Former Vice President Mike Pence will be given the the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.

Join us as Carl Eby takes us into the nooks and crannies of the Hemingway archives at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston. We will discuss the legendary JFK #112 and JFK #113, two discarded and highly provocative chapters from Hemingway's posthumous novel Islands in the Stream.We explore where the discarded material in the JFK Library fits into Islands in the Stream, who cut it and why, and how Hemingway studies would have been different if the novel had included this charged material. We also closely examine certain words from these files, such as "perversions" and "surprize" and “devil.” Eby is President of the Hemingway Society and has focused much of his research on Hemingway's posthumous work. Recently, he published Reading Hemingway's The Garden of Eden for Kent State University Press's Reading Hemingway series. Eby has joined us previously for an episode on The Garden of Eden manuscripts, and he also inaugurated our One True Sentence series with One True Sentence #1, a discussion of Hemingway's "Paris 1922" sketches. Thanks for your continued support of One True Podcast!

  Declassification of Records Concerning the Assassinations of President John F. Kennedy – The White House Declassified CIA Donald Heath memo: 104-10103-10024.pdf The President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection | National Archives On January 23, President Trump issued an Executive Order for a creation of a plan to release JFK files. Why do we need a plan to release the documents? This is concerning to JFK researchers. Under Biden's 'plan', withheld JFK records wouldn't be released until the 2040's. Withheld JFK records are not limited to the collection of JFK files held by the archives. Larry wrote a letter to the White House Council, informing the council of the larger scope of JFK files. There are records not in the known JFK collection that should be searched for & disclosed. When the ARRB was shut down due to lack of Congress funding, several searches were underway. The ARRB entered an agreement with the CIA & National Archives to continue searching for files. The National Archives was responsible for supervising these searches, this ended with ARRB's closure. Bobby Kennedy had taken records from the White House very shortly after JFK's assassination. Could these files that Bobby removed from the Oval Office be related to Cuba? Before being shut down the ARRB had been negotiating with RFK's family trust to release RFK's files. The ARRB promised not to have Bobby's files included in the 'assassination' files. Sheridan was RFK's right hand man, working for NBC to undermine the Garrison investigation. When the ARRB requested Sheridan's files from the JFK Library, the library sent the files to NBC. The ARRB tried to sue Walter Sheridan's estate to try to get these records back. Case died with ARRB. In Carlos Marcello's recorded conversations to cell mate & FBI agent, does he admit to guilt in murder? Why haven't these recordings been heard? Where are the transcripts to review? Transcripts from another Marcello's sting that were released caused confusion within the ARRB. The FBI announced they have mysteriously 'discovered' 2400 new JFK records? How is this possible? Larry's court case against the National Archives exposed to him that the NSC has hijacked the process. Trump's administration offered early retirement for CIA officials. Will new staff comply with release? President Trump just fired 150 people from the NSC. Will the changing of the guard make a difference? Remaining unreleased RFK files are mainly files from the LAPD & LA District Attorney. The RFK files are not beholden to any particular statute like the JFK Act. The are MLK files are in the possession of the federal government & local government in Memphis. Supposedly a plan was submitted for release of files on Feb. 7th, with coverage from WCAB radio. Statutes do not stipulate that files can't be released until everyone mentioned in file is deceased. In efforts to stop records from being released, Congress denies requests if people are still living. We need someone representing the public interest involved in the release of the JFK files. There needs to be a public committee formed to help facilitate & supervise this entire process. Why does the National Security Council insist releasing JFK documents is AGAINST public interest? CIA officials conducted a private investigation into the Cuban exiles associated with the assassination. The JFK investigation isn't just a historical event, current policies were created based on false events. To avoid FOIA requests, Hillary Clinton & others use private servers, apps etc. to communicate. Deed of Gifts & IRS tax records are not currently included in Trump's Executive Order. The Manchester notes will not be released until 2067 under current legislation. We will see over the next couple of weeks if the JFK files will be released! Watch this carefully!

