"In His Own Words: The Writings, Speeches, and Letters of George Henry White, 1881-1918" offers a comprehensive view of the career of an African American political pioneer. The first African American to serve in the U.S. Congress in the twentieth century, George Henry White was also a renowned American orator and public servant for nearly four decades.

Editor Benjamin Justesen, author of "George Henry White: An Even Chance in the Race of Life-the first full-length biography of White" (2001)- compiled this exhaustive supplementary collection. Known best for his 1901 "farewell speech" to Congress, White's varied career extended far beyond the U.S. Capitol, including a powerful role as an early civil rights leader. Beginning as a North Carolina lawyer, Republican legislator, and school principal and ending as a Philadelphia banker and assistant city solicitor, he personally touched the lives of thousands with words and deeds. White also set a rare example of selfless racial leadership during a troubled period by founding Whitesboro, the experimental New Jersey colony which still bears his name.

Letters, speeches, and other documents highlight White's eloquent thoughts on key issues of the day, such as:

  • the epidemic of lynching
  • Southern disfranchisement of African American voters
  • the dismissal of African American soldiers after the Brownsville, Texas, incident
  • the most effective political philosophy for African Americans.

"In His Own Words" offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a true American hero, as well as a compact, useful tool for scholars of the post-Reconstruction era of American history.

This is an excellent reminder in this time of overly managed care
Jean Watson has really articulated what nursing is about. She describes her theory of caring very clearly. She has reawakened my passion for nursing. She really challenges nurses to reflect on their individual interactions with patient. This is an excellent reminder in this time of overly managed care, where there is so much pressure to accomplish tasks and forget about "caring" for the patient. I do not agree with the more New Age aspects of the theory, but the main premise, which is "caring" is very powerful. Jean Watson is a treasure.

The value of caring in Nursing for yesterday , today and tomorrow
Jean Watson is not only a top Nursing Theorist but her writing illuminates the way forward for humanity as well through caring about each other as individuals and uniting our cultures in love and caring as a whole. This being a seminal work on Nursing as Caring has an updated version of her brilliant thesis. Her steps are now Caritas processes and can be utilised to guide everyday nursing in any domain. Palliative Nurses would be able to glean plenty from Jean's amazing work which lives on internationally
