Meet on Stevens Knoll along Slocum Ave.

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we explore Keith Lowe's *Prisoners of History* and the contested world of memorialisation – focusing on one of the strangest and most controversial memorial sites in Europe.Monuments occupy public space, and they impose meaning on it. Walk through any city and you'll find statues placed with particular agendas – to memorialise the past in certain ways, to place a particular interpretation on history. As a result, they are almost always contested. The recent removal of statues associated with the transatlantic slave trade, from Edward Colston in Bristol to Confederate monuments across the American South, provoked a furious reaction from the right, who framed it as a free speech issue. What they were really defending was the right of white supremacy to own and occupy public space.Keith Lowe argues that there is no escaping the monsters of our past. We can try to ignore them, rehabilitate them, or annihilate them – but their absence becomes its own kind of presence. There is only one final course open to us: ridicule.This brings us to Grūtas Park in Lithuania – a sculpture park displaying the statues of Stalin, Lenin, and other Soviet figures that were torn down after independence in 1990. Lithuania's 20th century was one of repeated invasion, occupation, and mass deportation. Around 300,000 Lithuanians were sent to Soviet gulags in the 1940s and 50s. So when independence came, the statues were decapitated, blowtorched, and dynamited. The government then stored the best-known examples in warehouses – until a former wrestling champion and mushroom farmer named Viliumas Malinauskas offered to take them off their hands and build a park.His proposals were extraordinary: tourists arriving on cattle trucks, actors dressed as guards herding them onto trains, barbed wire, guard towers, the whole gulag experience. Critics called it a "Stalin theme park." Over a million people signed a petition against it. Former partisans and political prisoners accused Malinauskas of profiting from their misery.But the park opened anyway – and became a hit. What makes Grūtas Park so interesting, and so troubling, is that it creates a space that is completely ahistorical. It was built in the era of the "end of history," when we thought we could turn the past into a meaningless theme park.History didn't end. Spoiler alert.**Topics covered:**- Keith Lowe's *Prisoners of History*- The contest over public memorials and public space- Francis Galton, eugenics, and the limits of ridicule- Lithuania's experience of Soviet and Nazi occupation- The fate of Stalin and Lenin statues after 1990- Viliumas Malinauskas and the creation of Grūtas Park- The petition, the protests, and the constitutional court ruling- The postmodern, ahistorical aesthetics of the park- The "end of history" and its illusions---*If you enjoy the podcast, please consider supporting us – we are migrating from Patreon to Substack.

**The Clay Edwards Show – Sept. 17, 2026** Sports, culture, and Mississippi reality in the same hour. LSU rolls into Oxford this weekend and suddenly they're Ole Miss's biggest rival until Egg Bowl. Lane Kiffin's swagger vs. Coach Golden, fair-weather fans chasing the winner, and why Amazon data centers and NCAA baseball regionals had more to do with the state flag coming down than any football player taking a knee. Longtime caller Derek hits the line: Ole Miss homecoming queen controversy, the Confederate flag on campus, Cross Colors double standards, and the “no snitching” crowd that suddenly wants everybody talking about Horn Island and Nolan Wells. A Change.org petition wants the Ross Barnett Reservoir renamed for “inclusivity.” 39 signatures. Clay and Creston walk through James Meredith, old legislation pushing Fannie Lou Hamer or B.B. King, and the recent Judy Barnett headlines that brought the name back up. Condolences to Hinds County Chancellor Dwayne Thomas, who passed after a heart attack. Fair judge. Good reputation. Then the internet did internet things: Arch Manning laughs at an AI meme of Steve Sarkisian slapping Holly Rowe after the Texas-Ohio State game. ABC World News Tonight treats it like a national crisis. Manning apologizes. Clay and Creston refuse to pretend a joke video is domestic violence. Mississippi DPS is rolling out the largest security presence ever for a college game in Oxford. Troopers, air ops, Louisiana units traveling with LSU, rumors Trump could show. Taxpayers footing the bill while people argue Louisiana should pay for their own coach. No lectures. No “positive solutions” from the same crowd that's been running things. Just the show.

Hollywood Cemetery is the final resting place of presidents, Confederate soldiers, Richmond's elite—and, according to local legend, a vampire. The story begins with the catastrophic 1925 collapse of the Church Hill Tunnel, when witnesses reportedly saw a bloody, badly injured figure emerge from the wreckage. Over the decades, that tragedy became tangled with the tomb of William Wortham Pool, an otherwise ordinary Richmond bookkeeper who died years before the collapse.But the Richmond Vampire isn't Hollywood Cemetery's only strange story. There's also a cast-iron dog guarding a child's grave, a ninety-foot granite pyramid, and generations of reported voices and apparitions.Tonight, we explore the history and folklore of Hollywood Cemetery.

