Ingo Michehl spent six and a half years as one of the Moonies' most productive fundraisers, selling laser-etched foil pictures out of a Ford Transit van at a twenty-fold markup, sleeping five hours a night, and believing every dollar liberated God's suffering heart. Recruited off a San Francisco street corner at nineteen while visiting America from Germany, he came out the other side with a master's in counseling psychology and a career helping people leave high-control groups, playing music, traveling and working on his dream to make a film that is educational about cult mind control and liberation. LIke Ingo, I too was deceptively recruited by this Korean cult that still has great wealth and influence, including in world politics. He exited when a Chistian shared information with him that contradicted his beliefs in the Moonie ideology of the “Divine Principle.” Ingo was liberated from a mind control cult by a stranger who cared and warmly interacted with him and encouraged him to think for himself. This episode is valuable as so many people are beginning to wake up from their own information silos. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Randle head coach Brian Randle joins Rod Babers and Gerry Hamilton to reveal the behind-the-scenes story of Landen Williams-Callis' commitment to Texas. Coach Randle admits Texas A&M held the recruiting advantage for much of the process, but explains how Chris Gilbert's relationship with Williams-Callis and his family helped the Longhorns completely change the trajectory of the recruitment and land one of the state's most productive players. The guys also break down why Williams-Callis' 5-foot-8 frame can become an advantage, highlighting his low center of gravity, elite vision, contact balance and explosive acceleration. Coach Randle discusses carefully managing his workload, his remarkable strength and durability, and the character that separates him away from football—from protecting classmates from bullying to displaying the maturity and leadership of an “old soul.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Eric Avila quit racing, but he didn't quit the sport altogether.The 2021 USATF Road Mile champion spent eight years with Adidas before walking away in 2024. This included a torn plantar fascia, a contract offer attached to a marathon move he didn't want, and a competitive fire that quietly fizzled out. What surprised him wasn't missing the racing. It was losing the structure that had organized every morning of his adult life.Now he runs a sports group out of Southern California, and he's direct with Dominic about how the money actually works. They talk about why you have to be roughly top ten in your event before anyone pays you, why high school NIL deals are a separate marketing bubble most athletes are built to age out of, and why the scholarship (not the shoe deal) is the realistic prize for nearly every kid. He also guesses at Josh Kerr's world-record bonus and weighs whether the sport will ever shed its contract NDAs.The back half is a coaching clinic.Avila builds training backwards from racing, argues most high schoolers show up with exactly one pitch, and caps his senior boys near 45–50 miles a week while loading the quality inside it. He walks through the traffic-light plan he gives athletes mid-race, what he taught a young Hobbs Kessler about leaning into pain, and why he'd rather an athlete learn to win than learn to time trial.Underneath all of it is one idea borrowed from European soccer: a real academy pipeline, built here, for runners.Tap into the Eric Avila Special. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

Have you ever heard of Operation Paperclip? Originally called Operation Overcast, it was a top-secret U.S. operation that brought countless Nazi researchers, scientists, and engineers to America, where U.S. officials sought to utilize their research. Colin Heaton is an expert on Operation Paperclip and a historian and the president of CD Heaton Historical Consultants. Colin highlights some of the top Nazi minds that were brought to the U.S. during the operation, why they were coveted for their knowledge, and how they persecuted not just the Jewish people during the Holocaust, but also many Allied prisoners of war. Colin's newest book release, The Star of Africa, details the life of German Luftwaffe Captain Hans-Joachim Marseille. TAKEAWAYS Each Nazi researcher or scientist had his own motivations for their work Some German scientists wanted nothing to do with Hitler, but feared for their lives if they did not assist the Nazis Colin's deep interest in World War II history began during the 1970s, when he was reading a book about German fighter pilots Operation Paperclip was a huge secret, since recruiting foreign nationals for U.S. military work would have been prohibited

The noon "All Local" update for Friday, July 24, 2026.

