Mary Lee Copeland växte upp i en fattig familj i Virginia under de rasistiska Jim Crowe-lagarna, en barndom präglad av övergrepp, missbruk och våld. Hennes första drog, förutom whisky vid sex månaders ålder, var att berätta historier. Det var en överlevnadsstrategi- och vilket liv det blev. Mary Lee berättar om att ha "sitt eget lilla program", om alkoholism som en progressiv sjukdom, och om att använda sina värsta upplevelser till att hjälpa andra.

"From one "Black Man" to another "Black man": who are you voting for?" Renaldo McKenzie, Creator and Host took to the streets to interview over 100 black men in Center City Philadelphia asking: Who are you supporting for President and Why, and what is the mood like in your family, neighborhood and workplace, what are they saying, who are they voting for and why? This episode features the first twelve (12) conversations; and it promises to be powerful as African American men discuss why they will or will not vote for the first African American/South Asian Woman. In, fact, we had some major debates as several men joined in while we were interviewing other men about who they will vote for. Some boldly shouted "Trump!" even if he is racist, they will vote for him. Others say "women are too strict!" pointing to the strictness of Mayor Cherelle Parker. What was interesting is that men who seem to be interested in making money under the table promoted "Trump" and one man stated that the Democrats represent the party of Jim Crowe; even though we are in 2024 and that is no longer the case. Yet, many have voted already, or will vote for Harris, some for Trump. It seems to be a split, down the middle in PA. What was interesting is that African American men supporting Trump hoping to get COVID type payout are not concerned with the accusation of Trump inciting an insurrection, and do not remember George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tyre Nichols and Eddie Irrie Zarry; and the police brutality that defined Trump's term where he supported the police and showed no remorse for the blatant attack on "black" peoples by the police and the system. In stead, Trump continues to benefit from the same Police Union who defended the brutality of their cops on "black" people. Yet, "Black" people are out there defending and promoting the same man that has the support of his dogs who defend discrimination and police brutality and extra-judicial killings. Black people forget what has been done to them by those advocating for let's "make America Great Again," an America yesterday that has oppressed, impoverished and destroyed the lives of "black" folk or African Americans. They forget or have no idea about how economic policy and conditions give rise to economic situations such as inflation. Prices are high today largely because of the 4 years of COVID-19 where there was very little productivity. However, Americans were getting payouts, but "black" men were getting pittance and billionaires were getting millions. By the time Harris and Biden came into office they have to now fix the economy as Obama did, applying economic policies to restrict the economy while protecting poor people's lives during these contractionary period. "Black People forget the Affordable Act and the ways it is helping the lives of the poor, middle class or working black Americans who stand to loose a lot if Trump is able to overturn Obamacare. Nevertheless, the "black men were resolute about their support for or against Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. Twin Brothers and host of The Neoliberal Round News Round-Up, Ricardo and Renaldo will discuss these stories and interviews this weekend on The Neoliberal Round News Round-Up.

Visitation Sessions (A Podcast)

No folks, we're not endorsing any candidates. We're not even talking candidates. Instead, we try to thread the narrowest needle ever threaded by discussing why elections do and don't matter, what Catholics need to consider every time we head to the polls, how to fund common ground with those who disagree with us, and what matters most the day after Election Day … all without talking about the actual people running in 2024. Do we succeed? You'll have to listen to find out. Show Notes:First, as promised, here is Emily's more succinct and clear answer to one of the questions we discussed on the podcast: Is it a sin to vote for someone who is pro-abortion?The Church's answer is, “It depends.” If you vote for someone who is pro-abortion because they are pro-abortion, yes, it is a sin. The U.S. Catholic Bishops explain:“A Catholic cannot vote for a candidate who favors a policy promoting an intrinsically evil act, such as abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, deliberately subjecting workers or the poor to subhuman living conditions, redefining marriage in ways that violate its essential meaning, or racist behavior, if the voter's intent is to support that position. In such cases, a Catholic would be guilty of formal cooperation in grave evil,”(Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship—Part 1, 34).On the other hand, if both candidates are pro-abortion, and you vote for the candidate who seems best on other issues, that is not a sin. Your vote wouldn't have made any difference in abortion policy, so other aspects of a candidate's platform can become the deciding factor. Alternately, if the prospect of voting for either candidate violates your conscience, you can make the decision to not vote for either.If, however, one candidate is pro-abortion and one candidate is pro-life, it gets more complicated.In general, under most circumstances, the Church teaches that Catholics should not vote for a politician who supports abortion if they have a pro-life option. But if the candidate who is against abortion is for other policies that are grave moral evils—say, launching a pogrom against the Jewish people or reinstituting Jim Crowe laws—Catholic voters who prudently and prayerfully weigh the moral evils supported by both candidates can decide the pro-abortion candidate is the less horrible option and vote that way in good conscience. They also can take into consideration whether they believe the anti-abortion candidate is sincere in his commitment to oppose abortion and capable of doing anything to effect change in that area. Again, from the U.S. Catholic Bishops:There may be times when a Catholic who rejects a candidate's unacceptable position even on policies promoting an intrinsically evil act may reasonably decide to vote for that candidate for other morally grave reasons. Voting in this way would be permissible only for truly grave moral reasons, not to advance narrow interests or partisan preferences or to ignore a fundamental moral evil (Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship—Part 1, 35).Note: Your reasons for choosing a pro-abortion candidate over an anti-abortion candidate must be rooted in the anti-abortion candidate's support for other truly grave moral evils that together equal or outweigh the evil of abortion. Not liking a candidate's personality, not liking the candidate's proposed changes to Medicare or student loan financing, not wanting to be associated with a certain candidate or party—none of that is sufficient. Grave moral evil on the level of the slaughter of the innocent in the womb is the measuring stick.Ultimately, though, unless you're supporting a pro-abortion candidate for their views on abortion, the Church trusts you to form your conscience in accord with Church teaching and make the best decision you can, given the knowledge you have. If you think you decided poorly, for the wrong reasons, with insufficient thought, or with disregard for Church teaching, Confession is the quickest way to rectify your situation.Other Important QuotesQuotes: [T]he Church's Magisterium does not wish to exercise political power or eliminate the freedom of opinion of Catholics regarding contingent questions. Instead, it intends—as is its proper function—to instruct and illuminate the consciences of the faithful, particularly those involved in political life, so that their actions may always serve the integral promotion of the human person and the common good (Congregation for Doctrine of the Faith, “The Participation of Catholics in Political Life,” 6).“When all candidates hold a position that promotes an intrinsically evil act, the conscientious voter faces a dilemma. The voter may decide to take the extraordinary step of not voting for any candidate or, after careful deliberation, may decide to vote for the candidate deemed less likely to advance such a morally flawed position and more likely to pursue other authentic human goods,”(United States Catholic Bishops Conference, “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship,” 36)“Moral conscience, present at the heart of the person, enjoins him at the appropriate moment to do good and to avoid evil. It also judges particular choices, approving those that are good and denouncing those that are evil. It bears witness to the authority of truth in reference to the supreme Good to which the human person is drawn, and it welcomes the commandments. When he listens to his conscience, the prudent man can hear God speaking,” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1777).“Conscience is a judgment of reason whereby the human person recognizes the moral quality of a concrete act that he is going to perform, is in the process of performing, or has already completed. In all he says and does, man is obliged to follow faithfully what he knows to be just and right. It is by the judgment of his conscience that man perceives and recognizes the prescriptions of the divine law,” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1778). “The threat of abortion remains our preeminent priority because it directly attacks our most vulnerable and voiceless brothers and sisters and destroys more than a million lives per year in our country," (United States Catholic Bishops, “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship,” Introduction, Revised November 2023).