Recorded live at the Black Books Matter Festival, MahoganyBooks co-founder Derrick Young sits down with S.A. Cosby, the bestselling author of Blacktop Wasteland, Razorblade Tears, All the Sinners Bleed, and King of Ashes.Cosby talks about the long road to his breakthrough. An early book was rejected more than 60 times, his first agent dropped him, and one publisher asked if he could make his work "blacker." He explains why he writes a full private biography for every main character, how he decides a story is finished, and why fans of Razorblade Tears got a surprise in King of Ashes. He also gets candid about the business side: the gap between his advance and a white peer's, why writers of color should ask publishers about marketing budgets, and why Black bookstores get skipped on author tours.Cosby shares updates on the Netflix adaptation of All the Sinners Bleed and a Blacktop Wasteland prequel he's writing. He closes with a defense of Black Southern life and why he keeps writing about the South: "Because I'm from the damn South."Shop S.A. Cosby's books at MahoganyBooks.com.Takeaways:Cosby says publishers told him early on they liked his books but didn't "see a market" for them. He describes getting what he calls "three-quarter rejection letters": three paragraphs of praise followed by a no. An early book was rejected more than 60 times, and he burned the rejection emails after landing his deal with Flatiron Books.He writes a private biography for each main character, covering details as small as favorite ice cream and first kiss. He says about 95% of it never appears in the book, but it keeps characters from making choices that only serve the plot. His example is Titus Crown's hidden fear of snakes in All the Sinners Bleed.For Cosby, a book is a snapshot of a character's life, not the whole story. He considers a story finished when the character has made an emotional journey and ends up different, not perfect, from where they started.Cosby confirms his books share a universe. Characters and references recur across novels, and Ike from Razorblade Tears makes a cameo in King of Ashes. He says he brought Ike back partly because so many readers asked how Ike was doing.Cosby describes Crime Writers of Color, a group he says started with 12 writers around 2015, when writers of color weren't being invited to crime fiction conferences. He says it has grown to about 300 members.Cosby says he received a $5,000 advance for Blacktop Wasteland, while a white author with similar credentials received $100,000 for her debut. He urges writers to share pay information and to ask publishers how much marketing money is behind their book compared with peers. In his words, "don't let your gratefulness hide your self-respect."Cosby and Derrick Young describe how publishers can steer author tour stops toward whichever store promises to buy the most copies, which can shut out Black bookstores. Young tells the audience that every book bought or borrowed from a library is tracked and sends a message to publishers.Cosby rejects the publishing idea that Black people don't read. He points to a crowd of about 180 at an Atlanta-area tour stop that had set up 50 chairs, and an audience of 387 in St. Louis.Cosby argues that the South belongs to the Black people who built, loved, and died on it, not to Confederate apologists. He calls it the site of "America's first great sin" and its first great ability to overcome it.Mentioned in this episode:African AncestryWe are the pioneers of genetic ancestry tracing for Black people globally, reconnecting you to your specific African roots–the country and the people.

