Welcome back to 50Talk. Cathy and I are thrilled to be back with yo guys again for two consecutive weeks. I know you all think that's not a big deal but it is to me (Victor). We have been having some good numbers for the past month or so and that was no different last week. We really do appreciate you guys for supporting and listening to us. Before we get to far into things I had to bring up the Trump trial and what happened today and also on Monday. These Senators and Congressmen and women showing up to support this career criminal con-man Donald Trump. I think it's disgusting and it has to be some kind of ethics violation for these people. I hate to be that guy but "what if it was Biden or Obama" who was on trial for whatever? Would it be okay for Democratic politicians to be there supporting the? We can't have it both ways.The thief who took part in the stealing and dismantling of the Jackie Robinson Trophy in Wichita, Kansas was in court last week. The Prosecutor's are looking at charging him with 15 years in prison and $42,000 in restitution. Hopefully my next update will be him being sent to prison for his crime.In Shenandoah County,Virginia (close to Charlottesville) two schools in the area have changed their mind  about taking former Confederate soldiers names off of those schools. Almost three years after the change and almost $1m of taxpayer money they are  bringing those Confederate Soldiers names back  to those schools. Why you ask? Good question, I'm still trying to figure it out to.The piece of crap kid from Ole Miss last week who shouted down an African American woman with monkey sounds got what he is due. James (JP) Staples has been removed from school and from his fraternity. Good for him! Our main topic of the week is the Police killing of U.S. Airmen Roger Fortson (23) in his apartment, which may have been the wrong apartment the police responded to the family is saying. He did come to the dor with a gun in his hand aimed down towards the ground and his finger was not on the trigger. This sparked a lot of emotion in both of us and we are still wondering why this had to happen. Just seems like black people aren't supposed to have guns or something. Listen to the discussion and tell me your thoughts. Please let me know what a "domestic dispute" really is.Please go to: Vote.org and check the status of your voter registration. Their is so much you can do their and please check it monthly leading up to the election. People are being removed daily from the voter roles so keep an eye on it  leading up to the election. Thank you for joining us this week and join us again next week for Episode 107.

Amazing Belle Boyd shows the power of flowers. Taken from Brave Deeds if Confederate Soldiers.

Tori heads back to Cleveland again for LakeView Cemetery on 12316 Euclid Ave. This privately owned cemetery was founded in 1869 and has several famous residents. Some of the folks interred here are James A. Garfield, John D Rockafeller, and the untouchable himself Eliot Ness. This is also the home to the Hauserot Angel statue. This statue is straight out of Doctor Who, literally a weeping angel. This boneyard is apparently the site of an epic chess game with tombstones as well. Cue the next LakeView Cemetery in Seattle Washington. This boneyard is the resting place of the epic Bruce and Brandon Lee, as well as the Nisei Monument, and the only Confederate Soldiers monument in the PNW. This is also the resting place of Princess Angeline a.k.a. Kikisoblu who was the daughter of Chief Sealth and her disappearing/ reappearing ghost. Krysti covers Liberty Hall in Frankfort, Kentucky. This was the home of Kentucky senator John Brown in 1801. Add in a vanishing opera singer, a dead soldier from the War of 1812, and a trope worthy Gray Lady. The soldier is a pervy ghost and the Gray Lady seems to be attributed to Margarette Varick. This historic house has ghost tours to this day, so if ever you find yourself in Frankfort, give them a look see. Our Sources: Lakeviewcemetery.com, onlyinyourstate.com, Weird Ohio, cleveland.com, capitolhillseattle.com, seattleterrors.com, Weird Kentucky, Libertyhall.org, Kentuckyhauntedhouses.com, Visitfrankfort.com, Explorekyhistory.ky.gov, onlyinyourstate.comOur theme music: “Danse Macabre - Busy Strings" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/trendylobotomypodcast Find us at FB/Instagram @TrendyLobotomyPod and at Twitter @TrendyPod as well as our blog trendylobotomypodcast.blogspot.com Support the show

An honor guard fires rifle volleys April 24 — Confederate Decoration Day — to salute the soldiers buried in San Antonio's Confederate Cemetery. The event also marked the 30th year that the Confederate Cemetery Association of San Antonio has been taking care of the cemetery, after the city of San Antonio stopped maintaining it.Article Link

