Bibbs' Award-winning half hour documentary: THE LEGACY OF MARY
ELLEN PLEASANT (27min)
This fast-paced half hour won a silver
TELLY Award -- the highest one at the time-- It was reissued in 2019.
Perfect for an in-school intro to Pleasant, it contains re-enactments and
portions of the longer documentary and Bibbs' chautauqua, but focuses
primarily on commentary by California scholars and Pleasant's most
important civil-rights achievement-- a court battle in the CA State
Supreme Court that changed modern-day civil-rights law. It takes a
quick look at Pleasant's early life and other civil-rights accomplishments
too. -great intro to Pleasant.

HERITAGE
OF POWER ($24.95,
plus S/H)
The
6x9 sized Enhanced Edition of Heritage of Power is here!!!
Don't
settle for an older version!!
This
is the first book to document Pleasant's civil-rights acheivements;
it is a biography and a social history in one -- The book tells Pleasant's
story using the latest research and explains how a unique religious
heritage and a model for social change given by her early mentor,
voodoo queen Marie LaVeaux, helped her earn the title, "Mother
of Civil Rights in California." Forget the fiction, the old "Mammy"
books and what you've read about "Mammy Pleasant," and learn
the real story. It's no less exciting, but much more respectful or
a very daring person. The
book also demystifies the life of LaVeaux and her faith, Vodou, nowthe
national religion of Haiti.
The 2012
Enhanced Edition (6x9 size) is
