On July 30, 2000, an 85-year-old man and his 78-year-old wife are taken hostage and soon after killed in a home in Concord, California. In the following days, three more murders are committed as a trio of offenders seek to leave minimal witnesses behind. When the perpetrators are apprehended and their motivations revealed, the truth behind the bloodbath is as bizarre as it is frightening - a dark and elaborate plan so disconnected from reality it's impossible to comprehend how such violence could be justified in anyone's mind. In episode 350, Jac and Alexis, with the help of none other than Holly Madison, detail the grisly spree killings of Ivan and Annette Stineman, Selina Bishop, Jennifer Villarin, and James Gamble, and discuss how close Playboy magazine's September 2000 playmate, Kerissa Fare, came to this horrifying powder keg situation.

Världens smartaste rättshaverist skrev världens jobbigaste självhjälpsbok. Jenny Maria Nilsson ger sin syn på Friedrich Nietzsches "Så talade Zarathustra". ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publicerad den 28 oktober 2019. ”Det är de tystaste orden som för med sig stormen. Tankar som kommer på duvfötter styr världen”, jag läser från sidan 149, i band sex, av Symposions utgivning av Friedrich Nietzsches samlade skrifter. Det sjätte bandet utgörs av Så talade Zarathustra, vars fyra delar skrevs av den tyske filosofen mellan 1883 och 1885. Vi nietzscheaner älskar sånt: den sortens ord, uttryckta på den sortens vis; poetiskt med ett högstämt och aningens hotfullt anslag. Vad är på gång? Tankarna som kommer på duvfötter, hurdana är de? Kommer de med Dantes nedre kretsar eller med paradiset? En värld av liv och anständighet eller död och ressentiment? Nietzsche är kungen av mystiska och täta formuleringar och allra mest är han det i boken om vad Zarathustra sa. Nietzschean, ett epitet som heter duga! Sedan jag hörde att man kunde vara det (från Albert Camus) har jag instinktivt vetat att jag är det. Oktober 1953 skriver Camus i sin dagbok ”Ofta har jag tänkt på dessa eldar, och dess flammor har dansat bakom hela mitt intellektuella liv”. Flammorna kommer från de eldar Nietzsche tände på stränderna kring Genuas havsvik; han vandrar ensam omkring i bergen efter brytningen med förälskelsen Lou Salomé, gör upp brasor som han står och glor på tills de brunnit ut. Värdet i denna handling, kvaliteten i den, får Camus att placera andra tänkare framför dessa eldar, bara för att se dem reduceras till aska. ”Kyssande den kalla stenen, säger jag: här är ditt första barn i glädjetårar. Gäckande sitter jag på din grav såsom ett hån – skönare än du drömt dig. Sällsamme fader! Dina barn svika dig ej” skriver en annan nietzschean: Edith Södergran, i dikten Vid Nietzsches grav. Liksom Camus dras Södergran till Nietzsche som mal dras till ljus. Alla tre har något gemensamt, de förstår sig på att man inte väljer. Livet, världen, till och med ens intellektuella förebilder: Man väljs av allt det där, inte tvärtom. "Så talade Zarathustra" handlar om att börja välja trots att det inte går. Att märka de osynliga vågor som bär en. Övervinna sig själv och på det viset betvinga ödet och det är vad övermänniskan, Nietzsches omstridda begrepp, innebär. Zarathustra är övermänniskans profet och Nietzsches längtan efter en till gudomlighet uppdaterad människa. Gud är död! Mördad av oss! Säger Nietzsche. Sörj inte. Gud, var en ur människans bitterhet frammanad makt i en förtryckande struktur som upprätthöll det värsta Nietzsches visste: Slavmoralen. Zarathustra är uppföljningen på Guds död, ett nytt moraliskt landskap: Måste vi inte själva bli gudar, helt enkelt för att ge intryck av att vara mordet värdiga? En värld av liv och anständighet eller död och ressentiment? Paradis eller helvete? Camus och Södergran, det är trevliga namn att nämna. Men det finns andra namn, tonåringarna Lindsay Souvannarath och James Gamble möttes online, de var fans till Columbine-mördarna och planerade 2015 en masskjutning i ett varuhus i Kanada. James skulle döda sina föräldrar, Lindsay möta upp, hon kom från USA. För resan packade hon favoritboken, Så talade Zarathustra. Polisen hann stoppa planerna, James tog livet av sig och Lindsay sitter (inne) på livstid. Trots att det vederlagts att Nietzsche var en föregångare till nazisterna, fake news som hans syrra jobbade hårt på att etablera, fortsätter han vara flugpapper för diverse illvilliga och fascister. “Nietzsche, gav mig det röda pillret” säger Richard Spencer, en av USA:s ledande vit makt-nationalister. Att svälja det röda pillret är ett begrepp från filmen The Matrix som alternativhögern använder för att beskriva uppvaknandet till det de kallar sanning: Den vita mannens överlägsenhet och tron att det är just vita män som utsätts för rasism och hat. Tydligen kan man utvinna det ur Nietzsche. Oroar det mig? Att lockas av samma tänkare som de som önskar kategorisera människor och sedan mörda vissa kategorier? Vår art är benägen att hitta flotta namn och läror som rentvår våra sämsta sidor – det oroar mig. Men, jag vet hur Spencer läser Nietzsche – ytligt. Vi för samtal på två vis, med andra och med oss själva. Hannah Arendt beskriver det i sin bok Den banala ondskan. Våra inre samtal gör människor verkliga, i inre dialog värderar och dömer vi oss själva och ger samvete en chans att uppstå. Spencers flacka läsning inspirerar honom till ”Övermänniskan, c'est moi!” En instrumentell tolkning där Spencer använder filosofen som ytterrock för att inte bara försvara sitt mörker utan också ge det legitimitet. Just det är vad Nietzsche försöker komma åt när han lånar in Zarathustragör honom till låtsaskompis och förkunnare. Sluta va den som behöver inordnas, oavsett vilken ordning det gäller. Nietzsches ärende blir att på gott och ont befria människan från alla trossatser. ”Alltför många föds: för de överflödiga uppfanns staten” säger Zarathustra. Förfärligt, eller hur? Låter som nåt nazister skulle gilla. Men de överflödiga är de som vill gömma sig i kollektivet, slippa skuld, alternativt utnyttja gemenskaper för att manipulera andra. Hårda puckar, visst. Din plikt är att bli allt du kan, annars kommer Zarathustra och kallar dig överflödig. Nietzsche vill inte locka någon från skocken till en annan ännu värre skock! Inte från stat till sekt utan från stat till autonomi. Du kommer aldrig att få se en övermänniska marschera i en armé eller bli föreningsmänniska. Vore Spencer nietzschean skulle han döma sig själv, erkänna att det är han som har behov av att känna sig överlägsen. Övermänniskan kan vara ond eller god men är ingen hycklare, hon klär inte ut sina hemliga tyrannlustar i dygde-ord, hon kan drivas av förgrämd högfärd, avund eller hämnd men är fri från tanken på att klä mörker i ljusa glosor. "Om jag inte upptäcker alkemistkonststycket att förvandla också denna dynga till guld så är jag förlorad” skriver Nietzsche till en vän, dyngan = livet. Hans Ruin citerar brevet i sitt efterord. Vid tiden för författandet av Zarathustra är Nietzsches självkänsla låg och självföraktet stort. Men det är tvära kast med Friedrich, enligt honom själv blir Så talade Zarathustra den största gåva mänskligheten fått – dyngan blev till guld. Zarathustra är myt och saga, billiga tricks och djupa sanningar; världens smartaste rättshaverist skrev världens jobbigaste självhjälpsbok. Nietzsche är antisystemets systematiker, han erbjuder en nollpunkt – det kan mycket väl vara nåt gudomligt med det. Tankarna som kommer på duvfötter; helvete eller paradis, anständighet eller ressentiment, Södergran eller en tonåring som ser mord som ett beundransvärt upptåg? Denna nya ”moral” (moral inom citationstecken) som Zarathustra presenterar sedan Gud kilat vidare, låter det inte skört? Jo, det är skört. Hur kan Gud vara god och allsmäktig och världen se ut som den gör!? Ett kristet svar är att Gud gav människan frihet, väljandet gör oss gudsfruktiga. Ok? Vi är Guds labbråttor? Det får Gud att framstå som både grym och överflödig. Men, väljandets betydelse passar in i den moraliska utgångspunkt som Nietzsche råkar skissa. Vägen till värde går genom nihilism; var och en av oss måste förkasta vår tro, tvingas ut i öknen, väl där ropa på vår Gud men bara höra ekot av vår egen röst. Vad svarar du? Det är det som är grejen. Jenny Maria Nilsson, skribent och författare Litteratur Friedrich Nietzsche: Så talade Zarathustra. Översättning: Peter Handberg. Symposion, 2017.

