Description

Black IceIn 1972 Lorene Cary, a bright, ambitious black teenager from Philadelphia, was transplanted into the formerly all white, all male environs of the elite St. Paul's School in New Hampshire, where she became a scholarship student in a "boot camp" for future American leaders. Like any good student, she was determined to succeed. But Cary was also determined to succeed without selling out. This wonderfully frank and perceptive memoir describes the perils

In 1972 Lorene Cary, a bright, ambitious black teenager from Philadelphia, was transplanted into the formerly all-white, all-male environs of the elite St. Paul's School in New Hampshire, where she became a scholarship student in a "boot camp" for future American leaders. Like any good student, she was determined to succeed. But Cary was also determined to succeed without selling out. This wonderfully frank and perceptive memoir describes the perils and ambiguities of that double role, in which failing calculus and winning a student election could both be interpreted as betrayals of one's skin. Black Ice is also a universally recognizable document of a woman's adolescence; it is, as Houston Baker says, "a journey into selfhood that resonates with sober reflection, intellignet passion, and joyous love."

Beautiful but Straps don't stay up
Size: 7, Color: Pink
The shoe is gorgeous and it's a great concept. But the straps will keep coming down and gathering around your ankle. My daughter hated them.

Perfect
Size: 9, Color: Black
These are my second pair of heels from Allegra K, I originally got the nude pair, and after wearing those all night I had to buy a black pair! I don’t use heels so these were comfortable enough to last me all night while still looking nice instead of using flats!
