Ron Edwards is scheduled to join me today to discuss topics of the day. A quick update on the story about a 5-year-old boy shot dead by a man in Wilson, North Carolina who reportedly ran up to the child while he was playing and fatally shot the child in the head. A trucking company based in Illinois announced recently that it will no longer deliver to cities that are calling for police to be defunded. Investigative journalist David Steinberg has been piecing together "32 new, verifiable, archived pieces of evidence" that indicate Ilhan Omar conducted the "most extensive spree of state and federal felonies by an elected congressperson in U.S. history." Nearly six thousand Americans renounced their citizenship in the first six months of 2020, a massive increase over the previous six months. This and more as time allows, plus don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day!

Jamla Records recording artist Heather Victoria releases her new single “Sunbeams” today. It’s the second single off her forthcoming EP, Boutique Hotel, which is set to drop on October 11th, with features from Big K.R.I.T and Raheem DeVaughn. She brings back the nostalgia of 90's R&B soul with a vintage sound. “Sunbeams” embodies Heather Victoria’s tranquil style. The song is filled with melodic vocals that compliment the airy beat. Heather Victoria personifies the essence of being a woman, ultimately empowering and encouraging her listeners. Heather Victoria’s articulation of the vulnerability of womanhood is inspiring. In a time where women are permeating the music scene, she is ready to stake her claim. “Sunbeams” is a follow up to the dreamy single, “Japan”. Heather dropped an acoustic visual for the single in early August. “Japan” acoustic visual serves as the perfect teaser for what’s to come. Hailing from Wilson North Carolina, this southern belle is no stranger to the game. Growing up in around other musicians such as her mother (a singer in the band Ultra Sonic), Heather Victoria was already honing her craft at a young age. Pulling musical influences from R&B's most renowned singers Mary J. Blige, Anita Baker, Monica, Toni Braxton, and Beyoncé Heather discovered a sound of her own.

When I was an undergraduate, I noticed that there were certain books that seemed to be unavoidable (at least at my liberal arts college). They were assigned in many classes, and they were discussed in many others. Reading them seemed to be a secret requirement for graduation. These “liberal-arts essentials” included Plato’s Republic, Rousseau’s Social Contract, Lockes’ Two Treatises on Government (especially the second), Kant’s Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics, Marx and Engels’ The Communist Manifesto, Freud’s Civilization and its Discontents, and John Bergers’ Ways of Seeing. Another was William Sheridan Allen’s The Nazi Seizure of Power: The Experience of a Single German Town, 1922-1945 (Quadrangle Books, 1965). It explained the rise of National Socialism in a new and revealing way: from the bottom up. In Sheridan Allen’s story, the local politicians, shopkeepers, and housewives of Northeim (Hanover) moved to the fore, while Hitler, Goering, and Goebbels remained in the background. Here the locals “made history,” and they did so ways that we would all recognize from our own local communities. Charles McKinney, Jr has written a similar book, though one with a much happier ending. Greater Freedom: The Evolution of the Civil Rights Struggle in Wilson, North Carolina (UPA, 2010) tells the tale of how one small city in the South negotiated the rough transition from Jim Crow to Civil Rights and beyond. In McKinney’s telling, the people of Wilson (North Carolina) make history; Martin Luther King, et al. remain off stage. These common folks–both Black and White–discuss, argue, protest, sue, threaten, fight, organize, lobby, and vote their way to a “greater freedom” over the course of many decades. In the pages of McKinney’s fine book, we see how Civil Rights actually happened “on the ground.” I hope it becomes required reading as Sheridan Allen’s book once was.