This episode is part of Season 40: America's 250th Anniversary -- 50 states, 25 double-feature episodesexploring the cases that shaped American history from every corner of the country.Hawaii, 1889. A Japanese shopkeeper is lynched from a telephone pole on the main street of Honoka'a forspeaking English on behalf of plantation workers. Louisiana, 1887. Ten thousand sugar cane workers strike for cashwages instead of scrip -- and armed paramilitaries sweep through residential streets at dawn, killing between 35and 300 people. Two plantation economies. Two communities who challenged the system. The same answer.The VictimsKatsu Goto was twenty-seven years old when he was killed on October 29, 1889. Born in Japan in 1862, hechanged his family name from Kobayakawa to Goto to qualify for the Hawaii immigration program. He arrived inHonolulu Harbor on February 8, 1885, aboard the SS City of Tokio -- one of 944 immigrants in the first wave ofgovernment-contract Japanese workers under the kanyaku imin program. After three years cutting cane at ninedollars a month on the Hamakua Coast, Goto opened a general store in Honoka'a, the second-largest town onthe Big Island. He spoke English. He used that skill to help Japanese workers file complaints against plantationabuses. That made him a target.In Thibodaux, Louisiana, the victims of the November 23, 1887 massacre were overwhelmingly Black -- formerlyenslaved people and their children who had struck for fair wages during the sugar harvest. Eight names survivedthe historical record: Willis Wilson, Felix Pierre, Archy Jones, Frank Patterson, Grant Conrad, Marcellin Weldon,Riley Anderson, and Mahala Washington. They represent a fraction of those killed. The full death toll has neverbeen established.The CrimesOn the night of October 28, 1889, Katsu Goto rode on horseback to Robert Overend's plantation to meet withJapanese workers who had been fined for a cane field fire they may not have set. He left the meeting around teno'clock. Six men were waiting on the road: Joseph R. Mills, Thomas Steele, William C. Blabon, William D. Watson,John Richmond, and a man identified only as Lala. Goto was found the next morning hanging from a telephonepole on Honoka'a's main street. The coroner determined he died of asphyxiation -- he was alive when the ropewent around his neck.In Louisiana, the 1887 sugar strike began on October 29 when approximately 10,000 workers laid down their caneknives at the start of harvest season. The Knights of Labor had demanded $1.25 per day in cash wages, eliminationof the scrip system, and biweekly payment. Governor Samuel Douglas McEnery -- himself a planter -- deployedeleven companies of state militia to evict striking families from plantation housing. Parish District Judge TaylorBeattie, a former Confederate and sugar planter, declared martial law over the Black population of Thibodaux,assembled a committee of three hundred armed white men, and required Black residents to carry passes. Onthe morning of November 23, 1887, armed paramilitaries moved through Black neighborhoods for more than twohours, killing men, women, and children in their homes, yards, and streets.The InvestigationIn Hawaii, all six perpetrators in the Katsu Goto lynching were identified within weeks. Lala and Richmondcooperated with authorities in exchange for dropped charges. The 1890 trial convicted four men of manslaughter-- not murder. Mills and Steele received nine years; Blabon and Watson received four years each. But justiceeroded: Steele escaped to Australia, Blabon escaped to California, and Mills was pardoned in 1894 by the sameplanter-aligned provisional government that had overthrown Queen Lili'uokalani the year before. Only Watson,who played the smallest role, served his full sentence.In Thibodaux, no one was arrested for the killings. No one was tried. No one was convicted. The bodies werecollected and dumped in unmarked graves at a site that later became the city dump. Andrew Price, a sugar planterwho participated in the attacks, was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1889 -- two yearsafter the massacre.Historical ContextBoth cases occurred within plantation economies that ran on the same equation: keep labor costs low, keepworkers dependent, and make it dangerous to organize. In Hawaii, the Bayonet Constitution of 1887 had alreadystripped voting rights from Asian residents. In Louisiana, the scrip system effectively trapped formerly enslavedworkers on the same land they had worked before emancipation. Black farm labor organizing in the AmericanSouth did not resume in earnest until the 1930s -- more than forty years after the Thibodaux massacre.Today, a memorial to Katsu Goto stands near the Honoka'a Library on Mamane Street, erected in 1994 -- 105 yearsafter his death. A documentary, Honoka'a Hero: The Story of Katsu Goto, remains in production. In Thibodaux,the City Council officially condemned the violence in 2017, and a state historical marker was approved for 1123Bourbon Street. Ground-penetrating radar surveys of the former dump site have found anomalies consistentwith burials. As of 2025, excavation and formal identification have not been completed. The bodies are still in theground.Our Sponsors:* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome to the Old Ozarks with Dr. Brooks Blevins... This week, we're talking milk gone bad, mythical giants, and one very "rurnt" 72 hours — a Confederate major's real-life brush with a firing squad that came down to a president's telegram and a matter of hours. We'll start with Blinky Blue John, the Ozarks' own giant of legend, whose curious name traces back to superstitions about witches souring milk, before landing on the region's favorite way to say something's gone completely to pieces: "rurnt." Then it's on to the long sweetenin', the harrowing true story of Major Enoch Wolf of Ford's Battalion, CSA — captured during Price's Raid, hauled to St. Louis's Gratiot Street Prison, and handed a death sentence to "atone" for a Union officer's murder he had nothing to do with. We'll trace the Civil War's grim system of official retaliation, the frantic 72-hour scramble by Masons, society ladies, and telegrams to the White House to save him, Abraham Lincoln's own last-minute reprieve, and the mysterious woman who showed up at the prison claiming to be his wife. It's a true Ozarks story stranger, and closer to the wire, than most fiction. Let's dive into this episode of The Old Ozarks... What is The Old Ozarks? The Old Ozarks is your gateway to the forgotten history of the Ozarks. Hosted by renowned historian Dr. Brooks Blevins (the leading authority on the region's history), this podcast explores the lives, legends, and landscapes that have shaped this unique region. Whether you're a native Ozarker, a new resident, or a curious listener, join us as we share the stories that make the Ozarks special and connect us to our past.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!The Brickhouse Inn in Gettysburg may look like a charming pair of historic homes—but beneath the quiet exterior lies unrest. In this episode, we talk with manager Hannah Hilty about the property's two very different structures: the 1830s Welty House, which witnessed the full force of the Battle of Gettysburg, and the Victorian home built decades later on the same property.The Welty House is still carrying the marks of musket fire on its walls. Families hid in its cellar as soldiers fought just outside, and the land behind it became a temporary resting place for more than 30 Confederate soldiers. Those layers of trauma and emotion seem to echo through the space even now.Inside both homes, unexplained activity continues to surface—bells that ring with no one near them, EVPs responding to questions, phantom footsteps, shifting furniture, and the unmistakable presence of figures tied to the property's past. Some spirits feel young, some sorrowful, and others seem to maintain a watchful authority over the place they once called home.At The Brickhouse Inn, it seems history isn't just remembered—it's more like it refuses to leave.For more information, visit their website at brickhouseinn.com.#TheGraveTalks #BrickhouseInn #WeltyHouse #GettysburgHaunted #CivilWarGhosts #HauntedGettysburg #ParanormalActivity #HauntedHistory #GhostStoriesPodcast #GettysburgSpirits Love real ghost stories?