Behind the glossy facade of instant fame and easy cash lies a dark reality: the OnlyFans ecosystem is fueling a collapse of personal integrity and weaponizing intimacy for profit.Recruited en masse through predatory TikTok pipelines that target young women with promises of luxury, creators are pushed into an industry that turns human connection into a predatory transaction. Driven by ulterior motives, some models escalate from selling explicit content to running calculated romance scams, deceitfully draining vulnerable followers of hundreds of thousands of dollars under the guise of love. As these deceitful practices mount, even mainstream financial institutions are severing ties and shutting down their accounts. The result is a toxic culture where character is degraded, trust is monetized, and financial ruin awaits on both sides of the screen.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depraved-and-debaucherous--5267208/support.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X and TikTok @kingofpodcasts (F Meta!)Listen to KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast.Buy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcasts

Skull and Bones is not a campus rumor. Founded at Yale in eighteen thirty-two by William Huntington Russell, Alphonso Taft, and other students, the society selected small annual classes, met inside a private High Street building known as the Tomb, and became associated with the Russell Trust Association. Its emblem, a skull and crossed bones over the number three twenty-two, remains one of the most recognizable symbols in American elite culture.The unresolved issue is not whether the society existed, or whether prominent Americans were members. Yale records, biographies, photographs, archival material, and public statements document alumni who later became presidents, senators, intelligence officials, diplomats, publishers, financiers, and judges. The harder question is whether Skull and Bones merely identified students already moving toward influence, or whether its privacy and alumni network helped carry them there.This episode follows the society from its founding through the Tomb, the tapping system, the Taft and Bush family connections, disputed ritual accounts, the Geronimo allegation, and the extraordinary two thousand four election, when George W. Bush and John Kerry stood on opposite sides of a presidential race while sharing membership in the same Yale society. The evidence shows access, continuity, and silence. What it does not conclusively show is command.This podcast uses artificial intelligence in its research, writing, production, and narration.

This is Bubba Thurman's story. Bubba Thurman is the president of Baker Brothers Plumbing, Air & Electric in Dallas–Fort Worth — the first non-family president in the company's history, dating back to its founding in 1945. Last year, Baker Brothers did $105 million in revenue and exceeded $18 million in EBITDA — a level of profitability most home services companies only dream about. His path was anything but linear. A Division-I baseball catcher who was certain he'd go pro, Bubba broke his back in a 1991 on-field collision and watched the dream die. “Baseball was a false well,” he says. He spent the next 22 years in ministry — helping build the largest youth ministry in the country and learning leadership under his mentor, Steve Stroop — before burning out and making an improbable leap into the trades. Recruited by Jimmie Dale to Baker Brothers, Bubba earned the team's trust the hard way: “I ran calls, I dug trenches, I wore a uniform.” Then he drove the culture transformation that helped take Baker Brothers from roughly $20 million to more than $100 million. In this episode, Bubba walks Bob Houchin through the whole journey — and the playbook beneath it. In this conversation, you'll discover: Why culture is “just a set of norms” — and how to make excellence the normal The $0 cleanliness campaign that started the turnaround: “don't step over a piece of trash” How to layer standards one at a time so they actually stick The three-win strategy that aligns the customer, the employee, and the company What changes when leadership “lands on your desk” — the real weight of the top job His message for a tough market: stop chasing what you can't control — “you are your best marketer” “You earn equity when you do things above and beyond” — and the Miss Johnson light-bulb test Why “when you roll up, the clock starts” — and how micro-changes compound across 700 jobs a day Whether you lead an HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or roofing company — or you're building toward your first leadership seat — Bubba's story is a masterclass in building a culture of excellence that scales. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

Most parents want their athlete to play college basketball.The problem? Many athletes say they want it too—but their daily habits tell a different story.In this episode of It's Just Different, Ashley Roberts sits down with longtime grassroots basketball coach Ed Durham to discuss the realities of youth basketball, recruiting, and player development in today's game.From coaching elite talent and navigating the AAU landscape to helping families understand what it actually takes to play at the next level, Ed shares unfiltered insight on the challenges facing athletes and parents today.The conversation explores the growing gap between expectations and reality, why honesty is missing from many recruiting conversations, and how the explosion of AAU teams has impacted player development.