Historian and author Prof. Ken Noe talks about his recent book on what motivated ‘late' enlisting men to the Confederates Army during the 1861-65 US Civil War. In the interview, Prof Noe discusses those Confederate volunteers who were so-called ‘late enlisters', those who joined the southern army after the initial surge of volunteers in 1861. He defined this group as enlisting from 1862 to the end of the war and estimated they numbered around 180,000 men. He aims to correct the stereotype that these men were hesitant non-slave owning farmers.…

Kelli Lemon and Pulitzer-Prize winning columnist Michael Paul Williams retrace Richmond, Virginia’s history with Confederate monuments from the monuments being erected, starting in 1890, to their removal in 2022. Lemon and Williams talk about progress made by Black Americans in Richmond in the early 20th century only for it to be thwarted and dismissed with the rise of the monuments. Throughout the 20th century and through today America has seen a backlash and rise between black and white.Support the show: https://richmond.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fort Bragg is set to change its name.   The 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, passed by Congress last year, mandates the renaming of US military bases named after Confederate Soldiers. As a result, these 10 military bases will have a new name in the coming years: Camp Beauregard, Louisiana;  Fort Benning, Georgia; Fort Gordon, Georgia; Fort Hood, Texas; Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia; Fort Lee, Virginia; Fort Pickett, Virginia; Fort Polk, Louisiana; Fort Rucker, Alabama; and Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where this podcast is recorded.   For this episode, Episode 57, Colonel Scott Pence, garrison commander for Fort Bragg, joins host Joe Buccino to explain the process by which a new name will be selected. He also describes how he is soliciting feedback from veterans who've served on Fort Bragg as well as the surrounding community.   Colonel Pence is working closely with the Renaming Commission, an 8-member panel selected by Congress to oversee the process of renaming these 10 bases. In so doing, he seeks feedback from you, the listener. All the information you need about the base renaming to inform that feedback is available on this podcast episode.     We're releasing this episode on Tuesday, September 7th. In the days and weeks to come, we'll provide more information on the official 18th Airborne Corps Facebook page (@ftbragg18abn) regarding how you can submit a name for consideration to replace "Fort Bragg."   You can also propose a name for any of the 10 selected bases through the official site of the Renaming Commission: https://www.thenamingcommission.gov/.   Thanks for listening. Please pass this podcast episode on to anyone interested in this process.      

Avery from Battles and Banter podcast joins us as we roast three of the Confederacy's biggest scumbags. From generals, to guerilla hillbillies, to dimwitted grey-coat saboteurs we plow through Dixie Land's worst like General Sherman's trip to the Waffle House.

In this episode we are joined by the awesome YouTube channel host from Tipsyfish history to walk us through a complicated and controversial topic involving modern history and that is why did non slave owners support and fight for the Confederacy? It is easy to understand and see why slave owners would be concerned about the threat, real or imagined, that Lincoln and the growing abolitionist movement posed to slavery. But what about those Southerners who did not own slaves? What about the lower class in the Confederate States? Why would they risk their livelihoods by leaving the United States and pledging allegiance to a new nation grounded in the proposition that all men are not created free or equal, a nation established and founded to preserve a type of property that they did not own? Why did people who couldn't afford slaves support a slave society and economy? Did non slave owners benefit from slavery? Was state nationalism a contributing factor in their decisions to fight and oftentimes die in a conflict that revolved around the enslavement of human beings? In this episode these questions are addressed and much more as Aster describes the motivations that drove non-slaveholding white Southerners to fight for the Confederacy and to protect slavery.

