Watch a Conversation With Luminaries Descended From Ida B. Wells, Frederick Douglass & Booker T. Washington

 

Watch a Conversation With Luminaries Descended From Ida B. Wells, Frederick Douglass & Booker T. Washington

In honor of Juneteenth, join FRONTLINE and PBS Black Culture Connection for a conversation that will reflect on the work of historic leaders including the abolitionist Frederick Douglass and the journalist Ida B. Wells, whose reporting raised awareness about lynching and was an inspiration for FRONTLINE's Un(re)solved project.   You can RSVP now to watch the virtual event on Friday, June 24 at 2 p.m. Eastern; it will also stream on the PBS Black Culture Connection Facebook page. The discussion will feature insights from: Michelle Duster: Author of Ida B. the Queen and a faculty member at Columbia College Chicago, Duster is the great-granddaughter of Ida B. Wells. Kenneth Morris Jr.: Founder of the Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives and the descendant of two of the most influential names in American history, Morris is the great-great-great-grandson of Frederick Douglass and the great-great-grandson of Booker T. Washington. The event will be moderated by journalist Ron Nixon, global investigations editor at the Associated Press and a co-founder of the Ida B. Wells Society for Investigative Reporting.   Nixon, Duster and Morris will discuss how history, education and storytelling can reveal truth and provide pathways toward empowerment and justice. Their conversations will also explore cold case killings during the civil rights movement, and how they relate to the state of race relations in American today.

Happy Father’s Day!

 

Dear Mr. Timor You, Dear Mr. Timor You, Happy Father’s Day! I hope that this day may bring many graces on the fathers in your life. The question can be asked, “What is a father?” Or, more precisely, “What is a Catholic father?” I think that many men feel embattled as the war on masculinity has reached epic proportions. With the gender-bending, pronoun-swapping craziness going on, it’s a wonder any male dares call himself a real man these days. My dear friend, Adrien Fonseca, will share his thoughts on Fathers in this just released YouTube video. A Catholic father today MUST stand out. He cannot be mediocre and still be Catholic in the pagan days in which we live. Would you like to know what constitutes a “mediocre” man? Well, you could read The Republic by Plato.  But I suggest you click here and watch this short YouTube video instead. You will enjoy Adrien’s impassioned thoughts about fathers on this Father’s Day! And after watching the video, please share it with the father figures in your life. Timor, I was thinking the other day about how Christ was truly God and truly Man. Then it occurred to me, perhaps this is why Satan wants to erase the image of what it truly means to be a man by erasing from our minds and experience the masculine qualities of Christ. And by doing so, to emasculate the Catholic Faith in men and the strength that has always been required in its practice. Thank you, my friend, for letting me share my thoughts with you today. Now please click here and watch this YouTube video of one young Catholic man who is far from mediocre. I remain your friend, In Jesus and Mary, Robert E. Ritchie Director, America Needs Fatima www.americaneedsfatima.org PS: Here is a short prayer you can say today for fathers everywhere:  Heavenly Father, Thou entrusted Thy Son Jesus, the child of Mary, to the care of Saint Joseph, an earthly father. Bless all fathers as they care for their families. Give them strength and wisdom, tenderness and patience; support them in the work they have to do, protecting those who look to them, as we look to you for love and salvation, through Jesus Christ our rock and defender. Amen. I hope that this day may bring many graces on the fathers in your life.

 Detective fiction is a subgenre of crime fiction and mystery and suspense fiction, in which an investigator (most often a detective, professional or amateur) investigates a certain crime, usually a murder.

It has a very well defined structure, even when the narrative does not respond to the chronological presentation of the events. It is made up of three parts:

https://www.infobooks.org/free-pdf-books/mystery-and-thriller/

Introduction: The crime, murder or criminal enigma is presented.

Nudo: Multiple questions are raised, different possible suspects and the investigation is delved into.

Outcome: The murderer is discovered or the enigma is solved (the outcome is not open).

In this type of novels the detective never fails, therefore, we will always obtain the answers to the questions planted in its pages at the end. They never talk about perfect crimes. The reader usually identifies with the investigator and experiences firsthand the investigations that reconstruct the crime until they find the murderer.

Butler, Sci-Fi Trailblazer Today, we celebrate the birth date of Octavia E. Butler (1947–2006), who blazed a trail science fiction. As a Black woman writer, she broke the mold at a time when the genre was white male-dominated. One of her best-known books, Kindred, is more speculative than science fiction, and is one of my favorites. Here are some fascinating facts about this accomplished author who died too soon. Read More   The Group by Mary McCarthy Yesterday (June 21) was the 100th birthday of Mary McCarthy, (1912–1989) so it's fitting to present her best-known work, The Group. The 1963 novel hit the New York Times bestseller list and stayed there for nearly two years. Considered scandalous for its time, it touched on issues of contraception, abortion, mental illness, male chauvinism, and lesbian relationships, as experienced by young women in the 1930s. The film version premiered in 1966, featuring a stellar cast (including a breakthrough role for Candice Bergen). Read more   The Literary Traditions of Self-Publishing As a way to avoid rejection, or after having given up on finding a publisher or agent, writers increasingly turn to self-publishing. Print-on-demand or e-book services allow writers to create books on an as-needed basis, avoiding the pitfalls of overprinting. Whether the product ends up in the hands of the author’s relative or sells like wildfire, it’s good to have options. Turns out, some well-known writers of the past took the same route before being conventionally published. Read more

Dear Reader, It's now official: We're in a bear market.

 

Dear Reader,

Dear Reader,

It's now official: We're in a bear market.

With the S&P 500 down more than 20% (and the NASDAQ even worse)... a lot of folks are finally coming around and admitting it:

The "everything bubble" has popped.

It's easy to be bearish now. It's almost "cool" all of a sudden.

But NOBODY was saying this when it mattered – like I did.

And having called this crisis perfectly so far, I'm telling you:

A 20% fall is likely just the beginning. It's about to get much uglier.

And if you don't want to suffer a wipeout like 2008, you need to make a strategic move now.

Luckily, I'm sharing a ONE-step plan for free, right here.

If you've been avoiding taking action – this could be the last wake-up call you're ever going to get.

Please, do this before it's too late.

Regards,

Dan Ferris