Nietzsche, gav mig det röda pillret säger Richard Spencer, en av USA:s ledande vit makt-nationalister. Att svälja det röda pillret är ett begrepp från filmen The Matrix som alternativhögern använder för att beskriva uppvaknandet till det de kallar sanning: Den vita mannens överlägsenhet och tron att det är just vita män som utsätts för rasism och hat. Tydligen kan man utvinna det ur Nietzsche. Oroar det mig? Att lockas av samma tänkare som de som önskar kategorisera människor och sedan mörda vissa kategorier? Vår art är benägen att hitta flotta namn och läror som rentvår våra sämsta sidor det oroar mig. Men, jag vet hur Spencer läser Nietzsche ytligt. Vi för samtal på två vis, med andra och med oss själva. Hannah Arendt beskriver det i sin bok Den banala ondskan. Våra inre samtal gör människor verkliga, i inre dialog värderar och dömer vi oss själva och ger samvete en chans att uppstå. Spencers flacka läsning inspirerar honom till Övermänniskan, cest moi! En instrumentell tolkning där Spencer använder filosofen som ytterrock för att inte bara försvara sitt mörker utan också ge det legitimitet. Just det är vad Nietzsche försöker komma åt när han lånar in Zarathustragör honom till låtsaskompis och förkunnare. Sluta va den som behöver inordnas, oavsett vilken ordning det gäller. Nietzsches ärende blir att på gott och ont befria människan från alla trossatser. Alltför många föds: för de överflödiga uppfanns staten säger Zarathustra. Förfärligt, eller hur? Låter som nåt nazister skulle gilla. Men de överflödiga är de som vill gömma sig i kollektivet, slippa skuld, alternativt utnyttja gemenskaper för att manipulera andra. Hårda puckar, visst. Din plikt är att bli allt du kan, annars kommer Zarathustra och kallar dig överflödig. Nietzsche vill inte locka någon från skocken till en annan ännu värre skock! Inte från stat till sekt utan från stat till autonomi. Du kommer aldrig att få se en övermänniska marschera i en armé eller bli föreningsmänniska. Vore Spencer nietzschean skulle han döma sig själv, erkänna att det är han som har behov av att känna sig överlägsen. Övermänniskan kan vara ond eller god men är ingen hycklare, hon klär inte ut sina hemliga tyrannlustar i dygde-ord, hon kan drivas av förgrämd högfärd, avund eller hämnd men är fri från tanken på att klä mörker i ljusa glosor. "Om jag inte upptäcker alkemistkonststycket att förvandla också denna dynga till guld så är jag förlorad skriver Nietzsche till en vän, dyngan = livet. Hans Ruin citerar brevet i sitt efterord.  Vid tiden för författandet av Zarathustra är Nietzsches självkänsla låg och självföraktet stort. Men det är tvära kast med Friedrich, enligt honom själv blir Så talade Zarathustra den största gåva mänskligheten fått dyngan blev till guld. Zarathustra är myt och saga, billiga tricks och djupa sanningar; världens smartaste rättshaverist skrev världens jobbigaste självhjälpsbok. Nietzsche är antisystemets systematiker, han erbjuder en nollpunkt det kan mycket väl vara nåt gudomligt med det. Tankarna som kommer på duvfötter; helvete eller paradis, anständighet eller ressentiment, Södergran eller en tonåring som ser mord som ett beundransvärt upptåg? Denna nya moral (moral inom citationstecken) som Zarathustra presenterar sedan Gud kilat vidare, låter det inte skört? Jo, det är skört. Hur kan Gud vara god och allsmäktig och världen se ut som den gör!? Ett kristet svar är att Gud gav människan frihet, väljandet gör oss gudsfruktiga. Ok? Vi är Guds labbråttor? Det får Gud att framstå som både grym och överflödig. Men, väljandets betydelse passar in i den moraliska utgångspunkt som Nietzsche råkar skissa. Vägen till värde går genom nihilism; var och en av oss måste förkasta vår tro, tvingas ut i öknen, väl där ropa på vår Gud men bara höra ekot av vår egen röst. Vad svarar du? Det är det som är grejen. Jenny Maria Nilsson, skribent och författare Litteratur Friedrich Nietzsche: Så talade Zarathustra. Översättning: Peter Handberg. Symposion, 2017.

Profile of anti-Mormon Thomas Sharp (Part 3 of 7)

