Slumpmässiga händelser och till synes oviktiga detaljer kan förändra hela världens riktning. Michael Azar funderar över historiens alla möjliga vägar. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Om Kleopatras näsa hade varit en aning kortare, så hade hela världshistorien fått ett annat utseende.Jag vet inte om Blaise Pascal har rätt i detta antagande, men det finns någonting djupt tankeväckande – för att inte säga skräckinjagande – i den vision som den franske 1600-tals-tänkaren ställer oss inför.Tänk om vår historia, om var och ens individuella existens, ytterst hänger på sådana små detaljer, på sådana till synes meningslösa tillfälligheter. Vi tror att vi kan påverka historien, vi försöker med vetenskapens hjälp tränga in i de lagar som antas reglera våra liv — och så visar det sig att historiens rörelse i den ena eller den andra riktningen vilar på förförelsekraften i en forntida drottnings framskjutande näsa…Händelserna bakom händelserna – för att låna ett uttryck av Bertolt Brecht – visar sig handla mindre om tvingande orsakskedjor än om synnerligen triviala tilldragelser. Såsom den romerske fältherren Marcus Antonius intensiva förälskelse i Kleopatras anletsdrag, en passion som med tiden inte bara leder dem båda i döden, utan också till rivalen Octavianus upprättande av det romerska kejsardömet.Åtminstone är det så man skulle kunna tolka Pascals fåordiga anmärkning.Eller för att ta ett mer samtida exempel: hösten 1920 råkar kung Alexander av Grekland dö av blodförgiftning efter att ha blivit biten av en av sina apor. Med kungens hastiga dödsfall följer inte bara djup inrikespolitisk turbulens utan också en våldsam förskjutning i den regionala maktbalansen. I en kommentar till händelseförloppet menar Winston Churchill att det inte skulle vara en överdrift att påstå att en enda apas bett härigenom kom att vålla hundratusentals människors död.Utifrån samma perspektiv tycks ibland hela historiens vägval hänga på om en viss kula träffar eller inte träffar sitt mål i ett visst historiskt ögonblick – som till exempel den där ödesdigra dagen i juni 1914 då Gavrilo Princip lyckas skjuta ihjäl den österrikiske ärkehertigen Frantz Ferdinand. Eller den 7 april 1926 då den unga iriska kvinnan – Violet Gibson – tvärtom misslyckas med att träffa Mussolinis huvud och i stället bara rispar hans näsa.”Slumpen är världens bästa romanförfattare”, skriver Honoré de Balzac. Det räcker, förklarar han, med att studera slumpens verkningar för att stimulera den litterära kreativiteten. På ett ställe beskriver Balzac sig rentav som de historiska tillfälligheternas ”sekreterare”, som ett språkrör för det sätt på vilket slumpen genomkorsar det franska samhällets historia och seder.Det är märkliga påståenden med tanke på att samme författare samtidigt hävdar att hans främsta mål är att undersöka ”orsaken eller orsakerna”, det vill säga de underliggande lagar som reglerar det franska 1800-talets sociala verklighet.Balzacs villrådighet utgör i själva verket ett symptom på den tvetydighet som verkar hemsöka all historieskrivning. Ända sedan Herodotos och Thukydides banbrytande verk för närmare 2500 år sedan har historiker försökt navigera mellan dessa båda blickpunkter. Mellan slump och lagbundenhet, mellan det tillfälliga och det nödvändiga, mellan det specifika och det allmänna.Det har visat sig vara en mycket svår balansgång.Å ena sidan behöver historikern utveckla ett sinne för det tillfälliga och det unika i ett historiskt skeende. Men driver man slumpens makt för långt riskerar man att i historien inte se mer än en ”berättelse, berättad av en dåre, full av bråk och vrede och utan betydelse”, för att låna en formulering av Shakespeare.Å andra sidan måste den historiska blicken bortse från tillvarons nycker och tärningskast för att blottlägga de djupgående mönster, maktkamper och lagbundenheter som verkar i det fördolda. Men driver man denna linje alltför långt riskerar man istället att reducera allt som händer till ett utslag av en enda styrande princip. Det må sedan vara den gudomliga försynen, den dialektiska materialismen eller den liberala demokratins omutliga framåtskridande.Så fort man renodlar ett av perspektiven slår det andra tillbaka. Till och med Karl Marx som i sina mest optimistiska stunder tror sig ha blottlagt de principer som styr historien måste i sina konkreta analyser erkänna de små tillfälligheternas betydelse. Några decennier efter Balzacs död förklarar Marx att de omvälvande händelserna under Pariskommunen bör förstås utifrån det