Mandii B, joined by super producer A-King and headline king Jason “Jah” Lee preview a packed episode spanning race, politics, the music industry, Target backlash, Atlanta culture, mental health, viral scammers, CTE, and celebrity news [ 00:44 ]. Joined by super producer A-King and Jason “Jah” Lee, the crew recaps a recent night out in Atlanta [ 04:18 ], including a showcase curated by Nyla Simone and Generation Now’s Honor Roll that puts the spotlight on emerging rap talent [ 05:16 ]. That leads into a larger conversation about the realities of music industry economics, touring costs, artist development, and why R&B tours are increasingly difficult to sustain [ 11:24 ]. For his “Ignorant Take,” Jah recounts appearing on CNN alongside conservative political operative Janelle King [14:26 ], where a debate over a Kehinde Wiley painting displayed at a U.S. embassy turns into a larger argument about masculinity, race, art, and Confederate monuments [ 16:45 ]. Jah then shares some of the off-camera conversation from the green room as the crew discusses political messaging and voting rights [ 22:27 ], including questions surrounding mail ballot eligibility and access [ 24:47 ] and the tension that remained behind the scenes after the televised exchange [ 25:27 ]. Mandii’s own “Ignorant Thought” shifts the conversation to a Braves game in Cobb County, where the racial makeup of the crowd and noticeably relaxed stadium security lead to a discussion about race, safety, and privilege [ 27:18 ]. The hosts revisit the Braves’ relocation from Atlanta to Cobb County and what that move represented culturally and geographically [ 30:38 ], while Mandii reflects on how often race becomes part of the mental calculation Black people make while navigating public spaces [ 32:28 ]. Her experience sparks a broader conversation about white privilege and the freedom to move through certain environments without the same level of vigilance [ 35:52 ], before the crew asks why baseball—and the crowds surrounding it—can still feel disconnected from Black culture [ 40:32 ]. In “This Is America,” the hosts react to Target pulling a children’s clown costume after criticism that its design resembled blackface, along with the subsequent apology and backlash [ 44:33 ]. As Viola Davis’ response to Targetenters the conversation, the crew questions whether consumers consistently follow through on corporate boycotts when convenience becomes more important than principle [ 52:40 ]. They revisit the controversy surrounding an old Drake blackface image [ 54:39 ] to examine context, consistency, and selective outrage [ 58:19 ], ultimately asking where boycotts should begin, where they should end, and what meaningful consumer accountability actually looks like [01:00:38 ]. The conversation turns heavier with the fatal Atlanta BeltLine stabbing, involving a man reportedly experiencing psychosis [ 01:01:48 ]. The crew considers the family’s concerns about systemic mental-health failures, access to treatment, and what happens when people in crisis fall through the cracks [ 01:04:40 ], while wrestling with one of the most difficult questions surrounding public mental-health emergencies: how can family members, bystanders, and communities intervene safely before someone gets hurt? [ 01:10:14 ] From there, the episode pivots to an alleged NFL catfishing scheme involving Javon Love, who is reportedly under FBI investigation after accusations that he posed as a professional football player to scam victims [ 01:13:01 ]. The story prompts a deeper look at why people fall for grifters, scammers, fake identities, and status-driven deception [01:20:00 ] before the crew tackles another viral controversy involving former NBA player TJ Ford’s criticism of a Druski CTE skit [ 01:23:21 ]. They debate where empathy and personal choice fit into comedy involving serious medical conditions [ 01:25:28 ], while breaking down Druski’s use of satire and whether audiences are sometimes too quick to interpret comedic characters literally [ 01:26:53 ]. The final stretch moves into sports, wealth, and philanthropy with news surrounding new San Diego Padres owner Kwanza Jones [ 01:32:16 ]. Her reported $20 million donation to Princeton and feelings of being overlooked by the university spark a conversation about recognition, institutional respect, and what people expect when contributing significant money [ 01:33:22 ]. The crew examines the relationship between respect and spending power [ 01:37:00 ], questioning whether navigating elite institutions is strategic “3D chess” or a form of assimilation [ 01:39:33 ]. That ultimately leads to a bigger question about where Black wealth, philanthropy, and major donations can have the greatest impact [ 01:45:35 ] before Mandii, A-King, and Jah close out Episode 79 with final thoughts and a reminder to stay safe [ 01:49:23 ].

