Tra il Settecento e l'Ottocento, l'Egitto fu lo scenario delle prime grandi campagne archeologiche dell'età moderna. A esplorare le bellezze dell'antica terra dei faraoni arrivarono personaggi figli di un'epoca movimentata e romantica: lestofanti, tombaroli e avventurieri si mischiarono a storici, eruditi e scienziati, e anzi capitava spesso che alcuni fossero tutto questo insieme. Nel novero di questi cercatori di tesori giganteggia la figura di un italiano, un uomo entrato a buon diritto tra i pionieri dell'archeologia. Il suo nome è Giovanni Battista Belzoni. È di lui che vi parliamo in questa puntata: Belzoni ha legato la propria fama a diverse imprese degne di nota, ma una delle più impressionanti fu il ritrovamento, nella Valle dei Re, di una tomba decorata da pitture così belle da farle guadagnare il nome di “Cappella Sistina dell'antico Egitto”.
Questa è la Voce di William John Bankes (1786-1855) e dell'obelisco di File che egli portò dall'Egitto in Inghilterra e che, ancora oggi, svetta nel formidabile giardino della tenuta di Kingston Lacy nel Dorset. Aristocratico, viaggiatore e fine collezionista, Bankes, con una geniale intuizione proprio sull'iscrizione dell'Obelisco di File, aggiunse un tassello fondamentale alla decifrazione dei geroglifici. Una biografia avventurosa e intrigante la sua alla quale, però, si aggiunge anche la vicenda di una grande ingiustizia. Bibliografia: G.

Giovanni Battista Belzoni è ampiamente noto a tutti coloro che sono interessati alla cultura faraonica. L'italiano alto due metri e di corporatura robusta lavorò come uomo forte del circo a Londra e si recò in Egitto per vendere una pompa di irrigazione al viceré Mohamed Ali nel 1816. Una volta nel paese del Nilo, si interessò alle antichità egiziane e lavorò come un "cercatore" per il console britannico Sir Henry Salt. Infatti, l'esploratore italiano fece importanti scoperte durante il suo soggiorno in Egitto : la tomba di Seti I, la più bella della Valle dei Re, da dove l'elaborato sarcofago fu portato a Londra; entrò anche nella tomba di Ramses I nella Valle dei Re; Entrò nella piramide di Kefren, la seconda più grande della pianura di Giza , essendo il primo uomo in tempi moderni a farlo; entrò anche nella piramide di Micerino; #GiovanniBattistaBelzoni #SetiI #RamsesII #ValledeiRE #nticoEgitto
Per quanto riguarda questa Voce poche, anzi pochissime e incerte, sono le notizie biografiche. Dal suo cognome da nubile alla sua data e luogo di nascita: nulla è sicuro! Una Voce così, però, per quanto frammentata e incerta non può essere ignorata. Perché la Voce di Sarah Banne (o Sarah Parker Browne) nata in Inghilterra (o forse in Irlanda) nel 1783 -al Secolo la SignoraBelzoni- fu davvero unica nel suo genere!

Sullo sfondo di una rivalità sempre più aspra con il Console Generale per parte Francese, Bernardino Drovetti, continuiamo a raccontare altre incredibili imprese di Giovanni Battista Belzoni (1778-1823), avventuriero e pioniere, allora ingaggiato dal Console inglese Henry Salt: il trasporto del "Giovane Memnon" da Luxor al Cairo; le esplorazioni presso l'antica città di Tebe e lungo tutto il corso del Nilo; lo scavo del Tempio Maggiore di Abu Simbel; l'appropriazione per conto dell'Inghilterra, presso l'isola di File, di un'obelisco che sarà fondamentale per la decifrazione dei geroglifici; la scoperta delle tombe reali di Ay, Montuherkhepeshef, Ramesse I e Sethi I; la scoperta dell'ingresso della piramide di Chefren, rimasta inviolata dal XIII secolo.

Giovanni Battista Belzoni (1778-1823) è stato una Voce originalissima dell'Egittologia. Avventuriero per antonomasia, Belzoni fu un personaggio emblematico dell'epoca in cui visse. In questo episodio raccontiamo di lui, di come -complice il caso o il destino- arrivò in Egitto, accompagnato da coloro che lo seguirono, instancabili, in tutte le sue avventure: sua moglie Sarah e il loro giovane assistente James Curtin. Senza dimenticare la rocambolesca vicenda che lega questo gigante ad un'altro: Ramesse II. Bibliografia: G. BELZONI, Narrative of the Operations and Recent Discoveries in Egypt and Nubia, London, John Murray, 1820; (URL: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k1053464.image#). S.

