Dr. Julian E. Kunnie, professor of religious, Latin American, Middle Eastern and North African studies at the University of Arizona. It has been over 20 years since the publication of Dr. Julian Kunnie's prescient and perspicacious treatise, Is Apartheid Really Dead?: Pan Africanist Working-Class Critical Perspectives, and nine years since we first dialogued with Dr. Kunnie about his book (podcast episodes 9 and 10), so what is the political terrain of Azania (South Africa) today? Is the analysis of Is Apartheid Really Dead? in regards to post-apartheid Azania still relevant today? Is Azania finally a fully sovereign nation run by its autochthonous inhabitants? If not, is it on its way? Or worse, is Dr. Kunnie's analysis just as relevant today as it was when his book was first published; which means Azania is still suffering under neocolonial hegemony, which makes true revolutionary Pan-African working-class sovereignty for Azania a mere chimera? In this episode of Conscientization 101 podcast, we present part one of a three-part dialogue with Dr. Julian Kunnie in regards to these vexing questions. And while the aforementioned book was the original impetus for this dialogue; we also incorporate Dr. Kunnie's other publication, The Cost of Globalization: Dangers to the Earth and Its People (podcast episodes 23-25), his forthcoming book The Earth Mother and the Assault of Capitalism: Living Sustainably with All Life–scheduled for release on April 23, 2025–as well as a myriad of other topics. In part one of our scintillating series with Dr. Kunnie, we set the stage for parts two and three, by giving an analysis of the impact of imperialism on the world's people and ecosystem, and much more. We also debut our new podcast intro: written, mixed, and performed by our esteemed brother Raggo Zulu Rebel! We also discuss details about our new Conscientization 101 Premium Podcast subscription; as well as the hand Raggo Zulu Rebel played in assisting us with our premium podcast subscription by introducing us to UK based music producer–and graphic designer we might add–Morfius! A very providential occurrence indeed. And if that wasn't enough, we also discuss the following: Settler colonialism, Palestine, and why resistance against settler colonialism is never a casus belli The election of a choleric, misanthropic, septuagenarian to the U.S. presidency. The utterly absurd, out of touch, and reactionary presidential campaign of the Democratic party Neocolonialism and wokeness And, much more! This episode features music from: Conscientization 101– "Decolonize This? Properly Defining Settlers – Part 1" Fela Kuti – “Confusion Break Bones (C.B.B.)” from his album Underground System Wise Intelligent – “Robbers, Barons, And Bankers” from his album El Negro Guerrero Raggo Zulu Rebel – “Freedom” (feat. Spliffy & Killa B) from his album The Rainmaker Donnie Mossberg – “Tragedy Mix” Excerpts for our Morfius anecdote were from the following: Cyclonious – “My Name Is Morfius” from his Heroes For Hire album Big Cakes – “The Outro” from his album CCC, and “Twitter” from his album KFC (we purchased this album on November 13, 2014, but when researching for the link to this album on November 26, 2024, we noticed the only place this was available was on Big Cake's Bandcamp page, and this track no longer on the album) Raggo Zulu Rebel – “Give It To Dem” (feat.

New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the world's greatest cultural institutions. Its holdings encompass a vast range—including paintings, sculptures, costumes, instruments, and arms and armor—and span millennia, from ancient Egypt and Greece to Islamic art to European Old Masters and modern artists. How did the Met amass this trove, and what do the experiences of the people who bought, restored, catalogued, visited, and watched over these works tell us about the museum? The Met: A History of a Museum and Its People (Columbia University Press, 2024) by Dr. Jonathan Conlin is a groundbreaking bottom-up history of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exploring both its triumphs and its failings. Dr. Conlin tells the stories of the people who have shaped the museum—from curators and artists to museumgoers and security guards—and the communities that have made it their own. Highlighting inequalities of wealth, race, and gender, he exposes the hidden costs of the museum's reliance on “robber barons” and oligarchs, the exclusionary immigration policies that influenced the foundation of the American Wing, and the obstacles faced by women curators. Drawing on extensive interviews with past and current staff, Conlin brings the story up to the present, including the museum's troubled 150th anniversary in 2020. As the Met faces continued controversy, this book offers a timely account of the people behind an iconic institution and a compelling case for the museum's vision of shared human creativity. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new 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.

In this episode, Susan Croce Kelly returns to discuss her new book, Newspaperwoman of the Ozarks: The Life and Times of Lucile Morris Upton. To listen to Susan's previous appearance on Our Missouri, check out Episode 21. About the Guest: Susan Croce Kelly serves as managing editor of OzarksWatch Magazine.