I'm a boots-on-the-ground leader. I think of St. Ignatius, who said, “It's deeds, not words,” and Bill Belichick who said: “Do your job!” -Grace Cotter Regan You've heard of Boston College, right? Well, there's a high school not too far away that bears the same name. Founded in 1863, the schools were initially created as a 7-year educational experience for the children of Irish Catholic immigrants. Separated into (2) distinct schools in 1927, Boston College High School had never had a female president until 2017. bchigh.edu. In the spotlight, Grace Cotter Regan. Appointed as the first female president of the 1400 student boy's school, she has spent the last five years as a change agent on a mission to advance Jesuit education. In this interview, the proud mother of two says she felt called to the role. Her father had been at BC High for 50 years as a beloved student, teacher, coach, athletic director, and guidance counselor. In fact, Grace was born on the day her dad started working at Boston College High School. Situated at Columbia Point, BC High is an urban campus located beside UMASS/Boston and the JFK Library. “It feels like a university campus,” says Grace. Our motto is: “We find God in all things. Our gospel values drive everything we do.” She's responsible for enrollment, advancement, finance, and external relations, including fundraising with an alumni network that is 16 thousand strong. BC High's former students are a constant source of inspiration to the student population, with graduates who have gone on to become athletes in the NFL, NHL, NBA, Major League Baseball, 4-star generals, politicians, visual artists, stage and screen actors, and Olympic Gold Medalists.

The JFK Library plays an important role as a place where original documents, photographs, audio, film, and other artifacts from John F. Kennedy's presidency are preserved. While the pandemic interrupted some of the Library's normal activities, archivists used the time to reduce a large digital backlog of materials waiting to be published online. Archivists Stacey Chandler and Abbey Malangone provide an update from the archives it returns to post-pandemic operations.

The JFK Presidential Library & Museum is holding its 12th annual Presidents' Day Family Festival tomorrow. WBZ's Shari Small has details.

Political Scientist and presidential scholar Stephen Knott has a new book specifically focusing on the 35th president, John F. Kennedy. This book is not exactly a biography, since it is an interesting analysis not just of Kennedy himself as president, but also the context in which Kennedy is considered, understood, and positioned. Coming to Terms with John F. Kennedy (UP of Kansas, 2022) is also a kind of intellectual autobiography of Knott himself, and his evolving consideration of Kennedy as president, but also Kennedy within our collective imaginaries. Knott started his career at the JFK Library in Massachusetts, and he traces how this initial encounter with Kennedy hagiography and the protection of the Kennedy idea contributed to his own skepticism about Kennedy as president. At the same time, Knott has spent much of his intellectual career researching and analyzing presidents from George Washington to Joe Biden, and he has come back to Kennedy to re-evaluate his own assessment of this famous and tragic president, and, importantly, the reality of President John F. Kennedy as opposed to the sanitized and mythologized version of the 35th president. Coming to Terms with John F. Kennedy re-examines the historical touchstones of the Kennedy Administration, digging into what really happened during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the kinds of concessions that were made to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, instead of the cinematic heroics of the way this incident is usually portrayed. Knott also explores the critique of Kennedy in regard to civil rights and racial progress—re-assessing the more critical narrative about Kennedy and his disconnection from these issues—finding, instead, that Kennedy was moving forward with caution but with commitment. Kennedy's words themselves are also a key focus of the book—from the best-known speeches to more obscure presentations of presidential rhetoric. And while JFK is often lauded for his oratory, Knott makes the case that the appeal in Kennedy's speeches and rhetoric is to our better angels, as citizens and as a country, which is particularly important to understanding the role and place of the United States in this post-WWII period. This analysis positions Kennedy within a rather rarified pantheon as one of America's top orators—with speeches that reflected a patriotic literacy, advocating for unity, and appealing to reason. This is a fascinating book, graceful and accessible in the writing, and interesting in the many threads woven together to consider Kennedy's presidency itself and the position it occupies in American history and our understanding of the United States.

State Supreme Court Candidate Spotlight - Season 3, Episode 7Ohio's lingering redistricting fight has clearly shown that who sits on the Ohio Supreme Court matters. And beyond redistricting, the Ohio Supreme Court justices also make important decisions on major issues that impact public education, educators and students. That's why OEA members have recommended Justice Jennifer Brunner, Judge Terri Jamison, and Judge Marilyn Zayas for election to three open seats on Ohio's highest court this fall. They introduced themselves to members at a Member Activist Forum last spring.MORE | OEA Members can learn more about the OEA Member-recommended candidates on the ballot in their community by visiting Ohioballot.com.

Thanks to a twist of fate, the archives of Ernest Hemingway have been mostly preserved here at the JFK Library. Learn more about that story from the Library’s Hemingway scholar in residence and hear from two of the filmmakers about how the Ernest Hemingway Collection played a key role in the new documentary.

