Donald Ray Middlebrooks is a convicted murderer from Tennessee who was sentenced to death for the 1987 racially motivated killing of 14-year-old Kerrick Majors, a Black teenager. Along with two other white men, Middlebrooks participated in the brutal torture and murder of Majors, who was beaten, stabbed multiple times, and burned with cigarettes in a wooded area in Nashville. The crime was widely recognized as a hate crime, marked by extreme violence and racial hatred. Middlebrooks was identified as the ringleader and was convicted in 1988; his death sentence was upheld despite decades of legal appeals and debates over the fairness of his trial and sentencing. His case drew national attention as a symbol of racially motivated violence and the ongoing struggle for justice in such cases.https://linktr.ee/UnforbiddentruthJoin me on Tik Tok live every Tuesday & Thursday for live interviews.  @unforbiddentruthpodcast ​Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

The American Civil War may have been more consequential to American history (and its global supremacy) than its Revolutionary War and participation in all other world wars. The influence of this war is not just reduced to the victory of the north and its economic infrastructure, but the fact of Union success ushered in the notion of 'what it means to be American' that even the revolution could not instill. European military historian Jeremy Black reorients readers to see what was extraordinary in the civil war of 'the American colonies' and why this was warfare unlike anything that could be properly understood on the world stage at that time. He also examines with expertise the role of foreign powers (or lack thereof). Black's treatment might be the doom of civil war counterfactuals. Was the south destined to fail? Was it weaker motive, faulty strategy, or lack of European support? Was the north just lucky, or possessed of foresight and providential endowment? Black dispels romanticism and sentimentalist hindsight--the American Civil War is unparalleled in many respects, but it is not without clear lessons in warcraft, diplomacy, and cultural-economic impasse. Furthermore, Black's Civil War is a new resource that teaches, reaffirms, and reminds readers of the intensity of the American past--in both error and idealistic impulse--that might continue to guide us to the best future and avoid the lose-lose circumstances of a civil war. Black's acumen for historical review in this case renders a kind of warning: May the leaders of men in the future come to a better way of self-realization than give way to the internal conflict that pits father against son, and sister against brother. But if he must engage, at least understand the distinction between war and politics. Black's objective and concise account is a treasure for students and experts alike who need clarity and insight without too much of an investment. The take-away is an appreciation for the American spirit that civil strife petrified and an understanding of the tactical progression of this conflict and the context of combat of that era.

We kick things off with the latest on the Nigeria visa drama, and Trump's Big Beautiful Bill before diving into explosive updates on the Diddy case and those long-whispered Epstein tapes. Then it's Essence Fest under fire — is the celebration of Black culture shifting under its new Kenyan-rooted CEO? We get into the critiques and culture clashes.

No-one can fail to notice how many statues of Great Men there are around London: stern politicians, military generals, imperial adventurers . . . But what about women? As shown by Juliet Rix in London's Statues of Women (SafeHaven Books, 2025), women are surprisingly well represented amongst London's statues. Recent years have seen new statues of Virginia Woolf in Richmond, Mary Wollstonecraft in Stoke Newington, even boxer Nicola Adams in Brent. But there are also groundbreaking statues commemorating the Black community, notably the two of Brixton resident Joy Battick on its railway station platforms. And you'll find historical figures from Florence Nightingale to Joan of Arc and Edith Cavell – as well as Twiggy. And how many ballet dancers are commemorated, and where? And which famous tennis player was the unlikely model for the young girl with dolphin by Tower Bridge? This is a book that really will make you see London in a new way. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Content Warning: Themes of racism, violence, and police brutality are discussed throughout this episode. Please proceed with caution and care. The U.S. has persistently relied on armed law enforcement to enforce traffic laws. However, existing evidence does not support the notion that police traffic enforcement improves public safety. In fact, police traffic enforcement has serious adverse consequences for community health and well-being, with disproportionate impacts on Black communities. Last year, the Thurgood Marshall Institute published a research brief, Safe Roads for All, which found that police traffic enforcement is not associated with safer roads. This episode of Justice Above All builds upon what is discussed in that brief and presents a community-centered public health approach to traffic safety. Our guests come from the transit safety and police reform worlds. Together, they agree that we can reimagine traffic safety in a way that prioritizes public health and eliminates our heavy reliance on policing. Today's host is Dr. Sandhya Kajeepeta, Senior Researcher and Statistician at the Thurgood Marshall Institute. She is in conversation with the following guests: -Kim Saltz: Justice in Public Safety Project Legal Fellow, Legal Defense Fund Amber Sherman: Policy Organizer, Decarcerate Memphis Tiffany Smith: Program Manager, Vision Zero Network For more information on this episode, please visit https://tminstituteldf.org/driving-while-black. This episode was written and produced by Jakiyah Bradley and Dr. Sandhya Kajeepeta.