During the height of the Cold War, a group of small-town young men would lead their underdog hockey team from the little country of Czechoslovakia against the mighty Soviet Union, the juggernaut in their sport and the superpower in their neighborhood. As they battled on the ice, the young players would keep their people's quest for freedom alive, and forge a way to fight back against the authoritarian forces that sought to crush them. Join us as University of California, Davis, political science professor Ethan Scheiner, whose research focused on the intersection of politics and sports, discusses what he found out while researching and writing his new book Freedom to Win: A Cold War Story of the Courageous Hockey Team That Fought the Soviets for the Soul of Its People—and Olympic Gold.  From the sudden invasion of Czechoslovakia by an armada of tanks and 500,000 Warsaw Pact soldiers, to a hockey victory over the Soviets that inspired half a million furious citizens to take to the streets in an attempt to destroy all representations that they could find of their occupiers, Scheiner tells a story that ranges from iconic moments in history to courageous individual stories. At the heart of the tale is the Holíks, a Czechoslovak family whose resistance to the Communists embodied the deepest desires of the people of their country. Faced with life under the cruel and arbitrary regime that had stolen their family butcher shop, the Holík boys became national hockey icons and inspirations to their people.

'A masterful love letter' is how one reviewer has described the latest book by the prolific Professor Feargal Cochrane. Just when you thought that no more could be written on the history of this place, you'd be wrong, because 'Belfast: The Story of a City and Its People' is a timely and welcome contribution to the past, present and future of the place that many of us call home.I have been itching to have this chat with Feargal ever since the publisher Yale University Press got in touch about the possibility of a podcast episode with the author. And then, of course, I read the book and had so many questions that I wanted to ask.Finally then, after a long wait, I managed to get on a call with Feargal Cochrane and here's the result...Support the show

The popes of Rome emerged from the humblest of beginnings. The first was a fisherman, charged with spreading the word of God under the watchful eye of a pagan Roman Empire. But just a few centuries later, the papacy had flourished into one of the wealthiest, most powerful institutions on the planet. Surviving the rise and fall of great empires, including that of Rome, the Vicars of Christ became crucial arbitrators on the world stage.So what can the lives of the popes tell us about the history of Rome? And how is it that the leaders of a minority cult came to be more powerful than the Emperors themselves? Dan is joined by Jessica Wärnberg, a historian of the early modern world and author of City of Echoes: A New History of Rome, Its Popes, and Its People to answer these questions and more.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.Discover the past on History Hit with ad-free original podcasts and documentaries released weekly presented by world-renowned historians like Dan Snow, Suzannah Lipscomb, Lucy Worsley, Matt Lewis, Tristan Hughes and more.

An Ambassador from the Kingdom of the Kongo to the Papal Court On July 20, 817, Pope Paschal began a project to transform the Church of Santa Prassede, the resting place of the sisters and martyrs, Pudenziana and Prassede, executed in the second century, legendarily believed to be daughters of the Roman senator Pudens, the first or one of the first converts of St. Peter himself. To accompany them in their rebuilt church, Paschal removed 2,300 bodies from the catacombs and interred them in walls that were covered with glittering, colorful mosaics, lit by hundreds of candles. It was symbolic of everything the Roman church  had been, and had become: built upon the bones of martyrs, but now wealthy, sponsored by the Emperor of the West, and shepherded by a powerful Bishop, who at the very least was first among equals.  Indeed, as my guest writes, Paschal had himself depicted “shoulder to shoulder with Peter, Paul, Pudenziana, and Prassede.”  This was a key moment in the history of papal Rome–a period in the history of the city in which the Papacy was key to the identity of both the place and its inhabitants. With Constantine's removal of the imperial capital to the new city of Constantinople, the papacy gradually became the point of reference for Romans, and then eventually for all of those people in western Europe who called themselves Christians. Eventually, even though its universal and awesome power had diminished by the middle of the nineteenth century, it still took an army to remove the Papacy from its position at the city's heart. And still, from time to time, it has the ability to relativize all other powers in the city. My guest Jessica Wärnberg is a historian of the religious and political culture of Europe. She has written about popes, princes, inquisitors, and Jesuits. She is the author of City of Echoes: A New History of Rome, Its Popes, and Its People, which is the subject of our conversation today. For Further Investigation The episode is illustrated with a photograph of the Church of Santa Prassede, looking towards the altar and the portraits of Peter, Paul, Prassede, Pudenziana, and Pope Paschal in the apse. The small illustration is of the Kongolese ambassador to the Papal Court. If you're new to the podcast, and liked this episode, you'll also like my conversation with philosopher Scott Samuelson about his book Rome as a Guide to the Good Life: A Philosophical Grand Tour For a taste of that classical Roman stuff that we avoided in the discussion–or some of the lower layers of the Roman cake–try this conversation with Ed Watts about the later Roman Republic.   Conversation with Jessica Warnberg [00:00:00] Al: Welcome to Historically Thinking, a podcast about history and how to think about history.