Former Massachusetts governor and current senator of Utah Mitt Romney has been named this year’s recipient of the JFK Profile in Courage Award. The JFK Library stated that is was Romney’s “historic vote to impeach President Donald J. Trump in 2020 and his consistent and courageous defense of democracy” that earned him the award. Do you think Sen. Mitt Romney is a suitable recipient of this award?

12-23-20Dear Home Base Nation,This second season of our show has come to an end, and so has 2020. Even though the country and world look ahead to a continued difficult situation in 2021, there is always something hopeful about a new year, along with the natural reflection that we all can use now.Personally, I’ve learned a lot from our guests both military and civilian, especially in that with challenge, comes opportunity to build back and overcome. Resilience is somewhere in all of us and learning to adapt to change and adversity might happen over months to years, or as quickly as days to weeks. Thanks to the HBN team - Brendan McCaffrey, Charlotte Luckey, Steve Monaco, Karianne Kraus, Moe Roderick, Dan Berg, Natalie Bonelli, and DeeDee Kearney, who join weekly with one goal of bringing new episodes that we are proud of, and hope you continue to enjoy. Season 2 included conversations and stories with amazing people who in their own unique way, continue to serve those who’ve served.HBN military guests: Army Veteran and Director of the JFK Library in Boston, Alan Price taught us about JFK’s obstacles and support of the Green Berets and Peace Corps. Green Beret Kevin Flike told his own story of resiliency post trauma, while inspiring us to push forward. Airforce Veteran Bonnie Carroll moved us with her stories and new ways to look at life after loss. Army Colonel David King told us about operating in the trauma trenches, at home in his own city, during the Boston Marathon Bombing. Lieutenant General Mike Linnington inspired us to carry our brothers and sisters on our backs both in and out of a pandemic. Navy Veteran Abby Malchow and Marine Veteran Beau Higgins educated us about the transition to work from battlefield to Amazon Warrior. British Navy Veteran and Chef Robert Irvine taught us about balance of selfcare in and out of the kitchen. Marine Veteran Alisa Johnson, Founder of Dogs on Deployment inspired us to follow our passions at all times.HBN civilian guests: Home Base COO Michael Allard, Drs. Jeannette Ives Erickson and Giles Boland, along with Brigadier General Jack Hammond told the story of the COVD-19 field hospital, Boston Hope that treated more than 700 people during the Spring surge. Dr. Emily Silverman, writer and hospitalist at UCSF gave perspectives on all of our narratives, especially on the frontlines of a COVID unit. Ken Fisher taught us about how a family business built much more than buildings for thousands of military families both in US and abroad. Jake Tapper took us back to The Outpost in Afghanistan to tell the story of not only a battle but about the lives of 9 men who we lost. ICU Nurse Ericka Coutts taught us about a marathon of a pandemic in and of itself. And David “Big Papi” Ortiz showed us how he learned to run the bases again after fighting his own trauma.To close out 2020, you'll hear Home Base’s Executive Director, Brigadier General Jack Hammond talk about this unprecedented year, while looking ahead at hope, collaboration, and taking care of our own body-mind-and-soul, so that we can best take care of each other. The Home Base team has done the pivot, and will continue to deliver the specialized care for those with TBI and PTS, build the Special Operations programming led by Drs. Ross Zafonte and Alexis Iaccarino / Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, and promote resilience and wellness for not only our veterans, but their military families who all serve. Thank you all for tuning in, for sharing part of your day with us and for all your support of our veterans and military families. I look forward to seeing you back in 2021 for a new year and new season of HBN, with many more inspirational conversations coming your way.Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year,RonTo learn more and connect with us at Home Base:www.homebase.org/homebasenationTwitter,Facebook,Instagram,LinkedInHome Base Nation Team: Steve Monaco, Marine Veteran Brendan McCaffrey, Maureen Roderick, Charlotte Luckey, Karianne Kraus, Dan Berg, DeeDee Kearney, Natalie BonelliProducer and Host: Dr. Ron HirschbergMusic: Darden Smith Home Base Media Lab Chairman: Peter SmythHome Base Nation is the official podcast of Home Base Program for Veterans and Military Families, a partnership of the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Red Sox Foundation.The views expressed by guests to the Home Base Nation podcast are their own and their appearance on the program does not imply an endorsement of them or any entity they represent.