Samuel L. Jackson grew up around discrimination. A native of Tennessee during the Jim Crowe era, he had experienced racism his entire life. He even attended segregated schools. So when the Civil Rights Movement hit in the 1960s, he knew he had to do his part. While attending Morehouse College in Atlanta, he decided to indulge in his favorite childhood past time... going to the movies. During a screening of John Goldfarb, Please Come Home, a distraught man ran in and announced that Martin Luther King had been murdered. The theatre clearing out, he returned to the Morehouse campus to find many of his friends and classmates were burning down the neighborhood. Just four days after MLK's assassination in Memphis, he flew back to his home state to participate in the garbage workers strike that King had been leading up until his death. He then flew back to Atlanta to participate as an usher in his funeral. At 70 years old Sam Jackson is one of the most prolific actors in Hollywood. While going through his filmography for research, we didn't realize just how many iconic flicks he's done. The guy's had memorable bit roles such as Senior Love Daddy in Do The Right Thing, Stacks Edwards in Goodfellas, and the chain-smoking Mr. Arnold in Jurassic Park... You also can't forget career-defining roles as Nick Fury in the MCU or Jules Whinfield in Pulp Fiction, for which he received an Oscar nomination... There's no doubt that Sam has contributed to some of the defining movies of the last thirty years. But as it goes with most actors, his early life was actually quite troubled. A youth that involved a serious speech impediment as well as drug addiction.

Not a lot of great painters were also professional football players. Ernie Barnes was an American artist who grew up in the South during the Jim Crowe era. Despite the numerous challenges, he worked hard, her persisted and he succeeded. As a teenager, a coach mentored Barnes helping him to become captain of the football team and a state champion at shot put. He attended a historically black university on an athletic scholarship but he majored in art. After college, Barnes went on to play pro football, but the owner of the New York Jets saw that Ernie Barnes was more valuable applying his talents to the canvas rather than the field. In the 1960s, Barnes quickly started gaining critical acclaim. His first show in New York sold out. His paintings not only hung in galleries, but also in pop culture on album covers and perhaps most famously on the television series Good Times.For this episode, my good friend and fellow elementary art teacher, Chuck Hoff discussed the history, and the incredible artistry of Ernie Barnes.

Spellman.  Last week we covered the burning of a Capitol building…which happened to air on the day our Capitol was attacked…am I prophet?  Maybe.  Today we're headed down to the wetlands of east Florida, just outside of Jacksonville, and investigating the spirits that haunt Kingsley Plantation:  the princess turned slave turned slave-owner, Anna Kingsley; the vengeful and malevolent entity known as “Old Red Eyes”; and the ghostly white peacocks that scream in the night are just some of the known apparitions.  However, are these truly the ghosts that haunt the plantation?  Or is the true haunting the racial tropes that persist within these ghostly stories paired with the bloody imprint of slavery on our history?  Join me today to find out.   I was getting a little tired of telling the same old story of rich white folk, as ghost stories often tend to be…and the story of Kingsley Plantation is still often told as one.  Instead of focusing too much on the owner of the plantation, Zephaniah Kingsley, a rich, white polygamous slave-owner; I wanted to focus in on the story of one of his wives, Anna Kingsley, or Anta Madjiguene Ndiaye.  Her story is that of tragedy and triumph, overcoming being sold into slavery and even once freed, overcoming societal norms and the oppression of Jim Crowe.  For the history portion of the podcast, let us delve into the life of Anna Kingsley so that we can better understand her afterlife and the phantoms that lurk on the grounds of Kingsley Plantation.         On June 18, 1793 princess Anta Madjiguene Ndiaye of the Wolof people was born in modern-day Senegal.  At this time, this portion of West Africa was a home to conflict between the Wolof and the Fula and villages in the area were often lain waste to by slave raids.  The crisis only intensified and in 1806, Anta was captured by Tyeddo raiders from the Futa Toro.   She was taken by force to Goree Island, a slave debarkation point.  She was kept prisoner for days with little to no food.  However, on the first occasion she was presented to European buyers, she was sold.  Unfortunately, this catapulted Anta from one horrific situation to another.   The journey across the Atlantic was long and arduous.  The enslaved were shackled to wooden boards, confined to tight quarters, and were malnourished and over-heated.  Those who had died from heat stroke or another malady were simply thrown overboard like rotted meat.  Some people managed to escape and threw themselves overboard, as death by drowning was preferable to the horrid conditions on the ship and what awaited them once they arrived at their destination.   The ship landed in Havana, Cuba and the passengers were immediately forced into isolation.  This was done to help prevent the spread of any diseases that may have been brought with them and to make them presentable to potential buyers.   In the autumn of 1806, it was time for Anta to be put up for sale.  As it would have it, luck was on her side.  43 year-old Zephaniah Kingsley, an English merchant, had been in Cuba to purchase rum, molasses, and of course, as was the fashion of the day, slaves.  It was at this auction that he laid eyes on 13 year-old Anta and had to have her.  He desperately outbid every other slave trader and merchant there, winning ownership of Anta, soon changing her name to Anna.   Now, there is nothing about slavery that is good, but the fates were looking out for young Anta; rescuing her from a destiny that could have been much more dire.  While still a slave trader, and still a slave owner, Zephaniah held views on slavery that were atypical for the time and would benefit Anta until her death.   Although not ideal, and though it raises many modern day concerns: Anta was wed to Zephaniah in an African ceremony in Havana.  This ceremony was certainly not a catholic ceremony and therefore was not legally recognized by Spanish Florida or the United States during their lifetimes.    After this unconventional marriage, the couple made the voyage to Zephaniah's plantation, Laurel Grove, located in present-day Orange park.  However, Zephaniah and Anta did not arrive alone, as by the time they landed, Anta was with child.  Despite still being a slave, instead of relegating Anta to the paltry slave quarters – Zephaniah invited her to stay with him in his home.  This was a welcome change from the gruesome living conditions Anta had been subject to for the last several months.    Laurel Grove was home to over 100 slaves working to produce cotton, oranges, peas, and potatoes.  As mentioned earlier, despite being a plantation owner, Zephaniah's views on slavery were unique.  Make no mistake, he was still a slave master, but he was more humane than most.    