More than 150 years after the end of the Civil War, scores of websites, articles, and organizations repeat claims that anywhere between 500 and 100,000 free and enslaved African Americans fought willingly as soldiers in the Confederate army. But as Kevin M. Levin argues in this carefully researched book, such claims would have shocked anyone who served in the army during the war itself. Levin explains that imprecise contemporary accounts, poorly understood primary-source material, and other misrepresentations helped fuel the rise of the black Confederate myth. Moreover, Levin shows that belief in the existence of black Confederate soldiers largely originated in the 1970s, a period that witnessed both a significant shift in how Americans remembered the Civil War and a rising backlash against African Americans' gains in civil rights and other realms. Levin also investigates the roles that African Americans actually performed in the Confederate army, including personal body servants and forced laborers. He demonstrates that regardless of the dangers these men faced in camp, on the march, and on the battlefield, their legal status remained unchanged. Even long after the guns fell silent, Confederate veterans and other writers remembered these men as former slaves and not as soldiers, an important reminder that how the war is remembered often runs counter to history. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antiquity-middlages/support

"Today on our journey up the Natchez Trace Parkway from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee we are visiting the TUPELO VISITOR CENTER, which also houses the parkway headquarters. "Outside the center there's a half mile loop trail, the BEECH SPRING TRAIL. This gentle grade trail passes through an area of forest regrowth. Inside the center there is an orientation program as well as exhibits that take visitors from ancient times through Indian and white man settlements up to modern times. You can see Indian artifacts recovered from within the park boundaries, along with exhibits of equipment used by pioneers and Kaintucks in the 1800s. There's also a scale model of a flat boat like those the boatmen used to float their products down the Mississippi River to Natchez and New Orleans. "The visitor center is the best place to purchase books about the history of the Natchez Trace and about the Indians who first lived here, and about local and regional history around Civil War times. And of course there's a ranger on duty to answer questions about the Old Trace and the parkway. "Join us next time when we will visit the graves of 13 unknown Confederate Soldiers. For Natchez Trace a road through the wilderness, I'm Frank Thomas." For more about Natchez Trace: A Road Through the Wilderness, visit eddieandfrank.com

