Episode 256 - George Dawson was a docent at San Antonio's Mission Concepcion when he re-discovered the phenomena called Illuminations. The Franciscan Priests who built the mission in the 1750's were able to "Capture the Sun" to convey a Message from God to the indigenous people of the area. The Illuminations were only recently re-discoved after being forgotten about for over 200 years. The San Antonio Missions were recenly named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Over a century ago, in 1881, the city of Birmingham purchased a copy of Shakespeare's first folio. It was to be the crown jewel of their new Shakespeare library, the brainchild of the first librarian George Dawson. From the outset it was to be the People's Folio, the property of the city's Free library. You can find the evidence stamped in red ink on many of the pages. That might seem like a defacement to some, but to Shakespeare scholar Islam Issa and members of the city's 'Everything to Everybody' project, it shows a profound commitment. In this feature Islam draws together the passion and belief of George Dawson and his fellow city fathers - Birmingham became a city in 1889 - with the voices and opinions of Birmingham today as expressed by people like the internationally acclaimed street artist Mohammed Ali. He's produced two school murals that have the Folio at the heart of the city's sense of itself. In the afterglow of the Commonwealth Games and the realisation that Birmingham's strength lies in its multi-cultural population, Islam points out that rather than some distant evidence of an elite and unfamiliar past, the time has come for the Folio to be celebrated from Sparkbrook to the Bullring and beyond.

Birmingham was transformed between 1850 and 1900. Though in 1850 a fast-growing, prosperous manufacturing centre, it was an unplanned, insanitary muddle of a town; by the end of the nineteenth century however it was renowned both as ‘the best governed town in the country' and as ‘the most artistic town in England.' An environmental revolution enacted by Mayor Joseph Chamberlain in the early 1870s ensured Birmingham was ‘parked, paved, assized, marketed, gas and watered and improved.' He and his supporters on the town council were inspired to act to improve the living conditions of Birmingham people by George Dawson, influential minister at the Church of the Saviour, who preached the mission of the ‘civic gospel'. But Dawson also taught that it was the duty of the wealthy, talented businessmen to civilise citizens, to educate, to promote intellectual opportunities, and to cultivate aesthetic appreciation. This talk by Andrew Reekes is concerned with those Dawson disciples – men largely ignored in standard accounts of the civic gospel in Birmingham - who set about providing schools, adult learning opportunities, libraries, a unique Shakespeare Memorial Library, a museum and art gallery, as well as the foremost art and design schools in the land. More than in any other British city, this cultural and intellectual efflorescence was administered by the town council and its councillors; many of them were the same men who had campaigned for new educational and aesthetic initiatives and who generously gave to the cause. It is a story that deserves to be recorded. Keywords: George Dawson, civic gospel, Andrew Reekes, Birmingham
BOND Archive Sunday Service, August 19, 2012: Jesse Lee Peterson warns people not to put him or anyone else on a pedestal as their leader. Speak up to the person, and do not gossip, nor listen to gossip. Be careful how you associate yourself with the children of Satan. They will treat you the same way they treat others. Do you have peace? Some talk about the imperfect peace that they have — how gaining peace in their mind is a process, and their attraction to "justified anger." One woman is letting her adult children go. There is a time to speak up, and a time to let things pass. We read from Romans 7: 14-23. Paul talks about the sin living in him that drives him to do what he does not want to do. We have enough trouble in our own lives that we should not concern ourselves with others' issues and failings. But rather, look at yourself. Welcome boredom. Wake up, so that you can deal with evil. Australia is passing laws that suggest horrible prejudices against men. One lady mentions a book "Life Is So Good," by the grandson of a slave. The author (George Dawson) lived to 103, and accepted the troubles of life without bitterness. We talk a little about living your life right, versus buying your casket and planning your funeral.

One phrase that was ingrained into my upbringing was, 'Be honest'. Having experienced over 3 decades of life, I have (and continue to) realised the depth, breadth, and precision of this phrase. I had the honour of engaging in an insightful, open, and depth-filled conversation with Spencer J. Conley about his Chapter, Growth and Maturity. We delve into Spencer's journey through his chapter, the connections to other generations, his trauma (dyslexia), his work, his purpose, his book (Lead with L. O. V. E), and a special story (Life is Good by George Dawson) that helped to shape his life. I left the conversation feeling inspired, exhilarated, and energised to make a difference. A couple of points that deeply resonated with me were, 'be comfortable with who you are' and 'dyslexia is my trauma'. Spencer can be found on: Website - http://spencerjconley.com/ Lead with L. O. V.