Season 40: America's 250th Anniversary. Fifty states. Fifty crimes. Two hundred and fifty years of Americanhistory, told through the true crime cases that other shows leave behind.New Mexico, 1892. A former sheriff walks into the dark with a man he trusts and never comes home. Illinois, 1871.A former Secretary of State steps off his porch for a midnight train and is shot dead in the street. Both menserved their communities. Both were killed for it. Both were largely forgotten — until now. This is historical truecrime, and tonight both cases are about what happens when political power turns lethal.Case A: Francisco Chavez and the Santa Fe RingFrancisco Chavez was born around 1851 in New Mexico Territory, the son of a family that had shaped this regionfor generations before the American flag flew over Santa Fe's plaza. He was Hispanic, a nuevomexicano, and hebecame sheriff of Santa Fe County at a time when the territory's government had been captured by the Santa FeRing — an informal network of Anglo-American lawyers, politicians, and land speculators who exploited Spanishand Mexican land grants to strip Hispanic families of land they had occupied for generations.At the center of the Ring stood Thomas Catron, a Confederate veteran and Missouri lawyer who arrived in NewMexico in 1866. By the 1890s, Catron had acquired interests in thirty-four land grants totaling approximatelythree million acres — making him, by most accounts, the largest private landowner in the United States. He hadserved as district attorney, territorial attorney general, and U.S. attorney. He owned the territory as surely asanyone could.Chavez stood against him. Historian Tobias Duran, writing in the New Mexico Historical Review, called Chavez aformidable foe of the Santa Fe Ring. He was the rare Hispanic Democrat using the blunt authority of the sheriff'soffice to push back against the most powerful men in the territory.On the night of May 29, 1892, Chavez was lured from a Santa Fe bar by a man named Atilano Gold — someonehe trusted. Gold walked him toward the Guadalupe bridge, near the Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe,the oldest shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe in the United States. Armed men waited behind a telegraph pole.Chavez was shot multiple times. His last words, spoken in Spanish, were that brutes had assassinated him.Four men were indicted: Francisco Gonzales y Borrego, his brother Antonio, Laureano Alarid, and PatricioValencia. Their defense attorney was Thomas Catron — the man widely suspected of ordering the murder,now defending the accused killers. The prosecution's key witness, Juan Gallegos, testified that a $700 paymenthad been offered through intermediaries for Chavez's death. Judge Seeds ruled that he did not believe Catronpersonally made the offer, but accepted the conspiracy existed. That distinction shielded Catron from criminalliability.All four defendants were convicted and sentenced to death. Appeals dragged on for nearly five years. On April2, 1897, they were hanged simultaneously at the Santa Fe jail grounds. Forty-five National Guard soldiers werepresent. At 9:09 AM, the trap bolt was drawn. Three necks broke on impact. Patricio Valencia strangled for threeto four minutes before he died.Thomas Catron was never charged. When New Mexico achieved statehood in 1912, the territory he had helpedplunder elected him as one of its first two United States Senators. He died in 1921. A former senator. Nevercharged. Never tried.Case B: Sharon Tyndale and the Seal That Outlasted HimSharon Tyndale was born in Philadelphia on January 19, 1816. He arrived in Belleville, Illinois in 1833 — the sameyear Chicago was incorporated as a town — and spent the next three decades building railroads and building acareer. Abraham Lincoln personally appointed him Postmaster of Belleville in 1861. When Lincoln was assassinatedin 1865, Tyndale was among the committee members who received the president's coffin in Springfield. He wasone of the original fifteen members of the National Lincoln Monument Association, the group that built Lincoln'stomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.In 1865, Tyndale was elected Illinois Secretary of State. His younger brother Hector had bled for the Union atAntietam, was promoted to brigadier general, and was later breveted major general for gallantry. The family'sloyalty to the Union was bone-deep.In 1867, the Illinois legislature authorized a new state seal. Tyndale proposed reversing the state motto from "StateSovereignty, National Union" to "National Union, State Sovereignty." The Civil War had settled that question withblood. The Senate rejected his proposal. So the legislature gave him the wording and handed him the design.Tyndale kept the words in their mandated order. But he designed the banner in the eagle's beak to twist, placingthe word "Sovereignty" upside down. The seal entered use in 1868. More than a hundred and fifty years later, theword "Sovereignty" still hangs inverted on the Great Seal of the State of Illinois.On April 29, 1871, two years after leaving office, Tyndale walked out of his home on Adams Street in Springfieldjust after one in the morning, heading to the Chicago & Alton railroad station for a 1:50 AM train. On the darkstreet, steps from his own front door, someone clubbed him to the ground and shot him behind the right ear witha single-shot Derringer — the same type of weapon used to kill Abraham Lincoln six years earlier. His $50 walletwas taken. His gold watch was not. His killer was never identified.A five-thousand-dollar reward went unclaimed. Four theories competed — robbery, romantic entanglement,political enemies, railroad business dispute — and the competition destroyed the investigation. The 1929 IllinoisState Journal concluded the welter of possible motives had hindered the case. No arrest was ever made.The seal lives on. Every official document issued by the State of Illinois, every state flag that flies over Springfield,still carries the handiwork of a man who was murdered two years after completing it.Our Sponsors:* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Top federal prosecutors from the Four Corner states are descending upon the Phoenix metro this week as part of an annual conference meant to tackle crime and justice in Indian Country. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has details. A hotel room full of victim advocates, attorneys, and tribal law enforcement personnel congregate in Glendale. Arizona's top prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Timothy Courchaine, reminds them why they are all meeting. “It may sound like priorities are elsewhere in this administration, but all of the U.S. attorneys up here and every member of leadership in the Department of Justice will tell you: Indian Country is always a priority.” From Phoenix and Albuquerque to Denver and Salt Lake City, Courchaine stresses they are all on the same team. “If you work with a rural tribe, whether it's in Utah, Colorado, New Mexico or Arizona, it might feel like you are at the ends of the earth.” Three cubs belonging to Osso in the Anan Wildlife Observatory at Tongass National Forest. (Courtesy U.S. Forest Service / Facebook) A major logging project planned for Alaska's Tongass National Forest is raising concerns about potential impacts to subsistence resources. The U.S. Forest Service acknowledges the project could affect deer harvests relied on by communities in Southeast Alaska, where the Tongass has long supported Alaska Native cultural and subsistence practices. Conservationists are now pushing back against plans to log thousands of acres of old-growth forest, as Mark Moran reports. Conservationists are pushing back on a massive old growth logging plan by the Forest Service that would carve new roads through thousands of acres of Alaska’s Tongass National Forest. The agency says it will revitalize the logging industry and improve habitat and ecosystems for native species. The Revilla Integrated Research Project aims to log 4,000 acres of old growth trees in the Tongass near Ketchikan, harvest 83 million board feet of timber, and build more than 40 miles of roadway. Southeast Alaska Conservation Council’s Nathan Newcomber says the development plan threatens the habitat of a number of animals. He says even the Forest Service has acknowledged the risk. “Deer, bears, wolves, birds like the Queen Charlie Goshawk. They also state that they acknowledge the significant likelihood of impact to subsistence, including on deer harvest.” There were at least 120 objections to the plan during a public comment period, but the Forest Service says it intends to begin the work and address legal challenges later. Southeast Alaska has been transitioning away from clear cutting old tree stands in favor of what’s known as young growth logging, which Newcomber and other environmental advocates support, even though the practice now comprises only about one percent of the region’s economy. “To go back to this bygone era from the 1970s where you just clear-cut landscapes, it makes absolutely no sense. Nobody supports it apart from extractive industry and politicians. But local communities in Southeast Alaska, they wanna protect what we have. It’s our cultural way of life. It’s the way that people live up here.” Southeast Alaska is also highly dependent on tourism to support local economies. Driven largely by cruise ship traffic, the region sees as many as two million visitors a year, according to Alaska’s Southeast Conference. Confederate Brig. Gen. William L.. Cabell, left, and Union Col. William F. Cloud led troops during the skirmish. And on this day in 1863, fighting broke out near Camp Pike in the Choctaw Nation, in what is now Oklahoma. The skirmish came during the Civil War, when Indian Territory became a battleground involving Union and Confederate forces. Camp Pike had been used by Confederate troops following the Battle of Honey Springs, one of the war's largest battles in Indian Territory. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