kapitalistiska produktionssättets oförlösta motsättningar – men tillägger sedan ändå att den faktiska utvecklingen även påverkas av tusen andra ting, såsom karaktären på de specifika gestalter som leder revolten.Historien, säger Marx, skulle ha ”en mycket besynnerlig karaktär om det inte fanns plats för slump i den”.För att återigen ta en kulas tursamma eller otursamma bana som exempel: Frankrikes och Europas postrevolutionära historia hade troligen sett väldigt annorlunda ut om Napoleon redan år 1796 hade fallit offer för någon av alla de kulor som ven omkring honom under slaget vid Arcola. Ja, visst. Historien skulle säkerligen snabbt ha tvingat fram en annan ledare för Frankrike, men det är långt ifrån säkert att denne skulle ha agerat efter samma mönster och mål som den makthungrige revolutionsgeneralen från Korsika.En mer jordnära analogi kanske kan illustrera saken. Den som vill analysera en bestämd historisk fotbollsmatch gör bäst i att både ha ett öga för de traditioner, principer och regler som gäller inom fotbollen i vidaste mening – och ett vaksamt sinne för den unika karaktären på just de spelare som under den givna dagen står mot varandra. Matchen mellan Sverige och England den 14 november 2012 skulle med stor sannolikhet inte ha fått samma resultat om det inte vore för general Ibrahimovics fyra legendariska mål…Med stor sannolikhet, säger jag. Till historieskrivningens problem hör förvisso att det inte finns någon given metod för att jämföra det som faktiskt har hänt, eller inte hänt, med det som skulle kunna ha hänt. Redan Aristoteles gjorde oss uppmärksamma på detta problem och föreslog därför ett slags arbetsfördelning mellan historikern – som har att begränsa sig till händelser som faktiskt har hänt – och diktaren som i stället bör försöka teckna ”allt det som skulle kunna” hända i människornas värld.Medan den ene sålunda kan säga något om den faktiska storleken på Kleopatras näsa, kan den senare också resonera om de sätt på vilket en näsas form kan väcka de mest våldsamma kärlekspassioner till liv och därigenom – för att återigen citera Pascal – ”bringa härskare, arméer och hela världen ur jämvikt”.Eller rentav skriva en berättelse om hur historien skulle ha artat sig om kung Alexander inte blivit biten av sin apa, om Franz Ferdinand inte gått i graven 1914 – eller om kulan som avlossades mot Donald Trump den 13 juli 2024 hade träffat några centimeter närmare hans näsa.

Anastasia Kristensen's greatest gift is to weave an electrifying sonic thread through her DJ Sets. She gathers sounds from a vast array of styles, enthusiastically researches off-grid electronics and blends them together through an adventurous, if not infectious, mixing technique. Dance oriented Avantgarde - that is exactly her edge. Her BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix turned so many heads that it got nominated for the Best Essential Mix of 2022 and is a testament to her ability to select and synthesize.
To become the selector that she is today, Anastasia embraced non - conformity and fortitude throughout her life. Non - conformity, that means a musical curiosity that explores the less conventional places in electronic music, but it also means continuously aiming for her audience to let go on the dancefloor. At present she hosts regular all-nighters at Den Anden Side, a new underground venue in her hometown Copenhagen and holds a residency at Mainstream, the city's most reputable LGBTQ party. Both platforms stand for her versatility and community orientation and are key contributors to her experience of playing foggy high quality basements and festival stages dexterously and with devotion. I's a rare quality to perform with such an ease in these divergent ambiances. Even more so, to provide such an engaging variety of sounds there and to captivate the audiences in an instant. Whoever attends one of Kristensen's kaleidoscopic sets should be ready to get lost and experience the unpredictable. Having played the experimental UNSOUND Festival, and clubs like FOLD, BLITZ and Elysia in Basel, the Danish DJ convinced many knowledgeable crowds and gained praise for it. This is no different for her rare live performances - like the opening of the CTM Festival in 2018. To care for a community and to further build it up is of significant importance for the artist. Her 2020 efforts to curate the compilation “Rewire and Acquire” and bring 18 producers together in service of the organization “Equality Now”, show that she walks the talk intrepidly.
