Stories of Freedom in Black New York by Shane White, ISBN 0674008936
Through exhaustive research, White imaginatively re-creates the experience of black New Yorkers as they moved from slavery to freedom. He recovers the raucous world of the street, the elegance of the city's African-American balls, and the grubbiness of the Police Office. This book offers a unique understanding of emancipation's impact on everyday life, and on the many forms freedom can take.
Dirty Dozen, The (Widescreen)
They are convicts, psychos, losers-and champs at the box office and in movie lore. Decades after it burst onto the scene, "The Dirty Dozen" remains a milestone among ensemble action flicks.

And Robert Aldrich ("The Longest Yard") directs, blending anti-authority gibes with explosive excitement. Nominated for four Academy Awards, "The Dirty Dozen" won for Best Sound Effects.