I think Thomas Sharp should be the ultimate villain in Mormonism, but I'll bet most people don't know who he is.  In our next conversation with Brian Stutzman, we'll learn more about the man who incited a mob to kill the prophet Joseph Smith. https://youtu.be/4uhEG0wjhHY Brian:  Thomas Sharp came from a Methodist family.  In England, in the late 1700s, John and Charles Wesley started the Methodist movement....Thomas Sharp was 22 years old when he came to Warsaw in 1844 or 1840, rather, so he's a rather young man. He tries his hand at the newspaper business with a partner named James Gamble. They spent six months, about, down on the river at the foot of Main. Then they move their press and change the name from Western World to the Warsaw Signal and they go up into an unknown location up on Main Street.  Now some of the tour buses stop and point to building at 204 Main.  They say, "This is where Thomas Sharp published."  That building wasn't built till 1851, way after Thomas Sharp published there, but it was after the Mormon period. ... But the turning point and Ben A. Marshall wrote a paper called the Turning Point of Thomas Sharp. There's some discrepancy over some of the facts here. But when they set the cornerstone for the Nauvoo temple, in April six of 1841, Joseph Smith had a table up front for the dignitaries and some of the dignitaries, one of them was Chief Keokuk, from Iowa, who this town is named after, and he was up at the front table. He invited young Thomas Sharp, again, 22-23 years old to be up at the head table with him and they had this big feasts and a military parade and they set the cornerstone for the Nauvoo Temple. GT:  So at this time, Thomas is still friendly. Brian:  Yeah, neutral at best, neutral or friendly. Sometime after--now, people speculate that that day he turned against the church. There's another historian and she's kind of in my house with me and my wife. We've done some history, Brooke Lethar. She was at BYU. Now she's studying at the University of Utah, and she has found research that it was awhile later before, Sharp turned negative. So there was a time where he was friendly and that he turned negative. So he goes up there and he starts writing terrible things in his paper.  There was a term in in that area about Masons. If you were not a Mason, but you're referring to Mason's there was a term called Jack Mason. ... Thomas Sharp is sitting there, seeing this bloc-voting going on up Nauvoo, and the two main political parties at the time were Democrats and Whigs. He says to his fellow people, fellow residents, he says, we don't have a shot in heck of getting somebody elected unless we join together, put our differences aside, and maybe we can get somebody elected locally. So he and Aldrich, again, these are two guys stood trial, and the guy named William Roosevelt. William Roosevelt was the cousin to Teddy Roosevelt's father. They're living in Warsaw and they get together and they create this political party in 1841. It's called the anti-Mormon political party. That wasn't a mob. It wasn't hostile, at least at first, but it was a political party to try to outvote the Mormons. Well, in 1842, Thomas Sharp decides to run for a seat in the state legislature. Well, who was he was he opposed by?  The prophet's little brother, William Smith, and William Smith beats him. In 1844 when Joseph Smith was running for President Thomas Sharp talks about running for the United States Senate, and then he learns that Hyrum Smith, the prophet's brother was considering running for the same seat in the United States Senate and Sharp withdrew. Check out our conversation…. It is surprising that Thomas Sharp is not more well-known among Church members. He literally started the anti-Mormon political party! Don't miss our previous conversations with Brian! 307: Economic Reasons Warsaw Hated Joseph 306: The Anti-Mormon Triangle: Warsaw, Carthage, Nauvoo

Hello and welcome back to rememberinghistory.com where we are remembering history and we’re making it.   I’m Robin, the host of this podcast show and I’m so glad that you have joined me for the opening of this important podcast series. Our history makers in this series will make you stand up and cheer. Or perhaps they’ll make up sit down and grab a book. Why? Because in this series, we focus on a group of history makers that are often forgotten: The educators. Teachers, tutors, lecturers, writers. People from all disciplines who teach our children or learners of any age. This is such an inspirational group and I’m gonna tell you why I think so.   First, I strongly believe in education. I guess that’s not breaking news. Oh well, I just had to say it anyway. But here is some breaking news: many of the greatest Black educators hailed from very humble, even disadvantaged backgrounds. Some were former slaves. Some were children of former slaves. They were sharecroppers who worked the fields from a young age. Or they were kids who struggled academically, faced racism or sexism, were labelled learning disabled or unteachable, had disciplinary problems or were denied even the most basic education. But what did they do? Did they give up? Did they accept those labels or accept that education was unavailable to them? Never!   