Being a producer, too, the energy of dance - oriented Avantgarde is detectable in her releases and remixes. Following the debut “Maxima” (2019) on the cutting edge outlet Houndstooth, the EP “Ascetic” on Warps sub- label Arcola exhibits a futuristic genre blend between electro, IDM and spooky techno. Houndstooth is also the home for her latest release “Volshebno” that captures mesmerizing dancefloor moments. Fittingly, “Volshebno” stands for “magic” in Anastasia's mother tongue, Russian. 2023 will be a continuation of her mission to represent musical curiosity and community, as Anastasia will host listening sessions in Copenhagen. Community Members will showcase music they love and tell the connected stories around them. Besides that, she will hold a residency at the highly reputable NTS Radio. By embodying authentic, tasteful curation and selection, by connecting individuals in communities they feel belonging to, Anastasia Kristensen will no doubt further transcend her inspiring artistic footprint into the electronic realm.

In our latest episode, acclaimed poet, playwright and librettist Glyn Maxwell talks about the poem that has been a friend to him: 'Acquainted with the Night' by Robert Frost. Glyn is in conversation with Fiona Bennett and Michael Shaeffer. Glyn Maxwell's volumes of poetry include The Breakage, Hide Now, Pluto, and How The Hell Are You, all of which were shortlisted for either the Forward or T. S. Eliot Prizes, and The Nerve, which won the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize. On Poetry, a guidebook for the general reader, was published by Oberon in 2012. The Spectator called it ‘a modern classic' and The Guardian's Adam Newey described it as ‘the best book about poetry I've ever read.' Drinks With Dead Poets, which is both an expansion of On Poetry and a novel in itself, was published by Oberon in September 2016. Many of Maxwell's plays have been staged in London and New York, including Liberty at Shakespeare's Globe, and at the Almeida, Arcola, RADA and Southwark Playhouse. ********* Acquainted with the Night By Robert Frost I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain—and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye; And further still at an unearthly height, One luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night. Robert Frost, "Acquainted with the Night" from The Poetry of Robert Frost, edited by Edward Connery Lathem.

Which for anyone who has produced their own work and thought “I cant do anything with this until festival have finished” THINK AGAIN. It was really interesting to hear his thoughts on how to get in front of the right people. We also talk about how he has been approached directly by an agent in the USA, pretty unexpectedly and what that now means for him and his family.

For the first time since it was initially displayed in Hyde Park in 1994, the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt was unfolded in its entirety in July 2021. It features hundreds of hand-stitched, glue-gunned and collaged memorial panels. Each is the size of a grave plot, powerfully naming a generation of loved ones lost during the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 80s and 90s. The Quilt, with all its colours, materials and immense care and detail, is a heart-breaking monument of love for those departed, as well as a protest against the institutional failures of the period and the stigma surrounding HIV that still remains. Colliding past and present, ‘Quilts of Love' features interviews with Barton Friedland, Project Coordinator of the 1994 display, and the staff of The Food Chain, a frontline HIV charity that recently spearheaded the 2021 exhibition. The work pays homage to this stunning piece of visual and community art, but also the tireless work of the people who have made sure the stories behind the Quilts are preserved and the names it commemorates are never forgotten.

Anastasia Kristensen has been offering a new definition of techno for the last five years. When she plays, she plays from the heart, with unbridled energy and a rare sense of colour. She can bang out brutal beats then pivot in an instant to hi-NRG synth riffs. She'll mash up old school breaks and bleeps then rave to the future on a wave of electro. Her productions are just as impactful on labels like Houndstooth and Arcola. Yet despite the seriousness of her skills and the intensity of her sounds, she always plays with a smile. The Danish DJ pulls no punches on this week's mix. It seems to encapsulate her every side - peak time festival rave as well as more nuanced back room selections. What unites it all are the drums, which can always be felt as much as they can be heard. Sometimes they bounce under a sparse synth line. Midway through they are raw, flat-footed, unrelenting. Towards the end, they unravel into a flurry of jungle breakbeats. It's not easy to play such high-energy music but keep things dynamic, yet Anastasia does it with style.

