Honorable Mention in the 2005 Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book Awards

Nearly fifty years after his death, Albert Einstein remains one of America's foremost cultural icons. A thicket of materials, ranging from scholarly to popular, have been written, compiled, produced, and published about his life and his teachings. Among the ocean of Einsteinia-scientific monographs, biographies, anthologies, bibliographies, calendars, postcards, posters, and Hollywood films-however, there is a peculiar void when it comes to the connection that the brilliant scientist had with the African American community. Nowhere is there any mention of his close relationship with Paul Robeson, despite Einstein's close friendship with him, or W.E.B. Du Bois, despite Einstein's support for him.

This unique volume is the first to bring together a wealth of writings by the scientist on the topic of race. Although his activism in this area is less well known than his efforts on behalf of international peace and scientific cooperation, Einstein spoke out vigorously against racism both in the United States and around the world. Fred Jerome and Rodger Taylor suggest that one explanation for this historical amnesia is that Einstein's biographers avoided "controversial" topics, such as his friendships with African Americans and his political activities, including his involvement as co-chair of an antilynching campaign, fearing that mention of these details may tarnish the feel-good impression his image lends topics of science, history, and America.

Combining the scientist's letters, speeches, and articles with engaging narrative and historical discussions that place his public statements in the context of his life and times, this important collection not only brings attention to Einstein's antiracist public activities, but also provides insight into the complexities of antiracist culture in America. The volume also features a selection of candid interviews with African Americans who knew Einstein as children.

For a man whose words and reflections have influenced so many, it is long overdue that Einstein's thoughts on this vital topic are made easily accessible to the general public.

Cute necklace will be in high rotation
Color: T
I absolutely love this sunflower initial necklace! The moment I put it on, I could tell this was going to be a special piece in my jewelry collection. The combination of the delicate sunflower charm with the heart-shaped initial "T" is just stunning – it's feminine without being overly fussy, and the design feels both modern and timeless. I bought this as a gift for my sister-in-law, and she was genuinely touched by how thoughtful and beautiful it is. The white gold plating gives it an elegant shine that catches the light beautifully, and it's substantial enough to feel like quality jewelry while still being comfortable for everyday wear. The necklace itself is well-crafted with attention to detail – the sunflower petals have a lovely texture, and the initial letter sits perfectly within the heart shape. The chain length is ideal for layering with other necklaces or wearing alone, and it sits right at that perfect spot on your collarbone. I've been wearing mine regularly for a few weeks now, and the plating has held up wonderfully with no tarnishing or color changes. The clasp is secure and easy to manage on your own, which I really appreciate since I wear it daily. The style strikes that perfect balance between special occasion jewelry and something you can throw on with jeans and a sweater. I recommend this product because it's a genuinely well-made piece that feels personal and meaningful while being durable enough for regular wear.