EPISODE 1581: In this KEEN ON show, Andrew talks to Ethan Scheiner, author of FREEDOM TO WIN, about the the courageous Czechoslovakian hockey team that successfully fought the Soviets for the soul of its people Ethan Scheiner is a faculty member in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Davis. His research and teaching focus on the intersection of politics and sports. Scheiner is the author of Freedom to Win: A Cold War Story of the Courageous Hockey Team That Fought the Soviets for the Soul of Its People—and Olympic Gold (July 4, 2023 release): A classic David & Goliath tale, complete with colorful heroes, cold-hearted villains, and nail-biting games—with the hockey rink serving as an arena for a nation's resistance. Scheiner's research and teaching also focus on important issues surrounding democratic representation. Scheiner's first book, Democracy Without Competition in Japan: Opposition Failure in a One-Party Dominant State (2006 at Cambridge University Press) offers an explanation for opposition party failure in Japan, a democracy dominated by one party since 1955. Scheiner's second book, Electoral Systems and Political Context: How the Effects of Rules Vary across New and Established Democracies (co-authored with Robert Moser, 2012 at Cambridge University Press), examines elections around the world to understand when electoral rules will – and will not – have the effects typically expected of them. In addition, Scheiner was the co-editor, along with Robert Pekkanen, Steven Reed, and Daniel Smith, of the Japan Decides book series editions that offered analyses of the 2012, 2014, and 2017 lower house elections in Japan. He has also published articles on political parties, elections, and electoral systems across a range of political science and Asian studies journals. Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

Dr. Parrillo and Dr. Ansari present a cross-cultural study of Hizmet schools in seven countries of varying histories and ethnic compositions. Some are fairly homogeneous, while others are longstanding multicultural, multiracial societies. Some have Muslim-majority populations, others a small Muslim minority. Through hundreds of interviews with students, parents, staff, and financial supporters, the authors explored individual perceptions and experiences, as well as the triad of student, parent, and school interaction. Analyzing the commonality of the schools' structures and processes in different settings, they offer their insights about the schools' success in achieving their twin goals of offering quality education and promoting interethnic harmony.   About the Author: Vincent N. Parrillo Prof. Emeritus, Sociology, William Paterson University Vincent N. Parrillo is the author of numerous books and journal articles, some of them translated into ten languages.

In this episode Barbara Sharfstein, 92, a veteran Pan Am flight attendant, joins us to talk about her flying career, tragedy over the Amazon, and a concert in the sky with Louis Armstrong. Barbara joined Pan Am in 1951 and after 35 years of service with the airline as a flight attendant, purser, check purser, and 747 in-flight director, she was transferred to United Airlines in 1986 when the Pacific Division was sold.  She then worked for United for another six years before retiring in 1992. When first hired, Barbara traveled onboard several groundbreaking and innovative aircraft—the Convair CV-240, the Lockheed Constellation, the DC-4, and most memorably, the Boeing 377 “Stratocruiser.” Barbara flew to numerous international destinations and was based in many of Pan Am's divisions throughout out her career, but she most fondly remembers working the fabled Round the World flights…Clipper 001 and 002.Barbara will discuss  Pan Am Flight 202, a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser named Clipper New Hope, that crashed in the Amazon Basin on April 29, 1952 killing her good friend and roommate, Pat Monaghan. All 50 people on board were killed, 41 passengers and 9 crew members, in what was the deadliest-ever accident involving the Boeing 377 Stratocrusier.The accident happened shortly after departure from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, enroute to the first schedule stop in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. The final destination of this flight was New York. The investigation took place under exceptionally difficult conditions in the jungle, and the exact cause of the crash was never established. However, it was theorized based on an examination of the wreckage that the number two engine had separated in flight after propeller blade failure and debris likely penetrated the fuselage causing a catastrophic in-flight breakup.Barbara's story is featured in the book tilted “Pan American World Airways: Aviation History Through the Words of Its People” by James Patrick Baldwin, Jeff Kriendler, and Leslie Giles. During her aviation career flying around the world working for the airlines, Barbara also found great success in San Francisco real estate when she was not on duty in the air. Her crowning achievement was the development of a one-acre parcel of land in the Twin Peaks neighborhood of San Francisco into a subdivision of twenty condos. Many say it has one of the best views of the city! Today, Barbara volunteers at the San Francisco International Airport Aviation Museum. As a volunteer, she enjoys sharing her stories and lending her time ever since the international terminal was rebuilt in 2000. Additionally, she served as the editor of the World Wings International San Francisco Chapter newsletter, having excelled in that position for the past twenty-five years.Barbara  resides in San Francisco.--------------------Visit Us for more Pan Am History! Support the Podcast!Donate to the Museum!Visit The Hangar online store for Pan Am gear!Become a Member! Follow us on Facebook,

