In 1922 a commission made up of prominent citizens—six Black men and six white men appointed by the governor of Illinois—issued a report about the 1919 Race Riot entitled The Negro in Chicago: A Study on Race Relations and a Race Riot. Eve Ewing's dazzling poetry collection, 1919, excerpts small bits from the report as epigraphs for each poem, comments like “…the presence of Negroes in large numbers in our great cities is not a menace in itself,” and “the sentiment was expressed that Negro invasion of the district was the worst calamity that had struck the city since the Great Fire.” Today the Chicago Race Riot of 1919 Commemoration Project (CRR19) aims to ignite conversations about white supremacy in Chicago and around the country and the world. Formally launched on the 100th anniversary of the riot, CRR19 remembers the worst incident of racial violence in the city's history, and the events that swept the city and set the framework for racial segregation to this very day. We're joined by Franklin Cosey Gay and Peter Cole, co-directors of CRR19 on the eve of their annual commemoration and slow-rolling south-side bike tour.
5 MARKS OF A GREAT SAMARITAN + (Ep. 471)As fireworks fade and summer rolls on, we're inviting you into something far deeper than nostalgia—a revolution of the heart. In this powerful episode, we unpack the Gospel of the Good Samaritan—not as a distant parable, but as a blazing call to become instruments of divine mercy in a distracted world. What does it mean to truly see? To stop? To sacrifice? Join us as we unveil Five Marks of a Good Samaritan that just might change everything—your home, your habits, your heart.Plus, we're excited to share two epic creative projects on the horizon:
DID AMERICA'S REVOLT START WITH REGICIDE? 1/8: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Hardcover – by Jonathan Healey (Author) 1838 REGICIDE https://www.amazon.com/Blazing-World-History-Revolutionary-1603-1689/dp/0593318358 The seventeenth century was a revolutionary age for the English. It started as they suddenly found themselves ruled by a Scotsman, and it ended in the shadow of an invasion by the Dutch. Under James I, England suffered terrorism and witch panics. Under his son Charles, state and society collapsed into civil war, to be followed by an army coup and regicide. For a short time—for the only time in history—England was a republic. There were bitter struggles over faith and Parliament asserted itself like never before. There were no boundaries to politics. In fiery, plague-ridden London, in coffee shops and alehouses, new ideas were forged that were angry, populist, and almost impossible for monarchs to control. But the story of this century is less well known than it should be. Myths have grown around key figures. People may know about the Gunpowder Plot and the Great Fire of London, but the Civil War is a half-remembered mystery to many. And yet the seventeenth century has never seemed more relevant. The British constitution is once again being bent and contorted, and there is a clash of ideologies reminiscent of when Roundhead fought Cavalier. The Blazing World is the story of this strange, twisting, fascinating century. It shows a society in sparkling detail. It was a new world of wealth, creativity, and daring curiosity, but also of greed, pugnacious arrogance, and colonial violence

This is episode 230, From Knysna's Burning Forests to Tolstoy's War and Peace: The World in 1869. Globally, the end of the sixth decade of the 19th Century was full of fire and brimbstone, and some technology, social change, significant moments. The construction of the the Port Nolloth-O'okiep railway line is one notable tech development, but on the down side, the Southern Cape experienced a devastating fire that began in early February in the Meiringspoort area of the Swartberg Mountains, destroying numerous homesteads and ancient yellowoods. More about this in a few minutes. IN the United States, Elizabeth Cady Stanton testified before the U.S. Congress, thus becoming the first woman to do so, and later in 1869, Stanton and Susan B. Anthony formed the National Woman Suffrage Association. Sainsbury's opened in Drury Lane in London in May, Boston University was founded in the same month. A month later, John Hyatt patented celluloid in Albany New York, a product created by mixing nitrocellulose and camphor — thus creating the basis for the coming film revolution. Like all good ideas, Hyatt had actually bought the original patent from Englishman Alexander Parkes who couldn't figure out how to make money from his invention. It's amazing how many inventions were co-opted by entrepreneurs after the inventor struggled to make a buck out of a good idea. Take the common computer mouse, invented by Stanford Research Unit student Douglas Engelbart in the early 1960s. In the late 1970s, almost two decades after the mouse's invention, Apple's Steve Jobs saw a mouse being demonstrated along with what was called graphical user interface, GUI, at Xerox labs in Palo Alto California. November the 17 however, was probably one of the most significant dates in the calendar when it came to the Cape, because that was the date that the Suez Canal was completed. For the first time in history, ships could now sail through the canal, linking the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, shortening the voyages between Europe and the far east by months. In Cape Town, there was fear and loathing about the Canal. And so, to South Africa, let's retrace our steps to February 1869. It began, as such stories often do, with a wisp of smoke on the horizon. According to the local newspapers, the fire that would become known ominously as the Great Fire of 1869 was first spotted on the 8th February. The conditions were perfect for a catastrophe. Southern Cape berg winds, searing, north-westerly to north-easterly gusts, swept down from the heights. Born of a low-pressure system sliding from west to east, they could reach gale-force strength, tearing through valleys like invisible predators. By the time the flames were first seen near Knysna, the air shimmered with heat, the humidity was almost non-existent, and the vegetation which was parched after years of relentless drought, stood waiting, tinder-dry.But in February 1869, the fire dominated every horizon. From its first sparks, it began a horrifying march: sweeping west towards Swellendam, east to Uitenhage, and threading through the Langkloof valley north of the Outeniqua Mountains. Then, inexorably, it spilled down towards the coast, devouring all in its path, Great Brak River, Victoria Bay, Knysna, Plettenberg Bay.

