Building trust and treating these families with respect and dignity is central to their approach.Cal elaborated on the significance of their various programs, such as Cookies and Convo, Chosen Fathers, and Mothers of an Angel. These initiatives offer inclusive grief support, helping families adjust to a''new normal' and providing the tools needed to heal and reinvent themselves. One notable program, 1st 48 Responders, ensures immediate support for families following a loss. "Despite what we are going through, we stand ten toes down in the work that we do," Cal stated, underscoring their community-driven efforts as a form of justice for their son and others.As they mark the 10-year commemoration of Michael Brown Jr., Michael Sr. reflected on the importance of remembering and humanizing his son. Their ongoing fight against police violence and systemic racism is highlighted by the recent loss of another young person to police brutality in their community. "We have served more than 1,700 families," Cal pointed out, emphasizing the continuing need for their essential work.Chosen for Change will participate in Race Forward's Cultural Week of Action on Race and Democracy from September 27th to October 5th. This new initiative harnesses art, culture, and creativity to advance dialogues and spark collective action for a multiracial democracy. During the event, *Chosen for Change* will unveil "As I See You," an art exhibit created through Michael Sr. and Cal's eyes in collaboration with Artivist STL, offering an intimate portrayal of Michael Brown Jr.'s life.In closing, Cal and Michael Sr. call for unity and urged listeners to support grieving families authentically. "If you do not have a voice, do not let anybody speak for you or your loved one until you find your voice," Cal advised. Their powerful testament to resilience and community strength continues to inspire and drive the ongoing fight for justice and equity. Resources  Chosen For Change Organizationhttps://www.chosenforchange.org/ The Michael Brown Foundationhttps://www.michaelbrownfoundation.org/‘I will never stop fighting': Michael Brown Jr.'s family turns pain into purpose” (via St. Louis Public Radio) https://bit.ly/3YYEHnw Race Forward and Americans for the Arts unveil the Anchor Projects for the Inaugural Cultural Week of Actionhttps://bit.ly/474DqgHPhotos: Family of Michael Brown Jr. marches on Ferguson 10 years later (via The Picture Show, NPR)https://bit.ly/3Mq9WjO About Race Forward:  Race Forward catalyzes movement building for racial justice.

  Book Vs Movie  Road to Perdition The Margos Return to Graphic Novels in This Special Episode The world of midwest Prohibition-era gangster life is the subject of this episode of Book Vs Movie with Road to Perdition--the 1998 graphic novel from Max Allan Collins and the 2000 film directed by Sam Mendes.  This returns the Margos to the graphic novel genre for the first time since Batman.  The novel is the first in a series on a gangster family--the O-Sullivan’s. Michael O’Sullivan Sr. works for the Looney family and sees the head boss Michael Looney as a father figure. Michaels is known as the “Angel of Death” and a ruthless enforcer for the Looney family. You owe them money and don’t pay--Michael will make you pay the ultimate price. He is played by Tom Hanks in the movie.  Michael has a wife (Annie) and two sons--Michael Jr. and Peter. One day, Annie and Peter are murdered and it’s up to Michael Sr. and his son as an unlikely duo to find the killers and avenge their loved one’s deaths.  In the novel, we meet a cast of characters including real-life criminals Al Capone and his enforcer Frank Nitti. Eliot Ness also makes an appearance and John Looney is quite a bit different than his movie counterpart played by Paul Newman (called John Rooney in the film.)  The movie sticks mostly with the basics of the plot with just a few name changes and without the appearance of Ness of Capone (Anthony LaPaglia filmed a scene as Capone that never made it to the final cut.) And Conrad L. Hall won an Academy Award for Best Cinematography who had passed away just before the award season.  So between the graphic novel and short story--which did the Margos like better?

In this ep the Margos discuss: The author’s journey to this particular story The biggest differences between the short story and the 2002 film  Trivia about the shooting of the film The cast includes Tom Hanks (Michael Sullivan Sr.), Paul Newman (John Rooney,) Daniel Craig (Connor Rooney,) Jennifer Jason Leigh (Annie Sullivan,) Stanley Tucci (Frank Nitti,) Tyler Hoechlin (Michael Sullivan Jr.), Jude Law (Maguire,) and Dylan Baker (Alexander Rance.)  Clips Featured: Road to Perdition  trailer Michael Sullivan Sr. confronts Rooney Connor Rooney “apologizes” Maguire meets Michael Sullivan Sr.  Outro music: Score by Thomas Newman Join our Patreon page to help support the show! https://www.patreon.com/bookversusmovie  Book Vs.

Ryan LaFontaine’s path after graduation was always clear – he wanted to work for his family’s auto dealership group, which was established by his father, Michael Sr., and mother, Maureen, in 1984. By 2008, LaFontaine was named chief operating officer of the LaFontaine Automotive Group, which has since grown to encompass 39 franchises, 20 retail locations, a global vehicles division, a parts warehouse and five full-service collision centers, employing more than 1,300 individuals across Michigan. And he is a recognized industry leader, having served as president of the Detroit Auto Dealers Association (DADA) and recently named chairman of the 2018 North American International Auto Show, the youngest chairman in the show’s 111-year history. LaFontaine is also proud to guide the next generation of automotive industry leaders through the LaFontaine Automotive Internship Program, a 12-week immersive experience at his dealerships. And while LaFontaine’s career has been meteoric, he suffered a setback in 2008 when he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. LaFontaine took that very difficult experience and turned it into something positive. He had heard about a 10-week nationwide fundraising challenge to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Even though he was fighting cancer and just had twin boys, LaFontaine and his sister, Kelley, decided to enter. “With family and friends at our side, we raised $228,000 for LLS, which was an all-time record,” he said. For his efforts, he was named the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Man of the Year in 2010. This successful fundraising effort propelled LaFontaine and his sister to go even further and create the U CAN-CER VIVE Foundation. The organization, which is run solely by volunteers so 100 percent of profits are donated to the cause, provides vital funding and support for local cancer research grants.

For many people, the simple fact of where they were born and raised played an integral role in their future success. For one person, he may credit his childhood of being raised on a farm in a small town as the reason for his strong work ethic. For another, living in a bustling, big city created a drive and passion to stand out from the masses. For many of us, we are products of our environments. It is because of this important point that we as husbands and fathers take into careful consideration the environments we expose our children to. In this episode, we begin our discussion referencing a recent article in which a former professional football player shares lessons he's learned from watching NBA MVP Stephen Curry. We then branch off to discuss how the Vance family came to settle in Huntsville, AL. Michael Sr. shares some of the considerations and sacrifices he made when choosing this location. Michael Jr. also shares some of the considerations he made when choosing a home church in Houston, TX. This episode is sure to be enlightening and thought-provoking. Listen. Learn. Enjoy.
