In this dispatch from our virtual road trip through the American South, we travel north from Greenwood into Leflore County, once the most violent county in Mississippi. We encounter overlooked and forgotten stories, including the history of African American emigration, memory and willful amnesia on Money Road, and how a forgotten massacre in the 19th century and generations of anti-Black violence in Leflore County helped to create the culture that enabled the 1955 lynching of Emmett Till. Join us as we run up against the persistent genie-souls of the Mississippi Delta, who continue to turn everything upside-down.[0:00] Two Roads Diverged in Greenwood[0:43] The Evacuation of Leflore County[1:59] Losing it All on the Money Road[3:34] Choosing What to Remember and What to Forget in Money[7:20] The Most Violent County in Mississippi[8:06] Why We Need to Remember Emmett Till[9:34] The Forgotten Massacre of Leflore County[18:15] The Power of Memory and the Danger of Forgetfulness[22:46] A Hall of Injustice Becomes a House of Praise Get full access to The DETOURIST at adeepersouth.substack.com/subscribe

Eds works from inside to outside on the hill as he tells Sean the life story of Ron LeFlore, who by sheer natural talent and a bit of luck managed to make it to the big leagues even though he'd never even played a game of baseball until he landed on the fields of Michigan's Jackson State Prison.
Why do some courts and lawyers instinctively react to examinations under oath (EUOs), also called sworn statements, as if they're "secret depositions?" When conducted properly, they clearly aren't. But the issue still arises from time to time. In this episode Garrity talks about two recent court rulings. One is from a Florida federal judge that rejected an effort to have the court treat EUOs and depositions as one and the same. The other, from South Carolina, sanctioned a defendant for taking an EUO that the court said in essence was the very deposition the court had forbidden. Garrity offers some fantastic thoughts and tips for conducting EUOs in a way that mnimizes the risk a court will confuse them with depositions, which are an intellectually and procedurally different animal.SHOW NOTESFed.

Life is like a movie, and every day is a new scene. You may stumble upon challenging roles and face unexpected obstacles, but remember, every great story has a hero who rises above it all. So, embrace the plot twists, enjoy the action, and ensure it's a story worth watching. Sometimes in life, we get trapped in spaces where we used to be, and so we deprive ourselves of the chance to discover more of what our eyes couldn't see at the moment and what our minds couldn't still grasp. We must therefore realize that every opportunity to grow is worth the try because, in this way, we allow ourselves to explore more of what we're capable of doing and be in spaces wherein we can contribute meaningfully. Moreover, we must always keep in mind that every work we do portrays who we are. Hence, despite our self-doubts, we must remain persistent and determined in what we do because everyone will receive their unique opportunities in time. However, we must recognize that no matter how skilled or accomplished we are, errors and missteps are bound to occur and that our treasured career positions could shift in just a snap. Therefore, we must learn to appreciate every chance given to us despite our shortcomings and always possess a heart of gratitude that welcomes struggles as it welcomes blessings. Demarcus Leflore, also known as Filmanati, is a father, digital creator, videographer, and award-winning cinematographer. Demarcus has been making videos mainly for birthday parties and weddings but is now taking a switch to make sports-related videos for Jackson State University. Demarcus is also part of a production crew wherein they document monumental football events and share the inside look at how these players surmount the highs and lows in sports to unite as one toughened community. In this second part of our special episode with Demarcus Leflore, we will learn about the challenges he encountered when he stepped outside of music video production and embraced opportunities, along with his courage to let go and move forward. Today's episode will help us realize that though an uncertain situation causes us to doubt our abilities, we must always take the courage to see the bigger picture. Be captivated by the life of Demarcus as he continues to present us the life and struggles of a cinematographer and how he carries the weight of the camera on his shoulder as he carries it on his heart and motivation.

It has been said that a camera is an extension of our eyes. It provides the opportunity for us to capture the beauty, emotions, and stories that unfold around us on this extraordinary journey called life. Undoubtedly, many things will test our strength and challenge our dreams, such as life's unfavorable circumstances, fears, and other factors that blur our vision to success. However, we have the power to overcome these things and prove that our potential knows no bounds. Therefore, we must learn how to adjust our perspectives and see obstacles as opportunities for growth. Consequently, each difficulty allows us to acquire new skills, expand our knowledge, and develop resilience. We must also develop the courage to beat some odds and take chances. It is in those moments of stepping outside our comfort zones and embracing uncertainty that we discover the true extent of our capabilities. Moreover, we must learn to allow ourselves to make and learn from mistakes. Thus, by permitting ourselves to make errors, we are freed from anticipating a future filled with unsolved fears and overwhelming regrets. Nevertheless, when we open ourselves to limitless possibilities for improvement, we will create our own unique narrative of success. Demarcus Leflore, also known as Filmanati, is a father, digital creator, videographer, and award-winning cinematographer. Demarcus has been making videos mainly for birthday parties and weddings but is now taking a switch to make sports-related videos for Jackson State University. Demarcus is also part of a production crew wherein they document monumental football events and share the inside look at how these players surmount the highs and lows in sports to unite as one toughened community. In this special episode with Demarcus Leflore, we will learn about the journey of an empowered man in the film industry. Today's episode will encourage us to take courage in stepping into a new environment and realize that sometimes we have to try a different way of showcasing our talents to see areas wherein we can improve and prosper. Be captivated by the life of Demarcus as he presents us the life and struggles of a cinematographer and how he carries the weight of the camera on his shoulder as he carries it on his heart and motivation. "I wasn't afraid to make mistakes because I understand that sometimes I may have to bump my head at least once or twice to realize what I'm doing." – Demarcus Leflore Topics Covered: (00:00:00) Introduction + Episode Snippet (00:00:49) Introducing our special guest, Demarcus Leflore. (00:02:14) How Demarcus got to work with Coach Prime (00:04:13) Demarcus' first remarkable video creation (00:06:34) When things exceed your expectations (00:08:41) Taking a switch to fit in.

