Podcast appearances and mentions of colonel shaw

14 June 2020 The Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ NOTE: Due to the Covid19 / Coronavirus Emergency the Archdiocese of New York has cancelled all public Masses for an indefinite period. The homily attached hereto was given on 18 June 2017, Corpus Christi, using the same Readings as for today, 14 June 2020. Note also that 18 June 2017 was Father’s Day in the United States. In 2020, Father’s Day in the United States is next Sunday 21 June 2020. John 6:51-58 + Homily 14 Minutes 28 Seconds Link to the Readings: http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/061420.cfm (New American Bible, Revised Edition) From the parish bulletin of Sunday 14 June 2020:   Robert Gould Shaw was born into an abolitionist Unitarian family in Boston in 1837. When he was ten, they settled on Staten Island. An uncle who became a Catholic priest paid for his tuition at what is now the Fordham Preparatory School. As a somewhat distracted student, he never completed his studies (who does?) but he was tutored in Italy and Germany and studied at Harvard. During the Civil War he was eventually promoted to Colonel and, following the Emancipation Proclamation, he led New England’s first all-black military unit, the 54th Regiment.  Shaw insisted on equal pay and opposed any form of discrimination. Two of his soldiers were sons of Frederick Douglas.    In 1863, storming Fort Wagner in South Carolina, Colonel Shaw led his regiment, which suffered heavy losses while he died from several wounds defending the nation and racial justice. Saint-Gaudens sculpted a bronze relief of Shaw and his troops, which was dedicated across from the Massachusetts State House 123 years ago on May 31. Just weeks ago, three million dollars were designated to restore it, but ironically on May 31, a mob claiming to be defenders of human dignity, defaced with obscenities this tribute to valiant African-Americans.    Rioters also gathered in our nation’s capital in Logan Circle, by another irony named for a Civil War general, John A. Logan, who said: “Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten, as a people, the cost of a free and undivided republic.” But many in our latest generation have not merely forgotten that cost, they were never taught it in the first place.    The valor of the 54th Regiment was depicted in the 1989 film “Glory.” Yet recent mobs have behaved more like the brawlers in old Western movies, for whom one man attacking another becomes a cue for everyone to rise and wreck the whole saloon. Riots broke out in other cities and spread abroad. Perceived manipulation of the ignorant by sinister plotters whose Orwellian strategy is to call their fascism anti-fascist, is no excuse for their obliviousness to the consequences of moral confusion.    In 452, Pope Leo the Great saved Rome from Attila the Hun and, in a double whammy three years later, he confronted Genseric the Vandal. He faced both with the serenity of virtue and the bravery of charity, bending his knee before neither because he knelt only to God.     Pope Leo preached: “Christian, remember your dignity, and now that you share in God’s own nature, do not return by sin to your former base condition. Bear in mind who is your head and of whose body you are a member. Do not forget that you have been rescued from the power of darkness and brought into the light of God’s kingdom.”  

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe what happens when aliens make hostile moves on a double-tough colonel-kernel son of a gun. We will also be exploring whether aliens are predators and theorising as to whether they do indeed play basketball. Are monkeys beautiful? What does Bigfoot sound like? Are we being monitored by space probes from distant solar systems which resemble profoundly lengthy terds? Also, does Predator wear pants? All this and more on this weeks podcast.  Probe us:Email: butitwasaliens@gmail.comInstagram @ ButItWasAliensPodcastTwitter @ ButItWasAliensFacebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers  Hoodies/Clothing:https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/but-it-was-aliens Merch:https://ButItWasAliens.redbubble.com  Music: Music created via Garageband.

In March of 1863, Massachusetts Governor John A. Andrew authorized the first black volunteer regiment to fight for the Union Army during the Civil War. The Massachusetts 54th Regiment, commanded by Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, gained recognition after spearheading an assault on Fort Wagner, South Carolina, in July of that year. During the battle at Fort Wagner, Colonel Shaw and 116 of his men were killed. The 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry and Colonel Shaw are memorialized on the Boston Common with a monument considered one of the most important installations of public art in the country. The Shaw and the 54th Regiment memorial is about to undergo a multi-million dollar restoration, which we discussed on the show last fall. Over the past year, The Museum of African American History and the Friends of the Public Garden have been collaborating on programs and events highlighting Boston's black history as a prelude to the construction. An upcoming event to kick off construction for the Shaw and Massachusetts 54th Regiment Memorial Restoration project is scheduled for October 10th, 2019. Marita Rivero - Executive Director of the Museum of African American History in Boston. Liz Vizza - Executive Director at Friends of the Public Garden. Joe Zellner - Member and former President of the Board of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment Company A Reenactors. Later in the show… You might be familiar with the phrase, “less is more." It describes minimalism - an art movement characterized by simple content and form - with no personal expression. But a new exhibit at the Institute of Contemporary Art declares "less is a bore" marking a renewed excitement about Maximalism with its loud and layered complex visuals. Guest curator Jenelle Porter selected the 40 artists for Less is a Bore: Maximalist Art and Design. We took a trip to the Institute of Contemporary Art to speak with her and explore the exhibit. Less is a Bore is on view at the ICA now until September 22. Guest: Jenelle Porter - ICA Guest Curator

So Ferris Bueller plays White Saviour to a bunch of courageous, black, Civil War soldiers in the Next 151 Project. And, against the odds, it really works. This remains a powerful film 30 years on, especially when the focus shifts (at least somewhat) from Matthew Broderick to Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman and friends. Broderick (and the man he portrays, Colonel Shaw) might be in over his head, but that benefits the character and the movie. It’s a flicker show filled with great moments and exceptional battle scenes. Ed Zwick has directed a few underrated motion pics, but his Civil War opus is his most-meaningful accomplishment. Nab some Sparkplug Coffee ASAP. That 10% discount is still applicable. Just toss in “top100project” at check-out.

June 7, 2017 at the Boston Athenæum. The story of Robert Gould Shaw is one of heroism and loss. A young man's coming of age was cut short by his early death. His life, beginning in gentle ease, was entwined with the rise of the Massachusetts 54th Regiment, the first black regiment in the Union Army. Spurred on by Frederick Douglass, the Regiment proved itself at Fort Wagner. The monument to Colonel Shaw and his men is the work of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who, like Shaw, discovered something about himself through the creation of an American masterpiece.