The educators that I’ll present in this podcast series overcame their difficulties, focused on their goals and worked tirelessly to learn.   But they didn’t stop there. They continued and applied their focus, determination and faith to make sure that every child gets an education and develops the skills to work towards their dreams.     Wow, they improved their lives and the lives of countless others. These people made a difference. And if they made a difference, it shows that we all can make a difference and improve the lives of others and improve this world. That’s why I find history so inspirational. The real stories of real people making a real difference! And these great Black educators were champions.   I will start discussing them in just a moment but I want to mention a few details. First, the rememberinghistory.com website is a great place to get more information, more inspirational stories and more inspiration every day. So, please visit the website and get inspired. Second, while you’re there, feel free to leave your comments about, well, anything that’s on your mind. We are a group of fun and friendly historians and we welcome everyone into the fold. Also, take a look at the books & stuff store where you will find books, of course, but also articles, DVDs, audiobooks and other sources of inspiration and history. Remember all the resources that you will find are personally vetted by me so you can trust the quality and authenticity of whatever you purchase. And if you find a book or whatever that you don’t like, send me a comment at the website. I read all comments so I will definitely take your views seriously. At the Rememberinghistory, we believe in accountability. You won’t find that in many places on the Internet but you can definitely find it here. You can also find an inspirational t-shirts, bracelets, greeting and post cards and lot of other items to remember history and to be inspired. And, finally, look for (and “like”) us on Facebook under the Rememberinghistory page and the Rememberinghistory Podcast page. Great information and great discussions in both places. Lots of fun and lots of inspiration.   Without further ado, let’s get straight to discussing great Black educators and how they inspired their students and how they can inspire us.   Let’s begin with someone who might be a household name. Well, I hope that she’s a household name! Mary McLeod Bethune! She is absolutely one of the foremost educators in American history and she definitely is an inspiration to us all. But I’m jumping ahead of myself. Let’s hear her story. Get ready to stand up and cheer.   Born in 1875 to former slaves in Mayesville, South Carolina, Mary Jane McLeod was the 15th of 17 children in the sharecropping McLeod family. Her mother was a domestic worker and her father worked in the cotton and rice fields. Eventually, the family saved enough money to purchase a small piece of land and they became full-time farmers. Mary Jane MacLeod worked in the fields from the age of 5 but early on developed interest in education and reading. She attended a 1-room school for Black kids. Mary Jane was the only child who could attend school so she learned everything that she could during the school day then taught it to her siblings at night. She later received a scholarship to the Scotia School for Girls.   After completing her studies, she married and took the name (that we all know and love) of Mary MacLeod Bethune. She and her husband, Albertus, moved to Florida and opened a small missionary school for prisoners. In 1904, Mary MacLeod Bethune founded the Dayton Normal & Industrial Training School for Negro Girls. The school opened with 6 girl students and her son, Albert.   The school had a very rigorous schedule, beginning the day at 5:30 am for Bible study. They studied home economics and developed industrial skills like dress-making, cooking and, as she called it, “techniques of self-sufficiency”. Later the school taught science, business, math, English and foreign languages. The rigorous day ended at 9:00pm every night for the school’s 250 students. Yes, that’s right. The school grew from just 6 students to 250 students in just a few short years!   