Little compares to the powerful spiritual force of joining voices to harmonize in songs of freedom. It's a transformative occasion when done with the fullness of our being that creates a sense of communal solidarity. We become part of something larger than ourselves. It plants the seeds of hope and compassion in the face of face of oppression and injustice.

God is always placing signs in our lives that lead us to grace, peace, healing, love. How do we tune into those signs so that we can be closer to God every day?

People escaping slavery in America would often use songs as a code to coordinate escape efforts. One of these songs was -Follow the Drinking Gourd,- a code for following the Big Dipper which pointed to the North Star. In a similar way, Christians need to follow our -True North-- Christ. In this sermon, Pastor Jesse walks us through Col. 3-1-4, showing us the importance of having our gaze fixed on Christ and the firm ground and future glory we have in Him. Be reminded of where your focus needs to be, and be encouraged to live for Him.

In honor of Black History Month I have read "Follow the Drinking Gourd" by Jeanette Winter. This story teaches us how the slaves knew where to go and when it was a good time to escape their slave masters. Written on Amazon Illus. in full color. "Winter's story begins with a peg-leg sailor who aids slaves on their escape on the Underground Railroad. While working for plantation owners, Peg Leg Joe teaches the slaves a song about the drinking gourd (the Big Dipper). A couple, their son, and two others make their escape by following the song's directions. Rich paintings interpret the strong story in a clean, primitive style enhanced by bold colors. The rhythmic compositions have an energetic presence that's compelling. A fine rendering of history in picturebook format."--(starred) Booklist. https://www.amazon.com/Follow-Drinking-Gourd-Jeanette-Winter/dp/0679819975/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1NW4T0ASMTUN1&keywords=follow+the+drinking+gourd&qid=1675634967&sprefix=follow+the+drinking+gourd%2Caps%2C124&sr=8-1

Matthew 2: 8-13 provides an important background to this sermon. A dominant narrative in christianity, especially the Seventh Day Adventist Church, is that there is spiritual conflict. We call it the Great Controversy and it's a spiritual walk, so the question is "Am I spiritually competent, do I have what it requires to fight and take part in this great controversy?" This battle is not physical, for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against authorities, against cosmic powers over this present darkness and against the spiritual forces of evil in heavenly places. Val Bernard shares her reflections on what she has learnt about God and she encourages her listeners to connect, question and reflect. Val was born in England and grew up in South London and one of her passions apart from her family is sociology. Val lectures in Sociology in a London university.

Young children are like sponges, absorbing information about the world around them. Children have already started to internalize racialized messages about their value and self-worth by the time they are three to four years old. Psychologist Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum, an expert in racial identity development and the author of “Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? and Other Conversations About Race” calls this “the smog we're all breathing.”   In our Season 2 premiere of Early Risers, host Dianne Haulcy talks with Tatum about concrete steps parents and caregivers can take to proactively affirm children, including how to respond when children ask us questions about race and physical differences. Episode Resources: Tatum's best-selling book, “Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? and Other Conversations About Race” was first published in 1997. She released an updated 20th anniversary version in 2017. Tatum's 2017 TedX Stanford talk, “Is My Skin Brown Because I Drank Chocolate Milk?” features stories and practical advice about talking to very young children about race, including addressing the painful history of chattel slavery.  Faith Ringgold's “Aunt Harriet's Underground Railroad in the Sky” is one of Dr. Tatum's favorite books to use with young children to open conversation about the horrors of chattel slavery and the courage of people who resisted. She also suggests Jeanette Winter's “Follow the Drinking Gourd.” Tatum recommends Social Justice Books for discovering multicultural and social justice books for children.