Good morning, RVA! It’s 74 °F, and today you get more of the same. Expect highs in the 90s, humidity, and probably no rain. Water those plants—I bet they’re thirsty.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 635↗️ new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealth and 24↗️ new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 52↗️ new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 19, Henrico: 13, and Richmond: 20). Since this pandemic began, 253 people have died in the Richmond region. I don’t think I can replicate VDH’s Number of Cases by Date of Symptom Onset graph with the data I’ve got, but its an interesting chart worth looking at. Since, I think, they’re backfilling new cases to the date symptoms began you get a little bit of a different picture than the straight graph of new reported positive cases. Remember that data further toward the right side of the graph will likely change as they find new cases and stick them in their appropriate spot. Maybe the former graph shows a more marked increase in cases over the last two, three weeks? Maybe not? Regardless, both graphs do show an increase in new cases since about the middle of June while percent positivity has stayed mostly flat or gone down a couple tenths of a percent since then. I keep feeling like one more day of data will expose some sort of trend, but that just never seems to be the case!The Mayor’s very thorough warehousing of our city’s Confederate monuments continues! Yesterday he had the mass-produced man atop the Confederate Soldiers and Sailors monument mothballedand got crews to clean up the remaining bronze bits of the Jefferson Davis monument. However! Mark Robinson at the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that an anonymous person filed a lawsuit earlier this week asking “among other things, that a judge bar Stoney from ordering or authorizing any further removals.” As of 12 hours ago a hearing had not been scheduled, so I imagine the takedowns will continue throughout this week until a judge orders otherwise. Honestly, this lawsuit, and whichever ones that follow, seem like a waste of everyone’s time. Council will vote to get rid of the monuments on August 3rd, just 25 days from now and in line with the dumb and required State process, regardless of what a court decides about this particular lawsuit.Yasmine Jumaa at VPM has an update on the state of evictions in the Richmond region. While some folks living in some properties are protected from eviction for at least a little while longer due to the federal CARES act, the reality seems much more technical and confusing. For example: “Marra added that renters facing eviction in protected properties would need to file a motion to get their case dismissed, on the basis that a judge heard and granted an eviction before they were allowed to under the federal protection. Marra said tenants would have to act fast, because they only have 10 days to appeal these eviction judgements once they’re granted by a judge.” “File a motion” is, I feel, not something that the average person knows how to go about doing in the middle of a pandemic. Also, if you really want to get angry this morning, keep reading to learn about Seminole Trail Management, LLC who received millions of dollars of federal PPP money yet has filed 92 evictions at one apartment complex on Richmond’s Southside.Tonight at 6:00 PM the Richmond School Board will meet to discuss (not vote on!) two different plans to reopen schools. You can watch the meeting live over on RPS’s Facebook. The two options on the table are Plan A and Plan B. The first, Plan A, includes a fully virtual option, a two days in-person and three days virtual instruction option, and five days of in-person instruction for students with greater academic needs. The second, Plan B, includes a fully virtual option and a fully in-person option. I’ll be tuning in to learn more tonight, but, at this point, I’m leaning toward Plan B. With both options, RPS will need to figure out procedures and policies to keep teachers and adults (who are much more likely to catch and spread the virus) safe in reopened schools. That will not be an easy, cheap, or trivial task. With both options, teachers are asked to prepare fully virtual versions of their work. Also not an easy, cheap, or trivial task. My main thing is: I just don’t see how Plan A, which keeps kids at home three days out of the week, will allow folks who need to return to work to do so. That will absolutely devastate some families. These are serious choices that will involve serious trade offs, and I hope our leaders—and the RPS community!—are prepared to make thoughtful, informed decisions with a willingness to be flexible as the situation inevitably changes.Also School Board related, 9th District School Board member Linda Owen has withdrawn from the race. In a Facebook post, she said: “I support Nicole Jones in her candidacy for this seat and encourage all others in the district to do the same. I believe she is a strong supporter of our Strategic Plan and the administration’s efforts to continue to improve our schools, leading and teaching with love. I am happy to pass the torch!” I think this leaves two Joneses running unopposed in the 9th District—Mike Jones for City Council and Nicole Jones for School Board. I’m sure that won’t be confusing at all. I don’t have any contact information for Nicole Jones, and would love to update my Big List of Richmond’s 2020 Candidates, so holler at me if you can help.Reminder! The Richmond City/Henrico Health District will host a community COVID-19 testing event today from 9:00–11:00 AM at the Powhatan Community Center (5051 Northampton Street). If you’d like to go get swabbed, make sure you call the hotline first: 804.205.3501. The next testing events will take place on Tuesday, July 14th and Thursday, July 16th.This morning’s longreadStop Building More RoadsThere are a ton of shovel-ready transportation projects in the Richmond region that don’t involve building unnecessary new roads. Extending the Pulse to the airport/Short Pump and the Ashland to Petersburg Trail are just the most obvious two.New Zealand is a global leader in disaster recovery, having recently rebuilt sections of the city of Christchurch after an earthquake in 2011. Its greatest lesson was how to set priorities. This year, it is setting out with a Covid-19 “rebuild” plan that begins with shovel-ready investment, to be followed by transformational, generation-defining projects. In New Zealand as well as Australia, those projects include investment in kindergartens, busways, cycleways, urban pedestrian lanes and flood protection improvements. Such short-term, socially oriented projects create the political and economic space to tackle the next, much larger phase.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

In this episode, we chat with educator, historian, and author Kevin M. Levin about his book "Searching for Black Confederates: The Civil War's Most Persistent Myth".To be clear, the discussion wasn't about whether enslaved and free black men were part of the Confederate Army. They were. What is under discussion is the capacity in which they served and the distinction between body servants, camp slaves, and soldiers.We cover quite a bit of ground in this episode, including records, repositories, and archives you can access to research enslaved and free men who were part of the body of the Confederate Army.Join us live every Sunday at 4pm EST via:1. https://listenvision.com/wlvs-radio OR2. https://www.facebook.com/genealogyadventuresusa Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/genealogy-adventures.

Kevin Levin is an award-winning historian and educator whose work has been featured by The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, Wall Street Journal, C-SPAN and NPR. His new book is Searching For Black Confederates: The Civil War's Most Persistent Myth. Levin explains how the Internet has allowed lies and disinformation about American history and the Civil War to spread so easily and the harm that is doing to the country's politics. Levin details why more than 150 years after the end of the Civil War so many people are still not able to accept that white supremacy and slavery were the root causes of why the traitorous Confederacy seceded from the Union. Levin also explains the origins of the myth of Black Confederate Soldiers and what it reveals about historical memory and questions of racial justice and democracy in post-civil rights America. Chauncey DeVega offers some advice about how to stay calm and focused during these tumultuous and chaotic weeks as almost every day it seems there is some “revelation” about the Trump regime's war on democracy and the rule of law. A hint: accept what Donald Trump is and then everything all makes sense – and you don't go crazy. Chauncey also shares some overlooked and very important news items that show how the Trump regime's evil is hurting real people all across America.