We had a theory.If we wanted to get better at hosting MFM experiences before our October event, maybe we should stop overthinking it and start practicing.So we did what any responsible adults would do...We recruited single guys off X. What could possibly go wrong?In this episode, we compare two very different experiences. One guy showed up late, brought a little too much confidence, and reminded us why single men get a bad reputation. The other arrived with a completely different energy and ended up giving us one of the hottest MFM experiences we've had in a very long time.Along the way we talk about:Why sourcing people online is far harder than most couples thinkThe questions we ask before inviting someone into our homeThe difference between confidence and entitlementWhy chemistry matters more than musclesLauren's thoughts on being the center of attention in an MFMWhy Richard prefers MFM over most foursomesWhat actually makes a great thirdBlack lights, puck lights, and accidental lifestyle scienceThe psychology behind why some experiences feel electric and others fall completely flatJoining us is Haley, who helps us break down the female perspective, why MFM dynamics can feel so different from traditional foursomes, and why being surrounded by masculine energy is such a turn-on for some women.#room77events SIN October 2026 and FLIRT Feb 2027Sponsors and Affiliates:KushKube and KingB: We're calling this the Tush Kube!

Promotion: Denied by Lt Col Joseph W. Hoffler USAF-Ret. https://www.amazon.com/Promotion-Col-Joseph-Hoffler-USAF-Ret/dp/B0GGZ36KCG Promotion: Denied is a powerful true account of institutional racism, betrayal, and moral courage within the United States Air Force Academy. In this deeply personal and meticulously documented narrative, Lt Col Joseph W. Hoffler, USAF (Ret.), exposes how a distinguished twenty-two-year military career was derailed by racial prejudice, unlawful investigations, and a deliberate cover-up by senior leadership. Recruited to serve as a role model for minority cadets, Hoffler instead found himself targeted by a system meant to uphold honor, integrity, and justice. Through firsthand testimony, official records, and lived experience, this book reveals how misuse of authority, fabricated allegations, and bureaucratic silence led to the denial of promotion and forced early retirement. More than a memoir, Promotion: Denied is a compelling civil rights narrative that challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about racism in elite institutions. It serves as a warning to future service members and a call for accountability, transparency, and reform within the military and beyond.

Send Kevin a Text MessageMark Canton, producer of 300, Immortals, Men in Black, Air Force One, and My Best Friend's Wedding, former President of Worldwide Production at Warner Bros., and former Chairman of Columbia Pictures and Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Companies, joins host Kevin Goetz for a conversation about a career defined by passion and instinct. From delivering mail on the Warner Bros. lot as a college student to greenlighting some of Hollywood's most beloved films, Canton reflects on the legends he learned from, the risks he took, and why he still smells the circus every time he walks onto a sound stage.Queens, New York, and Family (02:34): Canton traces his love of film to a father who survived being shot down over France in WWII, won an Oscar for a short film on Van Gogh, and went on to do publicity for Hitchcock and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and to a mother who was a published poet. The movies, he says, were always destiny.Learning from the Greats on Papillon (15:22): Working for director Franklin Schaffner in Jamaica and living between the houses of Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman, Canton learned what it meant to commit to a film.From the Warner Bros. Mail Room to Running the Studio (20:31): Canton traces his rise from UCLA film student to head of Worldwide Production at Warner Bros., sharing stories about the Vacation franchise, Caddyshack, and Lethal Weapon.Taking the Helm at Columbia Pictures (39:22): Recruited by Peter Guber and Jon Peters, Canton became Chairman of Columbia Pictures and later oversaw Columbia TriStar. He reflects on the team he assembled and the record-breaking run that followed, including Jerry Maguire, My Best Friend's Wedding, Bad Boys, and Air Force One.The Art of the Difficult Screening (47:51): Canton recounts two defining test screening moments: a chaotic preview of Scorsese's The Age of Innocence in a New Jersey bowling alley, and a tough audience response to Luc Besson's Léon: The Professional that led to an ultimatum and a reworked film that became a modern classic.The Cable Guy and No Regrets (50:43): Canton defends paying Jim Carrey $17 million and notes what history confirmed: the film launched Ben Stiller's directing career, introduced Jack Black, Owen Wilson, and Judd Apatow. He also recalls his affectionate standoff with Mike Nichols over the ending of Wolf.What Keeps Audiences Coming Back (54:50): Canton argues that what fills theaters today is the same thing that made Purple Rain a phenomenon: the feeling of a live, communal, irreplaceable experience.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Mark CantonProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Mark Canton:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_CantonIMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004799/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markcanton/?hl=enFor more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

