How much do you know about Black history? From African women's rebellions on slave ships to a former enslaved man whose account of the first Juneteenth differs from what we hear today, to Benjamin Banneker's life, to how Islam found its way into American popular music in multiple genres, there is a lot of information that doesn't necessarily make it into your average curriculum. In A High Price for Freedom: Raising Hidden Voices From the African-American Past, author and historian Clyde W. Ford addresses these and other topics, seeking to illuminate and amplify little-known figures from the past, from Elizabeth Key's court case in the 1600s to the true mission of the marches in Selma to more modern accounts. The title of the book takes its name from a young man named Jimmie Lee Jackson, who was killed in 1965 by an Alabama state trooper. As he lay dying in the only hospital that would treat Black people, Jimmie Lee whispered to his nurse, a nun, "Sister, isn't this a high price for freedom?" Ford's latest release includes factual accounts about people and events in the African-American past that teach things many of us never learned and may challenge the stories we thought we knew. Clyde W. Ford is the author of fifteen works of fiction and nonfiction, and is a psychotherapist, an accomplished mythologist, and a sought-after public speaker. In 2006, Ford received the Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Award in African American fiction. In 2019, he was named a finalist for the Hurston/Wright Award in African American nonfiction. In 2021, Clyde received the prestigious Washington Center for the Book Award, the Nautilus Book Award in Social Justice, and was a finalist for the Goddard-Russo Prize in Social Justice for Think Black. Clyde was honored as a "Literary Lion" by the King County Library System in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2019. He was voted "Best Writer of Bellingham, Washington" in 2006 and 2007 by readers of Cascadia Weekly and received the 2007 Bellingham Mayor's Arts Award in Literature. Ford is currently a speaker for Humanities Washington, an affiliate of the NEA, where he presents a program entitled, "Technology, Race and Social Justice," around the state. He is also the Director of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Library Publishing Project at HarperCollins. Clyde has participated in hundreds of media interviews and has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, New Dimensions Radio, and NPR. He lives in Bellingham, Washington, where he founded the city's annual Martin Luther King Day commemoration in 1991, and enjoys walking the mountains and cruising the waters of the Pacific Northwest.

Friend, put your phone down. Quit doomscrolling. You owe it to yourself and everyone else who came before you. It's time to get in the fight, and First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth by Angélique Roché, Alvin Epps, Millicent Monroe, and Bex Glendining is a comic designed to inject some serious motivation into your social media-addled, catatonic body. The fight may be new to you, but it's been raging for centuries. That's not a despairing thought; it's an activating one, and once you stand on the shoulders of the heroes that came before, you'll find the perspective required to block the hateful from gaining any more ground than they already have. As a comic book reader, you already have all the tools and knowledge to resist fascism. On this week's podcast, we chat with journalist, comic creator, and podcaster Angélique Roché. Once approached to write First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth, she threw herself into an intense research phase. We discuss the stress and excitement of the process, and the motivation she secured in telling Dr. Opal Lee's life story. Juneteenth was only recognized as a national holiday in 2021. It's the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Day was signed into law in 1983. It never would have happened without Dr. Opal Lee and the lessons she learned from other warriors over her extraordinary lifetime. First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth arrives in comic book shops and bookstores, thanks to Oni Press, on February 10th.

It's Episode 222 (“the triple deuces”), and the crew kicks things off from the brand-new EC Studios Greenville branch—then opens with a very public apology for the episode dropping late (yes, including the MLK Day mix-up). From there it's classic BLC riffing on wild headlines: PBR's Godzilla-themed 99-pack, fast-food weirdness (including a mayo variation being tested), and a story about “protein powder” that allegedly turned out to be cake batter—plus the consumer health implications. #blcpodcast #podcastingforthepeople #funny #podcast #greenvillesc #scpodcast #yeahthatgreenville Listen at: https://americasfavoritepodcast.com Tweet the Show: https://twitter.com/blcworld Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blcpodcast/ Check us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blcpodcast/ Buy Fred and Allan Beer: https://www.patreon.com/blcworld

Today is Martin Luther King Day. One of the issues that most concerned Dr. King - especially in the last several years of his life - was access to housing regardless of race. The book at hand examines the practice of "Redlining," a means used to exclude certain types of people from various neighborhoods. Josh Silver's book is titled "Ending Redlining through a Community-Centered Reform of the Community Reinvestment Act." The book underscores how it is not enough to pass laws with the best of intentions; those laws must be properly and carefully implemented. GB

Celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on MLK Day 2026 and European nations call for an emergency meeting of leaders following Donald John's threat in a letter to Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and linked his demand that Denmark hand over Greenland to his personal grievance over having not received the Nobel Peace Prize , warning that as a result of the snub, he “no longer” felt “an obligation to think purely of Peace.”