This episode follows our conversation with Staff Sgt. Kevin Flike, a Green Beret, and Alan Price, an Army Veteran and the current JFK Library and Museum Director, released on 8-24-20.Staff Sergeant Kevin Flike is a true role model for so many in any culture, and for both service members and civilians. He continues to educate us through public speaking, his work with the Green Beret Foundation, and through academic leadership that began at the Sloan school at MIT and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Make sure to check out Kevin’s 2019 documentary Wounded by War for an incredible view of his story of injury and resilience. The US Army Special Forces is the special operations force established in 1952. Throughout the 1950s the Green Beret was worn as an unofficial part of the SF uniform, until 1961 when President JFK authorized the GB as the official head gear. JFK called the green beret "a symbol of excellence, a badge of courage, a mark of distinction in the fight for freedom."Many thanks to the JFK Presidential Library and Museum for hosting the Home Base team for this conversation, Leslie Feinberg our government relations director, and Army Veteran Pat Smith, Home Base’s Special Operation’s liaison. Thank you Staff Sergeant Flike for your service both before and after 2011, and thank you to Kimberlee Flike and your family for their service over these trying years. To learn more and connect with us:www.homebase.org/homebasenationTwitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedInHome Base Nation Team:Steve Monaco, US Marine Corps Brendan McCaffrey, Maureen Roderick, Charlotte Luckey, Karianne Kraus, Chuck Clough, DeeDee Kearney, Natalie BonelliProducer and Host:Ron Hirschberg Thank you to:Photography - Joe Wallace for photographyOn location recording - Chuck Clough of Above The Basement  Introduction scene and "Taliban Fight" score - David G.

While JFK was only a year old at the time of the 1918 Flu Pandemic, Ernest Hemingway, whose papers are housed at the JFK Library, was old enough to witness and record his thoughts throughout the pandemic. Hear from Hemingway scholar Susan Beegel to learn how the flu affected his family and loved ones while he was a young man overseas in World War I.

Seven-time nominated and two-time GRAMMY winner Shaggy was born Orville Richard Burrell in Jamaica, and after moving to New York at 18, he would soon enlist in the Marines. Two years into service he deployed with the 10th Marine Regiment to the Persian Gulf, and he looks back at that time as one of the building blocks of discipline that helped launch him into superstardom into the world of Dancehall and Reggae music.For Shaggy, music has been a vehicle to bring different kinds of people to the same experience. But after meeting him, it’s not just the music that does this, it’s the spirit and grit that undoubtably were shaped by Marine discipline and deployment.Many thanks to Shaggy for joining the Home Base Nation line-up, for your service as a US Marine and for what you bring to unity through music. Special thanks to Tracy Bufferd at team Shaggy and Sting for all your collaboration and support.To get to know Shaggy more, see what he is up to for 2020, and to check out the New solo album Wah Gwaan, visit www.shaggyonline.comMusic:Boombastic (Shaggy, Livingston, Floyd)Soldier's Story (Shaggy, Pizzonia, Roston, Truhn, Ducent)Many thanks to the staff at the JFK Library and Museum in Boston, MAPhotography - Joe WallaceIntroduction music - Darden Smith To learn more and connect with us:www.homebase.org/homebasenationTwitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedInHome Base Nation Production Team:Cassandra Falone, Charlotte Luckey, Steve Monaco, Warrant Officer One Armand Hunter, Sergeant Major Bill DavidsonHome Base Media Lab Chairman:Peter Smyth The views expressed by guests to the Home Base Nation podcast are their own and their appearance on the program does not imply an endorsement of them or any entity they represent.