It was time to do a promo for HRN 451, to be titled New Rig… Who Dis?. David W0DHG was driving home (LA) from San Francisco. Gary K4AAQ anchored from the Studio in the Bonus Room Above the Garage on the North Side of Fort Mill (SC), in the Shadow of Charlotte, at the Foot of Mt. Belzoni.A little over three hours later, then were done… apparently only because David arrived home.David was in SF to visit one of his daughters. While they were attending an event, David's rental car (good gas mileage offset rental price) was broken into, and his backpack with a PC and his AnyTone HT (in the trunk, not on the seat, so the thief was onto that trick) were stolen. And a window was broken. So much for savings. Likely his 2007 Toyota FJ, bristling with antennae, would not have been so assaulted. No, it doesn't take three hours to tell that story, so clearly there's more. Probably about 45 minutes of real entertainment, sadly embedded in 3+ hours of ‘show'.Oh, and ‘PROMORE'? That may have been a typo in the chat, or it may have been deliberate. Anyway, it's a new way to label our extended ‘promo' videos. WARNING!! A Zoom issue caused David's end of the call to echo everything Gary said. Gary - hearing his own voice which he loves - was good with that. Gary's wife Cyndi KD4ACW, said it was ‘very annoying'. This Website agrees with Cyndi. Listen at your own risk
We made up this title when the tropical storm remnants of Hurricane Ian were predicted to pass directly over the East Coast Studio (in the Shadow of Charlotte, at the foot of Mt. Belzoni). The track moved about 100 miles east and flooded Raleigh, instead. But of course, the serious devastation was in Cuba, Florida and coastal South Carolina.We have our usual gang of hosts, Jim NO1PC, David W0DHG and Gary K4AAQ. And we're joined by Christine Duez K4KJN, SEC for the West Central Florida Section, and Gordon Mooneyhan W4EGM, Public Information Coordinator for the South Carolina Section. Both were on the edge of the path that Ian took through Florida and South Carolina.
Arkeolog olan Tad'in en büyük isteği, meslektaşlarının onu kabul etmesidir. Ancak sürekli kaza yapması buna engel olur. Bir gün yanlışlıkla nadir bulunan bir lahiti tahrip eden Tad, bir sihirin gerçekleşmesine neden olur ve bu arkadaşlarının hayatını tehlikeye sokar. Jeff ve Belzoni'nin mumyayı kurtarmasından sonra Tad ile Sara, Zümrüt Tablet'in lanetine son vermenin yolunu arar ve bunun için dünyanın uzak köşelerine seyahet etmek zorunda kalırlar.
En términos generales el circo proviene del legado cultural que nos han dejado las antiguas civilizaciones desde Oriente hasta Occidente, cuyos orígenes están en China, Grecia y Roma unos 3.000 años atrás. Nuestro invitado el arqueólogo Néstor F. Marqués, autor de “Un año en la antigua Roma”, nos hablará de lo que se hacía en un circo romano, de sus aspectos lúdicos y religiosos, de las carreras de cuadrigas y de todo lo relacionado con el Circo Máximo de Roma. Por su parte, David Sentinella nos hablará de la importancia de la Comedia del Arte en la creación de personajes que se convierten en antecedentes de los payasos, como son Pierrot, Arlequín o Polichinela. Carlos Canales relatará la evolución del circo moderno desde el siglo XVIII y la paulatina desaparición de los animales. Marcos Carrasco sobre los personajes circenses que pintaron en sus cuadros Degas, Chagall, Dalí o Picasso. Juan Ignacio Cuesta nos contará la anécdota de cuando fundó La linterna vallecana, dedicada a este tipo de eventos. Jesús Callejo mencionará a Belzoni, P. T. Barnum o Búfalo Bill como genuinos representantes de un espectáculo ya pasado de moda. Y Pepa Llausas glosará la película “Agua para elefantes”, para terminar, damas y caballeros, con las valiosas enseñanzas del payaso-médico Patch Adams.

To migratory bird hunters, Labor Day marks the real New Year. Summer temps are finally waning, cotton defoliant wafting on soon-to-be-autumn air. It's finally dove season. Everything else soon follows. Mississippi Delta native Chuck Cage has been guiding since the late '70s, only recently retiring. He and Ramsey discuss dove hunting, duck hunting and lots more in today's Duck Season Somewhere episode. How'd he accidentally get into guiding duck hunters in the Mississippi Delta, how big is his traditional hunting area? What's he mean saying "traders of tradables" was once his business card title, what was his motto, and what's the most memorable thing ever delivered as promised? After all these years, how many leg bands hang from his lanyard, and what are his thoughts on the subject? What's changed since the days he hunted first with his grandfather? How's guiding sometimes mediating?

