Beads on a String-America's Racially Intertwined Biographical History
"If you enjoy reading good genuine history, which is all about people, this is the most innovative and intriguingly honest perception yet, of America's roots and growth. Ey, An amazing work - very labor intensive - and worthy of a PhD (in my humble opinion, but what do I know). Your index is just as intense as the text, for God's sake! Finished your book, "Beads On a String!" Perfect for home-schooling; very complete, heartwarming and winning material" Kathy Brown
"Ey Wade has written a unique and important book that put all racial History under one umbrella. Wade has done a tremendous job collecting information on all races, and all subjects related to them. "Beads on a String" is a piece of History that was missing until this book came out. I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to understand more about how multiple cultures shaped the US to what it is today. Two thumbs up! " Lola

Dr. Joseph Lowery former
president of Southern Christian Leadership conference delivers the
benediction as Barack Obama takes the oath as the 44th President of the
United States of America.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure….”
“Salvation for a race, nation or class must come from within. Freedom is never given; it is won.”
The Purpose of This Book
As a
homeschooling parent it came across the mind of my youngest daughter to ask
about a history book which talks about all the races within its bounded pages.
She is a born optimist and hates the way we as adults seem to enjoy racial
profiling. I as the mother and her instructor in life wanted to give her what
she wanted, but I could find none. So, as a home-school project we decided to
write our own, Beads on a String-America’s Racially Intertwined Biographical
History.
America
has had great contributors within every century working hard together and yet
each race would like to pull out their certain pages and categorize them into
their own history book. And we truly believe if someone has a problem with our
choice they would have to deal with it or well, get over it. Our main focus
is to try and eliminate the division of a great nation by a single line, the
hyphenation.
America
as a nation has many problems and yet what other country in the world can
attest to the fact that people or dying to be here? There is a dream in their
heart to be a part of this great nation and to live in the land of good and
plenty as a member of one body. So why do we keep the line of separation as a
constant reminder? The hyphenation, a line that separates all races and the
word American.
Beads on a String- America’s Racially Intertwined Biographical
History chooses not to be about a certain color, but about a certain
nation, America.
It is
time for America to let go of the past and heal itself. The grieving
period should have been over and the healing started. But every year, old
wounds are torn open by the words Black History Month. Why don't we teach the
children about America's History with everyone included? To me it seems as if
only a few Black people are pulled out of the closet, dusted off the shelves
and paraded in front of America as if to say, 'this one wasn't worthless', this
one wasn't stupid'. Why is the ‘black’ in capital letters? Is it to point
out a person of color has a brain or is it to pronounce to the world we have
pride? If there is so much pride in America for Native, African, Chinese,
Japanese, Indian, Iranian-Americans and other 'hyphened Americans, drop the
hyphen and pull together and teach our children that every bead has a purpose
and should be celebrated.