This is a complete recording of of the Inaugural Address by JFK. It is sourced from the JFK Library and is unedited. You can get an ebook version for free here: https://librecron.com/product/inaugural-address-by-john-f-kennedy/ On January 20th, 1961, John F. Kennedy was sworn in as the 35th president of the United States. On that day, he gave his only inaugural address; he was assassinated November 22nd, 1963. During his speech, Kennedy addressed several things – what it meant to be American, the problems facing the world (namely, the power to destroy civilization several times over), and the long road that Humanity, as a species, faced. Kennedy wrote his inaugural address with the help of Ted Sorensen, his special counsel, adviser, and primary speechwriter. According to Sorensen, the most famous line in the speech – “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” – was written by Kennedy (although he later claimed that he didn’t remember who had come up with it). As Kennedy came into power during the height of the Cold War, he had to strike a balance with his speech. He had to present the United States as a power that wouldn’t back down in the face of adversity or tense relations, but also as one that wouldn’t do anything to provoke another country. He stressed the importance of peaceful relations between America and other countries, and lending a helping hand to the parts of the world that were overrun with poverty. The speech spoke to the importance of striking a balance. War couldn’t be used to solve every problem and with the advent of nuclear weapons, it was all the more imperative to ensure that rival nations (such as the United States and the U.S.S.R) not act in such a way to devolve relations. Ideally, they would come together in some way to bring the devastating power under control and use the power at their fingers to do what was right & just. Kennedy wanted separate sides to be able to reach across the table and meet the other on decisions that would be not only mutually beneficial, but beneficial to the world. To learn more about JFK, The Classic Biography and Profiles in Courage are good starts. Five Days in November focuses on the assassination, while Let the Word go Forth focuses on his speeches and texts. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/librecron/support

If you picture President Kennedy, you might imagine him sailing confidently on the sea, or charming visiting heads of state, or tackling questions from the press. But below that cool exterior, JFK was actually kind of a nerd. We speak with JFK Library archivist Stacey Chandler to get a closer look at the man behind the cool sunglasses and clever remarks.

Meet the JFK Library’s new curator Janice Hodson, as she discusses her background, how she found herself at the JFK Library, and a sneak peak at a new exhibit next spring. As a special treat (no tricks!), we will also revisit a Halloween story from the Kennedy White House.

40 years after the opening of the JFK Library, we speak with its first two directors, Dan Fenn and Chuck Daly, as they recall the events that led up to the Library’s dedication and their work establishing its mission. We will also speak with current Library Director Alan Price about his vision for the future of the Library.

Part 2 / final: “Beneath the Mississippi moon, somebody better investigate soon” When President Kennedy delivered the first sentence of his address to the nation in the early evening of September 30, 1962, “James Meredith is now in residence on the campus of the University of Mississippi”, he was not aware that US marshals who had come under attack from protesters all afternoon on campus had started to fire teargas. Soon a riot exploded on the scene, fueled by hundreds of segregationists who had come to Ole Miss from other states to “defend” it against enrolling its first African-American student. AFP reporter Paul Guihard and photographer Sammy Schulman split up to cover the unrest. They had no idea that Guihard would never return alive. The second episode of the podcast retraces the aftermath of the riot and Paul Guihard’s murder as well as the admission to Ole Miss of James Meredith. It also looks at the investigations of Paul Guihard’s death from 1962 to 2011, when his filed was closed by the US Department of Justice. Please find the pictures to accompany this podcast on AFP Correspondent blog https://correspondent.afp.com/who-killed-paul-guihard-part-2-podcast With Kathleen Wickham, Hank Klibenhoff, Sidna Brower and Don Emmert.