Have you ever been recruited for a job, a team, a role that you didn't really know was coming your way? Those disciples on the road to Emmaus were. They didn't know it at the time, but Jesus appeared to them and recruited them into his grand design. They invited him into their home for the evening, offered him food and drink. It was only after he took charge and blessed the meal that they realized who Jesus actually was. Then they became an even bigger part of the story by immediately turning around to go back to Jerusalem and share the good news of Jesus' resurrection with the Eleven.  God often recruits us be leaders in the same way. We may want to have others in the limelight because it can be hard to see ourselves as leaders, but we all have the capacity within us.  Today's message comes from Pastor Sarah. Our Gospel lesson is from Luke, Chapter 24, verses 28 - 35.

What makes a highlight tape actually get a college coach's attention—and why do most players get it wrong? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Nick Garrett, Head Football Coach at Andrew College, who has helped 38 players earn scholarships in just two years, to break down exactly what coaches look for when evaluating film. Coach Garrett explains why most highlight tapes are too long, why coaches often decide within the first few clips, and how poor body language, weak communication, and bad recruiting habits cause players to get passed on. We also dive into when JUCO is the right move, how parents should think about the recruiting process, and why many athletes wait too long to start marketing themselves. Whether your son is trying to earn his first offer or deciding if JUCO is the best next step, this episode gives you a clear roadmap for getting recruited the right way.Want Some 1:1 Help With Getting Your Son a College Football Scholarship?

Sometime this month, some parents will be posting an All-Star roster their kid just didn't make. Somebody else is signing a five-thousand-dollar ECNL fee. Both families are pretty sure the other families have it figured out. They don't.Craig walks through the actual soccer pyramid in plain English — what ECNL was when it started, what it became, why every club in a 30-mile radius now wants the badge, and the specific misconception being sold to parents of 8-year-olds about how this all works. (Spoiler: 11v11 is open tryouts. The kid who joined at 8 has roughly the same shot as the kid who walks in at 12.)Then Chad pivots to the other machine: All-Star selections about to drop, travel ball schedules muscling Little League games off the calendar, parents getting glazed-over eyes about their nine-year-old being on the right team. He's about to post a roster. He's been cursed out a lot. He has thoughts.The whole episode is built on one observation: the incentives at every layer of youth sports — clubs, leagues, coaches, parents — are not actually aligned with what's best for the kid. The clubs want the badge. The leagues want the participation numbers. The parents want to feel like good parents. The kids just want to play with their friends and get ice cream after.Plus: how to actually evaluate a coach when you don't have a network of soccer people. Why retention is the metric nobody asks about. The thing Michael Jordan, of all people, has to do with all of this. And why "diamonds are made of pressure" is a half-quote — and the half people leave out is the half that matters.If you're sitting in your driveway staring at a tryout schedule, an All-Star bid, a travel-ball contract, or a $5K invoice — this is for you. Not because we have it figured out. Because we don't either, and that's worth saying out loud.You're not alone in the struggle. You're just in a louder bubble than usual right now.

