"Eva Beatrice Dykes!" Hearing her name, she lifted her head and walked briskly to the center of the stage. Polite applause could not hide the spontaneous murmur that spread throughout the all-white audience. "Isn't that a colored girl?" Those in the back rows stretched their necks to see, while those in the front stared in unbelief. But all whispered the same question. "Isn't that a colored girl?" Undaunted, she took the diploma and pumped the outstretched hand. She was the first black American woman to have completed the requirements for the Ph.D. degree. Soon she would begin a career of service to the black community and end up at Oakwood College, in Huntsville, Alabama. One of the most beloved black Adventist teachers and musicians, she contributed an inspiring life of selfless devotion and service and triumph over prejudice. DeWitt S. Williams was a former student under Dr. Dykes and wrote this book out of admiration for her Christian character and service. Dr. Williams served as the associate director of health for the Health/Temperance Department at the General Conference from 1983 until 1990, and then as director of health for the North American Division from 1990 until he retired in 2010 after forty-six years of service to the Adventist Church. He has lectured in more than 100 countries and served as a missionary to Africa. This, the third printing, has an added illustrated epilogue for young people written by Laurie Lyon which first appeared in Guide magazine in August, 2009. This easy-to-read section can act as a review for those who have read the story before or be a wonderful introduction to the inspiring story of Dr. Eva B. Dykes.

Can Auna find the faith and the courage to hold on to her dreams and to see them as God's guidance? The story of a girl's love for horses and her love for God; she struggles to hold onto God's promises for her life. This is an adventure in faith, hope and love. Auna's love for a horse drives her to face death. Her faith in God must see her through when her whole world collapses. Hope is all that those who love her have to fall back on when death seems imminent. Faith that God's will and timing is of utmost importance, hope that God will see them through the most difficult times and love, as God loves, for all those around them keeps them dependent on God's plan and timing. Lives are changed, love is resurrected and hope is renewed as God leads them through each day. Born in Dothan, Alabama, May 9, 1958, the daughter and forth child of James A. Carpenter, Jr. and Elmina Jane Haselton Carpenter, Lila Windus grew up with a love for animals, particularly horses. She gave her heart to Christ at the age of nine and was baptized in Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church in Dale County Alabama. She acquired her horse and long time friend, Apache, November 2, 1974. She graduated from Auburn University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1983. Married to Peter John Windus October 6, 1984, they have two children, daughters; Charlotte, the oldest and a photographer and Danielle, the youngest who is studying to be an animation artist and write Christian Manga books. She owns and operates Currahee Veterinary Clinic in Toccoa, Georgia; which she opened July 13, 1987. They are members of Glad Tidings Assembly of God in Toccoa, Georgia.

Anna J. Cooper, Mary Church Terrell, and Eva B. Dykes shaped the educational landscape in Washington, D.C., in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These three pioneer educators serve as examples to describe the societal circles they were involved in. The many facets of their educational achievements are analyzed in the context of the educational elite of Washington. Cooper, Terrell, and Dykes not only had to live with race discrimination but also with gender discrimination. Unpublished archive material is used to illustrate how they interacted and how they treated each other. Marina Bacher is a scholar, author, and educator.

Combining a fascinating history of the first U.S. high school for African Americans with an unflinching analysis of urban public-school education today, First Class explores an underrepresented and largely unknown aspect of black history while opening a discussion on what it takes to make a public school successful. In 1870, in the wake of the Civil War, citizens of Washington, DC, opened the Preparatory High School for Colored Youth, the first black public high school in the United States; it would later be renamed Dunbar High and would flourish despite Jim Crow laws and segregation. Dunbar attracted an extraordinary faculty: its early principal was the first black graduate of Harvard, and at a time it had seven teachers with PhDs, a medical doctor, and a lawyer. During the school's first 80 years, these teachers would develop generations of highly educated, successful African Americans, and at its height in the 1940s and '50s, Dunbar High School sent 80 percent of its students to college. Today, as in too many failing urban public schools, the majority of Dunbar students are barely proficient in reading and math. Journalist and author Alison Stewart—whose parents were both Dunbar graduates—tells the story of the school's rise, fall, and possible resurgence as it looks to reopen its new, state-of-the-art campus in the fall of 2013.