DragonFlyBSD vs. FreeBSD vs. Linux benchmark on Ryzen 7, JFK Presidential Library chooses TrueNAS for digital archives, FreeBSD 12.1-beta is available, cool but obscure X11 tools, vBSDcon trip report, Project Trident 12-U7 is available, a couple new Unix artifacts, and more. Headlines DragonFlyBSD 5.6 vs. FreeBSD 12 vs. Linux - Ryzen 7 3700X (https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=bsd-linux-3700x) For those wondering how well FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD are handling AMD's new Ryzen 3000 series desktop processors, here are some benchmarks on a Ryzen 7 3700X with MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE where both of these popular BSD operating systems were working out-of-the-box. For some fun mid-week benchmarking, here are those results of FreeBSD 12.0 and DragonFlyBSD 5.6.2 up against openSUSE Tumbleweed and Ubuntu 19.04. Back in July I looked at FreeBSD 12 on the Ryzen 9 3900X but at that time at least DragonFlyBSD had troubles booting on that system. When trying out the Ryzen 7 3700X + MSI GODLIKE X570 motherboard on the latest BIOS, everything "just worked" without any compatibility issues for either of these BSDs. We've been eager to see how well DragonFlyBSD is performing on these new AMD Zen 2 CPUs with DragonFlyBSD lead developer Matthew Dillon having publicly expressed being impressed by the new AMD Ryzen 3000 series CPUs. For comparison to those BSDs, Ubuntu 19.04 and openSUSE Tumbleweed were tested on the same hardware in their out-of-the-box configurations. While Clear Linux is normally the fastest, on this system Clear's power management defaults had caused issues in being unable to detect the Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe SSD used for testing and so we left it out this round. All of the hardware was the same throughout testing as were the BIOS settings and running the Ryzen 7 3700X at stock speeds. (Any differences in the reported hardware for the system table just come down to differences in what is exposed by each OS for reporting.) All of the BSD/Linux benchmarks on this eight core / sixteen thread processor were run via the Phoronix Test Suite. In the case of FreeBSD 12.0, we benchmarked both with its default LLVM Clang 6.0 compiler as well as with GCC 9.1 so that it would match the GCC compiler being the default on the other operating systems under test. JFK Presidential Library Chooses iXsystems TrueNAS to Preserve Precious Digital Archives (https://www.ixsystems.com/blog/jfk-presidential-library-pr/) iXsystems is honored to have the TrueNAS® M-Series unified storage selected to store, serve, and protect the entire digital archive for the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation. This is in support of the collection at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum (JFK Library). Over the next several years, the Foundation hopes to grow the digital collection from hundreds of terabytes today to cover much more of the Archives at the Kennedy Library. Overall there is a total of 25 million documents, audio recordings, photos, and videos once the project is complete. Having first deployed the TrueNAS M50-HA earlier in 2019, the JFK Library has now completed the migration of its existing digital collection and is now in the process of digitizing much of the rest of its vast collection. Not only is the catalog of material vast, it is also diverse, with files being copied to the storage system from a variety of sources in numerous file types. To achieve this ambitious goal, the library required a high-end NAS system capable of sharing with a variety of systems throughout the digitization process. The digital archive will be served from the TrueNAS M50 and made available to both in-person and online visitors. With precious material and information comes robust demands. The highly-available TrueNAS M-Series has multiple layers of protection to help keep data safe, including data scrubs, checksums, unlimited snapshots, replication, and more. TrueNAS is also inherently scalable with data shares only limited by the number of drives connected to the pool. Perfect for archival storage, the deployed TrueNAS M50 will grow with the library’s content, easily expanding its storage capacity over time as needed. Supporting a variety of protocols, multi-petabyte scalability in a single share, and anytime, uninterrupted capacity expansion, the TrueNAS M-Series ticked all the right boxes.

FreeBSD 12.1 has many security/bug fixes throughout, no longer enables "-Werror" by default as a compiler flag (Update: This change is just for the GCC 4.2 compiler), has imported BearSSL into the FreeBSD base system as a lightweight TLS/SSL implementation, bzip2recover has been added, and a variety of mostly lower-level changes. More details can be found via the in-progress release notes. For those with time to test this weekend, FreeBSD 12.1 Beta 1 is available for all prominent architectures. The FreeBSD release team is planning for at least another beta or two and around three release candidates. If all goes well, FreeBSD 12.1 will be out in early November.

While MeetBSD caters to Silicon Valley BSD enthusiasts on even years, vBSDcon caters to East Coast and DC area enthusiasts on odd years. Verisign was again the key sponsor of vBSDcon 2019 but this year made a conscious effort to entrust the organization of the event to a team of community members led by Dan Langille, who you probably know as the lead BSDCan organizer. The result of this shift was a low key but professional event that fostered great conversation and brainstorming at every turn.

Hello, FINALLY!  The last two weeks have been so busy but I am BACK with an episode on the beautiful (haha) Carole King! I saw "Beautiful: The Musical" on Broadway with two of my students two weeks ago starring Vanessa Carlton. I was very thrilled to see that Vanessa Carlton can act as well! She is so talented. I thought since there are probably a lot of people that can't afford to see Broadway shows all the time or even just for people that are too far away that MAYBE an episode like this would help!  Sadly, they announced YESTERDAY that "Beautiful" will be closing on October 27th, 2019! So, if you are in the NYC area before then I really recommend you see this. It is such an amazing story of a kind, hopeful, driven, and talented woman and all the cool people in her life. I was very touched by the whole experience. GO SEE IT!  In this episode I discuss the performance as well as Carole King's background and history. It is brief so if you want to know way more I recommend you watch her discussion at the JFK Library on YouTube or read/listen to her memoir: "Natural Woman." I have have a recording slipped into the middle of us at intermission talking about what happened thus far.   Hope you have a beautiful day! :) K