George Dawson (@dawso007), MD, addiction and neuropsychiatrist in Minnesota, joins Chadi to discuss mental illness and COVID – of having the virus itself, as well as the result of isolation and lack of social interaction. Dr. Dawson shares how individuals with drug or alcohol addictions have struggled to stay sober while being stuck at home without in-person meetings and human interaction, whether there is reason to believe the COVID lockdowns and social restrictions have worse health ramifications than the disease itself (eg, suicide rates), burnout and other negative effects pervading the health care provider workforce, and how fluctuating school schedules may be negatively impacting the mental health of children.
This is a tale of friendship, tragic loss and fossil bees — and an introduction to one of the most delightful paleo enthusiasts to ever walk the planet — Rene Savenye. Rene and I enjoyed many years of waxing poetic about our shared love of palaeontology and natural history. Rene was a mountain goat in the field, stalking the hills in his signature red t-shirt. He was tremendously knowledgeable about the natural world and delighted in it. For many years, he was Chair of the White Rock and Surrey Naturalists, while I was Chair of the Vancouver Paleontological Society. Together, we would plan and often co-lead field trips to many of the wonderful fossil outcrops in British Columbia and Washington state. In 2002, we were planning a very exciting round of field trips. I was offered a fully paid trip to India with Karen Lund to hike to the headwaters of the Ganges, a trip which I was to forgo in favour of a hike up to the outcrops of the Cathedral Escarpment and Burgess Shale and then to yummy Lower Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous, Albian, outcrops accessed only by boat in Haida Gwaii. Rene and I had talked about "walking in the shoes" of Joseph Whiteaves, the GSC's chief palaeontologist in Ottawa. He published a paper in 1876 describing the Jurassic and Cretaceous faunas of Skidegate Inlet and spent a significant portion of his career working out the fossil fauna of the Burgess Shale. Combining these two sites within the same field season was a fitting homage. John Fam, Vancouver Paleontological Society (VanPS) and Dan Bowen, Vancouver Island Palaeontological Society (VIPS), did much of the planning for that Haida Gwaii trip, they too being inspired by Whiteaves papers and the work of James Richardson and George Dawson — as a whole, we were giddy with the prospect of the year ahead. Rene and I had planned to do both, but in the end, I had to give up the hike to Burgess that year and Rene never made it back to join me in Haida Gwaii. In the days before the official trip to Burgess, Rene did some solo hiking in the mountains and hills near Field, British Columbia. He was excited to explore Wapta Mountain, Mount Field and Mount Stephen, ever mindful of collecting only with his camera. He walked through the hallowed footsteps of Joseph Whiteaves and Charles Doolittle Walcott over ground that should have been named La Entrada de Dios, The Gateway of God, for each footfall brought him closer to meeting the big man. While a naturalist, Rene held to the belief that once his days were done on this Earth, he would be breaking bread in heaven above. Rene started with clear skies and a pack full of geology hammers, maps and chisels. As the day went on, the skies filled with rolling clouds, then thunder. Grey sheets of rain covered the landscape. Seeing the danger of being solo in darkening weather, he started back to his car but never made it. On the afternoon of July 28th, he was struck and killed by lightning — a tragic loss.
The ‘Everything to Everybody’ Project is recovering Birmingham’s unique heritage as home to the largest and oldest Shakespeare collection in any public library in the world. Recently, it has also begun to uncover the truly global influence and reach of this historic people’s Shakespeare library, which has holdings in some 93 languages. In a special History West Midlands film and two associated podcasts, the Project Director, Professor Ewan Fernie, and its American International Champion, Professor Katherine Scheil, share some of the excitement of re-establishing the links between Birmingham’s nineteenth-century Shakespeare heritage and the development of Shakespeare in America. In The Tempest, when she is faced with human society for the first time, Shakespeare’s cast-away Miranda says, “O brave new world / That has such people in’t!” Her father, Prospero, wearily replies, “’Tis new to thee.” But in the middle of the nineteenth century, George Dawson and the other founders of Birmingham’s pioneering Shakespeare library really believed Shakespeare could play a role in regenerating culture. Dawson regarded Shakespeare’s plays as “the newest Bible, the sweetest, truest teachings of the truths of the future that the world ever had.” When he crossed the Atlantic to visit America in 1874, he cemented relationships between British and American Shakespeareans which had lasting effects on America’s cultural institutions and landscape. While Fernie and Scheil’s new article on Shakespeare, Birmingham and America uncovers much of this lost history, it also shows that Dawson’s visit to the States exposed serious limitations to his “everything to everybody” ethos – limitations it is vitally important we acknowledge and move beyond today in favour of making culture more equal and inclusive.

In 1874, Birmingham's most famous politician, Joseph Chamberlain sent George Dawson across the Atlantic as ‘Birmingham's Ambassador to America' – almost as if Birmingham were a cultural power in its own right. Dawson went down a storm in America, and his trip was enthusiastically reported back home. But Dawson's embassy to America has since been almost entirely forgotten in Birmingham and in the United States. Now the ‘Everything to Everybody' Project has started to uncover the traces. In this the first of two History West Midlands podcasts, the Director of the ‘Everything to Everybody' Project, Professor Ewan Fernie, and the project's American champion, Professor Katherine Scheil of the University of Minnesota, piece the story together for the Publisher of History West Midlands, Mike Gibbs. They talk about where Dawson went, who he spoke to, what he talked about, what he thought of America and Americans, and what they thought of him. It is a story which begins to unlock a forgotten and special relationship between Birmingham and America at a time when each was working out its own distinctive relationship to ‘establishment' British culture. The ‘Everything to Everybody' Project is a major lottery-funded collaboration between the University of Birmingham and Birmingham City Council. Dawson founded the world's first great Shakespeare Library in the city in 1864 and the project aims to unlock that pioneering public resource for all the citizens of contemporary Birmingham and to recover the ‘everything to everybody' ethos it embodies.

