From the dust jacket: "First published in 1995, Bus Ride to Justice, the best-selling autobiography by acclaimed civil rights attorney Fred D. Gray, appears now in a newly revised edition that updates Gray's remarkable career of destroying everything segregated that I could find. Of particular interest will be the details Gray reveals for the first time about Rosa Parks's 1955 arrest. Gray was the young lawyer for Parks and also Martin Luther King Jr. and the Montgomery Improvement Association, which organized the 382-day Montgomery Bus Boycott after Parks's arrest. As the last survivor of that inner circle, Gray speaks about the strategic reasons Parks was presented as a demure, random victim of Jim Crow policies when in reality she was a committed, strong-willed activist who was willing to be arrested so there could be a test case to challenge segregation laws. Gray's remarkable career also includes landmark civil rights cases in voting rights, education, housing, employment, law enforcement, jury selection, and more. He is widely considered one of the most successful civil rights attorneys of the twentieth century and his cases are studied in law schools around the world. In addition he was an ordained Church of Christ minister and was one of the first blacks elected to the Alabama legislature in the modern era. Initially denied entrance to Alabamas segregated law school, he eventually became the first black president of the Alabama bar association. This volume also includes new photographs not found in the previous edition.". SIGNED by the AUTHOR (his signature only). Revised edition. Hardcover. Very Good condition/Very Good dust jacket.

Soft cover. Condizione: As New. 202, pages ; 28 cm. ; ISBN 9781584208839, 158420883X ; LCCN 2024406067 ; OCLC 1400788266 ; yellow and red stiff paper wrappers ; Contents: Astrosophy -- The Seven Ideals of the Rose of the World -- Letter to the Editor -- The Bull Hurls a Thunderbolt -- Individual Spirit Beings and the Constant Foundation of the Universe -- Practical Application -- One Hundred Years after the Karma Lectures by Rudolf Steiner -- Lunar Calendar for Farmers and Gardeners -- Ode to Deneb -- Ephemerides -- Glossary of Esoteric Christianity -- Cited Works and Related ; "Star Wisdom is scientific, resting on a solid mathematical-astronomical foundation and a secure chronology of the life of Jesus Christ, while it is also spiritual, aspiring to the higher dimension of existence, expressed outwardly in the world of stars. The scientific and the spiritual come together in the sidereal zodiac that originated with the Babylonians and was used by the three magi who beheld the star of Bethlehem and came to pay homage to Jesus a few months after his birth." -- Robert Powell, PhD ; Each volume of Star Wisdom includes articles of interest on star wisdom (Astrosophy) and a guide to the correspondences between stellar configurations during the life of Christ and those of today. The guide comprises a complete sidereal ephemeris and aspectarian, geocentric and heliocentric, for days throughout the year. According to Rudolf Steiner, every step taken by Christ during his ministry between the Baptism in the Jordan and the Resurrection was in harmony with--and an expression of--the cosmos. Star Wisdom is concerned with heavenly correspondences during the life of Christ. It is intended to provide a foundation for cosmic Christianity, the cosmic dimension of Christianity--a dimension that has been missing from its two-thousand-year history. Readers can begin on this path by contemplating today's movements of the Sun, Moon, and planets against the background of the zodiacal constellations (sidereal signs) in relation to corresponding stellar events during the life of Christ. This opens the possibility of attuning, in a living way throughout the year, to the life of Christ in the etheric cosmos. Star Wisdom, volume 6, features a variety of articles that, although historical in many cases, are relevant to the present time, beginning with Joel Matthews' foreword, which focuses on the social and spiritual significance of the eclipse of 2024 ("the gateway out of the Age of Eclipse and into Apocalypse"), as well as eclipses of recent years and another that will occur in 2045. Joel Park also brings part 3 of "The Sacrifices of Jesus and Christ," with a comprehensive view of several millennia of past and coming times of transformation. He also brings part 4 of "Returning to the Origin of the Houses: Practical Application and Summary," which aligns the Houses and Tarot. Julie Humphreys' article, "The Bull hurls a Thunderbolt," discusses Uranus as it passes through the cusp of Aries and Taurus in June, in sync with the human biographical seven-year periods of life. Also included is a lecture by Rudolf Steiner, "Individual Spirit Beings and the Constant Foundation of the Universe," from Secret Brotherhoods and the Mystery of the Human Double, discussing the influences of secret brotherhoods and the transition of human culture to a new era. Krisztina Cseri's article, "One Hundred Years after the Karma Lectures by Rudolf Steiner," illumines "karmic relationships from an astrological point of view." Robert Powell's "Classics in Astrosophy" series revisits the concept of a lunar calendar for farmers and gardeners. The ephemerides for this volume cover not only the months of 2024, but also most of the months during the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ, from December ad 29 to June 33, which may be used in conjunction with The Visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich." ; AS NEW.

dj. First Edition. Octavo. 22cm. Publisher's gray cloth titled in black to spine. Dustjacket. [xvi]; 400pp. Light bumping to spine ends and some very light soiling in places, in a bright, clean dustjacket, internally clean, a near fine copy. Inscribed by the author to the half title: "To Walter Burch, Keep up the Work, Fred W. Gray 4/27/95" The Walter Burch in question is almost certainly the man who was originally part of the Greensboro PD and was a witness to (and professonal participantin) the manner in which the South treated those who defied the shackles and chains of "tradition" and in later life seems to have developed an intense interest and sympathy in the cause. Mr. Burch's LEO history is also possibly the reason for the unusual "keep up the work" inscription, rather than the more usual "good work" phrasing; Mr. Gray had more than earned the right to a healthy skepticism, but they both would have been men of advanced years at this point. Fred Gray was, among many other things connected to the African American struggle for Civil Rights, a lawyer who worked with MLK Jr., prosecuted on the Tuskegee Syphilis revelations on behalf of men who had been in the program, the desegregation of schools in Albama, the 1965 Selma March, and was the defense lawyer for Rosa Parks in her trial for breaking the segregated seating laws on Montgomery public transport. At just about every major flashpoint in the mid 20th century history of civil rights, Fred Gray was present, standing up, and being counted. Signed.…