MMB was a master fundraiser, getting donations from prominent businessmen like James Gamble (of Proctor & Gamble) and Booker T. Washington. But MMB strongly believed in self-sufficiency so the students also made and sold sweet potato pies, ice cream and fried fish to raise money for operations and supplies. MMB always focused on developing the school and educating kids to be self-sufficient. In 1929, 25 years after the Dayton Normal & Industrial Training School for Girls opened its doors, the school merged with Cookman College to become a co-ed facility called the Bethune-Cookman College. The college remained open and operational through the Depression and exceeded the educational standards set by the state of Florida. In 1941, the Bethune-Cookman College became a fully accredited college in the state of Florida. And it is still open and operational with students from around the country and abroad. In fact, Bethune-Cookman UNIVERSITY celebrated its centennial anniversary in 2004. From its humble beginnings as the Dayton Normal & Industrial Training School for Girls through its merging with Cookman College and finally its accreditation, Bethune-Cookman University has been educating girls and boys, women and men for 100 years! Its motto is “Enter to Learn. Depart to Serve.” Go take a look at BCU on the RH Facebook page page, see its student body, look at its curriculum. You will definitely be impressed.   MMB is quoted as saying “I had faith in a loving God, faith in myself and an endless desire to serve.” And these qualities extended beyond the field of education. Dr. Bethune was active in the early civil rights movement serving as president of the Florida chapter of the National Association of Colored Women. During this time, she fought for voting rights for African Americans.   So, education and civil rights. What more could MMB be involved in? One a personal level, she was committed to economic independence so she invested in many businesses like a newspaper and several life insurance companies. She felt that all women should be independent economically. And she did teach these skills for many years beginning with her school for girls that she founded in Florida in 1904. She was a true visionary, well ahead of her time.   This dynamic woman had the ambitious goals of educating African Americans, securing economic self-sufficiency for African American women and men and ensuring civil rights and equal rights for African Americans. We have to stop here discussing MMB but, if you want more information, and I really hope that you do, you can find it in the Books & Stuff store at the rememberinghistory.com website. I want to highlight one resource that you might find particularly interesting. It is a DVD called Mary McLeod Bethune: The Spirit of a Champion. This DVD was made in 2008 and will give you lots more information about this great woman—yes, there is a lot more to say about her—and will inspire you to go beyond your limits. In fact, her story will help you to remember that there are no limits. MMB once said, “Without faith, nothing is possible. With faith, nothing is impossible.” Nothing is impossible. Yes, she coined this wise statement.   And it so true!   MMB: a great educator, activist, advisor and woman.   But we need to move on discuss another ambitious, Black educator. Her work was more recent than MMB but had no less of an impact. Here is a quote from her:   “Teachers need nothing more than books, a blackboard and a pair of legs that will last the day.” Do you know what great educator made this true and profound statement? Marva Collins. And she not only talked the talk but she also walked the walk. And she helped so many children to learn and excel in school and in life. Her story is a lesson in vision, determination and compassion. Without further ado, let’s tell her incredible story.   Marva Collins was born in Monroeville, Alabama in 1936. Her father was a merchant, a cattleman and an undertaker. Her mother was a homemaker. She was raised in a small town just outside of Mobile, Alabama. Young Marva attended a strict elementary school based in a 1-room schoolhouse. Now I mention these “minor” details because her experience in the tiny and strict elementary school would have a profound impact on her later in her life and career.   Marva Collins always believed in the value of education. However, she saw that many students, especially black students, were being labeled as learning disabled and even unteachable. Some showed disciplinary problems or difficulties. Many of these children were either kicked out of school or quit school at an early age. Marva Collins, who had worked as a full-time substitute teacher in Chicago for 14 years, decided that this was unacceptable. And she decided that she could fix this problem.   What did she do?   