Time erodes all earthly power and its trappings; though that didn’t stop European countries in the early 19th century from racing to grab up Egypt’s fallen monuments, and thus claim ancient glories for their own. One misidentified fragment in particular had a tumultuous voyage to its new home, at the same moment as the ruler it depicted was being immortalized in Percy Shelley’s poem “Ozymandias.”

durée : 00:02:39 - BD bande desinée - par : Jean-Christophe OGIER - Précurseurs de l'égyptologie, le couple que formaient Giambattista Belzoni et Sarah Banne a laissé de savoureux journaux que Grégory Jarry, Lucie Castel et Nicole Augereau ont adaptés en bandes dessinées.
Digno de ser un protagonista de películas de aventuras, el protagonista de nuestro programa superó cualquier guión cinematográfico que se rodara. Este italiano de 2 metros y de gran fortaleza física se va a convertir en uno de los padres d ela arqueología mundial, aunque lo veamos más bien como un expoliador o cazatesoros. Y además pasó por Cádiz
Through a series of random events, this 6'6 Italian strongman found himself history's first Egyptologist. Belzoni looted his way through pyramids and ancient tombs, mashing mummies and destroying priceless artifacts, creating an infamous legacy for envious archaeologists that followed in his massive footsteps.
Giovanni Battista Belzoni (1778-1823). Per qualcuno rude tombarolo, per molti il prototipo dell' archeologo avventuroso, esotico, coraggioso e dalla vita leggendaria. Faraoni e sepolcri egizi sono riemersi dall'oblio grazie a lui, che dell'oblio della storia, poi, è stato vittima, dopo una fine imprevista, come la sua vita.
In questa puntata andiamo indietro nel tempo e faremo un viaggio dall'Egitto alle stelle in compagnia di Indiana Jones e di Giovanni Belzoni.

Join Pod Squad member Susan Liles, when she travels to the public library in Belzoni, Mississippi. This small rural community in the Mississippi Delta has seen lots of ups and downs along the way, and thanks to the library, folks here have access to technology, great books, and librarians willing to help. Tune in to find out about Indian mounds nearby dating back 20,000 years, the legendary blues artist from these parts, and the role the library plays in helping to share this sort of information.
One of the most bizarre and mysterious cultures in human history, ancient Egypt still holds considerable interest for us today. This was even more true in the 1810s, not long after battles between France and Britain in the region of the Nile brought European travelers, scholars and opportunists to the desert to hunt for ancient Egyptian artifacts. One of the most notorious of these characters was Giovanni Battista Belzoni, a former barber and circus strong man who in 1815 became the go-to guy for British agents seeking to make a killing on selling Egyptian artifacts back in Europe. Belzoni’s incredible run of luck in the tomb raiding business, especially in October 1817, resulted in the discovery of numerous undiscovered and forgotten tombs in the Valley of the Kings, bringing to light their mysteries and questions that have lingered for the past 3,000 years. In this episode of Second Decade, Dr. Sean Munger will trace the rise of Europe’s interest in Egypt, why the 1810s was such a crucial part of that story, and the discoveries on (and under) the ground that still tantalize us today. You’ll meet not only the audacious character of “The Great Belzoni,” but an ambitious and superstitious Ottoman prince, a wily British agent seeking to move as much loot as possible from the land of the pharaohs to the British Museum, and an Egyptian king who left behind over 800 wooden servants to work for him in the afterlife. Dr. Munger also has a rare occasion to share a story from his own childhood, one of his very first encounters with history.

En este último vídeo referido a los restos de ajuares funerarios hallados en las distintas tumbas de época ramésida nos centraremos en destacar aquellas sepulturas que nos han legado las muestras más interesantes. Empezaremos precisamente por la tumba de Ramsés I, la KV 16, que como sabemos es el fundador de la décimo novena dinastía. En esta además del famoso sarcófago de granito rojo inacabado fueron halladas algunas piezas de madera especialmente interesantes. De hecho, fueron halladas tanto un par de piezas en la cámara sepulcral de la misma de aspecto antropomorfo y de tamaño natural como un grupito de estatuas antropozoomorfas. En cuanto a las primeras que fueron en su momento definidas, especialmente la que vemos en la imagen de la derecha, por Belzoni como casi perfectas, se trata de efigies del monarca talladas en madera de sicomoro de tamaño casi natural que nos recuerdan precisamente a las más conocidas figuras de guardianes de la tumba de Tutankhamon.