(00:30:50) The essence of having teams in a production crew (00:32:00) Outro Key Takeaways: "I had to understand that there are different creative points of view." – Demarcus Leflore "I went from doing small videos and just jumping straight into working for the XFL, which is a part of my appreciation story with Coach Prime." – Demarcus Leflore "When somebody points you out in front of everybody because you did a great job, that was a moment you would wish to be recorded and reminisce later on." – Demarcus Leflore "I'm the real deal even though I come from a place that doesn't produce the real deal as often as other places do." – Demarcus Leflore "I've been doing my due diligence of studying, researching, and networking with many different people in the film industry way before I met the production crew of Coach Prime." – Demarcus Leflore "There was a lot of stuff that was new to me in the film industry. We had production meetings, crew calls, and they had a vocabulary I had never heard before being on a film set, but I have to act like I've been there." – Demarcus Leflore "The new ways of filming, new lenses, cameras, and memory cards are relatively new to me." – Demarcus Leflore "The thing that kept me in the game and not being one of those people that get fired from a production crew so fast was being able to adjust." – Demarcus Leflore "Having a traveling job is much more demanding than waking up and going to a 9 to 5 because you have to manage flights, sleep schedule, and you are trying to go to sleep, and it's like everything is crazy." – Demarcus Leflore "You must understand that getting in the documentary crew is on set all day." – Demarcus Leflore "The cameras are going to roll regardless. When it rains, we only put rain covers on our cameras and a garbage bag across the smaller cameras." – Demarcus Leflore "When you say cameras don't stop rolling, we also had to remind ourselves that sometimes they do stop because the heat is bouncing off them so hard, and whether it be the camera or us, that may overheat." – Demarcus Leflore "So, regardless of who's coming off break or going on break, a camera can bounce from what they're doing to come over and continue to get the shot. – Demarcus Leflore Connect with Demarcus Leflore: Email: Filmanatiproductions@gmail.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Filmanati/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Filmanati LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/demarcus-leflore-16957314a/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/filmanati/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@filmanatiproductions1783/ Connect with Dr. Derrick Burgess: Website: https://www.drderrickthesportsdr.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drderrickthesportsdr/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimeOut.SportsDr LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrick-burgess-72047b246/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHGDu1zT4K_X6PnYELu8weg Email: thesportsdoctr@gmail.com This episode of TimeOut with the SportsDr. is produced by Podcast VAs Philippines - the team that helps podcasters effectively launch and manage their podcasts, so we don't have to.

Urban renewal alters the landscape drastically, reshaping things, and sometimes erasing a whole neighborhood and its history. One of the few buildings to survive the urban renewal project around the Mill Creek Valley neighborhood was the The Berea Presbyterian Church. Just press play to hear the whole story. ------ Click on search links to see if there are episodes with related content: Amanda Clark, Architecture, Black History, Religion, Podcast Transcript: I'm Amanda Clark, manager of the See STL Tours program at the Missouri History Museum, and Here's History, on eighty-eight one, KDHX. ——— In the mid-20th century, several neighborhoods were demolished in the name of urban renewal. One of the largest was the Mill Creek Valley neighborhood near St. Louis University, home to over 20,000 African Americans. 6,000 buildings were demolished, leaving few hints of the neighborhood's vibrant culture and community. One survivor is the former home of the Berea Presbyterian Church, which is now known as St. Louis University's Il Monastero banquet space and was built in 1929. ——— The Berea Presbyterian congregation was founded in the 1880s and was the first African American Presbyterian Church west of the Mississippi. For the Mill Creek Valley community, the church served as an important community hub – and of the 40 churches in the neighborhood, it was the only one that survived demolition. ——— In 1964, the innovative public housing project Laclede Town was built nearby, and it brought a vibrant community back to Berea. The same period also brought the church its first white pastor, Carl Dudley – an activist and dedicated supporter of the Black community. Under Dudley, Berea and Laclede Town became the center of St. Louis counterculture and Black arts. Their popular coffee shop, Circle, was the de facto community center for Black artists and activists including members of the Black Artists Group, known as BAG. BAG's nearby headquarters housed artists and activists, provided meeting and performance space, and provided arts classes to over 200 Black children. ——— Berea, Laclede Town, and BAG were deeply entwined – the director of Laclede Town offered 3 months of free rent to musicians that would there, which was most often at Berea Church's Circle Coffee – which was managed by BAG member LeRoi Shelton. BAG member Shirley LeFlore and Shelton were also members of Berea Church where LeFlore lead the Berea Messenger Singers, an all-female a cappella ensemble. ——— Laclede Town was demolished in the 1980s and Berea Presbyterian Church relocated its congregation to the Compton Heights neighborhood, where it is still active today. ——— Here's history is a joint production of the Missouri History Museum and KDHX. I'm Amanda Clark and this is 88.1 KDHX St. Louis. ———