The way we understand equity in our schools is constantly evolving. Students and staff in our communities reflect a broader and richer spectrum of identity, heritage, and self-discovery at this moment than at any other moment in American history. Yet educational practice is still catching up, and the students most likely to be heavily impacted by trauma, such as the spectrum of recent events, are students of color, students with disabilities, and learners from other marginalized communities. How can a deeper understanding of the struggle for true equity in education inform the way we design schools and learning opportunities in the future? And what opportunities would exist for our school communities if we learned how to design education to be truly inclusive of all voices and perspectives from the very beginning?As educators and school leaders hone their methods in response to a growing understanding of the importance of representation and culturally responsive practices in the classroom, New View EDU dives into the subject with a transformative conversation on the power of structured imagination in creating inclusive cultures. Guests Lonny Brooks and Ahmed Best are, together, the co-hosts of the Afrofuturist podcast and creators of the game Afro-Rithms From the Future. Lonny is also a futurist, scholar, professor of communications, and co-principal investigator for the Long Term and Futures Thinking in Education Project; Ahmed is an award-winning actor best known for his role as Jar Jar Binks in the Star Wars films, as well as a writer, director, producer, futurist, and science fiction devotee. They delve into how their shared understanding of the future-thinking orientation inherent in the Black American experience, and the lack of representation of the Black community in the science fiction and gaming worlds, led to their creation of a communal game experience devoted to “democratizing the future.” They also share what their work means for educators and schools everywhere.“For every algorithm of oppression, we have to have an Afrorithm of liberation.” What are Afrorithms? What does the concept of an “algorithm of oppression” mean for the way we build systems and structures throughout our society? Lonny and Ahmed trace the importance of futurist thinking from the historical realities of the slave trade, through the Drinking Gourd and the Underground Railroad, to the present day. With a keen eye toward the voices that are invited to tell and shape stories, and the perspectives that are left out, they examine how marginalization of different communities has shaped a culture that doesn't fully reflect its full diversity of heritage, ethnicity, experience, or thought. In this episode, hosts Tim Fish and Lisa Kay Solomon ask Lonny and Ahmed to share the inspiration and process behind the creation of their imaginative gameplay experience, and how they have consciously structured a virtual world that invites inclusive participation. Exploring how sensitivity to the importance of every individual's perspective and intrinsic value develops student agency, Lonny and Ahmed reflect on the ways in which educational and social structures may stifle the emergence of vitally needed new voices and points of view. A rich and nuanced discussion sheds light on the growth of Afrofuturism and the potential the discipline holds for transforming the way we learn, share, communicate, and build our future worlds, In what ways do we need to interrogate our well-meaning current practices and beliefs to create meaningful long-term change? And what would education for the next generation look like if we radically shifted practices to bridge divides and intentionally design a more inclusive future?Some of the key questions Tim and Lisa explore in this interview include:How do we bring structured imagination into our classrooms and communities to reimagine more just, equitable, and abundant futures?What role does the future—or futurism—play in helping us better understand the present?In what ways can school leaders and communities intentionally bring more future-oriented practices into their planning and into their classrooms?What is the value of being “seen,” and what does it take to become a “seer” of our students and community members?Resource List:The Afrofuturist Podcast: Learn more about Afrofuturism and Lonny and Ahmed's work by listening to their podcast.Afro-Rithms From the Future: Check out Ahmed and Lonny's immersive game to democratize the future.Institute for the Future: Familiarize yourself with Lonny's work as a research affiliate for IFTF.The Long Now Foundation: Check out the work of a foundation dedicated to long-term thinking.Afro-Rithms in Action: See Afro-Rithms From the Future played in this video from Fathomers.Community Futures School: Learn about Lonny's work to bring futures thinking and imagination to education.Black Speculative Arts Movement: Dive deeper into the world of Afrofuturism and structured imagination.In This Episode:“Afrofuturism is a combination of speculative fiction and science fiction and fantasy to envision alternative futures and memories about—about the future, leveraging our ancestral intelligence from the Black Diaspora, indigenous, people of color, but fundamentally based in the Black experience of the Middle Passage.” (2:12)“I think African people and those of African descent have always had the futurist mindset, the futurist thinking, and you know what I, what I like to talk about when we play Afro-Rithms, our game, is how as enslaved Africans were brought throughout the Western world, we had no choice but to look forward to a time where enslavement wasn't a possibility. Even the idea of the Civil Rights movement, and even before that, when we're talking about, you know, the 14th, 15th, 16th amendments in the United States, you have to be a futurist in the thinking in order to convince a body, a governmental body of which you have no representation in, that you are worth being moved from commodity to an actual human being.” (4:48)“A lot of times with futures thinking, people don't invest the amount of time that I think is necessary into futures thinking because they believe they can't afford it. Right. I think most people look at the past and try to learn from the past, and hedge the present on the past without looking forward to the future.” (10:03)“The screen is a portal to the universe. And if you are not taking advantage of the portal to the universe, the students are going to find another way to do it.” (11:25)“And I just think, you know, like with any language, the kids come to it more naturally. They are like the natural linguists in adopting that language and implementing it. So my students, you know, have access to putting in—implementing their voices, and especially their own cultural experiences into the game, that really expands and gets them excited about doing this work.” (22:00)“What I am interested in is letting you know that you are the only you in this universe, and that is special. And I want to hear what you have to say, right? I don't want you to do algebra. I want you to do your algebra. What does that mean? I don't want you to learn history. I want you to be able to learn history your way, right?” (30:21)“But I think what's tantamount, what's really important, is we have to, to stop thinking about the 20th century industrial age type of thinking where everybody's going to be on an assembly line and get a job. I think we have to move more toward the individual idea of the process of each person. Believe that each student is special in their own right. And give the student the ability to get a dream rather than get a job.” (34:12)Full TranscriptAbout Our Guests:Ahmed Best was a founding member of the acid jazz group The Jazzhole and starred in the Broadway musical Stomp.

Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 8-23-21. TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the week of August 23, 2021.  This episode, the second in a series of episodes on water in U.S. civil rights history, explores water as symbolism in African American civil rights history.  [The first episode in the series--the series overview--is Episode 566, 3-1-21.]  We start with about 50 seconds of music. MUSIC – ~53 sec – Lyrics: “Well the river ends between two hills; follow the drinkin' gourd.  There's another river on the other side; follow the drinkin' gourd.  Follow the drinkin' gourd; follow the drinkin' gourd.  For the ol' man is a'waiting for the carry you to freedom; follow the drinkin' gourd.” You've been listening to part of “Follow the Drinking Gourd,” recorded by Eric Bibb in 2013.  The song is believed to have been used prior to the Civil War as a code to help enslaved people escape on the Underground Railroad.  In that interpretation, the verses gave information about the route, and the drinking gourd referred to the Big Dipper, setting the direction to go by pointing towards the North Star.  Another water-related spiritual song, “Wade in the Water,” is also believed to have been used as Underground Railroad code.  Both songs became popular hymns within African American churches and, by the mid-1900s, were closely associated with the modern Civil Rights Movement. In a 2018 post entitled “The Role of Water in African American History,” Tyler Parry stated that, “water's culturally symbolic importance resonated across generations….” Following are four other examples of water symbolism connected to the African American movement for civil rights. Number 1: “Parting the waters.”  This phrase refers to the account in the Bible Book of Exodus, in which God parted the waters of the Red Sea so that the Israelites could escape from Egyptian slavery.  It's been used as a metaphor for the enormous challenges that African Americans have faced in acquiring and asserting their civil rights.  For instance, it's the title of the first volume in Taylor Branch's trilogy on the modern civil rights era, America in the King Years.  That trilogy is the source for the next two examples. Number 2. “Until justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.”  Martin Luther King, Jr., frequently used this phrase, taken from the Bible Book of Amos, to describe how long the U.S. civil rights movement would need to continue. Number 3: “Springs of racial poison.”  At the signing of the federal Civil Rights Act in July 1964, President Lyndon Johnson said, “We must not fail.  Let us close the springs of racial poison.” And number 4. “A fire no water could put out.”  Dr. King used this phrase in his final public sermon in Memphis.  Recalling demonstrations in Birmingham, Alabama, when Birmingham Commissioner of Public Safety “Bull” Connor ordered fire hoses turned on demonstrators, Dr. King said that Connor didn't realize “that there was a certain kind of fire that no water could put out.” These examples are only a small piece of a much larger story.  I invite listeners to offer Virginia Water Radio other examples of water metaphors and symbolism in U.S. civil rights history. Thanks to Eric Bibb, his manager Heather Taylor, and Riddle Films for permission to use this week's music, and we close with about 25 more seconds of Mr. Bibb performing “Follow the Drinking Gourd.” MUSIC – ~ 24 sec – Lyrics: “For the ol' man is a'waitin' for to carry you to freedom; follow the drinkin' gourd.” SHIP'S BELL Virginia Water Radio is produced by the Virginia Water Resources Research Center, part of Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources and Environment.  For more Virginia water sounds, music, or information, visit us online at virginiawaterradio.org, or call the Water Center at (540) 231-5624.  Thanks to Ben Cosgrove for his version of “Shenandoah” to open and close the show.  In Blacksburg, I'm Alan Raflo, thanking you for listening, and wishing you health, wisdom, and good water. AUDIO NOTES AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Eric Bibb performance of “Follow the Drinking Gourd” heard in this Virginia Water Radio episode was taken from a video recording dated March 19, 2013, and posted by Riddle Films online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjBZEMkmwYA.  Audio for this recording is used with permission of Eric Bibb, via his manager Heather Taylor; and of Liam Romalis at Riddle Films.  More information about Eric Bibb is available online at https://www.ericbibb.com/.  More information about Riddle Films is available online at http://riddlefilms.com/.An excellent version of “Wade in the Water” (the other song mentioned in this week's audio), performed by Deeper Dimension, is available online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NQvOFTioJg.