She used her $5,000 pension savings to open a school for kids who had been rejected by other schools. Her school was a low-cost private school dedicated to teaching low-income African American students, particularly those labeled (erroneously as she asserted) as having a learning disability or unteachable. Her school was called Westside Preparatory School. Its doors opened in 1975, located in the basement of a local college. The school opened with 4 students, one of whom was her own daughter. Later, the school moved to the top floor of her brownstone home. Westside Prep focused on high academic standards and discipline in a nurturing environment. It used the Socratic method of teaching (modified for use in primary school), taught phonics and classical subjects. Soon the school grew to have more than 200 students ranging from nursery school to 8th grade.   Marva Collins developed a method of teaching that reached and educated all students, especially the students that had learning difficulties under other teaching methods and the students that showed behavior problems. Collins criticized the teachers and the teaching methods, not the students. Collins said she had the data to prove that these students were teachable and were able to overcome obstacles of learning using her teaching methods. These methods also focused on behavioral issues and allowed students to learn and flourish. Westside Preparatory School remained open for 30 years. It officially closed its doors in 2008.   But Marva Collins didn’t stop there. She also created Westside Preparatory Teacher Training Institute to teach these methods to other teachers. You know, they said that true genius is the ability to create other geniuses. Marva Collins definitely showed her genius to the world and to the people who didn’t believe in her methods. Many teachers are now using the Collins method in schools across the United States.   In 2004, when accepting the National Humanities Medal (one of many awards that she received for her teaching and dedication), Marva Collins noted that there were no dropouts and no substitute teachers. When teachers were absent, the students taught themselves.   “Kids don’t fail,” she once said. “Teachers fail, school systems fail. The people who fail to teach children or who label them as unteachable, they are failures — they are the problem.” She noted, “Our children are self-motivated, self-generating, self-propelled.”   Those are essential qualities for all children—in the classroom and in life. Marva Collins was a true educator!   Do you want to know more about Marva Collins? I really hope so because there is so much more to know about this amazing woman, this incredible and dedicated educator. Of course, there are several books in the Rememberinghistory.com books and stuff store, but I want to highlight a television docu-drama called The Marva Collins Story, made in 1981, and starring Cicely Tyson and Morgan Freeman. You can find this excellent film in the books and stuff store at rememberinghistory.com. This is a great movie for the whole family and will make you want to stand up and cheer!     Well, that’s all for this podcast! I know, it’s a lot. I think that there were some surprises and lots of inspiration. I wish that we had more time but I think that you get the picture and I hope that you want to learn more about these great educators. Also, I really hope that you will leave your comments at the rememberinghistory.com website or the Rememberinghistory Facebook page. We love to hear your comments and have an interesting exchange of ideas. Perhaps you are an educator. I would love to hear what motivates you and how you motivate your students. Perhaps you were one of Marva Collins’s students, attended her teaching teacher training school or you attended Bethune-Cookman University. We would love to hear your experiences there. (Isn’t it fascinating to realize that their work is still having an impact today!) History does not happen in the past. It is being made today and every day.   So, I’m glad that you came and I hope to that you will join us for the next podcast about Black educators. The next podcast is going to focus on educators who were Black men. Yes, there were many and they also had an impact though this can sometimes be forgotten. Well, we won’t forget them here. Join us for that exciting and inspirational podcast; you’ll stand up and cheer! And just a sneak peek into the final podcast in the Black educators series; we’ll look at historically Black colleges and universities and their impact today. You’re gonna love that show; I promise! And remember: Without faith, nothing is possible. With faith, nothing is impossible!   So, I look forward to seeing you at rememberinghistory.com where we are remembering history and we’re making it.   Bye for now!