Zephaniah employed a system where the slaves were appointed certain tasks for the day.  They were allowed to work as quickly or as slowly as they wished and when their day's work was completed they were allowed to use their time as they wished.  Zephaniah also allotted slaves their own fields to grow their own crops.  Some slaves spent their free time creating crafts, which Zephaniah permitted them to sell along with their own produce if they so wished.  Instead of segregating his slaves, Zephaniah preferred that they live together as families, rather than being split up.  However, despite this treatment his motivations weren't altruistic: he believed that if you treated slaves better that they would be more productive and less likely to rebel.   Apparently his system worked, as the plantation made up to $10,000 annually, or nearly half a million dollars today.  This was impressive, especially for a plantation in a secluded area of Florida.   Visitors to the plantation assumed that Anna was a free woman: after all, she ran the plantation along with a freed slave who acted as the manager while Zephaniah was off on business.  Though Zephaniah had other wives, Anna was always recognized as his primary and most beloved.  By 1811, when Anna was 18, she had bore three children: George in June of 1807, Martha in July of 1809, and Mary in February of 1811.  It was also this year that Zephaniah granted Anna full and legal emancipation, reinforcing her important position and place of power at the plantation.   In 1813, Anna petitioned the Spanish government, which still ruled Florida, for land.  She was granted 5 acres in Mandarin, just across the river from Laurel Grove.  Anna purchased equipment and goods to start her farm, including 12 slaves of her own.  Now, it may seem unusual for a freed slave to then go and purchase her own.  However, the concept of slavery was a part of her culture in Africa – including the model that female slaves often married their masters to gain freedom.  However, Anna was dead set on becoming an independent businesswoman, selling goods, produce, and poultry.   However, this particular business venture would not last long.  During that same year, Zephaniah was kidnapped by the Patriot Rebellion; American insurgents who were attempting to annex Florida by force.  The rebels attacked and raided towns and plantations and all blacks they captured into slavery—regardless of their legal status.  This put Anna at great risk.   The patriots soon arrived to pillage Laurel Grove, taking 31 of its slaves in the process, and using the plantation as their headquarters as they looted nearby areas.  To avoid capture and being re-sold into slavery, Anna negotiated with the Spanish for her escape, bringing her children and 12 slaves with her.  As she left, she burned Laurel Grove and her newly acquired homestead to the ground so that the insurgents could no longer use them as a base.  For this, the Spanish government awarded her 350 acres of land.  70 times what she had purchased earlier that year.   In 1814, now reunited, Zephaniah and Anna moved to a plantation on Fort George Island—what is now known as Kingsley Plantation near Jacksonville, Florida.  The plantation was looted and vandalized during the rebellion and every building aside from the main house was destroyed.  Here is where Zephaniah took his other three wives, all slaves, who gave him a total of 9 children.  These women were all freed, along with his children.   To say that the family dynamic was complex would be an understatement, but Anna was the one named in his will as his wife.  These other women were considered “co-wives” of Anna, but not quite matching up to her in terms of importance or power.  His wives and his children lived in luxury and were educated with the best schooling he could afford.  When the plantation had company, Anna would sit at the head of the table and the walls of the home were decorated with paintings of African women.   In the 1820's the Kingsley's built a separate kitchen connected to the main house by a walkway.  Above the kitchen was a room where Anna resided with her children and this building was dubbed the “Ma'am Anna House”    A total of 32 slave residences were built not far from the main house.  They were arranged in a peculiar semicircle pattern.  Some historians believe that Zepheniah did this to keep a closer watch on his slaves, but others believe it was Anna's doing as many African villages were arranged in similar patterns.  In 1824, Anna bore her fourth and final son, John.   Spain eventually ceded Florida to the United States.  This transfer of power led to significant changes in how slaves and free blacks were treated.  Interracial marriage were considered to be invalid and children of mixed descent were not allowed to inherit property.  While all those born free slaves prior to 1821 were not subject to these new laws, their youngest son was born in 1824 and would not receive these same protections.  Worried that his family's rights may be taken away, in 1835 Zephaniah, moved to Haiti, in a location that is now part of the Dominican Republic.  He transferred all of his holdings to his three eldest children who stayed behind, while Anna and their youngest son, John, followed Zephaniah to Haiti in 1838.    In total Anna and Zephaniah brought 60 slaves, family members, and freed employees with them.  Since slavery was illegal in Haiti, those who were not yet freed acted as indentured servants who would earn their freedom in 9 years' time.  Anna and Zephaniah lived together on the island rather peacefully until in 1843, on a trip to New York, Zephaniah died at age 78.   Because of the new laws in Florida, none of his children were able to inherit his property and his sister, Martha, and her children challenged his will, claiming it was “defective and invalid”  Under Florida's new laws it was illegal for black people to own property and Martha claimed that when they moved to Haiti to remain free, they also abandoned their right to the property.   Despite the racial tensions boiling in Duval County at the time, neing the powerhouse of a woman that she was, Anna returned to Florida in 1846 to participate in the legal battle for the property that was rightfully hers.  Miraculously, the court upheld the treatise between the United States and Spain decreeing that all free blacks born before 1821 had a right to the same privileges they had under Spanish rule.  This was an extraordinary achievement for a black woman before the Civil War.   Naturally, when the Civil War did break out, Anna and her children were Union sympathizers.  Jacksonville was captured by the union in 1862 and Anna and her children were briefly evacuated to New York.  She returned to Florida, taking up residence in Arlington, to be nearer to her daughters who were married to white planters in Florida.  Anna passed away in 1870 at the age of 77 after living a full and eventful life.   Anna's ghost can still be seen on Kingsley plantation and is known as the “Woman in White”.  She is usually spotted on the back porch of the main house, and can often be photographed there.  However, she is not alone, her husband, Zephaniah can also be seen on the plantation from time to time.   Anna's descendants remained part of the African-American upper class for more than a century.  One of her descendants even includes Florida's first black millionaire, Abraham Lincoln Lewis.  