If you've spent any length of time of time in the Delta, chances are you've run into Belzoni, Mississippi-native Bill Abel. He's an accomplished potter and visual-artist, but most folks know him as an omni-present force on the Delta festival and jook joint circuit. The longtime sideman for country blues greats like Paul "Wine" Jones and T-Model Ford steps out on his own this week in a full band performance captured during Bridging The Blues and featuring Hans Theesink on second guitar. Also, BSC contributor John Paul Keith joins us again to continue his series, Made In Memphis.
Welcome back to robinlofton.com. Actually, I should welcome to the new rememberinghistory.com podcast. This month, April 2015, I launched the new and improved website and podcast called rememberinghistory.com where we are still remembering history and we’re still making history, too! Yes, it’s a new and improved website and community where you can still find the Wiki History podcasts, my bodacious blog and a great community of fun and friendly people who love history! You will also find some new things at rememberinghistory.com. I have opened a store called Books & Stuff where you can find, well, books. But you can also find DVDs, videos, and lots of other “stuff” to enhance your history experience. While I’m glad that you are listening to my podcasts, I think that it’s also important to read, read and read some more. I remember that John Adams (2nd president of the United States) said when after finishing his studies at Harvard and before writing the Massachusetts constitution was asking himself, “How can I judge? How can any man judge unless his mind has been opened and enlarged by reading?!” That’s why I have opened a books and stuff store. And I’ve made it easy because I have also added my personal reading recommendations for the month and for just general knowledge and interest. Everything that I recommend in the store, I have personally read and highly recommend. So, what if you’re not the reading type? That’s okay too. Some people are more visual. Some people are more audio-oriented. Everyone is learns differently. (John Adams and his contemporaries didn’t have that option!) But we do so I also recommend DVDs and audiobooks. Again, each one has been personally vetted by me—I have read, watched or listened to all of them. I would also like your opinions about these supplementary items and I definitely want your recommendations too. So, that is one of the new things that you will find at rememberinghistory.com. There will be another new addition to the website too, which will launch on June 1st. I will give you more information and ways to win prizes and other freebies as the date gets closer but for now…just know that something big is coming soon. Stay tuned. Finally, before getting to our first Wiki History Podcast about Less Famous Heroes, I just want to remind you that you can still go to robinlofton.com but you will be redirected automatically to rememberinghistory.com. Please remember to sign up so that you can receive the podcasts, blogs, news and updates directly to you by email. (Don’t worry, you won’t get an avalanche of email messages but you will stay informed and updated about the goings on at rememberinghistory.com. Enough said about that. In the Spring, I like to take a moment to remember the people who have fought and died in the struggle for civil rights, the fight for human rights. Yes, I know that Spring is upon us, the days are longer, the birds are singing again and the flower buds are just returning. It is a time for renewal. But for me it is also a time for remembrance. Why? Two reasons. In the midst of all the wonderful feelings of happiness, joy and freedom, it just feels right to me to remember those people who fought for us to have the right to enjoy those freedoms. The second reason is that April 4th is the day that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. April 4, 1968 to be exact. He was certainly a fallen—and definitely not forgotten—hero. Dr. King needs no introduction. But he definitely deserves our remembrance this month. He was a (or the) leader in the civil rights movement. Many people do not realize, though, that he was also a philosopher and prolific writer. His speeches are legendary but his books take the issues to a new level of deep. One of his best, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? should be on everyone’s short list to read. Written in 1967, Dr. King discusses, in this book, the advances made in civil rights in the 1950s and 60s. But then he continues on to question what African Americans can and should do with these hard-won freedoms. He concludes that Blacks and whites—or actually, everyone—should unite to fight poverty and demand equality of opportunity. This is a powerful book, and very ahead of its time. For a shorter and very moving summary of his philosophy, read Dr. King’s Letter from a Birmingham jail (written on April 16, 1963). It is a condensed version of his philosophy and thoughts about discrimination, equality and how people will have to unite for the common good. I saw another side to Dr. King as well in his Letter from a Birmingham Jail. He sounded angry and frustrated about the difficulties that he was facing in the cause of equality, especially from his clergy brethren. You will see a very human side to Dr. King, which is compelling and provides a fuller picture of this brilliant man. Dr. King was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1964. Yes, he was a leader of the African American community but his vision and work led him to become a world leader. Dr. King