15THE SKATING PARTY was scheduled for a Friday night. During school that day, I began to exhibit signs of illness. By the end of the day, I had made all the arrangements. I told Veronica that I was coming down with a twenty-four-hour virus and I was sure that I would begin vomiting at about the time that the skating-party bus left the high school lot. She was terribly disappointed, but she accepted Stretch as a substitute escort, since the party meant so much to her. Stretch was surprised. I gave him the tickets and lent him two dollars to make sure that he and Veronica had a good time.     By the time the school day ended, only one thing remained for me to do. On the way home from school, I sat in the seat right behind Porky, and I told him most—but not all—of the story.     “What?” said Porky. “You mean another guy is taking your girl to the skating party? Hey, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on them. I'll make them sit right up in the front of the bus and I'll keep the lights on the whole way back. And I'll drive straight back to the school, too. He's not going to get away with anything while I'm driving.”     I opened Our Town and Its People and removed from it a new five-dollar bill. “Here, Porky,” I said, handing it to him. “Do me a favor. Take the long way home.”Have you missed an episode or two or several?You can begin reading at the beginning or you can catch up by visiting the archive or consulting the index to the Topical Guide.You can listen to the episodes on the Personal History podcast.

7ON THAT AFTERNOON late in September, Veronica and I were walking home together after school. It was a Wednesday, and Veronica ordinarily had a piano lesson after school on Wednesdays, but Veronica's piano lesson had been canceled. Mr. Getchel, the music teacher, had not come to school because he had cracked a tooth while using his teeth, as my mother had told me never to use them, in an attempt to remove the cap from a tube of toothpaste.     Veronica was quite nervous about the social studies test that we would have the next day, a test based on the first three chapters of Our Town and Its People, a history of Babbington that all fifth-graders were required to study.     “We can study together,” she suggested.     “All right,” I said.     “I'll ask you questions that might be on the test,” she said.     “I think I should ask you questions instead,” I said.     “How come?” she asked.     “Because I know the answers better than you do,” I said. “You're the one who needs to study.”     She burst out laughing. “You're a funny guy, Peter,” she said.     “I am?” I asked.     “You sure are,” she said. “What's the sense of asking me the questions if I don't know the answers? I'll just sit there saying nothing, won't I?”     “Well—”     “Or else I'll just answer them wrong, and that isn't going to get me anywhere, is it?”     “No, I guess it isn't.”     “But if I ask you the questions, then I'll learn the answers from you.”     “I guess you're right,” I said     “Of course I'm right,” she said.     I didn't want to argue with Veronica, but in a corner of my mind I was beginning to form a vague hunch about how children came to have the vacant look that Frankie usually wore, and that hunch made me wonder whether any child that Veronica bore might not wind up with a version of Frankie's vacant look.     We turned the corner of Veronica's block, and she stopped short. A red convertible was parked at the corner, several houses away from Veronica's. Veronica held a forefinger to her lips. She leaned toward me and whispered, “That's Jack's car.”     “Who's Jack?” I asked.     “He's—” she began, but she stopped at once. She looked steadily into my eyes for a moment, and I could see from the way she drew her eyebrows together that she was making a decision. Finally she said, “Come with me, but don't make a sound.”     She led me to the back door of her house. I stood behind while she opened the door, slowly and silently. We stepped soundlessly into the kitchen, and Veronica began closing the door as slowly and silently as she had opened it. From upstairs, as from a great distance, came a shriek from Mrs. McCall, a squealing, crazy sound that might have been made by a madwoman or a frightened piglet. Veronica and I looked at each other. “You want to see?” she asked, whispering into my ear.     “See what?” I wondered. I wanted to go home. I wanted to stay in the kitchen and ignore any sound that came from upstairs. I wanted to see. I wanted to go home.     Veronica tilted her head to one side and raised her eyebrows, calling for an answer. I swallowed, but I said nothing.Have you missed an episode or two or several?You can begin reading at the beginning or you can catch up by visiting the archive or consulting the index to the Topical Guide.You can listen to the episodes on the Personal History podcast.