Though Anna is long dead, her spirit, and her legacy, will live on for generations to come.   A few parts of Anna's story are disputed, but it was widely factual.  Anna did not appear to burn down her property to save it from the insurgents as she was already on a boat away from the area at the time.  Additionally, it is not confirmed if she truly was a princess.  Her lineage is widely debated and whether or not she descended from royalty. She shares part of her name, Ndiaye, with a mythological ruling figure from Jolof culture.  Additionally, her mother also held royal blood from Wolof culture and Anna may have been the daughter of ruling royalty at the time of her birth, but there is no proof on the matter.   I was able to find a number of primary sources about Anna, which was surprising given that she was a black woman in the 1800's.  However, the material I did find doesn't help us tell her story as it mainly pertains to her will.    I was devasted that I couldn't find a photograph of Anna.  Websites have pictures that claim to be her, but when you reverse search them it turns out they are other famous black women in history.  The woman on the episode image, for you Spotify listeners, and the one on the Instagram are not of Anna, but another freed slave from the plantation.   We do have a descriptions of Anna.  One from Zephaniah says that she was "a fine, tall figure, black as jet, but very handsome. She was very capable, and could carry on all the affairs of the plantation in my absence as well as I could myself. She was affectionate and faithful, and I could trust her.” And in his will he says  “She has always been respected as my wife and as such I acknowledge her, nor do I think that her truth, honor, integrity, moral conduct or good sense will lose in comparison with anyone."   Her niece described her a little differently, though she still greatly admired her beauty:   I remember her very distinctly. She was not black, and had the most beautiful features you ever saw. She was a most imposing and very handsome woman. Her smooth, light brown skin, her dark-eyes and wavy [sic] made her outstanding, and I would not keep my eyes away for admiration. She was quiet and moved with regal dignity—I have never seen anything like her, before or since. Her daughter was there also, and she was very light in color, but not as good-looking as her mother. I was six or seven years old at the time. I was Kingsley's niece. The next morning my aunt, Mrs. Gibbs, sent two servants for us with a horse and buggy, and we were carried over to Newcastle. My mother was furious that we had spent the night at Ma'm Anna's, but it could not be helped.   In fact no letters, photographs, or personal effects of Anna's are known to exist.  Even her grave is unmarked.  It is sad, but as we've discussed in other episodes, not out of the ordinary for a woman, specifically and especially a woman of color.   Now, let's get into the ghosts.  There are a lot of fun sightings on the Kingsley plantation, which was converted to a state park in 1955 and later incorporated into a national park.  This designation has allowed the property to welcome many visitors who have seen strange things.   As I mentioned Anna's ghost is often seen on the property and captured in photographs.  Maybe these are the only photographs of Anna Kingsley to exist.  However, it should be noted that she's spotted in the main house…where she did not live.  As we know she had her special residence known as Ma'am Anna's House.  She didn't die on the property, and she hadn't lived there for nearly 30 years when she did.  But it is still possible that she loved the property on Fort George Island.  Although a account from one of her white friends, Susan L'Engle, says that she seemed quite lonely but her work on the plantation and running the house kept her busy.   I wasn't able to find any firsthand encounters of her ghost.  In fact, I discovered this story through reddit, where I was asking if anyone knew of any ghost stories of people of color because I was sick of talking about old white people.  For black ghosts it's hard to search since shadow figures are described as black and will often show up, and when searching African-American it's usually metaphoric ghosts that appear such as “The Ghosts of Slavery” or the “Ghosts of the Jim Crow Era”  Now, the thing I found sad, annoying, and frustrating is that my post was constantly downvoted.  I thought it was just me…but even the comments, one saying “Black ghosts matter!” was also heavily downvoted.  It's just sad to see that happening.   And even though I did uncover this story about Anna, it is typically only discussed through the lens of her white, slave-owning husband.  But I digress.   There is another presence on the island that isn't the powerful, inspiring woman that was Anna Kingsley.  Instead, it is a dark, malevolent entity that seeks to harm: Old Red Eyes.   Legend has it that Old Red Eyes was once a slave on the plantation.  This man raped and murdered girls on the island – both the daughters of white planters and fellow slaves.  Once the other slaves on the island discovered who was behind this brutal attacks, they banded together and lynched Old Red Eyes from an oak tree.  Now, Old Red Eyes lurks on the property, spying on visitors from the trees, looking for his next victim.  Some say if you say his name three times…he just may appear.   Old Red Eyes manifests as a pair of red, glowing eyes in the woods and was first spotted in 1978.  After the recounting of a tale by a local in 1993, he has been spotted much more regularly.   For me, the interesting thing about this story is that it is full of stereotypes and idiosyncrasies.  Namely the trope of a black man being portrayed as a murderer and a rapist is one that still pervades today, and these types of stories, whether true or not, were used to spread fear and rationalize lynching in the south.  However, during the plantation era, lynching was not common and was mainly seen in the Jim Crowe era.   Interestingly, the take on the Bloody Mary myth—chanting his name three times, seems to coincide with the 1992 film Candyman: a film where the son of former slaves and a lynching victim is conjured in a similar fashion.  This would also explain the increased sightings beginning in 1993.  Old Red Eyes is also a colloquial name for the devil in some parts of the south.   Emily Palmer, one of the Park Rangers at Kingsley plantation, has another explanation for Old Red Eyes.  She says, “Interestingly enough, along Palmetto Avenue we do have something hanging from the trees that would reflect bright red eyes if a brake light was shining in them.  They're called possums. I believe that people have probably seen something of that sort… but I think it may have been a more natural explanation than what people are looking for.”   In addition to natural inhabitants like the possum, ghostly animals are also seen on the plantation.  At night you can hear the screams of a young girl, and if you follow the sound, you may be presented with a jarring sight: a ghostly white peacock.  Is it an omen?  In early Christian lore the peacock represents Christi's resurrection and the soul's ability to live on after death.   Again, Palmer is a downer, quoted as saying “If you're unfamiliar with the fact that there are albino peacocks, and if you are not familiar with the sound a peacock makes when it's doing its mating call, you might take that for a little girl screaming.  