was killed on April 4, 1968. He will always be remembered and honored for his dedication and service. And now is a great time to remember other people who though not so prominent or famous as Dr. King made important and courageous contributions in the field of human rights too. Some made big contributions. Others made strong individual stands. All were important and deserve to be remembered. That’s what I’m doing today. By the way, you can find Where Do We Go From Here? Chaos or Community? and Letter from a Birmingham Jail as well as DVDs and audiobooks in the bookstore at rememberinghistory.com. You don’t have to remember the names—you will find them in the Special Section called Less Famous Heroes in the bookstore at rememberinghistory.com. Have you heard of Corporal Roman Ducksworth, Jr.? Corporal Ducksworth was a military officer with leave to go home to see his wife and five children. On April 9, 1962, he was taking a bus through Mississippi when a police officer, William Kelly, awoke Corporal Ducksworth by punching him in the face. The officer then ordered Corporal Ducksworth off the bus. He refused. The officer dragged then dragged him off the bus at gunpoint and shot him through the heart. Let’s back up a moment. Why did this happen, why was Corporal Ducksworth killed? Different accounts but probably because he refused to move when the bus entered Mississippi, where segregation was still enforced. The Supreme Court had already declared segregation on buses to be illegal. And Corporal Ducksworth stood up for his right to sit in any available seat on the bus. For that stand, he was punished, killed. In standing up for his right, he also stood up for our rights. This was a courageous move for anyone to make in Mississippi in 1962. Unfortunately, Corporal Ducksworth was killed and Officer Kelly’s actions were ruled as justifiable homicide; no federal charges were filed. However, Corporal Ducksworth received full military honors and a 16-gun salute. For his bravery in standing up for his rights, we salute Corporal Ducksworth and honor his courage. Thank you, Corporal Ducksworth! Rev. George Washington Lee We move on now to another brave man in the fight for civil rights. Rev. George Washington Lee. What a great name. In fact, many African Americans were named (or named themselves) after the founders of the United States. People like George Washington Carver and Booker T. Washington are other examples. Some were so named during slavery but many others received their names after slavery ended. Back to George Washington Lee. Reverend Lee was the first black person to register to vote in Humphreys County, Mississippi since Reconstruction. Rev. Lee often used his pulpit and his printing press to urge other Blacks to vote. White officials offered him protection on the condition he end his voter registration efforts. And Rev. Lee received many death threats for his efforts to register himself and other Blacks to vote. But he would not be deterred. Reverend Lee was a member of the NAACP and had worked for years to pay poll taxes so that he could vote and was finally allowed to sign the register after the county sheriff feared federal prosecution. On the night of May 7, 1955, Reverend Lee drove his car along Belzoni’s Church Street, returning from an NAACP meeting when people said “two gun blasts shattered the night stillness, and his Buick sedan swerved over the curb and rammed into a frame house. Several witnesses saw a car drive by with white men inside but the local sheriff ruled that Rev. Lee had argued with a woman and lost control of his car. He died on his way to the Humphreys County Memorial Hospital.” As it turned out, the FBI did investigate Rev Lee’s murder and records show the agency built a circumstantial murder case against two men, but a local prosecutor refused to take the case to a grand jury. Peck Ray and Joe David Watson Sr., the suspects, were members of the Citizens Council. Both died in the 1970s and never served any time for the killing. Some of Lee’s friends believe the murder was part of a larger conspiracy involving influential members of the community who wanted to silence Rev. Lee for encouraging blacks to register to vote. For his courage and determination to vote and encouraging other Blacks to vote, we honor the memory of Rev. George Washington Lee. And we thank him for his service. (Applause) I will end this first podcast about Less famous heroes with a discussion of Harry and Harriet Moore. They were both black educators in Florida and formed the first office of the N AACP in the southern state. The Moores focused on the sharp disparity or difference between the salaries and benefits received by white teachers and black teachers in the public schools. In fact, they filed the first lawsuit teacher salary disparities. They also fought against segregation particularly in education. Later, Mr. Moore began to focus on the problem of police brutality and lynching—both very controversial and dangerous subjects. Harry Moore documented and personally investigated more than a hundred cases of lynching in the state of Florida. Because of their work against violence and discrimination, they received numerous death threats and were later fired from their jobs. On Christmas Day in 1951, a firebomb was placed directly under their bedroom in the house where they with their two daughters. The bomb exploded while they slept. Its explosion was called the “blast heard around the world” and sent the bed flying through the ceiling. Harry Moore was killed instantly. Nine days later, Harriett Moore died. Their daughters survived. Rallies were