 Reparations were promised to Newley freed slaves in 1865. They were promised 400,000 acres confiscated Confederate land the coasts of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. That equated to 40 acres per family. Each family was also supposed to get one mule to help them work the farming land. While they never received that, Black people in America have fought the effects of long standing white supremacy in the United States, while the country has failed to atone for its ongoing sins. Jesse Watters tried to back Senate hopeful l Dr. Abdul El-Sayed into a corner on the topic and failed.

Exclusive interview with the third-great-grandson of Confederate officer and former U.S. Senator James Z. George,  Charles Sims, who returns to Ocean Springs, Mississippi for a public gathering centered on listening, compassion, historical responsibility and community healing in the wake of Nolan Wells' death.  

In late August 1619, twenty or more enslaved Africans arrived in Virginia at what's now called Fort Monroe. They were the first Africans documented in British North America. Fort Monroe's Park Superintendent Terry Brown recalls how America commemorated their arrival 407 years later. And: We hear from the Tuckers, the descendants of the very first African-American baby, about their work to uncover the stories of their ancestors. Plus: Poet Synnika Lofton reflects on 1619 and shares how he channels his political thoughts into art. Later in the show: When Ana Edwards first heard the story of Gabriel, an enslaved blacksmith who attempted a rebellion in Richmond, Virginia, she knew she needed to share it. She says new efforts to commemorate the lives and rebellions of enslaved people in the former Confederate capital are reshaping Richmond today. And: Richmond poet Joshua Poteat tells how he has been inspired by Gabriel's story. Poteat has been writer in residence at William & Mary and a visiting writer at Virginia Commonwealth University.

W. Fitzhugh Brundage, author of A Fate Worse Than Hell: American Prisoners of the Civil War, Part One: The narrative begins with the January 1863 capture of the Union gunboat Isaac Smith and three Black sailors. The Confederacy's refusal to exchange these Black captives, coupled with the Lincoln administration's retaliation, triggered the collapse of the systematic prisoner exchange system under the 1862 Dix-Hill Cartel. Consequently, both sides had to manage massive, long-term prison populations. The book examines the key military figures overseeing these networks: the Confederate martinet John Winder, who turned Richmond's tobacco warehouses like Libby Prison into harsh detention hubs, and the Union's budget-conscious bureaucrat William Hoffman. Finally, Brundage explains the Lieber Code's role in defining humane warfare, noting how its "military necessity" clause compromised prisoner treatment. (1)

W. Fitzhugh Brundage, Part Two: The suspension of exchanges leads to massive prisoner concentrations. This is illustrated by a grueling transport to Andersonville, a Georgia camp built to relieve Richmond's strained supplies, and the Union's equally harsh sand spit camp at Point Lookout, Maryland. Conditions at Andersonville deteriorated catastrophically, with over 100 prisoners dying daily due to exposure, famine, and water supply contamination. Brundage highlights the experiences of Black captives like Isaac Gaskins, who were enslaved as forced Confederate laborers. After the war, camp commandant Henry Wirz was executed for war crimes, and Clara Barton helped identify 13,000 Union dead at Andersonville to establish a national cemetery. (2)

