Looking for something specific? The MTSU Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Program is a Federal TRIO Program funded by the US Department of Education and Middle Tennessee State University. Campus Map Becoming an astronaut in the United States space program is a major accomplishment for anyone, let alone an African-American from the small town of Lake City, South Carolina, but setting high standards and overcoming obstacles was part of life's journey for Ronald E. McNair. Born on October 21, 1950, McNair has been reported to have picked tobacco and cotton as a child to earn pocket money. His father, Carl McNair, Sr., worked as an auto repairman and his mother, Pearl McNair, was an elementary school teacher. McNair showed interest in the space program long before his opportunity to participate arrived. His father fondly tells of seven-year-old Ronald rushing out of his house just to gaze at the sky in amazement. McNair had just learned of the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik, the first satellite to enter space. Ronald, mesmerized by the notion that it could stay in the sky, watched for the satellite outside their house for hours, so he could get out of it's way, in case it fell out of the sky.

How to Write a Press Release www.iUniverse.com Press coverage is one of the most effective means available to generate buzz about your book. When you contact newspapers and other print media, you should always include a press release, an essential component of any media campaign. Here are some tips for writing a press release, including a template that you can cut and paste onto your own letterhead. MAKE IT ONE PAGE IF POSSIBLE: Editors are busy people who can’t take the time to read a lengthy press release. Make it short and professional! CONTACT INFORMATION: All press releases follow the same format. The release starts with your contact information so editors can reach you for more information. HEADLINE The headline grabs the reader; so make it short, simple, and effective! Think about effective newspaper headlines and write in a similar style. PRESS RELEASE Start the first line of your news story with the dateline [date of the release and your city, for example: January 1, 2002, San Jose, California).

Internet Sites What is literary criticism? Literary criticism records opinions of an author's work. Literary critics analyze, describe, evaluate, interpret, or summarize a particular work and their comments can help you define your own views. Literary criticism also often discusses a work's historical context which may give you a better insight to an author's purpose. Most literary criticism will not give a detailed plot summary or a line-by-line translation and as such, it will never successfully substitute for reading the original work. Many valuable pieces of literary criticism do not discuss specific titles in detail but rather evaluate a writer's work as a whole. Although such general discussions may not address your assigned short story or poem, they often provide information that can help you understand and interpret the work.

29. Margaret Walker - Biography the deepest desire of the author to record What translates is a specific, unparalleledbeauty and tales that were integral to African American oral expression http://www.ibiblio.org/ipa/walker/bio.html

Biography Margaret Abigail Walker was born on 7 July 1915 in Birmingham, Alabama. Her parents, the Reverend Sigismund C. Walker, a Methodist minister and an educator, and Marion Dozier Walker, a music teacher, encouraged her to read poetry and philosophy from an early age. Walker completed her high school education at Gilbert Academy in New Orleans, Louisiana, where her family had moved in 1925. She went on to attend New Orleans University (now Dillard University) for two years. Then, after acclaimed poet Langston Hughes recognized her talent and urged her to seek training in the North, she transferred to Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois, where she received a B.A. in English in 1935, at the age of nineteen. In 1937, she published "For My People" in Poetry magazine. Her first poem to appear in print, it became one of her most famous and was even anthologized in 1941 in The Negro Caravan before becoming the opening poem of her first volume of verse in 1942. In 1936, she took on full-time work with the Federal Writers' Project in Chicago under Franklin D. Roosevelt's Works Project Administration, befriending and collaborating with such noted artists as Gwendolyn Brooks, Katherine Dunham, and Frank Yerby. Perhaps the most memorable of these friendships with fellow artists was that with noted author Richard Wright, whose texts Walker would later help research and revise. In 1988, Walker would also write a book recalling that friendship, entitled Richard Wright, Daemonic Genius: A Portrait of the Man, a Critical Look at His Work

In the last two hundred years, black writers have contributed some of the most spirited and important works to American literature. These range from early narratives depicting slavery to modern works dealing with the lingering effects of slavery, racism and apartheid . In fact, some of the most risky work these days is being written not only by African Americans, but Americans of Dominican, Jamaican, and Haitian descent.