Ranchers care about the animals they raise. That is why when it's -50 with the windchill - they are on high alert watching out for those newborn calves. Sometimes it means going to any lengths to get them warmed up quickly so they can be returned to their mothers. One rancher in southern Saskatchewan had several calves born on a very cold day. Those three newborn calves spent some time on a bathroom floor in the home of Chris Lees at Arcola, Saskatchewan. Chris will tell us about the busy start to calving season on his farm. Nearly all forestry biomass pellets are shipped to the European Union, which wants environmentally friendly energy solutions that reduce the need to import oil and natural gas. Work at the University of Saskatchewan is exploring turning canola and oat hulls --along with canola meal into a better biomass pellet.

In this episode, I will be talking about the Conundrum, which is a play by Paul Anthony Morris, which gives us a unique insight into the incredible mind of a man trapped in a society that has not yet evolved. Having resolved to conduct a personal life review to critique the inequality of society, our protagonist, Fidel, becomes alarmed by the prospect that he may also be responsible for undermining his own well-being. Perplexed by this conundrum, Fidel embarks upon an epic journey to wrestle with some of life’s most fundamental questions; Who am I and why am I here? Anthony Ofoegbu - Artistic Director Anthony Ofoegbu started performing in 1981 and in 1988 co-founded Four’s Company Dance Theatre with choreographer and dramatist, Christine Cubberley. Between 1991-1998 he was Resident Collaborator and Artist for Bayie Busuofo Mas Band, for the annual Notting Hill Carnival. From 1995 Anthony worked with Nigerian Nobel Laureate and playwright, Professor Wole Soyinka, on The Beatification Of Area Boy, Oyedipo (an adaptation of Oedipus At Colonus) and Death And The King's Horseman, which toured Australia, America, Africa, and Europe. In 2001 Nàwáo Produktions, Zurich, appointed him to be head of casting for King Baabu which toured Nigeria, Switzerland, and Germany. In 2015 Anthony became Company Director for Crying in the Wilderness Productions, an associate theatre company of the Young Vic Theatre. Anthony joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2017/18 for their Rome Season and performed as Julius Caesar and Titus Andronicus. He was also in Antony and Cleopatra. Anthony went on to perform as James in Annie Baker’s, Circle Transformation, at Manchester’s Home Theatre, UK, before embarking on an extensive US tour of Barbershop Chronicles that premiered at the UK’s National Theatre in which he played Emmanuel. The pandemic put closure on Anthony’s starring debut of Fidel in Conundrum at the prestigious Young Vic Theatre in London last March. Providence intervened and a special version of Conundrum was filmed and screened live online last august in London. This filmed production was later included in the Rijeka, the European Capital City of Culture Festival in November and December 2020 which ran for two weeks. Anthony has been a keen photographer for over 30 years. Highlights include the OffWestEnd Offie Awards Ceremony. He also designed and produced their award trophies. Paul Anthony Morris - Artistic Director Artistic Director, Paul Anthony Morris, trained at Barbara Speake Stage School and went on to work as an actor in theatre for many years. In 2006 Paul founded Crying in the Wilderness Productions. In 2006 his epic play ‘THE SEER’ was produced into a short documentary film in collaboration with West Yorkshire Playhouse. In 2007 Paul directed ‘35 CENTS’ at the Blue Elephant Theatre and ‘CHOICES’ for the CIA Theatre Company. In 2008 Paul won ‘The Adopt A Playwright Award’ for his play ‘IDENTITY’ and went on to complete three separate commissions from the Half Moon Young People’s Theatre. In 2008 and 2009 Paul worked as a film coordinator for STORY MAKERS TV which was screened at the BEAUTIFUL SOUTH FILM FESTIVAL at the British Film Institute. In the autumn of 2009, Paul directed ‘THE MEETING’ at the Warehouse Theatre. In 2010 Paul was commissioned by Fostering Network to write ‘CLICK’ and he directed ‘SHINNING MYRIAD’ at the Rosemary Branch Theatre. In 2011 Paul directed the ‘INVISIBLE MAN’ at the Decibel Performance Arts Showcase in Manchester.