Sorry to end the week with bad news but tomorrow, January 16th, is Blue Monday, often cited as the most depressing day of the year. Blue Monday has existed since 2005, and is based on an equation which takes into account various factors. However, its detractors criticise the idea as pseudoscience and say it is driven by money.    Since the first Blue Monday equation was devised by psychologist Cliff Arnall, there have been a few different variants, but there are common elements to each. Of course you've got the winter weather, which explains why Blue Monday isn't a phenomenon in the southern Hemisphere, where January is a summer month. Blue Monday is also not well known in the United States, as it usually clashes with Martin Luther King Day. Why does Blue Monday occur in January? Black Friday, Super Saturday, Blue Monday - why do I get the feeling this is just another marketing thing? Is there any scientific evidence backing Blue Monday ?

Kia ora,Welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news political risks have moved higher overnight, but by less than you might have expected given the pressures.First we should note that today is Martin Luther King Day in the US, celebrating a man of peace, a Federal holiday so financial markets are closed. But no one missed the irony of the day given the US President telling the Norwegian Prime Minister he is no longer feels committed to peace.The fallout has been a rise in long term interest rates (a rise in the risk premium), and a fall in the US dollar. Equities slipped it in non-US trading.In Canada, their December inflation rate rose slightly to 2.4% from 2.2% in November, with the latest month rises relatively quickly. But there are base issues here with the ending of some GST relief measures. However, excluding petrol, their CPI rose 3.0% in December, following a 2.6% increase in November.The Bank of Canada released two important sentiment surveys overnight. Results of the Q402025 survey of consumers show that concerns over high prices and economic uncertainty related to the trade conflict with the US continue to have a negative impact. And after a weak year, businesses expect domestic sales growth ito improve slightly. Export sales are expected to be modest. Most businesses plan to maintain or decrease current staffing levels.In Japan, they have called a snap election for February 8. A key issue will be GST relief. But financial markets are concerned that will make their fiscal imbalances worse.In China, the property sector is acting like a curse on their economy. They reported that house prices fell by -2.7% in December from a year ago. That was a -1.7% fall for new-builds and a massive -7.0% fall for resales. The overall results is the 30th consecutive month of price decreases and their fastest pace since July. There are no capital gains in Chinese housing, anywhere.That is crimping consumer attitudes is a significant way. China's retail sales rose just +0.9% year-on-year in December according to official data, slowing from a +1.3% increase and missing market expectations of a +1.2% gain. This is their weakest growth since December 2022.But China also said its industrial production was +5.2% higher than a year ago, and rising. Coal output hit a new record high. However, China's electricity production was only +0.1% higher in December from the same month a year ago. It is hard to believe their industrial production data if this was the case.All this data then results in a Q4-2025 4.5% rise in GDP, according to their official report, marginally better than the expected +4.4%. Booming exports squares the circle. So they are claiming a neat +5% 2025 annual growth, exactly as the Party had said at the start of the year.Probably of more importance, China also released updated demographic data for 2025. The said 7.9 million babies were born in the year, down from 9.5 million in 2024. The number of people who died in 2025, 11.3 million, continued to climb. It is being widely accepted now that these trends cannot be reversed, and will lead to profound population changes.In the EU they also released December CPI results for December. Their annual inflation was 2.3% in December, down from 2.4% in November. A year earlier, the rate was 2.7%. Germany, Italy and France had lower rates, Spain and most of Eastern Europe had higher rates, some a lot higher.Globally, the IMF raised its global growth forecast to 3.3% from 3.1% this year, but warned that major risks are building. The upgrade reflects resilient activity, strong labour markets and heavy investment in new technologies, especially artificial intelligence. However, they cautioned that these same forces could become sources of instability. Rapid AI-driven investment, particularly in North America and Asia, is supporting growth and equity markets, but if productivity gains fail to materialise, it could trigger sharp market corrections and weaken household wealth. New Zealand gets no mention or coverage in this report. Australian growth is forecast to be +2.1% this year and +2.2% in 2027. They noted Australia's inflation-control challenge. India is the star, but strong results are also expected from Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. China's 5.0% growth in 2025 is expected to dip 4.5% in 2026, 4.0% in 2027.Australia's Monthly Inflation Gauge, as surveyed by the Melbourne Institute, surged +1.0% in December from November, the fastest pace since December 2023 and a sharp pickup from the prior two months. That puts it +3.5% ahead of year-ago levels. The recent surge may well get the RBAs attention. Don't forget the RBA next reviews ints monetary policy two weeks from today on February 3. Next Thursday's labour market data, and the following Wednesday's December CPI data will be crucial decision aspects.The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.27%, up +4 bps from this time yesterday and its highest since September.The price of gold will start today at US$4672/oz, and up +US$76 from yesterday and a new record. Silver is has pushed up to US$94.50/oz and also a new record high.American oil prices are essentially unchanged from yesterday at just under US$59.50/bbl, while the international Brent price is still at US$64/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is up +40 bps from yesterday, now at just over 57.9 USc. Against the Aussie we are up +20 bps at 86.3 AUc. Against the euro we are also up +20 bps at just on 49.8 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today just over 62, and up +30 bps from yesterday and its highest so far this year.The bitcoin price starts today at US$93,206 and down -2.0% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/- 1.6%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

