    Many people see the words “Civil Rights Movement” and automatically think of the bus boycott, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Ku Klux Klan. However, the movement was much more than that.

McGuire, the author shows us some of what was happening in the lesser known parts of the movement focusing on how sexual violence against both women and men played a big part in the Civil Rights Movement. The book starts at nearly the beginning of the movement (1940s) and spans throughout the whole movement, seeming to mainly focus on the rape case of one Recy Taylor in 1944, as the book begins and ends with the story of Mrs. Taylor.…

    Explosive Child Chapter Summary

    Reading The Explosive Child by Ross W. Greene and Superparenting for ADD by Edward M. Hallowell and Peter S.

Children do not enjoy the struggles, arguments, and other negative consequences of their maladaptive behavior any more than the parents and teachers do.…
