Roundtree: Symphony No. 1 In D, 'Heroes' And Worship Music ForOrchestra Roundtree / Worship Orchestra of Washington - CD 888295377041

Winner of the Association of Black Women Historians' 2009 Letitia Woods Brown Memorial Book PrizeFrom the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina, to the segregated courtrooms of the nation's capital, from the white male bastion of the World War II Army to the male stronghold of Howard University Law School, from the pulpits of churches where women had waited for years for the right to minister-in all these places Dovey Johnson Roundtree (b. 1914) sought justice. Though she is a legendary African American figure in the legal community of Washington, D.C., she remains largely unknown to the American public.Justice Older than the Law is her story, the product of a remarkable, ten-year collaboration with National Magazine Award winner Katie McCabe. As a protégé of Mary McLeod Bethune, Roundtree became one of the first women to break the gender and color barriers in the United States military. Inspired by Thurgood Marshall and James Madison Nabrit, Jr., at Howard University Law School, Roundtree went on to make history by winning a 1955 bus desegregation case, Sarah Keys v. Carolina Coach Company. That decision demolished "separate but equal" in the realm of interstate transportation and enabled Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy to combat southern resistance to the Freedom Riders' campaign in 1961.At a time when black attorneys had to leave the courthouses to use the bathrooms, Roundtree took on Washington's white legal establishment and prevailed. She led the vanguard of women ordained to the ministry in the African Methodist Episcopal Church in 1961 and merged her law practice with her ministry to fight for families and children being destroyed by urban violence. Hers is a vision of biblical and social justice older by far than the law, and her life story speaks movingly and urgently to our racially troubled times.

He's the coolest private detective around, caught up in all the hottest cases. Can you dig it? Richard Roundtree portrays street smart Harlem sleuth John Shaft, reprising the film role he played in three trend-setting movies of the early 1970s (and would revisit in the 2000 Shaft remake starring Samuel L. Jackson). in these seven episodes that each ran in a 90-minute timeslot, Shaft likes his women chic, his cars fast and his clothes expensive - and takes the fight to mob lowlifes, scum-balls an

Mention Shaft and most people think of Gordon Parks' seminal 1971 film starring Richard Roundtree in a leather coat, walking the streets of Manhattan to Isaac Hayes' iconic theme music. But the black private dick who inspired the blaxploitation film genre actually made his debut on the printed page as the creation of a white novelist. Ernest Tidyman was a seasoned journalist down on his luck when he decided to try his hand at fiction. Shaft was the result, giving Tidyman the break he was looking for. He went on to become an Academy Award winning screenwriter and respected film producer. Based on extensive research of Tidyman's personal papers, this book tells the story of Shaft from the perspective of his creator. The author provides new insight and analysis of the writing of the Shaft novels, as well as the production of the films and TV series. First-ever coverage of the forgotten Shaft newspaper comic strip includes previously unseen artwork. Also included is Shaft's recent reappearance on the printed page, in both comic book and prose form.

When Harlem P.I. John Shaft first appeared on the movie scene, he was a shut your mouth detective to reckon with, a fact underscored by Isaac Hayes' Oscar winning Best Original Song (1971). Richard Roundtree plays the hard-hitting, street-smart title role in these signature blaxploitation films, hunting for a kidnap victim in Shaft (1971) and seeking a friend's murderer in Shaft's Big Score! Mixing it up with mob thugs each time. Finally, there's Shaft in Africa (He's the Brother Man in the Moth

Antitrust, directed by Peter Howitt (Sliding Doors) from a screenplay by Howard Franklin (The Name of The Rose), features a cast that includes Rachael Leigh Cook (Get Carter) as Lisa, Milo's friend and co-worker; Claire Forlani, (Meet Joe Black) as Alice, his girlfriend; with supporting players Richard Roundtree (Shaft); Tygh Runyan (Snakes On A Plane) and Ned Bellamy (Django Unchained).

In this history, Helen C. Roundtree traces events that shaped the lives of the Powhatan Indians of Virginia, from their first encounter with English colonists, in 1607, to their present-day way of life and relationship to the state of Virginia and the federal government. Roundtree’s examination of those four hundred years misses not a beat in the pulse of Powhatan life. Combining meticulous scholarship and sensitivity, the author explores the diversity always found among Powhatan people, and those people’s relationships with the English, the government of the fledgling United States, the Union and the Confederacy, the U.S. Census Bureau, white supremacists, the U.S. Selective Service, and the civil rights movement.
