The Herndons: An Atlanta FamilyBorn a slave and reared a sharecropper, Alonzo Herndon (1858 1927) was destined to drudgery in the red clay fields of Georgia. Within forty years of Emancipation, however, he had amassed a fortune that far surpassed that of his White slave master father.

Born a slave and reared a sharecropper, Alonzo Herndon (1858-1927) was destined to drudgery in the red clay fields of Georgia. Within forty years of Emancipation, however, he had amassed a fortune that far surpassed that of his White slave-master father.
Through his barbering, real estate, and life insurance ventures, Herndon would become one of the wealthiest and most respected African American business figures of his era. This richly illustrated book chronicles Alonzo Herndon's ascent and his remarkable family's achievements in Jim Crow Atlanta. In this first biography of the Herndons, Carole Merritt narrates how Herndon nurtured the Atlanta Life Insurance Company from a faltering enterprise he bought for $140 into one of the largest Black financial institutions in America; how he acquired the most substantial Black property holdings in Atlanta; and how he developed his barbering business from a one-chair shop into the nation's largest and most elegant parlor, the resplendent, twenty-three chair "Crystal Palace" in the heart of White Atlanta. The Herndons' world was the educational and business elite of Atlanta. But as Blacks, they were intimately bound to the course of Black life. The Atlanta Race Riot of 1906 and its impact on the Herndons demonstrated that all Blacks, regardless of class, were the victims of racial terrorism. Through the Herndons, issues of race, class, and color in turn-of-the-century Atlanta come into sharp focus. Their story is one of by-the-bootstraps resolve, tough compromises in the face of racism, and lasting contributions to their city and nation.Binding Type: Hardcover

Not Dissapointed
This is one of the best books I have read on the anointing of the Holy Spirit, (God on flesh doing what flesh can't do). Brenda has so much good insight in this book, that I will be reading it more than once.

Got it — I’ll write you a strong, natural, insight-rich review
I’ve been using these diapers consistently since my daughterwas born, and after several reorders, I feel confident sharing a detailed review for parents who are trying to decide.
First, what really stands out is how lightweight yet absorbent they are. They don’t feel bulky when my baby is wearing them, which makes a noticeable difference in comfort—especially during longer stretches like naps or overnight use. Despite being light, the absorbency is reliable and holds up well throughout the day.
One feature I truly appreciate is the quality of the inner filling. Unlike some other brands I’ve tried, the padding here does not become lumpy or uneven, even after extended wear. It stays evenly distributed, which not only improves comfort but also helps prevent leaks.
Comfort overall is excellent. The material feels soft against the skin, and I haven’t noticed any irritation or redness. Another big plus for me is that these diapers are completely free of any strong odors or artificial scents. Some brands have a noticeable smell right out of the package, which I personally don’t like—but these are refreshingly neutral.
Fit-wise, they stay in place well and don’t sag easily, even when full. That adds peace of mind, especially when we’re out or during overnight use.
I’ve reordered these multiple times now, which says a lot. They’ve been consistently reliable, comfortable, and well-made. Based on my experience, I would definitely recommend them to other parents looking for a dependable everyday diaper.
Overall, a solid choice that balances comfort, quality, and performance.

Huggies Little Movers Size 4 diapers are excellent for active babies. They fit perfectly for babies between 22–37 lbs and allow great freedom of movement without leaks. The stretchy waistband and snug fit help keep the diaper in place, even when the baby is crawling, walking, or playing.
The absorbency is very reliable, keeping my baby dry both during the day and overnight. They are soft, gentle on the skin, and do not cause irritation. I also appreciate that they handle messes well without leaking.
The value pack with 150 diapers is very convenient and lasts a long time. Even though the packaging may vary, the quality is always consistent. Overall, these diapers are dependable and a great choice for growing, active babies.
Highly recommended