Anthony Hart doesn't f*ck about, for many years he has worked tirelessly producing music under various namesakes, perhaps most prominently as Basic Rhythm where he released music on the likes of Sneaker Social Club, Arcola and Planet Mu. It is Planet Mu with whom he holds a close relationship, the record label has been pivotal in the development of British electronic music, meandering between the origins of rave and soundsystem culture through to the present modernisms of grime, footwork and beyond. East Man is a relatively new moniker for Anthony, he began to release music under the guise in 2018, using the new alias to collaborate with MC's and work amidst London's ever growing grime scene - all the while drawing upon influences from dancehall, jungle and techno. He is politically outspoken and deeply rooted in the communities which help breathe life and inspiration into this musical scene. He knows about the importance and value in speaking the truth and his music lends itself to storytelling and the opportunity to challenge societal pressures and norms. This year he released a new album on Planet Mu, "Prole Art Threat", a record which perhaps represents his sound and voice best.

During these difficult times, Igor Golovach & Alessandro Scalora decided to take the time to unite people from all over the world of the beauty DanceSport industry. Instructors, choreographers, and dancers alike joined us to share their thoughts on staying strong and positive during this worldwide epidemic, sharing their advice on fighting on and not losing hope, sending their messages of support and aspiration. Thus, the project of "Stay United" was formed. This video features Giacomo Steccaglia! Giacomo is a former 4-time Italian Professional Latin Champion as well as a finalist of the Professional Latin European and World Championships with partner and wife Melissa Dexter. Now the DanceSport VP of USA Dance (the United States member of WDSF), Giacomo also owns his own dance studio located in Carlsbad, CA - Dancessense Studios. Giacomo Steccaglia was raised in the small Northern Italian town of Arcola, which was calculated to have a population of about 100. The young boy excelled at sports including soccer, track & field, and swimming. At age 14, however, he chose to pursue dancing. Three months later, Giacomo won the first of his 5 National Amateur Championships and went on to represent Italy at both the European and World Championships. As a young competitor, Giacomo was the Italian Junior Latin and Ballroom Champion, the Italian Youth Latin and Ballroom Champion, and the Italian Open Amateur Latin Champion. Attending the Blackpool Dance Festival, Giacomo was “mesmerized by a gorgeous girl in white from America, wishing with all his heart to dance with somebody like her." That beautiful talent was the one and only Melissa Dexter. After marrying Melissa, Giacomo turned Professional, and together, the newlywed couple won four Italian Professional Championships, became the Italian Showdance Latin Champions, the 2-time Vice South American Showdance Champions, as well as Imperial, All England, and Universal Champions. Giacomo and Melissa also placed second in the "World Professional Masters Championship" and were finalists in the European and World Latin American Dance Championships. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ScaloraDanceSport/support

Is It Rolling, Bob? Talking Dylan

Professor and playwright Dan Rebellato sets out his stall by praising Dylan’s simplicity, his humour and his relationship to the spiritual world. “I was raised on Bob Dylan. The album John Wesley Harding gave me nightmares but I love it for its religion – it’s exactly as Christian as I like my Bob.” If you don’t know John Wesley Harding, this episode is your way in. If you do know it, Dan will take you deeper. “Suddenly, he becomes a storytelling songwriter. He’s no longer mocking the conventions of storytelling. There’s something epic and foreboding about these stories, something deeply fearful and puzzling about this record.” Dan Rebellato is Professor of Contemporary Theatre at Royal Holloway, University of London. He has written over twenty plays for BBC radio and another sixteen for the stage, performed at the Edinburgh Assembly Rooms, Theatre 503, the Arcola and the National Theatre. His radio work has been nominated twice for Sony Awards. Dan writes regularly for The Guardian Theatre Blog.

Borders/Games is the new double bill from playwright Henry Naylor, currently playing at London’s Arcola theatre. Borders, he explains, is “the story of the 21st century in 70 minutes – 9/11, bombs, Bono and Bin Laden”. While Games, set in Berlin, 1936, is about “Europe fracturing, antisemitism rising and right-wing populism surging”. Judi Herman, an old friend of Naylor’s from the days when both of them contributed to BBC Radio 4’s topical comedy show Week Ending, caught up with him to discuss his move from comedy to drama.