Le débrief Hebdo de ce weekend est ici C'est un lundi de "guerre froide" qui s'ouvre sur les marchés. ❄️

Zucht. De jubelstemming zat er voor het weekend nog zó goed in, maar daar zakt de AEX alweer door de 1000 punten heen, met dank aan de Amerikaanse president. Donald Trump geeft het startschot met nieuwe heffingen op acht Europese lidstaten die troepen naar Groenland stuurden. Europa reageert furieus en wil terugslaan. Wat betekent een nieuwe handelsoorlog voor je favoriete aandelen? Hoe moet Europa terugslaan? Waarom schrijven zoveel mensen dat Europa duizenden miljarden aan Amerikaanse staatsobligaties moet dumpen, alsof dat zo makkelijk gaat? Dat en meer bespreken we met Robbert Manders van het Antaurus Europe Fund. Trump vergat overigens om heffingen af te kondigen voor één land dat troepen stuurde naar Groenland: België. Maar wij laten onze zuiderburen niet in de kou staan. We bespreken de aankomende beursgang van Belron, het kroonjuweel dat de holding D'Ieteren al jaren de lucht in helpt. Dat sterretje in je steeds duurdere autoruit helpt Belron met dochterbedrijven zoals Carglass naar een waardering van 24 miljard euro. Verder bespreken we Chris Hohn, de Britse sterbelegger die de grootste absolute fondswinst in één jaar neer wist te zetten: 19 miljard dollar. En goed, je kan nog zeuren over dollars, je kan zeuren over een 'momentopname', maar dat track record van meer dan 18 procent per jaar na kosten dat alle indexen verpulvert sinds 2003? Dat liegt er niet om. We bespreken zijn geheim.

A Unitarian Universalist Sermon for Martin Luther King Day | Rev. T. J. FitzGerald | 01.18.2026 In his sermon "The Name of Love," Rev. T. J. FitzGerald reflects on on Martin Luther King Jr.'s message for us in troubled times. Drawing from Dr. King's teachings on agape love, nonviolence, and moral courage, this UU sermon explores what it means to live with purpose when fear, injustice, and division feel overwhelming. It looks honestly at the tension between love and resistance and why Dr. King believed real love always carries a cost.

