The life of Howard Johnson, nicknamed “Stretch” because of his height (6'5"), epitomizes the cultural and political odyssey of a generation of African Americans who transformed the United States from a closed society to a multiracial democracy. Johnson’s long-awaited memoir traces his path from firstborn of a multiclass/multiethnic” family in New Jersey to dancer in Harlem’s Cotton Club to communist youth leader and, later, professor of Black studies. A Dancer in the Revolution is a powerful statement about Black resilience and triumph amid subtle and explicit racism in the United States. Johnson’s engaging, beautifully written memoir provides a window into everyday life in Harlem—neighborhood life, arts and culture, and politics—from the 1930s to the 1970s, when the contemporary Black community was being formed. A Dancer in the Revolution explores Johnson’s twenty-plus years in the Communist Party and illuminates in compelling detail how the Harlem branch functioned and flourished in the 1930s and ’40s. Johnson thrived as a charismatic leader, using the connections he built up as an athlete and dancer to create alliances between communist organizations and a cross-section of the Black community. In his memoir, Johnson also exposes the homoerotic tourism that was a feature of Harlem’s nightlife in the 1930s. Some of America’s leading white literary, musical, and artistic figures were attracted to Harlem not only for the community’s artistic creativity but to engage in illicit sex—gay and straight—with their Black counterparts. A Dancer in the Revolution is an invaluable contribution to the literature on Black political thought and pragmatism. It reveals the unique place that Black dancers and artists hold in civil rights pursuits and anti-racism campaigns in the United States and beyond. Moreover, the life of “Stretch” Johnson illustrates how political activism engenders not only social change but also personal fulfillment, a realization of dreams not deferred but rather pursued and achieved. Johnson’s journey bears witness to critical periods and events that shaped the Black condition and American society in the process.

I will give you a powerful framework to follow and I will be there way beyond the pages of this book, supporting you and cheering you on."

Carolyn brings hope to a situation many families, educators, and health care providers struggle with today." - Renee Prymus, MFA, RYT, MMin, Adjunct Faculty at the University of Pittsburgh.

He was too tired to think. He just sat, arms folded, head down. The door behind him opened with a creak. Warm air spilled out wrapping him in a hug. Two well-dressed men ambled down the steps. ?That stupid waitress put mayonnaise on my roast beef sandwich. I wanted mustard. Now it's ruined.? ?Come on, Harry, don't be so fussy. Just eat it.? ?I?m not eating mayonnaise. I?ll get my secretary to run out and buy another when I get back to the office.? The businessman dropped the sandwich in a trashcan not three feet away from Jack. - Jack and Leah orphaned and on the streets of New York face starvation. In desperation, they cry out to God. He miraculously provides food, friends and a new life.