This week, Chino, Homeboy and the crew go from family drama and dating etiquette straight into the glorious logistical nightmare that is the United States military.After debating what kids should call stepparents, whether ghosting somebody is ever justified, and accidentally starting beef between Chino and ChatGPT, we get into the real meat of the episode: **the Navy, military logistics, shipboard conditions, aircraft carriers, destroyers, and what happens when the people making military decisions don't understand the machinery underneath them.**How much piss and shit do 5,000 sailors generate aboard an aircraft carrier? Why can't sailors just throw a bucket over the side? Why do Navy ships sometimes look rusty as hell? Why are maintenance facilities and dry docks just as important as billion-dollar warships?Then we get into Trump's obsession with returning aircraft carriers to steam catapults, the proposed new battleship concept, the insane cost difference between battleships and destroyers, and why adding another nuclear-powered class of warship could create an even bigger maintenance and logistics headache.We also talk about the attempted renaming of the USS Doris Miller, why Miller's actions at Pearl Harbor deserve another look for the Medal of Honor, the Tuskegee Airmen, forgotten Black military valor, Staff Sergeant Melvin Morris, and how racism repeatedly denied American servicemembers the recognition they earned.Plus: air traffic controllers with nerves of steel, gamers replacing experienced controllers, Confederate logistics failures, Navy sea stories, the weekly Deadpool, Silver King somehow dying seven years late, and why ChatGPT apparently has enough personality to catch a fade in the parking lot.It's the **Chino & Homeboy Podcast**: military history, politics, weed, terrible ideas, surprisingly serious discussions, and several conversations that absolutely did not begin where they ended.**TIMECODES**00:00 — Intro01:30 — Stepparents, kids & family boundaries18:23 — Captain Crunch gets stabbed22:13 — Ghosting, dating & catfishing32:57 — The Philippines incest claim gets fact-checked46:27 — Military politics: Hegseth & Vance49:40 — Navy bathrooms & shipboard living conditions59:22 — How much waste does an aircraft carrier produce?1:04:04 — Trump, steam catapults & aircraft carriers1:09:25 — Battleships, destroyers & Navy logistics1:21:23 — Doris Miller & overlooked military valor1:27:05 — Tuskegee Airmen & racism in military history1:38:15 — Air traffic control close call & Navy sea stories1:45:16 — Gamers, air traffic controllers & training standards1:51:09 — Why logistics wins wars1:56:11 — Rusty Navy ships, maintenance & readiness2:06:04 — Forgotten Black military heroes2:10:01 — The Deadpool2:28:11 — Movies, sports & closing bullshit2:33:45 — Outro#ChinoAndHomeboy #ComedyPodcast #LatinoPodcast #FilipinoPodcast #Looksmaxing #OnlyFans #PodcastClips #DarkComedy #InternetCulture #18PlusComedy #Drake #BadBunny #TaylorSwift #FilipinoCulture #SpiderFighting

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!Standing just steps from the battlefield in Gettysburg, the The Historic Farnsworth House Inn remains a powerful reminder of the violence and sorrow tied to the Civil War. Built in 1810 and expanded in 1833, the home became a strategic refuge for Confederate sharpshooters during the Battle of Gettysburg, leaving its walls riddled with more than 100 bullet holes that remain visible today.Among the many tragedies associated with the battle is the death of Mary Virginia "Jennie" Wade, the only civilian killed during the fighting—an event some believe may be linked to gunfire originating from or near the house. After the battle, the Farnsworth House served as a makeshift hospital, adding another layer of suffering to its history.We explore the dark history and reported hauntings of the Farnsworth House Inn—a place where the echoes of war still seem to linger long after the guns fell silent.#TheGraveTalks #FarnsworthHouse #HauntedGettysburg #CivilWarHauntings #ParanormalPodcast #HistoricHauntings #GettysburgGhosts #HistoryandHaunting #ParanormalActivity #HauntingsLove real ghost stories?

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King and Jason “Jah” Lee for another unpredictable mix of current events, culture, crime, politics, technology, religion, and internet debates. After previewing the week’s biggest stories [ 00:45 ], the crew settles in with some signature banter about generational differences and everyday life [ 02:52 ], including the frustrations of Atlanta parking and navigating the city [ 07:27]. Things get even more personal when they debate airport pickup etiquette, friendship expectations, and exactly how much inconvenience a real friend should be willing to endure [ 14:53 ]. In “This Is America,” the conversation turns serious with the case of Memphis mother Kendra Scott, who was charged with first-degree murder and a firearm offense after 20-year-old Rodarius Morton was found in her 13-year-old daughter’s bedroom and fatally shot as he was leaving [ 20:21 ]. The crew examines the complicated circumstances surrounding the case, including reports concerning Morton’s learning disabilities and questions about Tennessee consent laws, culpability, parental protection, and legal nuance [ 21:43 ]. They then wrestle with the emotional aftermath, potential guilt, and the role of gun laws and split-second decision-making [ 32:27 ], before extending the debate to another scenario involving a porch shooting and the boundaries of self-defense [ 34:09 ]. The episode then shifts to healthcare after discussing Cassandra Barksdale, a Georgia woman who says she underwent an unnecessary hysterectomy after Kaiser Permanente mistakenly identified her biopsy as aggressive uterine cancer [ 34:34 ]. The hosts react to the devastating consequences of the reported medical mix-up [ 37:18 ] and emphasize the potentially life-changing importance of seeking second opinions when facing major diagnoses and irreversible procedures [ 41:33 ]. From healthcare, the crew moves into money and technology with a discussion about the federal push toward cryptocurrency regulation [ 42:45 ]. They debate the risks and usefulness of digital currencies, including how crypto can become an alternative when traditional banks and payment processors restrict transactions connected to sex work and other industries [ 48:18 ]. That leads into a broader—and characteristically heated—conversation about the service industry, consumer expectations, money, and the frustrations surrounding modern customer service [53:19 ]. The political conversation picks up with reactions to anti-Muslim backlash surrounding New York City Mayor Zalmay Mandami and his participation in 9/11 memorial events [ 01:01:39 ]. The crew examines rhetoric surrounding Muslim identity and so-called “foreign-sounding” names [ 01:07:34 ], before discussing how names can influence racial, religious, and cultural perceptions in political campaigns [ 01:09:36 ]. A conversation involving ChatGPT and perceptions of Muslim names follows [ 01:12:49 ], leading to a debate about whether changing or Americanizing names can alter how people are treated [ 01:15:32 ]. The hosts then react to Rep. Nancy Mace’s comments about Islam [ 01:16:50 ], broadening the conversation into what travel and exposure to different cultures can teach people about religion [ 01:20:19 ] and the shared Abrahamic roots of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam amid continuing racism and religious prejudice [ 01:23:41 ].