In this high-stakes episode of HR's Most Dangerous Podcast, Joel and Chad swap their usual banter for a masterclass in human psychology with Jim Lawler, a former CIA case officer who spent 25 years convincing people to commit treason for the United States. Lawler pulls back the curtain on the "addictive" world of espionage, describing his career across posh European postings as a relentless pursuit of the "adrenaline junkie" high that comes from subverting foreign governments. From his early days nearly skipping the agency for a "miserable" family business to the pinnacle of his career dismantling nuclear networks, Lawler shares the gritty reality of being a "professional manipulator" within the lanes of U.S. law. The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Lawler translates his CIA tradecraft into actionable wisdom for HR and recruiters. He breaks down the legendary MICE framework—Money, Ideology, Coercion, and Ego—explaining why he never recruited a "happy person" and why ego is often the most powerful leverage point for turning an asset. Whether it's his ten qualities of a top recruiter—like "mastery of the metaphysics" and finding the "cracks" in a candidate's psychological armor—or his surreal story of sitting on $1 billion in gold in a Swiss vault, this episode is a deep dive into the art of building trust in the most untrustworthy environments.

Weichert details the downfall of Charles Lieber, a Harvard scientist and DARPA researcher recruited by the Thousand Talents Program to mirror his nanotechnology work in Wuhan, later convicted for making false statements and hiding Chinese bank accounts. The discussion shifts to CRISPR technology and He Jiankui's controversial genetic splicing on human twins, which reportedly resulted in unintended brain augmentations. Weichert warns that China views biotechnology as "dual-use," meaning advancements intended for civilian health are simultaneously being weaponized by the People's Liberation Army.

   Sisterhood, CIA, and the Terror Transition  APRIL 13, 2026This collection of transcripts details the transformative role of women at the CIA, from the agency's origins during World War II to the pursuit of Osama bin Laden. Authors and analysts explore how pioneers like Mary Bancroft provided vital intelligence during the Cold War despite being relegated to clerical roles and facing systemic sexism. The narrative follows the career of Heidi August, who rose from a secretary to a station chief, illustrating the shift in focus from Soviet espionage to global counterterrorism. A central theme is the intellectual contributions of female analysts, such as Cindy Storer and Barbara Sude, who identified the threat of al-Qaeda long before the 9/11 attacks. Despite their pioneering work in targeting and intelligence analysis, these women often struggled to have their warnings heard by male leadership. Ultimately, the sources highlight a hidden history of sacrifice and expertise, showing how a dedicated "sisterhood" fundamentally shaped modern American intelligence operations.1. THE OSS ORIGINS AND MARY BANCROFT Guest Mundy: Guest Mundy describes the CIA's WWII roots through the OSS, where elite, college-educated women like Mary Bancroft were recruited for their intelligence and language skills,. Working as Allen Dulles's "right-hand woman" in neutral Switzerland, Bancroft provided crucial analysis and handled a high-level Nazi double agent plotting against Hitler,,. Despite her sophisticated operational role, she faced blatant sexism, once being ordered by Dulles to fetch food during a meeting. Mundy explains that these pioneer women were intentionally tested for their tolerance of being under-recognized while men claimed credit for their work. (2)1952 WARSAW