Emperor Nero, who ruled Rome from 54 to 68 AD, remains one of history's most controversial figures. Known for his love of music, poetry, and theatre, he supported the arts and banned bloodshed in the circus. He reduced taxes, gave rights to slaves, and provided aid to disaster-struck cities. Yet, Nero's reign also descended into violence, scandal, and extravagance. He was accused of murdering his mother, two wives, and many political rivals. His passion for performance often clashed with imperial duties, and his costly lifestyle drained the empire's treasury. The Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD further darkened his legacy, with rumors accusing him of setting the blaze. Despite his flaws, many commoners mourned his death, showing he wasn't hated by all. Ancient sources, written long after his death, may have exaggerated his faults. This show explores both the artist and the tyrant behind the crown

BURNING CITIES THEN AND NOW. 1/8: The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the American Revolution by Benjamin L. Carp 1776 NEW YORK https://www.amazon.com/Great-New-York-Fire-1776/dp/0300246951 New York City, the strategic center of the Revolutionary War, was the most important place in North America in 1776. That summer, an unruly rebel army under George Washington repeatedly threatened to burn the city rather than let the British take it. Shortly after the Crown's forces took New York City, much of it mysteriously burned to the ground. This is the first book to fully explore the Great Fire of 1776 and why its origins remained a mystery even after the British investigated it in 1776 and 1783. Uncovering stories of espionage, terror, and radicalism, Benjamin L. Carp paints a vivid picture of the chaos, passions, and unresolved tragedies that define a historical moment we usually associate with “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

We all have “favorite places”, and for this week's guest, it is the island of Nantucket. Julie Gerstenblatt has been spending her summers there since she was just a child. Accessible by air or by ferry, Nantucket is located 30 miles off the coast of Cape Cod. Steeped in history, Nantucket was once the whaling capital of the world, and even today, it seems frozen in time. Rooted in the story of the Great Fire of 1846, Julie's historical novel required years of research. Focused on three complex, strong, and determined female characters, Daughters of Nantucket explores the lonely lives of whaling wives, the secrecy of sexuality, and race relations on an island influenced by Quaker values. A lifelong writer and the proud mother of two grown children, Julie holds a doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction from Teachers College, Columbia University. In this interview, she shares the struggles writers often experience. Says Julie: “You write in silence and in secrecy, but you have to share it at some point with people, and you hope it does well, but there is so much rejection.” Always inspired to write books that teach AND entertain, Julie has another historical novel scheduled for release in 2026. She's also ready to share her wisdom about what success really means. “Success is balance and fulfillment on a deeper level. It's not about the material things and the “having,” it's about being content in the “being.” Ready for a little inspiration?

The first ten moms to email Greg@MassImpact.us will receive a drink, a moment of peace, and a copy of my new book, Twelve Roses—a moving story of redemption and hope.We've launched a daily "LIVE IT TODAY" reflection on the daily Gospel, available as early as 6am every day HERE, which is already tracking in the hundreds!Then, we go deep into the Gospel with a powerful episode titled: “Overcoming Elder Syndrome: The Prodigal Who Never Left.”We unpack the five hidden facets of the older brother in Jesus' parable—how many devout, faithful Catholics might be spiritually close but emotionally far from the Father's heart. It's a wake-up call for those of us doing all the “right” things, but missing the joy, mercy, and intimacy at the heart of the Gospel.Tune in. Be refreshed. Be challenged.

Tonight on Veritas, our special guest is Professor Gloria Moss, a researcher who has spent years uncovering hidden truths in history - and what she's found is shocking. We've all been told that history's greatest fires - Rome in 64 AD, London in 1666, Chicago in 1871, Seattle in 1889 - were nothing more than tragic accidents. But what if these fires weren't just random disasters? What if they were part of a pattern? A blueprint for urban transformation, land seizures, and massive shifts in power? Take the Great Fire of Rome. The city burned, and before the ashes cooled, Nero began building his grand palace on the ruins. Or the Great Fire of London. It wiped out the medieval city, but strangely, key financial buildings were untouched - and plans for a redesigned London were already in place. And then there's Chicago in 1871, Seattle in 1889, San Francisco in 1906 - each time, the same story. A fire breaks out, the city is destroyed, and suddenly, a new, more profitable version rises in its place. But here's where it gets disturbing - this pattern isn't just history. Look at Lahaina, Hawaii, in 2023. A fire destroys one of the most historic places in the Pacific. Before the embers cool, developers and government officials are already discussing plans for a "smart city." Or California's so-called "wildfires." Entire communities vanish overnight, only for the land to be repurposed for new government-backed projects. And now, the 2025 Great Fire of Los Angeles. A disaster that wiped out entire districts - conveniently paving the way for LA's "climate-resilient urban redesign." What is really happening here? Are these disasters, or engineered resets? And if they are intentional, who stands to benefit? Tonight, we expose the hidden history of great fires and how they may be part of a much larger playbook - one that's still being used today. Get ready for an eye-opening discussion. Professor Gloria Moss is coming up next.
The AIMS team is at it again as they face up against Appalachian Prometheus, The GREAT FIRE APE! Master of fire... or he eats fire, or has like... fire laser powers?? With the AIMS team on the case there's no way of knowing! Join the BIGFEETS boys for this very special episode of Mountain Monsters, brought to you by AA.