Amarna Tales (Part 1). East of Akhet-Aten (Amarna), a walled-village hides among the hills. This "East Village" is a well-ordered, secluded community. It seems to be the new home of pharaoh's tomb builders. Originally, they lived at Deir el-Medina in west Luxor. But when Akhenaten founded his new royal city, the tomb-builders left their homes and came here. Today, archaeologists have uncovered a vast amount of material. Homes, animal pens, chapels, and countless artefacts shed light on daily life and family organisation in ancient Egypt. From homes to chapels, guard-houses to water depots, the East Village offers fantastic insights. It even includes traces of Tutankhamun, before he abandoned Amarna...Episode details:Date: c.1355 - 1340 BCE.Location: Akhet-Aten (el-Amarna).Kings: Akhenaten, Neferneferuaten, Tutankhaten/Tutankhamun.Logo image: A battle standard or soldier's emblem, with a sigil of Wepwawet (Kemp 2012).Music by Keith Zizza www.keithzizza.net.Music by Bettina Joy de Guzman www.bettinajoydeguzman.com.Music interludes by Luke Chaos https://twitter.com/Luke_Chaos.Bibliography:Read reports on the East Village and other aspects of Amarna's archaeology free, at The Amarna Project.M.

It happened like this:     Before I was born, Babbington was a stable little community, dependent on—and redolent of—the clamming industry, with some small appeal for tourists. No one living in Babbington then would have predicted that within five years a period of rapid growth would begin that would last throughout my childhood. The effects of this growth were broad and deep, both on Babbington and on me.     Most of the reasons for Babbington's phenomenal growth were not unique to Babbington: the population of the entire United States, indeed of the entire world, was growing rapidly in the postwar years, which these years were, and large numbers of people, especially young fertile couples, were choosing to live in places more or less like Babbington. However, the most important single reason was unique to Babbington, and that reason was Stretch Mitgang.     Mitgang, a sociologist with psychohistorical interests, moved to Babbington just a year or so before I was born. Passing himself off as a psychosocial historiographer, Mitgang undertook a two-year study of the sexual practices of Babbingtonians. His charm and good looks made it easy for him to ingratiate himself with Babbingtonians of all stripes, so he was able to gather reams of data, thousands of anecdotes, tens of thousands of tall tales, and quite a few firsthand experiences. When he had gathered the material he needed, Mitgang disappeared. A couple of years later, he published the results of his research under the title Seafood and Sex: a Study of Life in a Coastal Town.     In his book, Mitgang included the data, history, and logical cement that readers expected, but he also laced the book with anecdotes about Babbington and Babbingtonians that were, for their time, quite frank (and probably exaggerated), and he also included photographs that were, for their time, frank to an extreme (and probably staged). Seafood and Sex has been out of print for years, but if you take the trouble to track down a copy, you will understand why it quickly became a best-seller and why the book itself became a primary reason for Babbington's rapid growth.     Mitgang waxed Whitmanesque in his enthusiasm for the general good health of the citizens, the “unflagging vigor that they bring to the day's labor and the night's delight.” This he attributed to the generally salubrious effects of bracing salt air. He went on to praise the “mesmerizing seductiveness of its women, at once shy and bold, endearingly naive and shockingly inventive, teasing and complaisant.” These qualities he attributed to the aphrodisiac effects of moonlight on the bay. In describing the men, Mitgang returned again and again to their “sturdy thighs, priapic grandeur, and remarkable endurance,” which he attributed to the habit of hard work and to the eating of clams. That did it. As soon as the book was published, outsiders began flocking to Babbington, and the population began an accelerating rise.     The newcomers moved into a town that was already sharply divided culturally. Clamming had always been important to the town, but after the War of 1812, for reasons too complex for me to explain here, chicken farming and processing became an important secondary industry. In the early years of this century, there occurred a series of riots during which clamdiggers attempted to drive chicken farmers out of Babbington. Most historians refer to the period during which these riots occurred as the Chicken Purge; however, the clamdiggers attacked the chicken farmers with, among other weapons, the tongs that they used for harvesting clams from the bay, and because of this unorthodox use of the clam tongs, this unpleasant period is sometimes referred to as—and I apologize for this—the Tong Wars.     Call it what you will, it was an ugly time in Babbington's history, one that just about everyone would rather forget. But it had such a powerful effect on the culture of Babbington that it can't be—and, I think, must not be—forgotten. At the time, the clammies claimed that runoff from the chicken farms was fouling the bay, and there was probably some truth to the claim, but it was not the real reason for the animosity that they felt toward the chicken farmers. I think we can find the real reason if we read between the lines of a passage in Our Town and Its People, a social studies text that all fifth-grade Babbingtonians were required to study, a text commissioned by the Daughters of the Tong Wars. Of the chicken farmers that textbook said, in part:Chicken farming is easy work, suitable for people who cannot do much else. As a group, chicken farmers are a happy-go-lucky lot. Like the birds they raise, they pass most of their lives eating, sleeping, and copulating. They live in blissful ignorance of time and tide.     I infer from this passage that the clammies were simply envious of the chicken farmers. The chicken-farming culture seemed to offer a life that was easier, happier, and more exciting. Their own lives were hard, sometimes miserable, and often dull. But most of all, the chicken-based culture must have seemed sexy.Have you missed an episode or two or several?You can begin reading at the beginning or you can catch up by visiting the archive or consulting the index to the Topical Guide.You can listen to the episodes on the Personal History podcast.