It's a pretty unique noise.”   Okay, fine, Emily!  Stop being such a downer.  What about the ghost alligator that sits at the bottom of a stairwell?  Do you have an explanation for that?  No.  I didn't think so.   A quick rundown of some of the ghostly encounters includes the smell of gingerbread in Anna's kitchen, furniture that moves on its own, a crying child in the well, the apparition of an African man in a turban, and old Zephaniah himself.  There is a tradition that you must never say “Goodnight, Zephaniah” while locking up for the night because it can cause “bad things” to happen.  What this mean, I don't know.  But I wouldn't want to chance it.  Though it seems rude on Zephaniah's part because you're just trying to be nice and courteous.  But…he was a polygamist slave-owner who had to buy his wives so maybe he's not very rational.   Kingsley plantation remains one of the most haunted places in Florida.  And whether or not its ghosts are real or simply spooky wildlife…the land is an important part of a freed black woman's story and her family's legacy.  I'm honored to have been able to tell it and I hope you enjoyed listening.   You can find historic documents and photographs are on the podcast Instagram @crimesandwitchdemeanors and sources are in the show notes.  So, please, beware of possums hanging in the trees, watch out for the ghostly crocodile at the bottom of your stairs, and as always, stay curious and stay spooky.  Bye~

"If there hadn't been a Walter "Buck" Leonard (1907-1997)... what wouldn't - have happened?" ...the integration of Black players into professional sports teams, an advancement of awareness of the need for social change...   Dr. Mark Anthony Neal, Chair of Duke University's African & African American Studies Department and Jonathan Fox Hunter, grandson, historian and spokesperson for the Buck Leonard Museum & Foundation for Sports & Cultural Enrichment joined me on this episode to discuss the life and legacy of the pivotal yet mostly unknown figure in our American history. Growing up in the Depression, young Buck Leonard began supporting his family at age 11 (when his father died) working for many years on the railroad and playing baseball in the community "sand lots."  He was discovered by a scout for the Negro Leagues - which formed in 1920. His hard work ethic and strong family values of dedication and integrity propelled him to the top of the leagues as a player, coach, treasurer, secretary and spokesperson himself for his peers.  In this episode, Dr. Neal and Mr. Hunter detail the importance of the success of The Negro Leagues during these decades upon major league sporting teams from football, baseball, and basketball. The League revealed the buying power of Black America and the large buying power of the "underworld" of businesses who sold goods and tickets to ball games to Black Americans.  The successes of the Negro Leagues lead directly to the integration of Black players, then in later decades, players of all ethnicities. The social standards of Jim Crowe during this time were further discussed and the gracious and respectful responses from Mr. Buck Leonard in a time of racial inequality and the struggle for equal rights filled his life. His legacy of role-model behavior to young players and leadership to his own peers lives today. The Negro Leagues celebrate their centennial this year 1920-2020.  The life of Walter "Buck" Leonard (1907-1997) is honored in Rocky Mount, North Carolina where he lived. Today his home is a museum and on the national historic registry. The estate plans an expansion to include a library for disadvantaged youth in the future.

Welcome back to The Emancipation Podcast Station - the place to hear about history researched and retold through the eyes of Middle school and HS students. Last time on the show…   Today we discuss the causes of the Civil War. Let’s dive in.   Introduction to the Gilded Age Why was it called the Gilded Age? And Who coined the term.   Hunter- The gilded age in American was the late 19th century, from 1870 to about 1900. The name of this point in time was used in the early 20th century, and was derived from writer Mark Twain’s 1873 novel the Gilded Age: A Tale Of Today, which started an era of social problems covered by a thin gold gilding. Skylar - The Gilded Age began in 1865 and Ended in 1898. The gilded age was a time where everyone was focused on the development of the United states, mainly industrial type things. The Gilded age didn’t mean the golden age but more of a cover, like everything is perfect but really it’s not. Ricky-Ricky-The Gilded Age was an age in the 1870s to the early 1900s it was a time of economic growth for American citizens and non-immigrants. In wages Rose from $380 from 1880 to $564 in 1890, a gain of 48%. The widespread industrialization led to a real wage growth of 60% in between 1860 and 1890. - Blake (gabe)- The Gilded age was a time period in which hard times fell on the american and immigrant people.   Gabe - The Gilded age was a time where americans economy went good and bad in a way because industry grew but money not so much.     - Ethan - The Gilded Age was the time that America began to revolutionize their industrial world. Mark Twain coined the term “Gilded Age” which meant the time seemed pretty good but was truly miserable. Someone who profited from the Gilded Age was John D. Rockefeller, who was the founder of oil. Oil was just 1 of the “titans of industry” which were steel, banking, and oil. The miserable part would probably be that they got their money mostly through corruption. Ben- And with every urban explosion there were poor people, in apartments without heating or even light, it was 5 cents a night, which doesn’t sound like much, but they were poor and money was different then it is now. They had to fit as many people as possible to get the most out of the room too.   The Gilded Age and the Second Industrial Revolution Name one invention that came out of the Second Industrial Revolution. Hunter- The Second Industrial Revolution, also known as the Technological Revolution, was a time of quick industrialization in the last third of the 19th century, and the beginning of the 20th. Some of the inventions are of the following the swiss army knife, barbed wire, dynamite, and the motorcycle. Oh and some of my personal favorites are the Maxim Machine Gun, and the colt .45 M-1911. Skylar - The Second Industrial Revolution went on in the same time as the Gilded Age. This was time for mass production of things, as well as communicating about business tractions, materials, all that weren’t existing before. The Bessemer Process was a big deal in this time, it made steel easy and quicker to produce, so trains became more of a option for transporting things before. During this time the US had more railroads than all of Europe combined. Ricky- As everyone said the Second Industrial Revolution was basically a time when a bunch of new inventions were made that revolutionized the industrial system like as Skylar said it made steel a lot easier to produce creating easier ways to create a railroad system. A lot of inventions like petroleum gas, electrification was a big thing, Machine Tools like drills and saws, chemical tools like ammonia, and chlorine, rubber, bicycles, the invention of automobiles, some fertilizers, telephones, and a lot of scientific knowledge, as well as the making of new weapons as Hunter said like the Colt 45 M119 pistol, the Thompson submachine gun which shoots 45. ACP rounds which is famously said to be used by high-ranking gangsters, the M1 Garand which is a 30 caliber round.                                                                        