Peacemakers Matthew 5:1-11 A sermon preached by Rev. Ben Roberts at Foundry United Methodist Church, Sunday, August 12, 2018   N-A-T-S, NATS, NATS, NATS, WOOOOOOO! A run is scored, the people sitting in (formerly Gwenda Martin’s Section) and around Larry Slagle's section extend their arms holding hat in hand, with the top of the hat pointed downward. They begin to chant; N-a-t-s, then what? NATS, NATS, NATS WOOOOO. What if someone new was near by? They have question; you explain it to them, this is what we do when a run is scored. For each run we do this. N-A-T-S, NATS, NATS, NATS, WOOOOOOO! A run is scored, someone else joins in, N-a-t-s, NATS, NATS, NATS,  AHUUUGA! What do you do? You would correct them, hard...it's not ahuuuuga! It's woo, pronounced WOOOOO. What are you doing get with the program? They inquire, what's the difference, it's still jubilation? No, it's woo. Maybe you are a tolerant person, you let it slide...the first two times, but tonight the Nats decide to score 25 for some reason not thinking about spacing the blessed runs out maybe, want to win some other games occasionally? Other games need runs Nats, all games matter!!!! You don't let ahugahhh slide, certainly not 24 of them. You call the usher. “This person is saying ahugaa not woo, they need to go. Get them out of here.” Usher totally gets it being there day in day out, they get rid of this person. Figure out the rules and participate or go. We teach (sometimes), we correct, this is how racismworks...I mean baseball, this is how baseball works. Slipped up there. But you get it, you understand how culture and cultural norms work. We teach we correct. We do it with gusto. We do it as duty. We do it as doing our jobs. We do it because we've been taught too, and whether we believe it or not, we find it important and normal to do so. This is how racism works, this is how racism works too. Rev. Dr. Shively Smith introduced for us a few weeks ago concept of “Sankofa.” She told us about the symbol, the Sankofa bird, with its feet planted forward and its head turned back. The word comes from the Akan people in Ghana. Sankofa is a Twi word meaning to go back and get it. One of the ideas around it being, the future can be planned by learning from the past. It’s important to go back and retrieve what’s at risk of being lost. A week before that Rev. Dr. Serene Jones told us of the power of faith communities to help their people be happier by sharing stories that also include hardship and difficulty. Those stories can make us more resilient. And so, this is what I have for you today. It’s just the sharing of story with the hopes it can help us live forward better together. Rev. Dr. Robert Brewer teacher, friend, and Th.D. in Homiletics, that is the craft of preaching advises this. “Don’t start a sermon with a question, because then the congregation will just be thinking about the question rather than what you’re saying. So, When did you first notice something was wrong with race or racism in the world?   Battlefields and historic sites were our playgrounds for good part of my childhood. From revolutionary war sites, to the many Civil War sites, and the battleship memorial in Wilmington, NC. These were the road trips we would take as a family and it was also our back yard. We would learn history through those places, we would learn the stories of the battels and the wars which occurred in those places. Cortney can tell you that I still enjoy going to those places when take trips. As a child, one of the best things about those places were the gift shops. What kid doesn’t love a gift shop. We would end up with little army men to play with when we got home. These toy soldiers were usually little blue men, and little gray men. The little blue men being the north and the little gray men being the south. We were young when we had these. Somewhere in the range of 4-8 years of age. I was not processing all that the blue and gray meant. History of the civil war and the history of the state of North Carolina, and the history of my family were very intertwined, not always processed, but intertwined. In addition to these battlefields we’d also visit cemeteries where relatives were buried like my grandfather, great grandparents and many cousins. They are all together in a little family plot near an old federal style house called Dalkeith where my family still gathers for Thanksgiving each year. The family bought the house in the late 1880’s, but it was built in 1825. We are confident there was enslaved African people present on that farm through 1865. We aren’t confident if the enslaved Africans were housed on the land or housed nearby with their labor being forced on multiple farms in the area. But that’s not really talked about at Thanksgiving. The family plot at the cemetery is at Bethlehem United Methodist Church in Arcola, NC. At the foot of my immigrant, WW 2 United States Navy Veteran, grandfather Brodie’s grave is a little emblem they give to retired Methodist Pastors, it’s a circuit rider. At the foot of a number of my older relative’s graves, are little metal crosses with letters C.S.V. on different points of the cross. C.S.V., Confederate States Veterans. I knew what the C.S.V letters stood for this even when I was little, but again the privilege of not having to process was very real. I do think I knew enough to know that that meant they were the little gray