Islam Issa hears from actor Adrian Lester and Professor Ewan Fernie about a project that will revive the Birmingham Shakespeare Memorial Library. Founded with the help of George Dawson - a man who had a powerful vision of Birmingham as a progressive social and cultural centre in the mid 19th century - the library houses Britain's most important Shakespeare collection, comprising 43,000 volumes, including a copy of the First Folio 1623. Over three years, the Everything to Everybody project aims to share these cultural riches with the people of Birmingham in a wide range of imaginative ways.

Professor Holbrook of the University of Queensland formerly President of the International Shakespeare Association, recently visited Birmingham to explore the Birmingham Shakespeare Memorial Library: the first great Shakespeare Library in the world, and the only great Shakespeare Library which truly belongs to all the people of the city. In this podcast he discusses the global impact and legacy of the Library’s founder, George Dawson, who pioneered a visionary new civic culture in Birmingham. It reveals an extraordinary connection between Dawson’s Birmingham and the only Australian copy of the historic 1623 First Folio of Shakespeare’s collected works which was donated to Sydney’s Free Public Library in 1884 by Richard and George Tangye from Birmingham. He also discusses connections between Dawson’s ‘civic gospel’ and nineteenth-century Australian politics. Professor Holbrook talks with Professor Ewan Fernie, Director of the ‘Everything to Everybody’ Project, a pioneering collaboration between Birmingham City Council and the University of Birmingham to unlock the first great people’s Shakespeare Library for all. The project has a development grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to develop a three-year programme which will culminate in 2022 when the Commonwealth Games come to Birmingham.

Hidden away and forgotten by most of the people of Birmingham is the world's first great Shakespeare library. It is one of the city’s best kept secrets, known only to a few academics, here and overseas. But when it first opened its doors to the people of Birmingham in 1868, the Shakespeare Memorial Library was the envy of the world, which looked to Birmingham as the home of a comprehensive ‘Civic Gospel’. This was the concrete expression of the vision of George Dawson (1821-1876) – Birmingham’s forgotten philosopher-prophet. And the Birmingham Shakespeare Memorial Library is one of its most important surviving legacies. Dawson conceived of a library where the Bard and his works would belong to every citizen, not just a cultured elite or academia. Paid for by public subscription, this world-class collection includes more than 40,000 volumes – among them the only Shakespeare First Folio in the world bought as part of a vision of comprehensive (including working-class) education. And it still belongs to the people of Birmingham. Hear more about this wonderful fruit of George Dawson’s vision for Birmingham as a world-leading modern city in this second of two podcasts by Shakespeare scholar, Professor Ewan Fernie of the University of Birmingham, in discussion with Mike Gibbs, publisher of History West Midlands. In partnership with Tom Epps of Birmingham City Council and institutions across and beyond Birmingham, Fernie is now developing a Heritage Lottery Fund project to revive Birmingham's forgotten Shakespeare Library with people and communities across the city.

In the first of two podcasts Professor Ewan Fernie tells the thrilling but almost totally forgotten story of George Dawson - preacher, activist and father of the Civic Gospel - who shaped the world's image of Birmingham in the 19th century. Described as 'Brummagem Dawson' by fellow philosopher Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), he was the individual who changed Birmingham from the town which Jane Austen described as 'not a place to promise much' into 'the chief centre of civilisation, the chief town of democracy, the town from which Liberty radiates to all the world', in only 50 years. Today the modern city, which owes him so much, has utterly forgotten this global figure. Listen to this extraordinary story as Professor Fernie talks to Mike Gibbs of History West Midlands.

Life Is So Good is the unlikely memoir of a slave's grandson who finally learned to read at age 98. Given the chance to get a formal education, George Dawson took to school the way he did every other experience—with humility and gratitude. Co-author Richard Glaubman originally intended to give voice to a man relegated to a life of discrimination and prejudice. Instead, he found a man filled with gratitude and a sunny disposition. Even with a front-row seat to the cruelty and severe poverty of Blacks in the Deep South, Dawson remained untainted by bitterness. Eventually, Dawson and Glaubman published the story bearing the title, Life Is So Good. These four words became Dawson's lifelong mantra when his father spoke them soon after the two of them witnessed a lynching. Having seen a century's worth of life's ups and downs, Dawson reminds us, “People forget that a picture ain't made from just one color. Life ain't all good or all bad. It's full of everything.” Soon after the book was released, Dawson passed away at age 103. Yet his pearls of wisdom are timeless. Here are just three: “Some people are growing children [like farmers grow hogs], not raising children.” “[Don't] worry so much” and “Be happy for what you have.” “The world only changes one person at a time."