Front man Dr. Robert 'Battle Ax' Ornelas shares story on Clara Barton one of the most honorable women recorded in our American History. Clara had a strong desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield during the Civil War alleviating human suffering through her volunteer work and courage. Clara fed soldiers, bandaged up wounds, prayed for her students at a time when women did not have the right to vote. She later organized the American Red Cross to help during times of War and Natural disasters. Clarissa Harlowe Barton will always be recognized as the 'Angel in the Battlefield' a name given by captured Confederate Soldiers for her kindness and mercy while taking care of their needs. "Grateful for the example of such an honorable American woman. Today we have wars on the streets, prisons, war on drugs, and so many different things. I have dedicated my life to stepping into the middle of wars to gather all the wounded so that we can help lead them to our Lord and Savior," said Ornelas --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Author and historian Tom McMillan joins Tim to talk about the Civil War history of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and why it still matters in the 21st Century. If the outcome were different, there could be up to five different countries between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/Gettysburg_-_Why_It_Still_Matters_auphonic.mp3   The American Civil War started in 1861 with the southern states forming the Confederacy and the decision to secede from the United States. The Confederacy won its share of battles as the Union appeared to struggle with strategy, decision-making and leadership By the summer of 1863, Confederate General Robert E. Lee decided to try to capitalize on a eries of Confederate victories and win the war on Northern soil. His goal was to force President Lincoln to negotiate for a quick peace. His route was the Shenandoah Valley, which provided cover for his army, as the union army followed in pursuit. The Confederate force entered Pennsylvania in mid-June, and by the end of the month, it had reached the Susquehanna River near Harrisburg. Federal and Confederate forces would collide at the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on the morning of July 1st. In that first day, the Confederates pushed the Union Army to the west and north of Gettysburg, but could not take some strategic hills that preserved the high ground for the Federals. On the second day, reinforcements arrived for both armies. General Lee decided to attack the growing Union Army, which occupied strong positions in the heights. He paid particular attention to the right and left sides of the Federals, trying to outflank them. But the day ended with no significant change in ground occupation. On the third day, which was July 3rd, the Confederates attacked the Union center at a place known as Cemetery Ridge. This is known as Pickett’s Charge, named after Confederate General George Picket who led the attack. On that day, the Confederates would reach their furthest point in the North during the war. Historians refer to this battle as the time when the Confederates reached High Tide, before retreating south. The battle of Gettysburg was a defeat for Lee and the Confederate Army, but it would be two more years of fighting before the Civil War would come to an end. By the end of the battle of Gettysburg, there were heavy casualties on both sides. Roughly 51,000 soldiers were killed, wounded, captured, or listed as missing. In my own research on the topic, one person described it best. He said that’s 51,000 unique stories, combined with the stories of those who survived or where affected in some way by the Battle of Gettysburg. This is the site of the Wentz House on the Gettysburg battlefield as it looks today. Notice the remnants of its foundation in the left corner. The fighting at Gettysburg has inspired countless books, movies, documentaries and many journal and news articles. The town of Gettysburg remains one of the most popular Civil War destinations for historians, history buffs and tourist. In this episode, Tom and Tim talk about the Battle of Gettysburg and its impact on a small cross-section of people who were there and how their stories still resonate today.