men, the toys we would play with. We’d go to museums like the North Carolina History where two small artifacts are kept. Both carved from beef bone, one is a bird clutching a snake, the other is a book surrounded by what resembles a horseshoe shape. They were carved by George W. Davis, a cousin, while he was a prisoner of war, a little gray man, held in a prison in Elmira, New York. We were in museums. In Lexington, Virginia, home of the Red Hen, is also home of the cemetery where my father’s parents are buried. And Just a stone’s throw from my WW 2 United States Army veteran Grandfather Roberts, is the grave and statue of General Stonewall Jackson, C.S.V. Lexington is also home to my father’s alma mater and the place where my grandfather taught, cytology and histology, Washington and Lee University. Home of Lee Chapel where Robert E. Lee is buried, and where Confederate Battle flags hung just beyond an opening at the front of the chapel space. These were our playgrounds and our toys. Me, my brothers, my parents and theirs. These where spaces we learned stories both from the family and from history. Some stories incomplete, few stories reflected upon in the moment. When did you first realize something was wrong? In 2nd grade, so when I was 8 years old. I recall specifically and vividly the moment I realized something was wrong. It’s stuck with me ever since. It is possible I’m not remembering this perfectly, but here it goes. We were sitting in the rear section of our classroom on the floor. That meant that whatever we were doing it didn’t involve desk work and there’s a good chance we were watching a movie as part of our discussion. Mrs. Adams was my teacher. Mrs. Adams was an African American woman and had responsibility for teaching young children multiple subject. I won’t be able to stress the significances of this enough, but having her as a teacher in the state of North Carolina is proving more and more invaluable. On to our subject, through whatever medium, we were learning about the civil war. I don’t remember the film and I don’t remember any other aspect of the discussion. However, enough was said to finally articulate that slavery, was one, a thing, and two was a central to the civil war. Thankfully, I had a teacher (or teachers) who could say plainly enough that slavery meant black people were owned as property. And this was largely (not exclusively) the case in the South (my playground) and with the people of the gray team as owners (my team), and fighting to preserve this right to own and force people into labor. Eight-year-old Ben’s head (and probably heart) nearly exploded at this point. All of what I knew about my family and the gray team was coming into focus in a new way. Deep processing and unpacking was not necessary at this point, but I knew enough thanks to good parenting that this slavery thing, this owning people thing, this working people against their will, this abusing people thing, this violence, this denigration of an entire group of people thing, this separating of families, mothers from children, husbands from wives, sisters from brothers, peoples from land thing; was not a good thing. No time, much less capacity, to think though because, my God! My friend Meghan is sitting right beside me. Holy crap! Our whole existence has a new meaning, and what on earth shall I say to my black friend Meghan who was, I’m sure, more disturbed by all this than I was. So, I did what any 8-year-old would do when confronted about a truth of history indicating a form of responsibility for a bad thing. I lied! I lied my tail-off! Bold face falsity as a means of self-preservation, friend console-ment, but mostly self-console-ment. An example of what I mean here: you say to a young child knowing the answer is yes, “Did you take the cookie when we told you not to?” What’s the answer? “No.” Same for pretty much every kid, and far too many adults. I turned to my friend Megan, I leaned over and I said, I remember this clear as day, “My family was on the blue team.” Such a little liar. If you’re finding yourself having sympathy for 8-year-old Ben, don’t. Eight is a pretty late age to be learning something is wrong with racism in America. Maybe it doesn’t seem old for a white kid, but black boys and girls at that age are learning, as a matter of life and death how to navigate what they already knew was a problem. This was it, this was the first time I think I realized something was wrong. I’m embarrassed it took so long. Even up to last week I was still trying to change it because it presents racism as binary (white and black) and related to  tangible institutions like slavery or segregation when we know it’s so much more than that. But it’s my story and it’s mine to grapple with. The tendency, however, to deny our story, to lie to ourselves or others about the conditions of the world and our culture is not mine alone. When did you realize something was wrong? Do you remember your story? Is there something that you need to go retrieve from it before it’s lost? Is there something in that can help us live forward better and be more resilient in difficult times? We read the same texts they are reading at the worship service on the Mall today. The focus for is on the Matthew 5 text, verse 9, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” It’s either a hard or very appropriate day to think of peacemaking when there are