Listen in as I talk with Stacia Moffett, the acclaimed author of the "Lost and Found in Tennessee" series.  Stacia's novels, including “The Missing Girl” and “Jessa is Back,” offer a compelling exploration of the South's complex history, cultural dynamics, and enduring legacies. Born and raised on a small farm near Nashville, Stacia's experiences growing up in the Jim Crow South deeply influenced her writing and her perspectives on racial and social justice. Here are the questions I asked Stacia: Reflecting on your childhood near Nashville on a small farm, how did rural life and your father's artistic spirit influence your worldview and writing? ·      How did the Jim Crow era shape your understanding of the South's cultural and racial dynamics, both personally and in your writing? ·      How did witnessing segregation and white supremacy inspire the "Lost and Found in Tennessee" series? ·      Why is it important to address racial and social justice in literature today? ·      What message would you give to those who may not recognize ongoing racial injustices? Before we move on, I am so appreciative of our sponsors and must thank them. Please support our sponsors and tell them you heard about them on Hilary Topper on Air. Special thanks to the Russo Law Group, P.C. - Long Island's Signature Estate Planning, Elder Law and Special Needs law firm, PlayTri - Swim, Bike Run! – a retail and online bike shop and multisport specialist, Medi-Dyne -  injury prevention and pain relief products and Vimazi- pace tuned running shoes. ·      Stacia, back to you. What are your thoughts on the rise of book bans, particularly those targeting race and identity? ·      Do you believe diverse narratives should remain accessible for all readers? Why or why not? ·      For readers unfamiliar with "The Missing Girl" and "Jessa is Back," can you set the stage and explain how the two books are connected? ·      Why is the friendship between the girls central to the story, and how does it reflect themes like resilience, loyalty, and social dynamics? ·      Can you talk about your vineyard in Washington and how it connects to your love of nature? ·      And finally, Stacia, how can our listeners get in touch with you or learn more about your books? Thank you, Stacia, for being on the show! I'd also like to thank our sponsors once more.

During the Reconstruction Era, African Americans were granted basic Civil Rights after the Civil War. A number of eras and movements occurred afterward, such as the Jim Crow Era and the Civil Rights movement to further the fight for equality in this country. Where are we now with the understanding of where we are as a country today? What have we accomplished? What is in our way? We take a look back on our conversations about race, social justice, and civil rights with Rudy Nickens, Starsky Wilson, and Amy Hunter.   What were your thoughts on this episode?

Eric Groth, president of ODB Films and executive producer of “Wildcat” stops by the show to talk about the film about the late Catholic author Flannery O'Connor. ODB Films is an award-winning not-for-profit Catholic film company whose mission is to foster an encounter with Christ through artfully made, spiritually rich films.  Their newest movie, “Wildcat” was written and directed by Academy Award nominee Ethan Hawke and details O'Connor's struggle to publish her first novel.  Flannery O'Connor was a devout Catholic living in the Jim Crow Era south in the 50s and 60s.  When she was 23 years old, she began writing, hoping to leave her home in Georgia and see the world. At age 25, she was diagnosed with Lupus. Over the next 14 years O'Connor wrote “A Prayer Journal,” more than 30 short stories and two novels.  Eric explains why he believes her writing was so important.  “She was addressing a very contentious, racist south.  As a Catholic, she was really calling out a lot of Protestant brothers and sisters -- she was calling out the church that would be worshiping Jesus on Sunday and wearing the Ku Klux Klan hoods on Monday, and the culture of white supremacy that was masked as Christian ethics.”   “She wrote a lot about grace and her stories were tough, because we want heroes in stories and in her stories, [we wonder] ‘Who's the protagonist? Who's the antagonist?'” Eric continues. “But she showed how God delivers grace, however God wants to deliver grace, and we as humans often resist grace because it can be painful.” Father Dave and Eric discuss the origins of this movie and how it began 10 years ago with Ethan's daughter, Maya Hawke.  “This really started with her,” Eric says. “She was 15 and going to Catholic school in New York and she read Flannery's “A Prayer Journal” and fell in love with this woman.” Maya would later go on to ask her dad to write and direct a movie about O'Connor that she could star in.  Eric and ODB films were eventually approached for financing and a producing partnership.  Eric tells Father Dave what attracted him to the film: “I love my Catholic Faith. I Love our stories and telling great stories and she [O'Connor] was a bit of a mystery.” “This film was super special for a lot of reasons,” Eric says. “Flannery was a devout Catholic, so we could bring the beauty of the Catholic faith naturally and organically in telling the story without ever having to force it in any way.”

Berry host of PBS' Genealogy Roadshow is joined by Daniel Brook, author and Historian.Kenyatta and Daniel explore the unique civil rights histories of Charleston, South Carolina, and New Orleans, Louisiana.

In this episode, we are honored to have Martha Bireda, Ph.D., sharing her experiences of growing up during the Jim Crow era. In this episode, Martha highlights the importance of not seeing oneself as a victim, even in the face of adversity, and explores the complex concept of reparations beyond just financial compensation. She takes us on a journey back to her childhood, where segregation was not openly discussed, but the division between white and African American communities was palpable. Martha shares stories from her hometown of Punta Gorda and the vibrant African American cities of that time. Education is a recurring theme in our conversation, as Martha discusses the power it holds in both empowering and disempowering individuals. She also reflects on her own experiences of racial identity and the importance of maintaining one's authentic self in a society that often imposes expectations. Join us as we delve deeper into these powerful stories and insights, and together, explore the impact of the Jim Crow era on our understanding of identity, education, and community.

