- Say their names : how Black lives came to matter in America / by Bunn, Curtis,author.; Charles, Nick(Journalist),author.; Cottman, Michael H.,author.; Gaines, Patrice,author.; Harriston, Keith,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."For many, the story of the weeks of protests in the summer of 2020 began with the horrific nine minutes and twenty-nine seconds when Police Officer Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd on camera, and it ended with the sweeping federal, state, and intrapersonal changes that followed. It is a simple story, wherein white America finally witnessed enough brutality to move their collective consciousness. The only problem is that it isn't true. George Floyd was not the first Black man to be killed by police-he wasn't even the first to inspire nation-wide protests-yet his death came at a time when America was already at a tipping point. In say their names, five seasoned journalists probe this critical shift. With a piercing examination of how inequality has been propagated throughout history, from Black imprisonment and the Convict Leasing program to long-standing predatory medical practices to over-policing, the authors highlight the disparities that have long characterized the dangers of being Black in America. They examine the many moderate attempts to counteract these inequalities, from the modern Civil Rights movement to Ferguson, and how the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others pushed compliance with an unjust system to its breaking point. Finally, they outline the momentous changes that have resulted from this movement, while at the same time proposing necessary next steps to move forward. With a combination of penetrating, focused journalism and affecting personal insight, the authors bring together their collective years of reporting, creating a cohesive and comprehensive understanding of racial inequality in America"--

- Warren and Bill : Gates, Buffett, and the friendship that changed the world / by McCarten, Anthony,1961-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Few friendships have had such far-reaching implications for the world -- from finance to technology to philanthropy -- than that between Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. After meeting at a party in 1991, the two played cards and golf, shared jokes, swapped trade secrets, ate junk food, talked and listened. Their growing friendship would impact each man and lead to change on a grander scale, culminating in the development of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which holds nearly $50 billion in assets. How did such an unusual union blossom? In what ways specifically did each man begin to influence the other? How did these two avid wealth accumulators jointly decide to address some of the world's most critical problems -- poverty, disease, inequality -- by giving their wealth away? And what, finally, does their giga-wealthy partnership mean for the rest of us in an age of great wealth -- and great inequality? This book gives the fullest account yet of this extraordinary relationship and explores how it has transformed these two men -- and is changing the world for the better for all of us."--