She is a writer and journalist, tackling topics such as Black Muslim womanhood, Muslim American politics, Afrofuturism, surveillance, and more. Our interview is going to range from the more abstract to the more concrete, the more personal: what is writing like for Vanessa? How much do institutions matter? What can we do to challenge them? Knowledge and its Producers is a limited podcast series from the Maydan hosted by N.A. Mansour. In each episode, we'll be talking to people who are at the forefront of knowledge production, typically away from the traditional educational power structures. It's been an exercise in thinking through how knowledge is constructed & barriers to entry. Most importantly, we highlight people demolishing those barriers. These interviews cover everything from labor to creativity to breakfast. We're going beyond traditional educational systems to really break down how different elements of knowledge production fit together and create community. This show is generously funded by the Henry Luce Foundation.

“As a Black Muslim woman, it gets very exhausting to exist in a world that projects onto you.” In this episode, Vanessa Taylor, a Philadelphia-based writer and the founder and editor-in-chief of the Drinking Gourd, a Black Muslim literary magazine, discusses the paradox of Black Muslim womanhood - being simultaneously hypervisible and invisible. Within that nuance, Black Muslim women carve out spaces where they embrace their multiple identities as Black, Muslim, and women while resisting the impulse of others to reduce their multi-dimensionality. Vanessa chats about this spirit of resistance: how Black Muslims challenge anti-Blackness within the Muslim community and Islamophobia within the Black community, and how she, as a Black Muslim woman, navigates her multiple identities to take up space and create spaces where she and other Black Muslim women can thrive.    Find links and show notes at https://breakconcrete.com/bc039. Topics Covered: Why Vanessa converted to Islam The history of government surveillance of Black Muslims and Islamophobia in the United States The paradox of hypervisibility and invisibility of Black Muslims  How Muslims have created their own spaces to resist surveillance Questions of authenticity and legitimacy of Black Muslimhood Anti-Blackness within the Muslim community How Black Muslim women navigate their multiple identities (race, gender, religion) to take up and create their own space   Defining modest fashion and Black women’s contributions to modest fashion The co-optation of Black Muslim style Why Vanessa developed the Drinking Gourd The meaning of the title the Drinking Gourd How Vanessa breaks concrete   Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/breakconcrete/ Twitter https://twitter.com/BreakConcrete/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/breakconcrete/ E-mail feedback to breakconcrete@gmail.com.