Year A – Second Sunday after Epiphany– January 18, 2026 Pastor Megan Floyd Isaiah 49:1-7 John 1:29-42 Grace and peace to you from God and the Holy Spirit, and from Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, whose light and love we follow. Amen. *** Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! Look here! Here is the Lamb of God! We hear this story now… today… in the season of Epiphany because Epiphany is a time to illuminate God's revelation to us through Jesus. And God is being revealed to us… here… and now… as God was revealed to John the Baptist when he saw Jesus rise from the waters of baptism. John the Baptist, who heard the voice of God tell him to watch for the one on whom the Holy Spirit would descend as a dove… that he would be the one who baptizes with fire and the Holy Spirit… watch for this one… he is the Son of God. Behold… the Lamb of God who has come to lift away the barriers between you and God… Behold… the Lamb of God who has come to stand between you and evil… Behold… the Lamb of God who has come to liberate you from the sin of the world. Yes! Behold… Jesus has come to liberate the oppressed… to free them from the sin of the world that has held them in shackles… Behold… Jesus has come to liberate the hungry… to free them from the sin of systems that uphold inequality and imprison people in their poverty. Behold… Jesus has come to liberate those who are wounded and hurting… to free them from the violence that harms. Behold… Jesus has come to liberate us from our brokenness… to bring healing to our hearts and to our land… to rebuild the nations and bring peace. Behold! God is revealed to you… through this man, Jesus, who has come to liberate you from your sin and from the sin of the world… so come and see… follow him… and abide with him. How does it feel in your body… in your heart… to hear this call from John to behold Jesus… and to hear the call from Jesus to come and see… to follow… to abide with him? How must it have felt for those who were there… those being crushed by Empire… trapped in poverty… bound to systems of discrimination and oppression. To hear this good news as one who is being crushed… it's a lifeline… a ray of hope and a cause for rejoicing! Yes, I do want to come and see… I do want to follow… and I do want to abide with Christ! And yet, when we look out at the world today… I sometimes wonder how much has really changed. Jesus calls us to join him in the mission and ministry of liberation, but …Lord, there is still so much suffering. It's not lost on me that we hear this call to us… this call to join in the work of liberation… on the eve of Martin Luther King Day… a disciple of Jesus and a prophet who gave his life for the work of liberation. Like all prophets, Martin Luther King held up a mirror to his country… he showed us the sin of our society and challenged us to confess… to repent… to change our hearts and minds… and to rejoin Jesus in the work of liberation from the oppression of our sin. Martin Luther King held up that mirror… and he was killed for it. He was killed because facing our sin is painful… and liberating the oppressed means disrupting systems of wealth and power and privilege… it means disrupting systems of Empire. …and when you strike at the Empire, the Empire strikes back. Jesus calls us to come and see, but what we find might make us uncomfortable. And in the face of discomfort, far too many run and hide. In the face of discomfort, they turn away from the liberating message of Jesus… they focus solely on the individual salvation they hope to receive, and they challenge the prophets and preachers that hold up those mirrors. Unable to sit in the discomfort of the good news of the Gospel's liberating message for the poor and oppressed, they turn away, and they cry out that politics has no place in the pulpit! …as if it were truly possible to separate Jesus' call to welcome the stranger and love your neighbor… from the salvation that comes from abiding in and with Christ. You cannot… you cannot abide with Christ… while ignoring what he came to do, and how he calls to us to join him. Truly following and abiding with Jesus… true discipleship leads to liberation for ourselves and others… but it does not always lead to comfort and material blessings. It cannot… because truly following Jesus and abiding in him means standing with him in his mission and disrupting systems of sin. Behold! The Lamb of God who has come to take away the sin of the world! …but my friends, Jesus didn't come to wave a magic wand. No, in fact… Jesus came preaching this good news and calling us to join him. Jesus came to invite us into God's grand mission of love… for loving others is the only path toward liberation for us all from our sin. This is the path on which we follow Jesus. Dr. King preached this for us when he said… "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate… only love can do that." To abide in Jesus… is to abide in love. Every generation has these crisis moments…moments when our sin against others… our sin against our neighbors… is illuminated to a point where it can no longer be ignored. These are moments when it becomes so blindingly clear that the harm being done to the least among us… the harm perpetuated against the very people Jesus called us to love and care for… is also causing incredible harm to our entire society. Our sin is harming everyone around… and it is this kind of sin of hatred and fear and abuse that holds us apart from God …apart from our Creator who loves us beyond measure. I do believe we are living in our crisis moment right now. Witnessing the terror and the atrocities being committed is enough to drive good people into despair. …but we must not despair. We must not despair because God is still being revealed to us through Jesus, and Jesus is still calling us to abide in his love… to disrupt systems that perpetuate sin and to show up for those in need wherever we can, and however we can. Showing up… won't look the same for everyone… and that is good and right, because God calls us all, across the full diversity of Creation… to show love in as many different ways as there are people. And Jesus does not call us for our sake alone… Jesus calls us to abide in his love for the sake of others… and ultimately for the sake of creation. If we focus only on ourselves, we miss the point. Through the prophet Isaiah, God says, "It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the survivors of Israel; I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth." God's liberation… is like ripples of water on a pond… expanding outward beyond ourselves… reaching to the ends of the earth. And God is faithful and true and will not abandon Jesus' mission of abiding love. So behold, the Lamb of God, who comes to take away the sin of the world… to lift away the barrier that keeps us apart from God, and invites us into abiding love. But also… hear this now… this is important… your salvation does not depend on you getting this right. We will all mess it up… none of us are perfect, and God knows it. However, you are already claimed, redeemed, and beloved by Christ, in all the messy ways we do life. Jesus knows you fully… knows all of your joys and sorrows… all of your virtues and your flaws… and loves you as you are… and still calls you… as you are to join him in his mission of love and liberation. However, faith and discipleship are not meant to be passive… because the joy of this life of discipleship is found in seeing how the way of Christ brings light to the world and heals others through love. The way of Christ has the power to transform the darkest corners and flood them with light and love… so we cannot keep this way of Christ to ourselves. This is the good news… it must be shared, especially… in times of such darkness. We need Christ's light for the sake of the world. We need disciples who respond to hate and fear by drawing on the strength and love of Christ, and flood the darkness with light and love. That is the only way forward for us. This is the way of Jesus. We don't join with Christ to earn our salvation or become worthy of God's love… but we answer Jesus' call to abide with him… because we are already loved. And because we are already loved, we can look upon our neighbor with love… and we can see clearly that our liberation is bound up with theirs… and only together can we work to break the chains that bind, and set the captives free. Jesus, the Lamb of God, calls us in love to come and see… come and see this work of liberation… come and see how our lives are connected to all others… come and see… and follow… and then abide with him in his love… for the sake of the whole world. Amen.