4. Gabe - as Hunter and Ricky said we Developed a lot of technology in the gilded ages second industrial revolution. But railroads helped increase income and production because we used them for transportation shipping goods all across america.   - Blake(ben) - As everyone has said previously this was a big time for the early United States which revolutionized building and processing for wealthy businessman looking to get a start in the material industry. - Ethan - The Second Industrial Revolution took place in 1870-1914. Some say it went up to the start of World War 1. This Revolution was also known as the Technological Revolution. During this revolution things like the telephone and electricity were made. This revolution wasn’t just in America, but in Britain and Germany. Lesser known countries were France, Italy, and Japan. - Ben - After the first industrial revolution they had all these new things so they refined it and made it better.   Social Darwinism in the Gilded Age What is Social Darwinism and do you think there is any truth in it? Skylar - Social Darwinism is just basically seeing what people are on the outside. Social Darwinism says that the poor have less worth that a higher class rich person. It’s judging people for what’s on the outside and your social class rather than judging someone for what’s on the inside like being kind. Acting like a snob means you have more worth to someone who believes in Social Darwinism, when in reality they are worth less for judging people just by how much money they have, or how they look. Ricky-- Social Darwinism is the idea and belief that it is survival of the fittest. It stole the term from Darwinism evolution and plastered itself all over politics as social Darwinism. Gabe - Social Darwinism started in the gilded age because people started applying his idea that the strong rule the weak to people in there life and so on. - Blake(hunter) - Do I seriously have to do this one? Oh boy. Social Darwinism was a terrible thing it basically said that white people are better than others and that humans evolved from apes. - Ethan - Social Darwinism, in more proper terms, was seeing natural selection in the people around us. Anyone that considered themselves a Social Darwinist did not go by any such term. The term Darwinism wasn’t really used much except by people that were opposed to it. Ben- It got the term Darwinism because Charles Darwin studied evolution, so since people believed in survival of the fittest, like the theory of evolution, the called it darwinism. America moves to the city Why did most of America start moving to cities and leaving farms? Skylar - In 1790 nearly everyone lived in the country or on a farm. Due to The Second Industrial Revolution, growing population, and new machinery the United States needed more room to expand into the countryside to make big cities for railroads and new jobs. By 1920 only 28% of people lived in rural areas and the majority lived in the larger cities. Ricky- -a majority of people lived in rural areas than in urban areas, but then suddenly 11 million people migrated from rural areas to urban areas along with 25 million immigrants pouring in to the country.   Gabe - Another thing that happened which was people started urbanizing living in urban places it started in the 1800s and it made its ascent from there until 1920s where more people lived in urban areas then actual rural areas. And here is a quote from thomas jefferson who said “once we start piling upon one another in large cities  as in europe   We will become as corrupt as europe”.   - Blake(hunters) - America began to enter industrialization and because of this more people moved to bigger cities to find work and be prosperous. - Ethan - In 1920 more Americans lived in cities than on farms. This was kind of the transition between farm life and the urban living of today. In 1890 28% of the population lived in urban environment. - Ben - It started all the mass population you see in the popular urban cities around the world today. People were obsessed with industrial industry and thought it would be more profitable to move to cities. The Knights of Labor   What were the Knights of Labor and what do you think about them? Good or bad? 1.Hunter- The K of L, officially Noble the Holy order of the Knights of Labor, Was the largest and one of the most important American labor organizations 1880. It’s most important leaders were Terence V. Powderly and step-brother Joseph bath. The Knights promoted the working man, rejected socialism and anarchism, demanded the eight-hour day, and promoted the producersethic of republicanism. The Knights of Labor was a union founded in 1869. They promoted 8 hour work days and wanted to end child labor. It was mostly white men in this union, but immigrants, african americans, as well as women were welcome to be members. By 1886 the Knights of Labor had over 700,000 members and supporters. Ricky-- The Knights of Labor had officially crashed and disbanded near 1886 following the Haymarket Square riot. The American Federation of Labor (AFL) was growing at the time which then eventually took over. Gabe - So the knights of labor were a group who promoted like skylar said 8 hour work days and were in a union which aloud individual industrial workers to go on strike if they were not paid well or treated correctly. Another thing is that the person who started protesting 8 hour work day was also the one of the founders of socialism Ben- The skilled and simple workers of the country together to promote a safe and healthy work schedule and environment, there were people like this in the past but not as influential as the knights. - Ethan - They basically told the working class they had to work 8 hours a day and they rejected any possible anarchy or socialism. They were founded by Uriah Stephens and by 1884 had 100000 members. - Blake - Unions were a group of workers organizing to gain better wages, less hours and more employee benefits. The Populists What was the Populists agenda? Did they succeed? Skylar - The people who were called populists were an agrarian-based movement trying to better the conditions for the farmers and agrarian workers of the United States. In 1876 the farmers alliance was made to help end the crop-lien system that put many farmers into poverty, this movement began in Texas. The crop-lien system operated in the south were cotton was grown. Any sharecroppers, tenant farmers, black, and white people who didn’t own the land that they worked, would have to take out loans to be able to purchase supplies had to pay back their loans with cotton. Ricky- in 1892 a homestead strike broke out in the carnegie steel company steel works. Which caused a gun fight between unionized workers and a group of hired men to break the strike. The workers lost. Gabe - the populists were a Group of people who wanted to help farmers and help  those people that were not and industrial worker someone who farmer worked off his land but didn't make much because of the industrial work Ben- After the end of slavery the farmers had a hard time making as making as much money as before, they now had to actually hire workers and even if they hired that costed a lot of money and they still wouldn’t have as many people as before. - Ethan - A.K.A the People’s Party or Populist Party. Their goal was to improve life for farmer-like workers and they were disbanded very quickly. - Blake - (Hunter’s) Money was a troubling problem for the farming south so farmers supported a new party called the Populists Party who supported the farming economy. 