Today is a very special and personal episode to me. For our session today, I've invited over my grandmother to share with us a whole bunch of important life lessons she's accumulated and learned throughout her 97 years on God's green earth. From growing up with a love for music, to taking inspiration from her husband and dedicating her life in service of others-- all for the glory of God. Be sure to listen in as this episode features her commencement speech for the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, sprinkled with little inspiring stories from her life! Episode Highlights: Nell's childhood, growing up in the arts-- particularly music Her marriage and meeting her husband, Bill Getting involved with her community, becoming a community leader The Milltown Murals and “Lila” Her message for people contemplating marriage, the 3 A's and 3 C's It is never too late for change Lessons I Have Learned Through the Years by Nell Patten Roquemore Through the years, I have learned a few valuable lessons that I want to share with you. Hopefully, you graduating students may find them helpful in starting out your adult life. I was born in 1924 in Milltown, before it became Lakeland. As a child, I was painfully shy. As a teenager, I was still very shy, especially with boys. Had it not been for a boy named Bill Roquemore, I probably would have ended up an old maid. Bill and I had a blessed marriage, although it was not perfect, and we added considerably to the population of Georgia and South Carolina. Music has always been an important element of my life. My mother started me in piano lessons when I was about six years old. When I was ten she decided I should learn to play the violin. At age twelve I played at my first wedding. At about thirteen I played at my second wedding: Ellene Jones and Monroe Atkinson. Sixty-five years later I played at Monroe's funeral. I am still playing at church every Sunday, and occasionally at weddings and funerals. I have enjoyed attending the ABAC Concert Band performances for the past several years, and am impressed with the quality of your music program. I hope that those of you who have performed in the various ABAC musical events will keep your talent alive throughout your life. Music provides a constant joy to your everyday existence. One lesson I have learned is that big things can happen where there is encouragement and cooperation. Getting back to Bill Roquemore: He was my devoted husband as well as my mentor. As a World War II B-26 pilot, he had assumed great responsibility while still a teenager. He became a citizen of Lakeland a few years after we married, became editor of the Lanier County News, and turned into an outstanding community leader. He encouraged me to take part in community and civic affairs, while raising our five children and working full-time. My first effort, at Bill's suggestion, was to organize a county-wide cleanup campaign. Under the auspices of the Lanier County Garden Club, county agent John Strickland and I co-chaired an organization that came to be known as “Lila”, standing for “Let's Improve Lanier's Appearance.” John was the husband of ABAC's beloved journalism professor Helen Strickland. We recruited a representative of each target area, such as churches, cemeteries, old abandoned cars, roadsides, schools, etc. The committee met regularly and scheduled a certain week to concentrate on each phase of the campaign. Because of the enthusiasm of the committee and profuse publicity in the Lanier County News, the campaign was hugely successful and won state and national awards. Although “Lila” is now forty-eight years old, her very small committee still meets monthly. You may have seen our “Milltown Murals” in Lakeland. That project was initiated by “Lila”, who continues to grow, maintain, and underwrite the murals. My employment history included school teacher, clerk of the draft board, medical secretary at Moody Air Force Base, and Lakeland postmaster. After my retirement as Postmaster, Bill decided I should run for city councilman, which I did, serving two years as chairman of the sanitation committee. I have learned that preserving family history is extremely important. One of the most rewarding projects of my life was compiling a family history, “Roots, Rocks and Recollections.” That led to compiling a county history, “Lanier County: The Land and Its People.” These two books have proven to be well worth the nineteen years I spent working on them. I have learned that golf is an important sport. Bill and I had thought, like many non-golfers, that chasing a little white ball around for half a day was a foolish waste of time. Bill was forced to take up the game when he started building golf courses. It was not long before he was hooked. Soon, I took up the game, and we played regularly for many years. Through golf, we renewed old friendships and gained new friends who enriched the rest of our lives. Incidentally, it's pretty good exercise if you walk a lot. Some of you in this graduating class will soon be contemplating marriage. There is a wonderful rule for a successful marriage that I learned too late to apply to my own marriage but I urge you to make a note of it: The three A's: Affection, Admiration, and Appreciation. And then there are the three C's, which I learned from my son Jim, who had taken the Dale Carnegie Course as a young man and found it of great benefit in his life and career. The three C's are: Don't Criticize, Don't Condemn, and Don't Complain. Two important lessons I have learned through the years are easy: Smile at people and always say “Thank you” when it is deserved. It is never too late to change your direction. I had joined the Baptist Church at age 11 at a revival, along with my sister and brother and 13 others, mostly children. Bro. Johnny Harrell baptized us in the southeast corner of Lake Irma. I have gone to Sunday school and church for many years. But something was lacking in my spiritual life. Three and a half years ago, at age 89, I asked the Lord to come into my heart and take complete charge of my life. I wish I had done that a long time ago. I like Dr. Wayne Hanna's favorite scripture: Psalm 37: 4: “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Thank you so much for listening! See you on our next episode!