This week on CounterSpin: The website of the Kairos Democracy Project has a quote from John Lewis, reminding us, “Democracy is not a state. It is an act.” Our guest Tanya Clay House is board chair at Kairos and a longtime advocate for the multiracial democracy that the Trump White House seeks to denounce and derail — in part by erasing the history of Black people in this country. As part of that, she's part of an ongoing project called Freedom to Learn and its present campaign, called #HandsOffOurHistory. Corporate news media evince lofty principles about the First Amendment, but when people actually use it, the response is more telling. When USA Today covered activism in Seattle around the WTO, it reported that, “Little noticed by the public, the upcoming World Trade Organization summit has energized protesters around the world.” You see how that works: If you're the little-noticing “public,” you're cool; but if you band together with other people and speak out, well, now you're a “protester,” and that's different — and marginal. Whatever they say in their Martin Luther King Day editorials, elite media's day-to-day message is, “Normal people don't protest.” In 2025, there's an ominous addendum: “Or else.” We hear from Danaka Katovich, co-director of the feminist grassroots anti-war organization CODEPINK, currently, but not for the first time, at the sharp end of state efforts to silence activists and activism.   The post Tanya Clay House on Freedom to Learn / Danaka Katovich on Attacks on Activists appeared first on KPFA.

In honor of Martin Luther King Day, we are again shining the spotlight on the remarkable life of Fannie Lou Hamer. As a small child, her hard labor was key to her family's survival. She grew up to become a fiery civil rights activist who would not be silenced by intimidation, violence, or the personal wishes of the President of the United States himself.

The Daily Boost - Episode 5011 Are You Working ON Your Life or IN It? Host: Scott Smith Episode Description In this thought-provoking episode, Scott Smith tackles the universal challenge of procrastination with his signature blend of humor and wisdom. He weaves personal anecdotes, timely observations about Inauguration Day 2025 and Martin Luther King Day, and robust business insights from "The E-Myth" to deliver a compelling message about taking control of your life. Through engaging storytelling, Scott challenges listeners to examine whether they're truly working on their life or just being swept along by it, offering practical wisdom for those ready to stop being "crastinators" and start taking action. Featured Story Scott shares the insightful parallel between Michael Gerber's "E-Myth" concept and personal life management. Just as a plumber can get caught up in running a plumbing business instead of doing actual plumbing, people often find themselves caught up in "running" their lives instead of truly living them according to their vision. Key Takeaways - The simplest success recipe: Stand up, take a step, repeat - Being aware of what's truly holding you back requires honest self-reflection - External interruptions and others' return to routine can derail your New Year plans - Success is an ongoing journey that continues even after achieving initial goals - The importance of distinguishing between working "in" your life versus working "on" your life Memorable Quotes "The only time you get to stop standing up, taking a step, and repeating is the day you die." "Have you sat down to work on your life, or are you just buzzing around in your life?" "Stand up, take a step, repeat. That's it. That's the world's easiest success recipe." Scott's Three-Step Approach 1. Honestly assess what's truly holding you back in your life 2. Take control of your schedule instead of letting it control you 3.