Perhaps there has been no greater or more beautiful exhortation written than Saint Isaac the Syrian's homily on temptation. This may seem to be a rather bold statement, but Isaac's words draw us into the very heart of a reality that even many men and women of faith do not see; that is, we are engaged in a spiritual warfare against the Evil One. Evil is not an abstraction or a story meant to instill fear as a means of control. Isaac speaks of it from the perspective of experience and like the other desert fathers, he stands before us as a living and breathing icon, encouraging us to run the course with courage and fidelity. In the spiritual battle, there is no Sabbath day rest; in other words, we must be ever vigilant in regards to temptation that comes to us in many forms. The only one that we must be concerned about is the temptation to which we freely give ourselves over through neglect or laziness or our attachment to particular sins. Rather, we are to take heart from and acquire zeal in our soul against the devil through the example and the histories of those who proved “allies of the divine laws and commandments of the Spirit in fearful places, and amid most grievous tribulation.”  The one in essential thing that this requires of us is that we have in our mind God‘s providence, and always to remember that he is ever faithful, and will not abandon those who trust him. This is our hope - that God is ever present to us in the spiritual battle, strengthening us, and surrounding us with a host of angels and Saints. We have a God who is set upon our salvation and who provides everything that is needed in order that we might be raised even above the ranks of angels. Our Lord has humbled himself, taken our poor humanity and its poverty, embraced it in all of its fullness and weakness in order to raise us up to share in the fullness of the life of God.  Deification is the fruit of the spiritual battle and the promise of our loving Lord! --- Text of chat during the group: 00:03:18 Fr.

Varina Howell Davis, wife of Jefferson Davis and First Lady of the Confederacy played the part well. She was educated, graceful, the picture of antebellum perfection. She hosted elegant soirees at the Confederate white house in Richmond, Virginia and managed a household of around 20 workers, black and white, enslaved and free. But Varina, when examined closely, was not what she seemed. In writing, she referred to herself as a “half-breed” born of the North and of the South. Her political loyalties were suspect as she found herself torn between both causes. And her dark skin and hair. What was that about? People whispered behind closed doors. Was the First Lady of the Confederacy… could she possibly be… Black?

In this episode, Neal shares his experience from a recent night at the LI Chess Club, discussing the challenges of tournament conditions and the nature of 'ugly wins.' The conversation transitions into listener questions, covering topics such as the value of attending chess clubs, the etiquette surrounding draw offers, and the effectiveness of coaching for improvement. Neal also discusses various opening systems for White, emphasizing the importance of having a set repertoire while being open to mixing strategies. The final segment is a commentary on the excellent article 10 White Opening Systems. This episode is a follow-up to Ep. 100: The Hippopotamus Defense and Other Chess Opening Systems for Black. Key Takeaways: Not every game will be perfect; some wins are messy. Playing in uncomfortable conditions can affect performance. Online chess serves as a tool rather than a primary focus. Draw offers can be seen as disrespectful if made prematurely. Higher-rated players often won't accept draws against lower-rated opponents. Coaching can provide insights that engines may miss. Mixing up opening strategies can be beneficial. Applying new systems can enhance gameplay without extensive memorization.

Send us a textIn this episode, we take a deep dive into the career of Three Dog Night, one of the most commercially successful American rock bands of the late 1960s and 1970s. With a signature sound defined by three lead vocalists—Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Cory Wells—the band carved out a unique niche in rock history.How they became masters of turning other songwriters' material into radio gold. From “Joy to the World” to “Mama Told Me (Not to Come),” “One,” and “Black and White,” Three Dog Night racked up 21 Billboard Top 40 hits—more than most of their contemporaries.We'll also discuss the band's musical versatility, their ability to blend pop, rock, soul, and gospel, and the behind-the-scenes tensions that led to their eventual breakup and comebacks. Plus: what makes their catalog still resonate today?

Send us a textGuest: Brent Taylor – Gospel Singer, Songwriter, Pastor, and MentorIn this deeply moving episode of the Stories to Create Podcast, Cornell Bunting sits down with Brent Taylor, a gospel artist and spiritual leader whose journey is a profound testimony of grace, resilience, and redemption.Brent's story begins with a powerful act of love—his 13-year-old birth mother placing him for adoption. He was welcomed into the home of Wendy, a devoted Mennonite, and Glenn, a man of mixed Black and Native American heritage from a Pentecostal background. These God-ordained parents raised Brent in a Christian home filled with compassion, strength, and purpose—nurturing not only him but more than 160 foster children over 35 years.Reflecting on his life, Brent shared,“We are not the sum of what we've been through, but the sum of what God brought us through. We all have a story, but the common thread in all our stories is His grace. His love. His redeeming power. He has walked with us every day of our lives.”Brent opens up about the challenges of growing up as a mixed-race child in a predominantly white community—facing racism, rejection, and misunderstanding in school. Misdiagnosed and mislabeled, he struggled academically, often being called "stupid" and placed in remedial classes. It wasn't until later he was diagnosed with ADD. But through it all, sports and his vibrant personality gave him an outlet—and his parents' prayers kept him going.“I was great at sports and even better with people. Basketball helped me survive school. My personality and my parents' prayers helped me survive life.”Even while he wrestled with his identity and acceptance, God never let go.“When I tried to run, He didn't let me get far. I struggled with knowing who I was, but God always pulled me back.”Brent eventually found his refuge at the piano. There, in the quiet moments of songwriting, he found a voice to speak directly to God. Music became his language. Worship became his way of life.“Worship is more than words—it's the heart's action, a lifestyle of love in spirit and truth. It's our honor displayed to the heart of the Father.”Despite falling short, facing broken relationships, and battling inner demons, Brent never stopped being pursued by grace.“He chose me—even when I wouldn't choose myself. Through all the pain, anger, confusion, and lies, God never left. Through the Holy Spirit, He opened my eyes and my heart.”Tune in to this powerful episode to hear more of Brent Taylor's inspiring journey of faith, healing, and calling—and how God's grace has been the constant thread through it all. Listen now to Stories to Create wherever you stream podcasts.