planned gatherings celebrating and encouraging violence. Our key verse begs the question, “Really? With them?” I’d say, “yes” and “no.” With the people of all the various groups that gather today? “Yes.” With the ideas that white supremacist espouse? No, never. Resist always evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves. What a lot of us need to do today is begin making peace with our stories. Make peace with their incompleteness and their privilege. Make peace with them so our reaction to them isn’t what 8-year-old Ben did, lie about it, be embarrassed by it, feel guilty about it, re-write the history of it. You can’t change it, but you can learn from it. Ignoring the fullness of our stories isn’t helpful and only prolongs our inaction on the ways racism persists in our collective daily story. I’ll give you another story Foundry Church. When this congregation began 1814 it was over 50% African enslaved and free. But we were segregated in our seating and leadership. By 1836 Asbury Chapel was formed and the black constituency of Foundry made their way to that space further entrenching the forced racial divide that for Foundry persisted roughly another 130 years. In 1965 Norman and Francis Prince joined Foundry as members becoming the first black members of the church since the early 1800’s. It would be another 30 years before we became a reconciling congregation, committing ourselves to welcoming all people. Then between 2000 and 2001 a group of Foundry members decided it was time to make peace with our own story. I’m deeply grateful they did too. A congregation wide study on racism and white privilege took place over the course of at least a year. Joint classes and discussions were held with both Asbury and Foundry members. Through that Foundry was able to put together a formal act of repentance for the sins of racism through the church. Asbury received that and there were marches back and forth between our two buildings; of course, there was food. But these were the steps taken to make peace with our own story and culpability. To learn more from them and examine the deeper roots of entrenched systemic racism. Since then we’ve been able to collaborate in ministry in our downtown area. And we’ll stand together today on the mall against all forms of hate. Those Foundry and Asbury groups took a risk. They risked admitting to not knowing everything. They risked publicly acknowledging ways we have collectively and individually participated in systems of racism. They risked having others’ opinions about them being lowered. They put in work to make peace with a story, so that we could live forward better. Our verse today, “peacemakers;” one French translation uses “répandent (autour d'eux la paix).” I like this one, “it’s to spread peace around them.” It makes peace something you possess and spread all around you. In English though, peacemakers ends up essentially meaning peace is created. A peacemaker’s work is to reconcile two or more adversarial parties. That’s more appropriate for us today. There’s work to be done; with our own stories, so that we can alter the trajectory of our current shared narrative. Every second Sunday, the racial justice ministry team gathers for discussion, field trips, lectures or some other activity. We do something every month. Take advantage of that, it can easily help reframe your story and what you’re seeing around. This fall we’ll be working through writings of Howard Thurman. I’ll recommend you get involved with that group. I’ll also recommend to you the book “Waking up White, and Finding my self in the Story of Race,” by Debby Irving.  It’s a good baseline consciousness raising narrative of the author’s own figuring out of how racism is operating in systems of our culture and how she was operating within and perpetuating them, as a nice person, as well. Today if you’re wanting to go to the rally, but don’t want to get “yelled at” or something like that know this; if they only time you choose to show up is when the white nationalist come to town or shortly after another unarmed black or brown person is killed, you’re probably going to hear some yelling. Show up any way. Don’t ask someone who has an embodied experience of racism to sanitize their emotion or feelings for your comfort. Just show up. Then show up the next day and every day in between. Go ahead and make peace with the fact that you are going to make mistakes on this journey. That you are not all knowing and that there are ways that even you, good as I know you are, still participate in racist systems. Don’t let some sense of guilt or shame hold you back from engage the work, that is one of the subtlest yet most effective ways evil works to perpetuate this whole mess. Risk your public reputation as good a good person who has it all figured out, so that you can engage in the real work of peacemaking, of reconciliation; the work God calls us to. Soon you’ll begin to realize that the real conversations don’t happen in 3-hour blocks at rallies. Soon you’ll realize that the real work of breaking down your own privilege happens as you draw closer to one another, not in groups of thousands, but in groups of 2 or 3 or 4. This is where the real work of peace happens. Maya Angelou says this, “if we face the past with courage we don't have to repeat it.” There is peace making work to do friends, let’s commit ourselves this day.