  Many of our great cities are known for one or two things. Detroit certainly for the auto industry, San Francisco for the 60s and Tech. Houston for the oil industry, and Los Angeles for Hollywood. New York in so many ways transcends that. Sure it’s the home of Wall Street and the capital of finance, but without putting down any other cities, New York stands alone as a pantheon to the very ideas of cities themselves and all that they represent. The great chronicler of cites Jane Jacobs said “that by its nature, the metropolis provides what otherwise could be given only by traveling; namely, the strange.” Very few cities, other than New York offer that strangeness.The ability to round the corner and be surprised, Craig Taylor get to the heart of this in New Yorkers: A City and Its People in Our Time    My conversation with Craig Taylor.

This week on the Richard Crouse Show Podcast we meet Craig Taylor, author of "New Yorkers: A City and Its People in Our Time." Taylor is a chronicler of some of the world's greatest cities. His book "Londoners" was called the "best book about London in at least a decade" and the new one on New York City, which is made up of profiles of bodega cashiers, hospital nurses, elevator repairmen, emergency dispatchers; the people who wire the lights at the top of the Empire State Building, clean the windows of Rockefeller Center, and keep the subway running. It's a book about the New York you don't often read about and it is already getting rave reviews. The Independent called it, “Jaw-dropping…enthralling…Start spreading the news: Taylor's book is a stunning work of modern social history." Then Anthony Q. Farrell joins us. He's a former stand up comedian who has written for "The Office," was executive story editor for "Little Mosque on the Prairie" and is known for his work as a writer on the Nickelodeon sitcom "The Thundermans." He's back with two new shows "The Parker Andersons" and "Amelia Parker" which you'll find on the Super Channel. What makes these shows unique is that they are two stand-alone comedy series, each with their own storylines and episodes, but are connected by larger overarching plot lines tying the two independent shows together. Finally, you know my guest Lucas Hedges from his Academy Award nominated performance in "Manchester by the Sea" and you've seen him in "Lady Bird" and the film "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri." His latest movie, "French Exit" has him starring opposite Michele Pfeiffer. He joins us to talk about his claim that he took on the role of the son of a soon to be broke Manhattan socialite because he wanted to be bored while playing a character.

How did Britain's working class fight to overthrow early capitalism? In the early 19th century, the industrial revolution was rapidly creating a big new social class in Britain: the working class. Workers produced huge amounts of new wealth for the ruling capitalists, but had appalling conditions and no say in politics. Sound familiar? Trade unions appeared for the first time, formed by workers to fight in the workplace. But they quickly realised that this alone was not enough. The bosses used political power to restrain or reverse what the workers could win by industrial struggle alone. The Chartist movement was the world’s first working-class party. Its ‘People’s Charter’ demanded a massive extension of democratic rights for workers – with the goal of using that to improve their material conditions. But increasingly, experience taught Chartist workers that petitioning alone was not enough either. Ultimately, revolutionary struggle was the only way for workers to gain power – or even win more rights within the capitalist system. How did the Chartists develop their ideas and methods of struggle? What was the outcome of the movement? And what can we learn from it today? This episode of Socialism looks at Britain’s revolutionary working class: Chartism.