Hiya pals! The Hotties are ringing in Black History Month with a conversation about how y’all done us WRONG – specifically, how the mythical link between black academic achievement and “acting white” harms everyone, and black kids most especially [1:22]. Truly, a deep dive worthy of Urkel himself. Then, in an attempt to recover from the pain of Moana’s losses at the Golden Globes, CT and KW share some of their all-time favorite award show moments [16:42]. Did Lil Kim’s sparkle-boob make the list? What about that time Kanye spoke truth to whiteness?? Guess you gotta listen to find out ¯_(ツ)_/¯ In “Hey, Facts Tho”, the Hotties teach each other about the wonders of the natural universe, and also about how very oppressive America is! WHAT. A. TREAT [37:27]. And as usual, they have plenty of culture for you to get involved with [51:00]. Join them, won’t you?

The following resources offer resources and suggestions for teaching about slavery in America.Slave Voices: This American Memory (Library of Congress) collection including recordings between 1932 and 1975 includes hours of actual voices in audio format taken from former Southern slaves. It includes 23 interviewees born between 1823 and 1860.Our Story: Slave Life and the Underground Railroad: This site, prepared by the Smithsonian's Museum of American History, offers a brief introduction to the topic. It is interspersed with primary source links as well as links to children's literature selections and some children's books reader's guides (e.g., Follow the Drinking Gourd, Freedom on the Menu).Harriet Tubman Biography: Developed by Kate Clifford Larsen, this site includes information about the Underground Railroad, a timeline, list of escapees, and maps.Slavery and the Making of America: This site includes a rich collection of links to primary sources relating to slavery topics.The Underground Railroad Simulation: This National Geographic simulation guides students along the Underground Railroad through text, song, graphics (including locational photographs and primary source images), and student decision-making.Slave Narratives: This interactive site from the Museum of the African Diaspora leads readers (and listeners) through biographies of several slaves including Mary Prince, Tempe Herndon Durham, and others. For each, there is a timeline, biography, and transcript (in audio and textual format).Reader's Theater: This reader's theater script follows the Underground Railroad as guided by Harriet Tubman.

I recommend the below books for use when teaching about slavery in the United States between 1700 and 1900 to students in intermediate-level grades. In some cases, I also include Google Lit Trips developed by teachers in the Teaching American History Grant program.Most Loved in All the World by Tonya Cherie HegaminUnder the Quilt of Night by Deborah HopkinsonFollow the Drinking Gourd by Jeanette WinterA Voice of Her Own: A Story of Phyllis Wheatly, Slave Poet by Katherine LaskyAlec's Primer by Mildred Pitts WalterDaily Life on a Southern Plantation by Paul EricksonDiscovery Kids: Underground RailroadElijah of Buxton by Christopher Paul CurtisHenry’s Freedom Box: A True Story from the Underground Railroad by Ellen LevineIf You Lived When There Was Slavery in America by Anna Kamma [Lit Trip by Laura Conway, Cathleen Mullen, and Rachel Robertson]If You Traveled on the Underground Railroad Ellen LevineMeet Addie: American Girl (Book One) by Connie PorterNight Boat to Freedom by Margot Thiels Raven [Lit Trip by Jill Hardin]Patchwork Path: A Quilt Map to Freedom by Bettye StroudPriscilla and the Hollyhocks by Ann Broyles [Lit Trip by Jessica Graham]Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt by Deborah Hopkinson [See this Lit Trip by Megan Leider and a companion lesson plan by Cynthia Weeden]Time For Kids Biographies: Harriet Tubman A Woman of Courage by the Editors of Time for Kids with Renee SkeltonUnderground Railroad Interactive Adventure by Allison LassiuerFreedom River by Doreen RappaportAlmost to Freedom by Vaunda Micheaux NelsonUnderground Railroad for Kids: From Slavery to Freedom with 21 Activities by Mary Kay CarsonAlmost to Freedom by Vaunda Micheaux NelsonMukambu of Ndongo by Patricia Procopi [Lit Trip by Andrea May and Jordan Savitt]Lest We Forget: The Passage from Africa to Slavery and Emancipation: A Three-Dimensional Interactive Book with Photographs and Documents from the Black Holocaust Exhibit by Velma Maia ThomasUp the Learning Tree by Marcia K.