They begin building their own tongue-in-cheek list of examples [ 01:27:57 ], discussing figures from entertainment, music, and sports before landing on Paul Wall and a conversation surrounding the Confederate flag [ 01:37:53 ]. A final detour into a Drake tour rumor brings the main episode toward its conclusion [ 01:40:54 ], before the crew previews what’s coming next on the bonus episode [ 01:41:51 ]. From crime and medical accountability to cryptocurrency, Islamophobia, cultural identity, and appropriation, Selective Ignorance once again finds humor, disagreement, and deeper questions inside some of the week’s most complicated conversations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Franklin, Tennessee, a small piece of lead sits behind glass. A surgeon removed it from the skull of Tod Carter, a Confederate soldier who survived imprisonment, escaped from a moving train, traveled hundreds of miles to rejoin his regiment—and then fell just 200 yards from his childhood home during one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. His family found him alive the next morning and carried him into the bedroom where he'd grown up. He died there two days later. For more than a century, visitors have claimed Tod never really left. Tonight, we explore the Battle of Franklin, the haunted Carter House, and a question that still divides the town: when a place has witnessed unimaginable suffering, where does history end and the ghost story begin?

September 17, 1862, was the bloodiest day in the history of the United States. In just 12 hours, 22,726 people were killed, wounded, or went missing just outside of Sharpsburg, Maryland, in one of the largest battles of the US Civil War. Despite ending in a draw, the Union's ability to hold off the Confederates was a major win, with significant political ramifications that helped shift the course of the conflict.

We talk with Waycross, Georgia Mayor Michel-Angelo James about the long road that led him to city hall, from a fragile start in infancy to decades of ministry, teaching, and steady community work that rarely makes headlines.We get personal about the building blocks of leadership: family traditions, pride in military service, the mentors who shaped his faith, and why he believes lifelong learning is a civic duty as much as a personal goal. Along the way, he shares how journaling and self-assessment sharpen decision-making, and why prayer remains his anchor when responsibility piles up.Then we dig into the real mechanics of local government and community development in Waycross. He explains what a mayor can actually control in a manager-council system, what it means to be “public property,” and why government progress often feels slow even when the work is moving. We also cover downtown revitalization, small business support, housing growth, rail crossings and overpass plans, and how his Mayor's Youth Council gives students hands-on civics through a meeting simulation behind the dais. We close with a thoughtful look at navigating contentious issues, including the Confederate monument debate, without losing the community in the process.If you care about civic engagement, local leadership, and practical ways to strengthen your hometown, listen through to the end, then subscribe, share this with a neighbor, and leave a review with the one issue you think your city should tackle next.Beyond The BeaconJoin Bishop Kevin Sweeney for inspired interviews with Catholics living out our faith!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showThanks for listening!  Keep on Striving!Don't Forget to leave a review and rating.  Let us know your thoughts about the episode.  You can also follow on the following:YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@thejacksonhowellpodcastFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/TheJacksonHowellPodcastTik Tokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thejacksonhowellpodcastInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jacksonhowell5/

Across the defeated Confederacy, there had been an expectation that those who had taken up arms against their citizens would be punished. This did not happen however and instead ex-Confederates were gradually brought back into the fold. Decades later, they managed to cultivate a dangerous mythology that obscured the truth about the nature of the Confederacy and the Civil War in general...Our guest today is Brigadier General Ty Seidule, Professor Emeritus of History at West Point and teaches at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York.

A.B. Farquhar would go on to be an advisor to President Cleveland and run his successful non consecutive re election campaign. But prior to that, he was part of a plan to sell out to Confederate army before they reached York and possibly destroy it. For this he'd get some infamy, until Abraham Lincoln stepped in.

What Does the Confederacy's Legacy Mean for the Modern South and Christian America?   Host Curtis Chang and New York Times columnist, and Good Faith podcast "founding friend," David French confront the enduring power of the Confederate myth. David reflects on growing up as a white Southerner in a culture shaped by Confederate symbols, revisionist history, racial injustice, and a deeply rooted shame-and-honor code. Curtis, a Chinese American immigrant, brings an outsider's perspective that challenges familiar assumptions about heritage, memory, and belonging. Together, they examine Confederate monuments, the theological defenses of slavery, the meaning of "heritage, not hate," and whether honest historical reckoning can lead to redemption and reconciliation.   02:51 - Curtis Congratulates David on the Birth of His Latest Grandchild 05:54 - Why Does the Confederacy Still Matter? 10:12 - The South's Distinct Cultural Cohesion 22:19 - "Heritage, Not Hate": A White Southern Perspective 29:52 - Race, Religion, and Revisionism in the South 42:13 - The Resurgence of Explicit Racism 47:20 - What to Do with Confederate Memorials 56:32 - Repenting of Southern Shame-Honor Culture 01:01:32 - Institutions Founded on Injustice Can Carry Spiritual Darkness   Sign up for The After Party Informational Webinars Sign up for The Good List   Mentioned in This Episode: Learn about the Tulsa Race Massacre Learn about The Great Migration Watch MLK50 Conference (video) More about General George H.