The Civil War is called the war in which brother fought against brother. But few knew of the“Gettysburg Rebels”: the five privates from that very town who moved south to Virginia in the 1850s,joined the Confederate army, and returned home as foreign invaders for the great battle in July 1863.I talk about this story with Tom McMillan, author of Gettysburg Rebels: Five Native Sons Who CameHome to Fight as Confederate Soldiers. It is the story of Gettysburg’s five native sons who abandonedtheir hometown ties to join the Southern cause. But that's not to say they forgot their familiesaltogether. At least one of these soldiers receive a leave of absence to cross enemy lines at night andvisit his family...while in full Confederate uniform.Willing to relinquish familial ties, Henry Wentz, Wesley Culp, and the three Hoffman brothers kepttheir hometown connections hidden from Confederate leaders—a decision that would ultimatelydetermine the fate of the Confederacy.

Two Republican legislators in South Carolina proposed a new monument on the state Capitol grounds to honor Confederate soldiers—this time commemorating black fighting men who went to battle for the South. This idea is both ill-considered and offensive. First, the estimated 6,000 African-Americans who did fight for the Confederacy were mostly slaves, and forced to do so—many deserted when the Confiscation Acts and Emancipation Proclamation offered freedom to those who crossed Union lines. Second, black soldiers represented less than 1 percent of the 750,000 white Confederates—and a tiny fraction of the 200,000 blacks who served the Union military. Finally, it makes no sense to construct new memorials to those who fought against the United States in an effort to destroy our country. Yes, there may be romance and sentiment associated with the South’s “Lost Cause” but conservatives who want support from people of color must unequivocally acknowledge that this Lost Cause deserved to lose.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Confederate soldiers are buried at Arlington National Cemetery! Outrageous!! Should we dig up the almost 500 graves and throw their traitorous remains in a Dumpster? And should we dynamite the Confederate memorial statue there - made by a Confederate sculptor - and sweep the rebel rubble into the dustbin of history? Social Justice Warriors, help me sanitized America!!!!!!!

Peanuts are pretty ubiquitous. Whether roasted, boiled, or as an oil, we consume peanuts in a variety of manners. This nut that is a legume rather than a nut has, over the past 150 years, infiltrated our cultural arena. We throw a ruckus in the peanut gallery while watching A Charlie Brown Christmas, based off of the comic strip Peanuts. And then think to ourselves, “I wouldn’t pay peanuts for such a sad looking Christmas tree.” Well, the peanut, or otherwise known as the gouber pea, ground nut, ground pea, earth-nut, Pindar nut, and ground bean may have entered our cultural slang, but as we can surmise certainly not in a positive way. It is the ubiquitous foods that interest me the most. For what has always been often is not seen or truly known. What is most fascinating, is that a food’s ubiquity is often not happenstance. It’s qualities were often seen by an individual or a group of individuals and put to use often benefiting entire cultures. There are some that conclude that human civilization wouldn’t be what it is today if it wasn’t for the cultivation of grains in the Fertile Crescent, or that the British Empire wouldn’t have existed if not for the introduction of the potato in England. Similar to grains and the potato, the peanut had a vital role to play, and the most fascinating of individuals set the stage. The peanut is native to South America and as it grew in popularity with the Portugese settlers in Brazil, the peanut crisscrossed the Atlantic Ocean along the routes of the Slave Trade. It eventually found a home in Africa and Asia, and in West and Central Africa it became a staple food crop for the citizens appreciated the plants’ resilience. Over the years, as millions of Africans were enslaved and shipped to the United States, they took the peanut along with them. The negative connotation the peanut is saddled with today probably has something to do with it’s time as an “African” food staple and as cheap form of nourishment. Even food can’t avoid the harsh reality of racism. In the 1800s peanuts were eaten by African Americans and pigs--white folks couldn’t be bothered. Ironically, it wasn’t until the American Civil War when Confederate Soldiers were confronted with starvation that white people started nibbling on the unappreciated legume. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBOxw6vbDyo However, although no longer shunned, the peanut was still not a popular food of choice, that is until Dr. George Washington Carver entered the scene. Carver was a prominent American scientist and inventor in the early 1990s, and, side note, he also happened to be African American. He was born as a slave in Diamond, Missouri. At only a few weeks old, Confederate Soldiers raided the farm, kidnapped George’s family and sold them in Kentucky. Only George was eventually found by his previous owner and returned to Missouri. Carver learnt how to read and soon grew an interest for botany and natural pesticides, fungicides, and soil. In his neighbourhood he became known as the “Plant Doctor.” Keeping in mind all of the obstacles that he would have surely had to face, Carver eventually became the first African American to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree from Iowa State University in 1894. After teaching at Iowa State, Carver became a teacher at Tuskegee Institute. His new position, though lower in pay, provided Carver the opportunity to help poorer farmers in the south, who were dealing with low yield cotton crops due to soil depletion. Carver introduced the idea of crop rotation to the farmers. This is when you plant a particular crop for one year, and then another crop for the next year. Each crop either adding nutrients or taking out nutrients from the soil, and together working in harmony. The alternating crop, which he suggested to these farmers, was peanuts. Peanuts like their legume cousin, the soybean, adds nitrogen to the soil and was easy to grow. Once farmers implemented crop rotation with cot...

