In 1942 Alice Allison Dunnigan, a sharecropper's daughter from Kentucky, made her way to the nation's capital and a career in journalism that eventually led her to the White House. With Alone atop the Hill, Carol McCabe Booker has condensed Dunnigan's 1974 self-published autobiography to appeal to a general audience and has added scholarly annotations that provide historical context. Dunnigan's dynamic story reveals her importance to the fields of journalism, women's history, and the civil rights movement and creates a compelling portrait of a groundbreaking American.
Dunnigan recounts her formative years in rural Kentucky as she struggled for a living, telling bluntly and simply what life was like in a Border State in the first half of the twentieth century. Later she takes readers to Washington, D.C., where we see her rise from a typist during World War II to a reporter. Ultimately she would become the first black female reporter accredited to the White House; authorized to travel with a U.S. president; credentialed by the House and Senate Press Galleries; accredited to the Department of State and the Supreme Court; voted into the White House Newswomen's Association and the Women's National Press Club; and recognized as a Washington sports reporter. A contemporary of Helen Thomas and a forerunner of Ethel Payne, Dunnigan traveled with President Truman on his coast-to-coast, whistle-stop tour; was the first reporter to query President Eisenhower about civil rights; and provided front-page coverage for more than one hundred black newspapers of virtually every race issue before the Congress, the federal courts, and the presidential administration. Here she provides an uninhibited, unembellished, and unvarnished look at the terrain, the players, and the politics in a roughand- tumble national capital struggling to make its way through a nascent, postwar racial revolution.Binding Type: Paperback

Taste of summer
Flavor Name: Coconut, Size: 25.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is so coconutty and perfect! We keep this in the house to spice up our sprites, or even add to mixed adult beverages. It is sweet - but it is supposed to be.

⭐ DaVinci Gourmet Classic White Chocolate Syrup Review
Flavor Name: White Chocolate, Size: 25.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The DaVinci Gourmet Classic White Chocolate Syrup is a must‑have if you love café‑style drinks at home. It delivers that rich, creamy white‑chocolate flavor without being overly sweet, and it blends beautifully into both hot and cold beverages. Whether you’re upgrading your morning latte or adding a touch of sweetness to desserts, this syrup is incredibly versatile and delicious.
🍫 Why This Syrup Stands Out
Smooth white‑chocolate flavor: Creamy, mellow, and perfectly balanced — not artificial or overly sugary.
Great for hot & iced drinks: Mixes easily into lattes, iced coffees, frappes, hot chocolate, and even milkshakes.
Barista‑quality texture: Silky and consistent, making it easy to drizzle, blend, or layer.
Large 25.4 oz bottle: Plenty of syrup for daily use, entertaining, or experimenting with new recipes.
Versatile beyond drinks: Works beautifully in baking, frosting, oatmeal, and dessert toppings.
☕ Perfect For
Homemade lattes and cappuccinos
Iced coffees and cold brews
White‑chocolate mochas
Dessert drizzling
Smoothies and milkshakes
Holiday drinks and creative recipes
It adds that cozy café sweetness without overpowering the drink.
🔍 Things to Keep in Mind
Because it’s a classic syrup (not a sauce), the flavor is lighter and more mixable — great for drinks, but those wanting a thick drizzle may prefer a white‑chocolate sauce.
A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
⭐ Final Thoughts
The DaVinci Gourmet Classic White Chocolate Syrup is a creamy, smooth, and incredibly versatile addition to any coffee or dessert routine. It elevates homemade drinks with a professional touch and adds just the right amount of sweetness. If you love white‑chocolate‑flavored coffees or want a reliable syrup for everyday use, this bottle is an excellent choice.