Just Won a Natty/Indianapolis Vibes Starts at 0:51 No crying this time, but we do think we can have nice things now. You get out of it what you put into it; the UMHoops guys are probably experiencing the highest of highs. The 2023 football championship was a thing no other fanbase has experienced; this is what a normal natty feels like. Some of us survived the 2023-24 team. The story begins with the Ellerbe years, the Beilein era absolutely helped build this. Don't resent the Fab Five, but they unfairly had to represent what Michigan could be. Reconsidering the Juwan era, the heart condition, how badly he needed a GM. Beilein was spiritually (and literally) present for this team; loudest the stadium got before Michigan hit a three was when they showed him. Very unselfish team. Built through the portal—Cronin was never going to be a good fit for Mara, Rez wasn't going to have a role after Illinois got the other Ivisic, Cadeau was struggling in a bad system at UNC, Yaxel used the portal to get here from JUCO via UAB, Roddy Gayle was the national glue guy of the year, Nimari was here three years through two coaching changes, and Will Tschetter was a five-year player who took a smaller role: nobody can make a good faith argument that any of these guys don't belong here. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. The UConn Game Starts at 27:50 Takes hotter than the rims during the final last night. Story of the game was UConn fouling the crap out of Michigan from literally the tip. Miss the first Cadeau and-one, then hit 24 free throws in a row to offset the terrible threes, until Roddy missed his pair. Snakebit shooting because Rez/Mara/Yax kept getting mismatches down low, but Michigan was able to play their bigs together, and that just made it impossible for UConn to score. Felt like Lendeborg was himself on defense; offensively he was obviously hobbled. Their communication was fantastic, and there weren't mismatches for UConn to hunt. A time or two they got Mara versus Karaban on the perimeter or something, but they didn't get backcut once. Tarris was basically shut down by Mara. Only thing they got were those ORebs, which were hat tips to them and also related to Michigan taking way the three. Next year Trey McKenney; graded on a curve he made 2 of Michigan's three jumpers, including the dagger. The Rube Goldberg three. Cadeau vs the Cadeau we thought we were getting. 3. How this Team Came Together Starts at 59:16 Revisiting how the roster came together, May's eye for talent, because every guy he got at FAU wound up a star somewhere. You can't actually build from the portal; if that's the lesson they're taking from this team they're going to get lit up. Cadeau cleaned up the TOs (but still commits them at the end of the game his banana peel). On the human to athlete personality spectrum, Mara is a normal human being, who never should have been paired with Cronin—all little guys who play basketball are born killers because you have to be, but it's common for bigs to be like that. Mara was the best player; he developed into a beast by the end of the year. Transfer teams: if you look at the rest of the top ten four didn't make the Tournament; Michigan was the only protected seed that took a lot of transfers. St. John's and Louisville were the others. Once you're been at a school a year you're not a transfer anymore. Cig vs May: Cignetti relied more on his JMU transfers. It's especially hard to recreate what Michigan did defensively, because at the end these guys won a title by doing the best job of anybody of playing with each other. Introducing the Bobby Hurley Index: How many photos do you look like Jim Carrey in The Mask? 4. Next Year Starts at 1:38:41 Are they looking at the portal list or the list of guys projected to the late 1st/early 2nd round? Mara and Rez are probably done—small chance they get Rez back. Cason going to redshirt. Gayle, Burnett, Yaxel are out of eligibility. Cadeau and McKinney: best backcourt in the country next year? McCoy is Charles Matthews-ish, going to be a major defensive presence; if you get two years out of him he's a big get but he doesn't have a deep shot, might be freshman Darius Morris or what we wanted Rubin Jones (PG who can guard 1-4) to be. Recruited lots of SFs: Grady? Liburd? Brown? All going to be 6'5" gumby-armed switchable guards. Backup PG: can McCoy or McKenney can play point for 10 mpg. Do they have a wing? Want that guy to be switchable; Seth thinks they're going to have a big war chest to find an NBA four who can play the three in addition to two bigs. Goodman will be next year's Tschetter. Need three portal bigs. Is Dusty May the #1 coach you would want to have if you were looking for one right now? UNC search was Tommy Lloyd and Dusty May right?

He also explores a troubling pattern of missing and dead U.S. scientists tied to sensitive defense and space programs, raising questions about foreign espionage and potential retaliation by adversaries like China, Russia, and Iran.

2. Guest Author: James Shapiro James Shapiro explains how Hollywood's dominance decimated local theaters, leaving countless actors unemployed by the 1930s. To address this, Harry Hopkins recruited Hallie Flanagan, an experimental theater professor, to lead the Federal Theater Project. Flanagan treated the arts as a federally supported industry, eventually employing 12,000 workers and staging 10,000 productions across 29 states. One-fourth of the American population saw these plays, often for free. The project also established "Negro Units" to develop Black talent and reach underserved communities, involving figures like Rose McClendon and John Houseman. (2)1916