Today we'll be speaking on the life and death of the great director Oscar Micheaux.Born in 1884 in Metropolis, Illinois, Oscar Micheaux went on to become one of the most important figures in early African American cinema. He directed over 40 films throughout his career, many of which were groundbreaking in their portrayal of African American life and culture.Despite facing racism and discrimination throughout his life, Micheaux persevered and became a pioneer of independent cinema.

It is almost a daily occurrence: Jim Crow-era excuses masquerading as modern political affronts. It feels like a broken record, every single day someone of prominence on the left – a politician, a cable news host, an entertainment figure – is accusing someone on the right of being a racist. Sadly, this type of mud-slinging has become so commonplace that it is no longer illegal or even frowned upon by Democrats. Such language is unacceptable and should not be part of any genuine discourse. To restore civility to public debate, there must be an honest dialogue between individuals on different sides of politicized issues which does not include name calling or attempts to delegitimize one's views.Support the show

Porches have played a major role in African American history and life. For instance, having a porch signifies that one owns a home. Historically, this is a major win for African Americans. In addition, porches were seen as a place of refuge during the Jim Crow Era. In this episode, let's dive into the other major symbolism of “the porch."

We said “so long” to summer with a trip to the Santa Monica beach with historian Alison Rose Jefferson, whose work at USC launched a deep dive into African American recreation areas in the Golden State. Her master's thesis on Lake Elsinore led to her widely acclaimed book, Living the California Dream: African American Leisure Sites in the Jim Crow Era. Alison shares some of the struggles, successes, and legacies of Black leisure spaces in early twentieth-century SoCal. We also hear from an oral history with the late Verna (Deckard Lewis) Williams, who experienced fun in the sun—and racism from white beachgoers—firsthand.See episode page for photos and linksFor news and extras,  join us on our new Save As social feeds!@saveasnextgen — Instagram and Twitter

  Welcome to the Cocktails, Culture, and Conversations Podcast! On this episode of The C3 Podcast, Maine, Laurel, and David explore the legacy of the Jim Crow era practices imposed by the state governments throughout the country. Are we STILL suffering from the impacts of these practices that were put in place in the 1860s? How has society adjusted since the implementation of the Civil Right's Act of the 1960s? And why is the GOP so adamant about returning the power to impose governance back to the states? It may be much deeper than we've originally expected. The C3 Squad tackles all of this and more in the latest episode!     Highlights from the episode David breaks down the history and implementation of the Jim Crow era practices that were implemented following the abolition of slavery at the federal level. This led to the conservative desire to control governance at the state level and ushered in the violent opposition and formation of the Ku Klux Klan.     The trio discusses the conniving ways that state governments and corporations have adapted the language in their local constitutions and company policies to appear to legally respect the intent of the Civil Right's Act while continuing to target and exclude people of color.  Laurel describes the unique instances of African Americans living in a society that expects forced assimilation and code switching in order to be accepted in roles that were never created for black people to thrive in. Laurel poses the question, “How do we as a culture continue to advance forward despite the embedded obstacles of white supremacy continuing to stifle our upward mobility?” as Maine and David provide passionate opinion on how and why it is important to fight for more black representation in political and commercial leadership.       Podcast Network Info: Connect with Ebony Ascent via Website: www.EbonyAscent.com Instagram: @EbonyAscent Twitter: @EbonyAscent Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ebony-Ascent-102276362483660 TikTok: @OnTheCornerMediaGroup YouTube: www.youtube.com/EbonyAscent 

Audio of the unanimous decision of the Court in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954) in which the Court held that public school segregation based on race is unconstitutional, overturned Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) and, while it didn't end segregation overnight, it put an end to the Separate-but-Equal legal doctrine that defined the Jim Crow Era - marking the beginning of a new Era of Civil Rights in America.   This audio includes the primary text of the opinion, but excludes citations in order to create a better listening experience.

A reading of the 1896 opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States in Plessy v. Ferguson. In today's listener library episode, we are going all the way back to the Court's 1896 opinion in Plessy v. Ferguson - the decision that ushered-in the Jim Crow Era by establishing the he so-called separate-but-equal doctrine of legal segregation. This doctrine endured until the Court's 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka Kansas, which held that racial segregation in public schools violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment of the Constitution.   This audio includes the primary text of the opinion, but excludes citations in order to create a better listening experience.

Sissy Insurgencies: A Racial Anatomy of Unfit Manliness (Duke University Press, 2022) by Marlon B. Ross focuses on the figure of the sissy in order to rethink how Americans have imagined, articulated, and negotiated manhood and boyhood from the 1880s to the present. Rather than collapsing sissiness into homosexuality, Ross shows how it constitutes a historically fluid range of gender practices that are expressed as a physical manifestation, discursive epithet, social identity, and political phenomenon. He reconsiders several black leaders, intellectuals, musicians, and athletes within the context of sissiness, from Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver, and James Baldwin to Little Richard, Amiri Baraka, and Wilt Chamberlain. Demonstrating that sissiness can be embraced and exploited to conform to American gender norms or disrupt racialized patriarchy, he also shows how it constitutes a central element in modern understandings of race and gender. Dr. Marlon B. Ross is professor of English at the University of Virginia, where he has taught since 2001. Before that, he was professor of English and African American & African Studies at the University of Michigan. His interests include a variety of fields related to race, gender, sexuality, and culture. He is also the author of Manning the Race: Reforming Black Men in the Jim Crow Era and The Contours of Masculine Desire: Romanticism and the Rise of Women's Poetry. Isabel Machado is a cultural historian whose work often crosses national and disciplinary boundaries. Learn more about your ad choices.