✪ DaVinci | Gourmet Classic Vanilla Syrup: Great Flavor, Uses Cane Sugar, Great Price...
Flavor Name: Vanilla, Size: 25.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
✪ DaVinci | Gourmet Classic Vanilla Syrup, 25.4 fl. oz. (Pack of 1)
_____________________________________________________________________>
♦♦ Vanilla Syrup:
● I wanted to reduce the amount of flavored coffee creamer
that I normally use, so I thought I would give DaVinci syrups
a try. This was the first time that I tried and used the DaVinci
brand.
♦♦ Coffee Time:
● I used about half of the coffee creamer that I typically use
and I added a teaspoon or two of DaVinci syrup to my morning
coffee. I gave it a good stir, then took a few sips and there was
plenty of flavor for my liking and it seemed to have a rounder
and had more of a vanilla like taste when comparing it to the
vanilla flavored coffee creamer that I normally use, I definitely
enjoyed the result.
♦♦ Great for Other Uses:
● I also tried this syrup with other drinks such as soft drinks,
cola, orange and root-beer, and a smoothie. All of them of
them were very good, indeed. Give it a try.
● I also added some to plain yogurt and some other foods and
they all tasted really good as well.
♦♦ Ingredients:
Cane Sugar, Water, Natural Vanilla Extract with Other Natural
Flavor, Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate (preservatives),
Citric Acid, Caramel Color.
✪ Pricing: $6.88 / 25.4 fl. oz.
● A very affordable price for it's size, especially when compared
to other brands that I've had before.
✪ SCORE: 5 Stars > ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
♦ ✪ ♦ Over-All:
● I most definitely liked the results that I got when using DaVinci
flavored syrup with my coffee, soft drinks (soda) and even food.
As affordable as it is I would recommend checking it out and see
what you can come up with. I would buy it again.

Comparing to the coffee giant version
Flavor Name: Brown Sugar, Size: 25.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Brown Sugar, Size: 25.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Starbucks comparison (from a personal standpoint): I’m fortunate enough to have a bottle of Starbucks Brown Sugar. Problem is, I’m almost out. Looking around at some alternative options, and reading the reviews- I see some saying this is a good substitute. Because I happen to have the syrup on hand, I figured I should see if it is, because it would be great given the low cost of DaVinci syrup. This picture I’m attaching is just to see the color difference.
Consistency wise, the DaVinci syrup is much lighter, more runny. The Starbucks is definitely a thicker liquid, that runs much slower.
Flavor is the big one: DaVinci is lighter on taste, and sweeter. The best way to describe the flavor is comparing DaVinci’s to 100% real maple syrup that’s been diluted down with water. It’s good, but not really similar (in my opinion) to Starbucks Brown Sugar. Starbucks is more smokey in flavor, more strong/bold.
My drinks are made using espresso, oak milk, cinnamon powder, and ice. I made my drink the same way, but used DaVinci Syrup this time. I found that the same amount of syrup that I use for the Starbucks, didn’t feel like it had a strong enough flavor. What did I do? I added an extra ounce of DaVinci hoping to get a stronger flavor. The problem is, DaVinci is more sweet than the Starbucks syrup (in my opinion) and ended up making my drink taste too sweet. It’s sweet enough that I’m not going to finish drinking it.
I’m not knocking the DaVinci syrup itself. I think it’s a good brand and a good flavor. It’s just not the flavor I was hoping would solve my issue for a Starbucks imitation. I would encourage anyone to still try this syrup, but do so to enjoy it for being its own flavor.

Tastes Like Banana Pudding and Dunkin Banana Flavor!
Flavor Name: Banana Bread, Size: 25.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I don't know why someone would buy this expecting it to taste like real bananas like come on ppl lol. The only way to attain a syrup that tastes like real banana bread is to make it at home. This is an artificially flavored syrup so obviously it tastes that way! I have made banana bread syrup (more like a sauce) at home and it is delicious, highly recommend!! But this is way more shelf stable and tastes amazing in an iced latte as well! Different than home made but still good. To me this tastes like banana pudding mix which also has a fake banana taste. It also tastes EXACTLY like the new Dunkin banana flavored syrup which is what I was looking for! I use 1.5 tbsp syrup, a little vanilla paste, 2 espresso shots and 2 percent milk with plenty of ice. I like keeping my latte calories below 200 and not super sweet tho so you can up it to 2 tbsp. The cals in this are not terrible, 70 cals for 2 tablespoons. Usually my syrups have 50-60 cals for only 1 tbsp so I'm pleasantly surprised this is a little lower. I bought a second bottle because I'm afraid this is a limited release lol.