7.Hunter- the Populists were an agrarian-based  political movement. The South after the Civil War What happened to the farming economy, why? Skylar - The period of Reconstruction lasted from 1865 to 1877. During this time 3 newly adopted amendments were passed, the Thirteenth Amendment to end slavery, the Fourteenth Amendment that promised the African Americans the right to have citizenship in The United States Of America, and the Fifteenth Amendment that guaranteed black men the right to vote. Ricky- Everything was topsy turny for the south, because their “country” was destroyed and their social system was wrecked and they had extreme hate from the north.   Gabe - The South crashed economically because they were built on selling tobacco and cotton  and since the prices dropped the south was economically destroyed.   Ben- Just because slavery ended doesn’t mean racism did, some is still here today, and people are doing things about it. But the end of slavery was pretty cool. Allowing people of color to now vote and be American citizens. Some of the industry based on slavery like farming and other labor tasks sort of crashed since they now had to hire workers and pay them. - Ethan - As we have said the discrimination did not end but the South did not truly let things go. The economy changed drastically since slaves were gone. - Blake - Well we still had some problems even after the war as even though we passed laws to stop discrimination against African Americans the south was able to pass laws that would stop them from doing things such as voting we’ll talk about these laws later. Life after slavery for African Americans What happened to racism, did it get better or worse? Why do you think that Skylar - When the civil war was over life got a lot better for the people living in the United States. African Americans became free in 1865 and was put into the Amendments as the 13th amendment. Which made a huge difference in everyone’s lives, especially the cotton plantation owners in the south because they would no longer have free labor. Ricky- life for African Americans, as Skylar said, “got a lot better”. After the emancipation proclamation/13th amendment African Americans worked on railroads, owned shops, and even got to vote (black men).   African americans became as the same as any white person there was no “an african american person couldn't do this because blank” anymore. There was a african american named george washington carver who made 300 different products from peanuts. Another named Booker T Washington started a University.   Ben - There were still some restrictions on what they could do though, they still couldn’t testify against white people, serve in a jury, or serve in some state militias. - Ethan - All their bad treatment didn’t completely disappear because the idea of slavery was still fresh in people’s minds so while they weren’t whipped as slaves anymore, they still were discriminated. - Blake - Just like I said before this wasn’t a good time for African Americans even though we had passed anti-discrimination laws southern states were still able to get around these laws. The Compromise of 1877 Why did the compromise have to happen? What was the final factor that gave Hayes his victory. What was the main deal in the Compromise? Skylar - The Compromise of 1877 was put into place to resolve a Presidential election that took place a year before. There was a dispute between the democrat Samuel Tilden and republican Rutherford Hayes. This dispute was obviously over who was going to become the next President of the US. Samuel J. Tilden won with 247,448 votes, but votes in 3 states were being disputed. These states were in the South and were, Florida, Louisiana, as well as South Carolina. This lasted 4 months then this compromise was put into place. Ricky-ricky-The compromise was put in place because of a dispute because Samuel J. Tilden won the popular vote, but Rutherford B Hayes won the electoral vote. So the Democrats agreed that he would be president in exchange for the withdrawal of federal troops from the South also granting of home rule in the south.   Basically the exchange in this compromise was that Rutherford B Hayes would become President and the south would get home rule and federal troops with withdraw from the south   - Ethan - The compromise was seemingly a president in exchange troop withdrawal.   Ben- With most debates the best option is a compromise, it will make both sides an equal amount of happy or sad. And with the destruction of the souths economy everyone was reconstructing their businesses.   - Blake - The compromise of 1877 was basically meant as a tiebreaker for the previous presidential election which had also affected African Americans Jim Crow The origins of Jim Crow - introduction Origins of Jim Crow - the Black Codes and Reconstruction Origins of Jim Crow - the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments Origins of Jim Crow - Compromise of 1877 and Plessy v. Ferguson What are the Jim Crow Laws and what did they encompass, why did people think there was a need to put those laws into place? Skylar - Jim Crow laws were racist laws. Saying for example, this bathroom is for blacks and this is a special one for whites. Jim Crow laws were really popular in the South from the 1870 through the 1960. Nearly 100 years. Most schools, restaurants, bathrooms, buses, stores, ect. Were using these laws to keep African Americans out of their places of business. If a black man had a business that was making good money some nieve white men would burn their homes/shops down because they were jealous. If a white and black person were together they’d hang the black person in the middle of town which is so crazy. Ricky- a Jim Crow was a stock character, used for getting a point across to the General Public, a Jim Crow was used in Minstrel shows as a means of communication to people who did not know how to read. And now it's where we go into extremely racist territory, hm Crow was a white person who put whatever black stuff all over their face to look like a black person and to act like a black person for the plays that they had of the book Uncle Tom's Cabin - Ethan - These laws enforced racial segregation. Like saying that they were equal but separated. Jim Crow was also a character used in some plays which was an ethnic depiction of the white man's idea of a black person. Ben- Ending slavery didn’t end racism that’s for sure, I’d say only 80% of the laws making slaves free were really only 80% freedom. It just shows how people have socially adapted and even though there are still bad things happening today, it’s a lot better than before. - Blake - So y’all basically covered everything and give me crap for writing about something already used so i’ll just be going over the basics. Jim Crowe was a derogatory term used to describe African Americans it was also used as a name for a set of laws set by white people to legally segregate. That’s all we have time for today.

