  A Chance to Harmonize - How...

  In 1934, the Great Depression had destroyed the US economy, leaving residents poverty-stricken. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt urged President Roosevelt to take radical action to help those hit hardest. They set up government homesteads in rural areas across the country, an experiment in cooperative living where people could start over. To boost morale and encourage the homesteaders to find community in their own traditions, the administration brought in artists to lead group activities—including folk music.Working almost entirely (and purposely) under the radar, the music unit would collect more than 800 songs and operate for nearly two years, until they were shut down under fire from a conservative coalition in Congress that deemed the entire homestead enterprise dangerously "socialistic."Despite its early demise, the music unit proved that music can provide hope and a sense of belonging even in the darkest times. It also laid the groundwork for the folk revival that followed.A Chance To Harmonize reveals this untold story and will delight listeners with the revelation of a new and previously undiscovered chapter in American cultural history.

  If you enjoy political, historical or current event humor, take a load of this book.We will take the piss (or make fun of) The Illuminati, it's history and command and controlof every nation under the Sun.As I type this words Queen Elizabeth II is being buried. In this text, no shots will be taken at her life or legacy. It may differ during the audio post production. More knowledge may lead to many changes in your life. Truth is, the older one grows, the we realize, God controls over all, even a redneck cantankerous continues to learn this at almost an age north of 50. You are in for a treat because this version is not available in print, at least the last five or six chapters on audio.If you are a Bible reader, remember the Canaanites sacrificed their children to the god Molech. To me this became one of the cornerstone of these elite formations of this ‘Enlighted Group.’ Then it morphed into secret societies, free masonry, and evolved into controlling governments. Yet the Devil or Satan told Christ ‘All These Kingdoms Are Mine! So why are many of us are surprised after thousands of years, the control and command on Earth resides with him, the 13 Elite families, The Bilderberg Group, the CFR, The WEF, The WHO, The Octagon Group (Geneva Switzerland). In the off news sites, they are known as the Kazazian Mafia. This text is not designed to provide the exact origins of the Illuminati. There are several sites one may visit for this information. This author connects the past constructions of this group, shows how it is divided to conceal itself. The audio version will demonstrate the Red Neck or Southern twangs of pronunciation. Their may exist some decent secret societies but to my knowledge, of they are secret, then how do they help we brothers and sisters? I have read of the White Dragon and the Red Dragon Societies and a MC Club called SOS. Once a soldier in Iraq told us on a Humvee ride in Ramadi he was a member of the SOS. I replied, ‘Well if it’s so secret,

  This Will Be My Undoing - Living...

  Morgan Jerkins

  From one of the fiercest critics writing today, Morgan Jerkins’ highly-anticipated collection of linked essays interweaves her incisive commentary on pop culture, feminism, black history, misogyny, and racism with her own experiences to confront the very real challenges of being a black woman today—perfect for fans of Roxane Gay’s Bad Feminist, Rebecca Solnit’s Men Explain Things to Me, and Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie’s We Should All Be Feminists. 
  Morgan Jerkins is only in her twenties, but she has already established herself as an insightful, brutally honest writer who isn’t afraid of tackling tough, controversial subjects. In This Will Be My Undoing, she takes on perhaps one of the most provocative contemporary topics: What does it mean to “be”—to live as, to exist as—a black woman today? This is a book about black women, but it’s necessary reading for all Americans. 
   
  Doubly disenfranchised by race and gender, often deprived of a place within the mostly white mainstream feminist movement, black women are objectified, silenced, and marginalized with devastating consequences, in ways both obvious and subtle, that are rarely acknowledged in our country’s larger discussion about inequality. In This Will Be My Undoing, Jerkins becomes both narrator and subject to expose the social, cultural, and historical story of black female oppression that influences the black community as well as the white, male-dominated world at large.  
   
  Whether she’s writing about Sailor Moon; Rachel Dolezal; the stigma of therapy; her complex relationship with her own physical body; the pain of dating when men say they don’t “see color”; being a black visitor in Russia; the specter of “the fast-tailed girl” and the paradox of black female sexuality; or disabled black women in the context of the “Black Girl Magic” movement, Jerkins is compelling and revelatory.