China is planning a program to promote cultural cooperation among countries along the ancient Silk Road. The Ministry of Culture says the program is aimed at improving cooperation in fields such as the entertainment business, tourism, protection of cultural heritage and sports. The Silk Road is an ancient trade route connecting China with Europe through Central Asia for centuries. During his visit to Central Asia last September,Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward the idea of a Silk Road economic belt. This cultural program is part of efforts to realize the new Silk Road economic belt concept. The program will include an annual cultural forum, joint production of TV shows, films and animation, trade and cultural events. The central government and provincial governments along the Silk Road will work out preferential policies for the program. The cultural ministry is working on detailed schemes for the program. This is NEWS Plus Special English. A Chinese documentary series "A Bite of China II" has seen widespread nostalgia for hometown delicacies. The series is a sequel to the 2012 hit of the same name. The first episode of the new season was aired at China Central Television in mid-April; and people have been pouring out their regrets that they are no longer capable of cooking their hometown delicacies. A local resident in Beijing Du Wenwen says that once her mother spent a week at her home, leaving a fridge full of tasty dishes. Du says that unlike her mother, she will probably leave only fast food coupons for her own children. "A Bite of China II" has eight episodes, and each episode was made by a different team. It covers the stories of more than 150 people and over 300 different dishes. The new season focuses more on people's life stories, while displaying delicious food. You're listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Yun Feng in Beijing. A photo exhibition is being held in Beijing to mark the 95th anniversary of the "May Fourth Movement", an important cultural and political movement in modern-day China. Hosted by the New Culture Movement Memorial of Beijing and Duke University Libraries, the exhibition displays 140photographs showing China's "May Fourth Movement" and people's lives in early last century. The photos were taken by American photographer Sidney Gamble, grandson of James Gamble, one of the co-founders of Proctor and Gamble, or P and G. In early 1900s, photos were rarely seen in China, and few survive today. Gamble captured valuable historical moments from the perspective of a sociologist, and preserved those images well. The pictures on display include students delivering speeches, being arrested by the authorities, and protesting during the "May Fourth Movement" in May of 1919. Experts say the exhibition opened a window for the Chinese people to better understand their history and complement existing historical document for that period. The "May Fourth Movement" started with students' protests on May 4, 1919 against the government's response to the Treaty of Versailles that imposed unfair penalties on China and undermined the country's sovereignty. It then became a national campaign to overthrow the feudal society and promote scientific and democratic ideas. Gamble was then a secretary for the Beijing Young Men's Christian Association. He witnessed and documented this pivotal event. In 1908, he began taking pictures in China during his first trip in the country with his family. Gamble has been in Beijing several times, and he traveled widely in China. He conducted socio-economic surveys, and photographed urban and rural life, public events, architecture and the countryside. This is NEWS Plus Special English. The contracted transactions at China's biggest animation festival near Shanghai were almost 14 billion yuan, or more than 2 billion U.S. dollars. The week-long China International Cartoon and Animation Festival was held in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province. The festival attracted a record 1.4 million visitors. Participants include 600 companies and organizations from around 70 countries and regions. 12 industry trade and exchange activities have been held, and more than 400 animation-related products were released. China's animation industry has seen rapid growth in recent years, and around 30 animation films were made in the country last year with a total box office of around 650 million, 50 percent more than the previous year. Domestically-made animation films are expected to account for 10 percent of China's total box office earnings in the next two to three years, compared with 5 percent last year. The festival is held in Hangzhou annually since 2005.