Quote: “Where do you want to start?” —Farhad Azad About: Afghanistan has far too often been referred to as a place where countries go to die, it is a graveyard of empires. This moniker has been cited so many times and for so long that it’s unclear who first said it. Even the Afghan community will recite this pride. But what a title like this fails to convey is that while this might be a country responsible for the many tombstones of others, it very well is also a moratorium of progress for itself, a state in perpetual arrested development. This is also a cemetery for countless Afghans who, in more modern times, failed to see any empire rise. Why do some countries get to debate their histories while others have their legacy determined by outsiders? And what gets lost along the way? This is Part II of a multi-part story on how history, current events, and culture all complicate the Afghan identity.  Show Notes: [00:30] “The Layers of Heaven” by Jovica [00:45] The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini [00:50] The Breadwinner by Deborah Ellis [01:15] Re: Is it hard to have fun when you have a library card?

As Confederate monuments come down across the country, the historic Bellamy Mansion’s intertwined stories of Southern prosperity and slavery have only invited more questions about the history of the 160-year-old Wilmington residence and what it has to say about the city’s past and present. This week’s episode of the Cape Fear Unearthed local history podcast digs deep into those questions with an exploration of its defining family and their ties to the Confederacy; the experiences of the Black men and women, both enslaved and free, who built and ran the house; and what role the mansion now plays in the conversations of race and politics. Joining this extended episode are Bellamy Mansion Museum director Gareth Evans and operations manager/site historian Leslie Randle-Morton, who talk about the history of the house after the war, the involvement of the Bellamys in politics and major events like the 1898 Wilmington Coup, and why the house can be such a valuable resource today, especially in 2020. Cape Fear Unearthed is written, edited and hosted by Hunter Ingram. Additional editing by Adam Fish. The show is sponsored by Northchase Family Dentistry, Tidewater Heating & Air Conditioning, and Cape Fear Pharmacy.

In the 1870s, new farmsteads on the American plains were beset by enormous swarms of grasshoppers sweeping eastward from the Rocky Mountains. The insects were a disaster for vulnerable farmers, attacking in enormous numbers and devouring everything before them. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the grasshopper plagues and the settlers' struggles against them. We'll also delve into urban legends and puzzle over some vanishing children. Intro: In 2001, a Washington earthquake drew a rose with a pendulum. In 2003, Japanese web designer Nobuyuki Kayahara created a curiously ambiguous animation. Sources for our feature on the grasshopper plagues: Jeffrey A.

The Four Corners is that area of the southwest where Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico come together. It is rich in Pre-Columbian history and gorgeous western landscapes. Today Bill Naiman and I discuss a few of the icons of this area: Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly, Mesa Verde and some lesser known locations. Canyon de Chelly in far northeastern Arizona is very near the small town of Chinle, AZ in the Navajo Nation. Nearby accommodations are limited to the town of Chinle and to the national monument campground. The Anasazi ruins can be viewed from the canyon rim, but to really see the canyon you need a Navajo guide. I recommend Beauty Way Jeep Tours owned and operated by Leander Staley. www.canyondechellybeautywayjeeptours.com 928-674-3772 Monument Valley lies within the Navajo Nation on the Arizona-Utah border. You can see part of Monument Valley by paying $20 per car and driving the 17-mile auto tour route.  If you want more than the typical tourist photos, you need a Navajo guide. I recommend John Holiday who can be reached at 435-444-9760. John is a very nice guy and a great photo tour guide.  He lives in Monument Valley and knows it well. He will get you to the right spots for sunrise and sunset on time and in the best spots. Accommodations in Monument Valley are limited consisting of Goulding’s Lodge and Campground and The View hotel. I’ve stayed in the Lodge and the campground.  The campground is quite nice.  The lodge is pretty basic.  If you want something fancier, check out The View hotel with its wonderful views of Mittens and a price to match. Mesa Verde is a national park located in southwest Colorado near the town of Dolores. There is a great visitors center at the park entrance just east of Dolores.  To see the actual ruins you need to drive into the park 21 miles which requires about an hour. Much of the park is above 7,000 feet and may be closed in winter. To see all parts of the park, you need to arrive after May 1st. Ranger led tours actually take you into the ruins, but again only after May 1st. Check the park website for actual dates and information about the tours which should be reserved well in advance.  www.nps.gov There are accommodations in the park, but once again they do not open until mid-April. See their website at www.visitmesaverde.com or call 800-449-2288. Other lodging is available in nearby Dolores or Cortez, CO.