“THE LEFLORE COUNTY BIGFOOT WAR” and 4 More Freaky True Stories! #WeirdDarknessClick here to find Weird Darkness in your favorite podcast app: https://linktr.ee/weirddarkness IN THIS EPISODE: Did you hear about the time Bigfoot and humans went to war against each other? It supposedly did happen in real life and I'll tell you the story! (The Leflore County Bigfoot War) *** The body of 25-year-old Jason Chase was found several weeks after he had gone missing – but the cause of his death was a mystery to everyone for almost twenty years. (The Eerie Death of Hiker Jason Chase) *** There are people in life that you just would rather not deal with. Wouldn't be great if you could just put them on ice and let some other future generation deal with that person? Well, aside from the morally unacceptable actions you'd have to take to make that happen, the technology for doing so might not be too far away. Some of the ulta-wealthy are making plans to be brought back to life later, or to live for a very long time, or… even to be immortal. (How The Super Rich Plan To Live Forever) *** Soon after moving into their quaint Massachusetts country home in 1981, Lui and Dale Passetto encountered a force of pure evil that almost destroyed them and their family. (The Passetto Family Possession) *** On August 29, 1890, a 16-year-old boy named Otto Lueth was hanged at the Ohio State Penitentiary in Columbus. He had been tried and convicted of the murder of Maggie Thompson, age 9 – a murder for which he had shown no remorse. It is a sad and tragic story… but also one of utter horror.

This week's topic is about the amazing path Ron LeFlore took to the Major Leagues, which is unlike any other before or since. After a botched armed robbery in 1970. LeFlore would play the game of baseball for the first time in his life, for the Jackson State Prison baseball team, where he would be discovered by Tigers manager, Billy Martin. Within three years of his release from prison, he would find himself as the starting Center Fielder for his hometown Detroit Tigers, on his way to what appeared to be a top shelf caliber career. He had developed himself into one of the most dangerous hitters in the American League. And he excelled at what else? Stealing of course. This is the incredible story about Ron LeFlore. #RonLeFlore #JacksonStatePrison #BillyMartin #JimLeyland #MontrealExpos #ChicagoWhiteSox

This week I'm joined by JC Leflore. We talk about his struggles with mental health and what it took to finding a way back from staring into the abyss.

Thank y'all so much for tuning in and we will see y'all next week! Big love!
Imagine this scene: an adult family member is watching your child while you run a quick errand. Upon returning home, you discover your house is on fire. Smoke is billowing, flames are dancing on the roof, and the face of your helpless child is pressed to the window of his second-floor bedroom. What do you do? I imagine most of us would unhesitatingly rush in to rescue our child. Rev. Ceasar LeFlore says this is the fate of public school students throughout our state and nation. As the flames of indoctrination consume government schools, our children are trapped and we, their parents, are the only ones who can save them. In this address at the recent Pro-Life Pro-Family Coalition Conference in Orland Park, IL, Rev. LeFlore encourages parents to rescue their children from the secular and sinful indoctrination of public schools, and instead bless them with the strong discipleship and academic excellence found in home schools, co-ops, and Christian schools. Additionally, Rev. LeFlore discusses the various entities that are working to undermine Christianity/faith, freedom, and parental authority; the subversive and dangerous Agenda 21; and the pornographic, absolute evil that is Comprehensive Sex Education. He concludes with an overview of home school options and a final exhortation to parents. Rev. Ceasar LeFlore is the Field Director of the Public School Exit Initiative at Illinois Family Institute. Please share this timely podcast with family and friends and encourage them to click on Rescuing Our Precious Children From Anti-Biblical Indoctrination on the Illinois Family Institute homepage for more information.

We have a very special edition of Spotlight this week, full of information and enthusiasm! While attending the 2021 National Religious Broadcasters Christian Media Convention, Pastor Ceasar LeFlore conducted an interview with Yvette Hampton, writer, producer, and host of the upcoming documentary, Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution. LeFlore and Hampton discuss the importance of removing our children from government school indoctrination and how local churches can facilitate this vital change. Hampton stresses the biblical mandate for parents to embrace their role and responsibility to educate and discipline their children in accordance with the all-sufficient Word of God. In addition to relating how her husband supported her as she responded to God's leading to homeschool their daughters and to take on the documentary project, Hampton also offers helpful options, solutions, and encouragement for parents, especially single moms, who are considering homeschooling.