A Man of Achievements: Governor Edmund G. "Pat" Brown September 15, 2011 @ the JFK Library at CSULA Library exhibit celebrates the accomplishments and enduring legacy of former California Governor Edmund G. ‘Pat’ Brown A visionary for education, civil rights, and distinguished for helping connect all of California via water and asphalt, former Governor Edmund G. Brown is being celebrated at Cal State L.A. with the exhibit, “A Man of Achievements: Governor Edmund G. ‘Pat’ Brown.” Co-curated by the University Library, where it will be on display through spring 2012, and the Edmund G. “Pat” Brown Institute of Public Affairs, the exhibit pays homage to Brown’s “living legacy” and the enduring influence he has had on California since serving as governor from 1959 to 1967. The exhibit includes photos, books written about and by Brown, artifacts, and poster boards that vividly outline many of his accomplishments. It also features the “Living the Legacy” video that was presented at the Institute’s 30th Annual Awards Dinner. As showcased in the exhibit, Brown is best known for his highly-successful efforts in four areas that were critical in California throughout the 20th Century, and still are today: infrastructure (the freeway and highway system), education, civil rights, and statewide water distribution. “This exhibit reminds us of Governor Brown’s timeless vision and how what he fought for and accomplished in office still resonates today throughout California,” said Jaime A. Regalado, who has served as executive director of the Institute since 1991. “He was a modern politician, one who talked to people and knew how to work both sides of the political aisle. He was a champion for civil rights, and was pivotal in helping modernize our state.” CSULA alumna and graphic designer Michelle Wong conceptualized the design of the exhibit, highlighting the mission of the Institute, which is dedicated to the quest for social justice and equality of opportunity, enlightened civic engagement, and enhancing the quality of life for all Californians. In the exhibit’s display, entitled “Connecting California Freeways,” Brown is described as “the greatest freeway builder in California history.” He campaigned on the idea of “One State,” which embodied his objectives of both connecting California through an efficient highway/freeway system, but also in his efforts to enable to state to share water resources. The display, “Water: The Need,” recognizes Brown for his ability to build a consensus on water policy through his “vision, power, and passion” by unifying northern and southern Californian politicians regarding the management of water. He also campaigned with conviction to have the Burns-Porter Act pass in 1959. The California Water Aqueduct was later named the “Governor Edmund G. Brown California Aqueduct” in his honor, which is the state’s longest water transport system. “He was a very innovative and compassionate governor. He had a vision for California. When he entered office he was prepared to move California down the road of economic and social reform. He was also a man who could work with, not only his own Democratic Party, but also the Republican Party,” said Martin Schiesl, an emeritus professor of history at CSULA who also provided text for the exhibit. “He had a unique style about him—not confrontational—but he would reach out to people to get support for his programs. At the same time, he was a man of great principles and ideas who welcomed cooperation. I would say that he developed the bipartisan style of governing.” In education, Governor Brown is recognized for signing the Master Plan for Higher Education (Donahoe Higher Education Act of 1960) into law. His support was regarded as critical to the law’s passage. After leaving office, he taught American politics at CSULA in 1988 and 1989. Brown has a notable civil rights and equality record, and the exhibit highlights some of his efforts in supporting anti-discrimination legislation that brought the state to the forefront of the movement. He also signed and supported the Fair Employment Practices Act, which prohibited discrimination practices in employment and public housing, and established the Fair Employment Practices Agency and its commission. He also signed into law the Rumford Fair Housing Act, which prohibited discrimination in private housing. “The Institute reflects the personality of the governor. It’s a very compassionate, caring organization. They bring many groups on campus to interact with and hold events and meetings dealing with social and economic problems,” said Schiesl. “In a sense, the Pat Brown Institute operates as a public forum, which is the kind of governorship that Pat Brown pursued. His legacy is part of the Pat Brown Institute.” ### The Pat Brown Institute at Cal State L.A. is dedicated to the quest for social justice and equality of opportunity, enlightened civic engagement, and enhancing the quality of life for all Californians. The PBI is a non-partisan public policy center dedicated to sustaining the vision and legacy of former California Governor Edmund G. “Pat” Brown through convening public policy forums, engaging multi sector stakeholders and diverse communities, and conducting timely policy research and community-driven initiatives.
