Another highlight is the 1898 African Suite, based on the ground-breaking poetry of the African-American poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar, a major influence on Coleridge-Taylor taking inspiration from the ideas of Pan-Africanism.Purchase the music (without talk) at:Chineke!

In history this month we read Booker T. Washington's famous "Atlanta Exposition Speech" and selections from his autobiography UP FROM SLAVERY to show the context. In reciprocity, then, the poetry of Paul Lawrence Dunbar contextualizes Washington's words, and is in turn contextualized by them. Lynchings in the South were peaking as Booker T Washington gave his speech to the Atlanta Exposition. Thus we find in the juxtaposition of poem and speech the real and the ideal, man's most evil deeds and highest aspirations. "The Haunted Oak" is curiously dispassionate, as it is the judgment of nature itself in the old oak tree upon man's inhumanity to man. The final stanzas disclose the psychological horrors of the perpetrator's "debt," and the violent desecration of nature and of nature's God: And ever the judge rides by, rides by, And goes to hunt the deer, And ever another rides his soul In the guise of a mortal fear. And ever the man he rides me hard, And never a night stays he; For I feel his curse as a haunted bough, On the trunk of a haunted tree. "And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel, thy brother .... What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground."

In history this month we read Booker T. Washington's famous "Atlanta Exposition Speech" and selections from his autobiography UP FROM SLAVERY to show the context. In reciprocity, then, the poetry of Paul Lawrence Dunbar contextualizes Washington's words, and is in turn contextualized by them. Dunbar's poem, "Paradox," echoes well themes from THE CHRISTIAN ATHEIST podcast, "where faith and reason fuse in the Incarnation." Dunbar here speaks of the contradictory realities in which we all exist, paradoxes that invoke the beauty and tragedy of life, both of which are real in the most robust of senses. Although Dunbar was not particularly religious (as I understand), I cannot avoid the resonances with the Incarnation itself in such lines as these: I am thy priest and thy poet, I am thy serf and thy king; I cure the tears of the heartsick, When I come near they shall sing. Enjoy the lyric beauty and the thoughtful spiritual challenge in these verses!

In reciprocity, then, the poetry of Paul Lawrence Dunbar contextualizes Washington's words, and is in turn contextualized by them. Dunbar's delightful poem, "The Cornstalk Fiddle," must warm the hearts of country folk everywhere, with its recall of inventive genius in "making do" with what nature provides in order to share in the communal joys of life and love. One can almost feel the cool autumn evening and the excitement of potential love moving in time to the cornstalk fiddle, evoked by these homespun verses.

A poem written at the turn of the 20th century by Paul Lawrence Dunbar about the formerly enslaved Americans who joined the Union to fight in the Civil War.
Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Earl Crawford Jr. Earl is a director and principal of multiple programs that serve at-risk youth. He views himself as a “servant leader”, but prefers to leave out the word “leader.” Ashanti and Earl work in the same field. But beyond discussing the world of education, they take off their masks and explore their fears, their family relationships, and how life can be summed up with a tortoise and a hare. (1:29) Ashanti's introduction. (4:30) Earl introduces himself and his work, and Ashanti shares how they have overlapped in education circles. (7:20) Ashanti walks Earl through his first time making a mask. (11:05) Earl and Ashanti share the fronts of their masks. Earl - engaging, hopeful, strong, Ashanti - caring, hard working, dedicated. (13:55) Earl shares the back of his mask - domestic violence perpetrator and victim, vulnerability, when I'm hurt or sad. He reflects on his tendency to withdraw from vulnerable situations, while still seeking the relief derived from sharing. He also shares how he feels like the traits on the front and back of his mask can be taken advantage of. (16:05) Ashanti shares the back of his mask - fear of failure, sadness, childhood trauma. He shares how social media has put himself in touch with a multitude of fears. Earl then encourages Ashanti by taking the tortoise and the hare fable to the next level, and Ashanti reflects on how he has become older and wiser. (23:22) Ashanti and Earl find commonality in their respective careers in education, as well as their lives as students in the very same city and system that they serve. (28:00) Ashanti and Earl break down Paul Lawrence Dunbar's “We Wear the Masks”, and what it means for both students and adults in the education system. (30:35) Earl shares his experiences, important learnings, and regrets as a father. (35:44) Earl gives a message to young people who may be hesitant to make a mask. (36:55) Earl shares how you can get in touch with him. --- Connect with Earl Crawford Jr. Instagram: instagram.com/encjr81 Twitter: twitter.com/encjr81 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/earl-c-40646014 --- Create your own mask anonymously at www.100kmasks.com If you are interested in being on the Face to Face podcast, email us at everforwardclub@gmail.com --- Connect with Ashanti Branch: Instagram: instagram.com/branchspeaks Facebook: facebook.com/BranchSpeaks Twitter: twitter.com/BranchSpeaks LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch --- Send in a voice message: anchor.fm/branch-speaks/message

PL Dunbar read by Classic Poetry Aloud: http://www.classicpoetryaloud.com/ Giving voice to the poetry of the past. --------------------------------------- The Dilettante: A Modern Type by Paul Lawrence Dunbar (1872 – 1906) He scribbles some in prose and verse, And now and then he prints it; He paints a little,--gathers some Of Nature's gold and mints it. He plays a little, sings a song, Acts tragic roles or funny; He does, because his love is strong, But not, oh, not for money! He studies almost everything From social art to science; A thirsty mind, a flowing spring, Demand and swift compliance. He looms above the sordid crowd, At least through friendly lenses; While his mama looks pleased and proud, And kindly pays expenses.