Welcome back to The Emancipation Podcast Station - the place to hear about history researched and retold through the eyes of Middle school and HS students. Last time on the show…   Today we discuss the causes of the Civil War. Let’s dive in.   Introduction to the Gilded Age Why was it called the Gilded Age? And Who coined the term.   Hunter- The gilded age in American was the late 19th century, from 1870 to about 1900. The name of this point in time was used in the early 20th century, and was derived from writer Mark Twain’s 1873 novel the Gilded Age: A Tale Of Today, which started an era of social problems covered by a thin gold gilding. Skylar - The Gilded Age began in 1865 and Ended in 1898. The gilded age was a time where everyone was focused on the development of the United states, mainly industrial type things. The Gilded age didn’t mean the golden age but more of a cover, like everything is perfect but really it’s not. Ricky-Ricky-The Gilded Age was an age in the 1870s to the early 1900s it was a time of economic growth for American citizens and non-immigrants. In wages Rose from $380 from 1880 to $564 in 1890, a gain of 48%. The widespread industrialization led to a real wage growth of 60% in between 1860 and 1890. - Blake (gabe)- The Gilded age was a time period in which hard times fell on the american and immigrant people.   Gabe - The Gilded age was a time where americans economy went good and bad in a way because industry grew but money not so much.     - Ethan - The Gilded Age was the time that America began to revolutionize their industrial world. Mark Twain coined the term “Gilded Age” which meant the time seemed pretty good but was truly miserable. Someone who profited from the Gilded Age was John D. Rockefeller, who was the founder of oil. Oil was just 1 of the “titans of industry” which were steel, banking, and oil. The miserable part would probably be that they got their money mostly through corruption. Ben- And with every urban explosion there were poor people, in apartments without heating or even light, it was 5 cents a night, which doesn’t sound like much, but they were poor and money was different then it is now. They had to fit as many people as possible to get the most out of the room too.   The Gilded Age and the Second Industrial Revolution Name one invention that came out of the Second Industrial Revolution. Hunter- The Second Industrial Revolution, also known as the Technological Revolution, was a time of quick industrialization in the last third of the 19th century, and the beginning of the 20th. Some of the inventions are of the following the swiss army knife, barbed wire, dynamite, and the motorcycle. Oh and some of my personal favorites are the Maxim Machine Gun, and the colt .45 M-1911. Skylar - The Second Industrial Revolution went on in the same time as the Gilded Age. This was time for mass production of things, as well as communicating about business tractions, materials, all that weren’t existing before. The Bessemer Process was a big deal in this time, it made steel easy and quicker to produce, so trains became more of a option for transporting things before. During this time the US had more railroads than all of Europe combined. Ricky- As everyone said the Second Industrial Revolution was basically a time when a bunch of new inventions were made that revolutionized the industrial system like as Skylar said it made steel a lot easier to produce creating easier ways to create a railroad system. A lot of inventions like petroleum gas, electrification was a big thing, Machine Tools like drills and saws, chemical tools like ammonia, and chlorine, rubber, bicycles, the invention of automobiles, some fertilizers, telephones, and a lot of scientific knowledge, as well as the making of new weapons as Hunter said like the Colt 45 M119 pistol, the Thompson submachine gun which shoots 45. ACP rounds which is famously said to be used by high-ranking gangsters, the M1 Garand which is a 30 caliber round.                                                                        4. Gabe - as Hunter and Ricky said we Developed a lot of technology in the gilded ages second industrial revolution. But railroads helped increase income and production because we used them for transportation shipping goods all across america.   - Blake(ben) - As everyone has said previously this was a big time for the early United States which revolutionized building and processing for wealthy businessman looking to get a start in the material industry. - Ethan - The Second Industrial Revolution took place in 1870-1914. Some say it went up to the start of World War 1. This Revolution was also known as the Technological Revolution. During this revolution things like the telephone and electricity were made. This revolution wasn’t just in America, but in Britain and Germany. Lesser known countries were France, Italy, and Japan. - Ben - After the first industrial revolution they had all these new things so they refined it and made it better.   Social Darwinism in the Gilded Age What is Social Darwinism and do you think there is any truth in it? Skylar - Social Darwinism is just basically seeing what people are on the outside. Social Darwinism says that the poor have less worth that a higher class rich person. It’s judging people for what’s on the outside and your social class rather than judging someone for what’s on the inside like being kind. Acting like a snob means you have more worth to someone who believes in Social Darwinism, when in reality they are worth less for judging people just by how much money they have, or how they look. Ricky-- Social Darwinism is the idea and belief that it is survival of the fittest. It stole the term from Darwinism evolution and plastered itself all over politics as social Darwinism. Gabe - Social Darwinism started in the gilded age because people started applying his idea that the strong rule the weak to people in there life and so on. - Blake(hunter) - Do I seriously have to do this one? Oh boy. Social Darwinism was a terrible thing it basically said that white people are better than others and that humans evolved from apes. - Ethan - Social Darwinism, in more proper terms, was seeing natural selection in the people around us. Anyone that considered themselves a Social Darwinist did not go by any such term. The term Darwinism wasn’t really used much except by people that were opposed to it. Ben- It got the term Darwinism because Charles Darwin studied evolution, so since people believed in survival of the fittest, like the theory of evolution, the called it darwinism. America moves to the city Why did most of America start moving to cities and leaving farms? Skylar - In 1790 nearly everyone lived in the country or on a farm.

People were obsessed with industrial industry and thought it would be more profitable to move to cities. The Knights of Labor   What were the Knights of Labor and what do you think about them?

In the shadow of Reconstruction lived Homer Plessey. During the Jim Crowe era southern states found ways to impose highly restrictive regulations on Black society. One principal method was to restrict Blacks from mixing with Whites. Separate facilities dominated the South and Homer Plessey would test whether Louisiana's segregation regulations were Constitutional. The court ultimately ruled that Separate but Equal facilities were legal. This decision became the precedent to allow segregation throughout the South and was upheld until 1954.
