Now with a new foreword, this timely reissue features a remarkable collection of oral histories that trace three decades of turbulent race relations and social change in the United States for a new generation of activists. One evening in 1955, Howard Spence, a Mississippi field representative for the NAACP investigating the Emmett Till murder, was confronted by Klansmen who burned an eight-foot cross on his front lawn. ";I felt my life wasn't worth a penny with a hole in it."; Twenty-four years later, Spence had become a respected pillar of that same Mississippi town, serving as its first Black alderman. The story of Howard Spence is just one of the remarkable personal dramas recounted in Black Lives, White Lives. Beginning in 1968, Bob Blauner and a team of interviewers recorded the words of those caught up in the crucible of rapid racial, social, and political change. Unlike most retrospective oral histories, these interviews capture the intense racial tension of 1968 in real time, as people talk with unusual candor about their deepest fears and prejudices. The diverse experiences and changing beliefs of Blauner's interview subjects-sixteen of them Black, twelve of them white-are expanded through subsequent interviews in 1979 and 1986, revealing as much about ordinary, daily lives as the extraordinary cultural shifts that shaped them. This book remains a landmark historical and sociological document, and an exceptional primary-source commentary on the development of race relations since the 1960s. Republished with a foreword by Professor Gerald Early, Black Lives, White Lives offers new generations of scholars and activists a galvanizing meditation on how divided America was then and still is today

Motivation: The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblages using a broad range of metrics. BioTIME is being developed as a community-led open-source database of biodiversity time series. Our goal is to accelerate and facilitate quantitative analysis of temporal patterns of biodiversity in the Anthropocene. Main types of variables included: The database contains 8,777,413 species abundance records, from assemblages consistently sampled for a minimum of 2 years, which need not necessarily be consecutive. In addition, the database contains metadata relating to sampling methodology and contextual information about each record. Spatial location and grain: BioTIME is a global database of 547,161 unique sampling locations spanning the marine, freshwater and terrestrial realms. Grain size varies across datasets from 0.0000000158 km(2) (158 cm(2)) to 100 km(2) (1,000,000,000,000 cm(2)). Time period and grainBio: TIME records span from 1874 to 2016. The minimal temporal grain across all datasets in BioTIME is a year. Major taxa and level of measurement: BioTIME includes data from 44,440 species across the plant and animal kingdoms, ranging from plants, plankton and terrestrial invertebrates to small and large vertebrates. ; European Research Council; EU [AdG-250189, PoC-727440, ERC-SyG-2013-610028]; Natural Environmental Research Council [NE/L002531/1]; National Science Foundation [DEB-1237733, DEB-1456729, 9714103, 0632263, 0856516, 1432277, DEB 9705814, BSR-8811902, DEB 9411973, DEB 0080538, DEB 0218039, DEB 0620910, DEB 0963447, DEB-1546686, DEB-129764]; National Science Foundation (LTER) [DEB-1235828, DEB-1440297, DBI-0620409, DEB-9910514, DEB-1237517, OCE-0417412, OCE-1026851, OCE-1236905, OCE-1637396, DEB 1440409, DEB-0832652, DEB-0936498, DEB-0620652, DEB-1234162, DEB-0823293, OCE-9982105, OCE-0620276, OCE-1232779]; Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia [POPH/FSE SFRH/BD/90469/2012, SFRH/BD/84030/2012, PTDC/BIA-BIC/111184/2009]; Ciencia sem Fronteiras/CAPES [1091/13-1]; Instituto Milenio de Oceanografia [IC120019]; ARC Centre of Excellence [CE0561432]; NSERC Canada; CONICYT/FONDECYT [1160026, ICM PO5-002, 11110351, 1151094, 1070808, 1130511]; RSF [14-50-00029]; Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation [GBMF4563]; Catalan Government; Marie Curie Individual Fellowship [QLK5-CT2002-51518, MERG-CT-2004-022065]; CNPq [306170/2015-9, 475434/2010-2, 403809/2012-6, 561897/2010, 306595-2014-1]; FAPESP (Sao Paulo Research Foundation) [2015/10714-6, 2015/06743-0, 2008/10049-9, 2013/50714-0, 1999/09635-0 e 2013/50718-5]; EU CLIMOOR [ENV4-CT97-0694]; VULCAN [EVK2-CT2000-00094]; DFG [120/10-2]; Polar Continental Shelf Program; CENPES - PETROBRAS; FAPERJ [E-26/110.114/ 2013]; German Academic Exchange Service; New Zealand Department of Conservation; Wellcome Trust [105621/Z/14/Z]; Smithsonian Atherton Seidell Fund; Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority; Research Council of Norway; Conselleria de Innovacio, Hisenda i Economia; Yukon Government Herschel Island-Qikiqtaruk Territorial Park; UK Natural Environment Research Council ShrubTundra Grant [NE/M016323/1]; IPY; Memorial University; ArcticNet; Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research in the Tropics NWO [W84-194]; Ciencias sem Fronteiras and Coordenacao de Pessoal de Nivel Superior (CAPES, Brazil) [1091/13-1]; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service/State Wildlife federal grant [T-15]; Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies [CE140100020]; Australian Research Council Future Fellowship [FT110100609]; University of Lodz; NSF DEB [1353139]; Catalan Government fellowships (DURSI) [1998FI-00596, 2001BEAI200208]; MECD Post-doctoral fellowship [EX2002-0022]; FONDECYT [1141037]; FONDAP [15150003]; [SFRH/BD/80488/2011]; [PD/BD/52597/2014]; [REN2000-0278/CCI]; [REN2001-003/GLO]; [CGL2016-79835-P]; [AGAUR SGR-2014453]; [SGR-2017-1005]; [FCT - SFRH / BPD / 82259 / 2011]; [OCE 95-21184]; [OCE-0099226]; [OCE 03-5234]; [OCE-0623874]; [OCE-1031061]; [OCE-1336206]; [DEB-1354563]; [OPP-1440435] ; 12 month embargo; published online: 24 July 2018 ; This item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.