Since the early 1960s the Confederate battle flag had been flying at the South Carolina State House--at first, on the Capitol dome; then, as the result of an NAACP boycott of businesses in the state, it was moved to the Confederate Soldiers monument. On July 10, 2015, as a result of growing public pressure following the shooting deaths of the pastor and eight parishioners of Emanuel A. M. E. Church in Charleston, the flag was removed to a museum.

Sunday's with Dr. Shawn, The World is Spinning, Are WEEEE Crazy?  Where can you look in this world and find sanity?  The White House Negotiated with the same terrorist country that before, during, and after the negotiations was chanting "Death to America and Death to Israel!"  The very same county that has never in its sordid evil history honored even one agreement or treaty it ever made….  Iran, the country that vows to get a nuclear bomb and immediately use it to evaporate the United States and Israel.  It is ok to dig up the bodies of Confederate Soldiers and to deface statues of Confederate Soldiers but putting an icon of Yeshua in a bucket of human urine is totally art!  Christ-following bakers are villified and fined by the government for refusing to bake a same sex wedding cake.  The Christians have been denied free speech. Yet we fellow Christians are relatively silent.  A wealthy celebrated sports icon Transexual and "Reality Show Star" is heralded as courageous but near poverty level Soldiers left with only one arm all other lost in combat are forgotten by ABC/ESPN and the White House.  How in the world can you feel secure in this wild evil world?  I will show you what your authentic faith in God can do to lift and save you day by day.  I will show you how to be strong over the long haul...  How to not only survive, but also to THRIVE! Tomorrow's show is “My name is Dr. Shawn Greener, I am running for president, and I approved this message!”  Tune in at 4pm EST! SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FRIENDS!!!

There is no good resolution to the case of Walker v. Sons of Confederate Soldiers.  Whether you are a free speech advocate or someone who simply doesn't appreciate images of slavery, the determination of whether or not Texas should allow Confederate Flag license plates will likely make you feel gross.  Brett and Nazim also revisit the premise of principal v. money in the context of why to enter into litigation.

As far back as my childhood memories can take me, I cannot ever remember a time when I was not aware of spirits or beings from another dimension.  I recall so much more than just a very vivid child's imagination.  The visions I saw were haunting and alarming.  I remember being so engulfed with fear upon the manifestation of a spirit and running over to my parents room (of which we were never allowed to enter without knocking).  I knocked on the door sobbing and told my parents that I was afraid and afraid of death.  My mother shouted to me from the other side of the door that it was just a dream and to go back to bed.   I have studied diligently, the World's Religions and Theology.  I received my Ordination in July 2010.  It is my wish to be able to help others in need as well as expand my knowledge in Paranormal Psychology.  The Journey is far from over and takes place day after day, especially in the area where I live where there are boundless Confederate Soldiers that walk the streets, over and over.  Spirits talking and moving about.  Now though, there is a comfort within me.  I am also wiser and more in control of my surroundings than I was when I was younger.  My journey is peaceful and I am accepting of this gift.  I understand it is impossible to believe in life after death and with it, not believe in spirits.  After all, this is what we are and how we will be our choice is our destination.   I saw Christ.  He is more beautiful and loving than you will ever realize.  His words to me, "Isn't that what you asked for?" with a loving smile on His face.  More love than we can fathom than I could fathom.  Like being a 4 year old child with a very loving parent.  My spirit knew instantly who He was, and I was never afraid.   1 question only!