held. Letters were sent to the Governor and President Eisenhower but to no avail. No one was ever arrested or charged. They are the only known couple to be killed in the fight for civil rights. A recent investigation into the bombing—and by recent, I mean 2005 (more than 50 years ago their murders)—by the Florida State Attorney General discovered that the bombing had been done by four Klansmen who were known to be especially violent and used explosives in other killings. One of the klansmen actually had a diagram of the Moore’s home. Two of the klansmen died in 1956 (the year after the bombing), one klansman committed suicide and the remaining killer died in 1978. Before his death from cancer, he admitted to being at the scene of the bombing of the Moore’s home in 1951. The Moore’s have received many posthumous awards and honors, including have a post office and state high way named after them. They were also inducted into the Florida Civil Rights Hall of Fame. Langston Hughes wrote and read a poem at their funeral. It is short so I want to take a moment to read it. Florida means land of flowers It was on a Christmas night. In the state named for the flowers Men came bearing dynamite... It could not be in Jesus’ name Beneath the bedroom floor On Christmas night the killers Hid the bomb for Harry Moore A book was written about Harry Moore called Before His Time: The Untold Story of Harry T. Moore, America’s First Civil Rights Martyr. It was written in 1999 by investigative journalist Ben Green. You can find this book (which is also about Harriett too) in the bookstore at rememberinghistory.com. I hope that you read it but be prepared for an emotional ride—anger, sadness, frustration or all of the above. You decide. And let me know your thoughts and feelings about the book; I look forward to your comments. For their work in education and courage to fight segregation and violence against African Americans, we remember and honor Harry and Harriett Moore. And we thank them for their service. (Applause!) So, this brings the first podcast about Less Famous heroes to an end. Corporal Ducksworth. Reverend George Washington Lee. Harry and Harriett Moore. While it is important to note the violence that ended their lives, it is more important (I believe) to remember how they lived, what they fought for and their courage under fire. And they can give us the courage to stand up for what is right and fair for all people. In the next podcast, I will make a special focus still on Less Famous heroes. But the next podcast will focus on heroes who were white and were killed during the civil rights movement, fighting for civil rights. I think that many times we forget that many whites participated in the rallies and marches and were also opposed to segregation and the other evils of discrimination. (Their work and activities also caused them to lose friends, be rejected by family members and face violence.) So, I’m going to remember them in the next podcast. Their stories are also interesting and inspirational and remind us to stand up not only for our own rights, but also for the rights of others. I am reminded of one of my favorite philosophers, Edmund Burke, who said “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” (repeat) Well these people refused to “do nothing” even though things might have been easier and safer for them if they did. So they are an inspiration to us all and I am happy to remember and honor them in the next podcast. I hope that you will join me for the next podcast and that you enjoyed this session. Yes, the stories can be sad. They can be frustrating, perhaps even make you angry. But they are a part of history—all these people made history and we are here to remember history and to make history, too! If you want more information—and I hope that you do—please visit rememberinghistory.com and look at the blog and the bookstore where you will find the books that I mentioned at the beginning called Where do we go from here: Chaos or Community and the Letter from a Birmingham Jail. And the book about Harry Moore. You will also find other books, DVDs and resources that I personally recommend. Also, please leave your questions, comments, stories or just whatever is on your mind. We are a welcoming community of historians and we want you to be a part of it. So, see you next time at rememberinghistory.com (formerly robinlofton.com) where we are remembering history and we’re making history! Bye for now!
A lot of adult men and women can't still figure out what to do or where to go despite their age. Wisdom and life experiences seem to be pretty elusive; if not, they're too scared to take the leap of faith. Jara Everett is of a completely different league! She is destined for greatness, and if you're going to look past her life, you can certainly sense she's been working on her purpose since she was born. The Start Jara Everett was originally from Belzoni, Mississippi, though she spent most of her young life in Chicago, Illinois. It's easy to assume that it was in this city where she learned to love and appreciate the world of hip-hop. Nevertheless, while most of the eight-year-old kids were busy playing hopscotch or watching daytime cartoons, Jara was already writing songs and training for dance. She was also working on her voice that by 1994, she was ready for her first claim to fame. She was officially launched by Columbia Records as part of STOP, an all-girl singing group that came from Chicago. READ FULL INTERVIEW
Belzoni native Thomas Turner reflects on the origins and colorful life of gypsies who mule traded near his home in the early 20th century.
