's African American Education,” a new book by local author and historian Anita Arnold. Too many locals are unaware of the names that came through these schools, including Ralph Ellison, author of “The Invisible Man,” who featured his hometown in “Shadow and Act.” Arnold ties his story together with jazz greats Charlie Christian and Jimmy Rushing, as well as early day publisher and civil rights leader Roscoe Dunjee. With “Oklahoma City's African American Education” we also get a detailed account of the first African American schools, how they grew and relocated with time, and how they evolved into the institutions that continue today. Arnold's book delves into the remarkable achievements of these schools, opened against the odds of the day and in the era of Jim Crow.Read more on NewsOK.com

How puzzling can help you get your edge back
Denver Post: Books, Monday - 04/22/2024 - 08:00 AM
I’ve completed 17 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles in the past 14 weeks. Mostly by myself. Over that same time, I also cut way back on booze, halved my phone screen time (okay, it’s maybe 30% less), and gone on a dozen hikes. All without losing a single cardboard piece. I never really saw myself as a puzzler, but it’s become a nice way to put aside the problems of the world and focus on something else for five or 10 minutes, or for a couple of hours.
