  The dramatic story of one of the most violent episodes of the civil rights movement and its role in the ongoing reckoning with racial injustice in the United States. 
   
   
   
  On Tuesday, June 9, 1964, police attacked more than 600 Black men, women, and children inside First African Baptist Church (Tuscaloosa, Alabama), where Reverend Martin Luther King had launched the Tuscaloosa campaign for integration three months earlier. As the group gathered to march, they faced over seventy law enforcement officers and hundreds more deputized white citizens and Klansmen eager to end their protests for good. Police smashed the historic church's stained-glass windows with water hoses and fired rounds of tear gas inside. As demonstrators streamed from the church, many choking and soaked, they beat them with nightsticks, cattle prods, and axe handles, arrested nearly a hundred, and sent over thirty to the hospital. Here this event is recounted through the eyes of locals—a charismatic Black preacher trained by Rev. King, an aging police chief, the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, and Black women who were the backbone of the protests. 
   
   
   
  In Bloody Tuesday, John Giggie powerfully recovers one of the last great untold stories of the civil rights movement and its role in the reckoning with America's ongoing struggle for racial justice.

  "Modern Man in Search of a Soul" by Carl Gustav Jung is a seminal work that delves into the complexities of the human psyche and the challenges faced by individuals in the modern world. Jung, one of the most influential figures in the field of psychology, explores various aspects of the human experience, including dreams, religion, art, and the unconscious mind.  In this insightful book, Jung argues that modern society has led to a fragmentation of the human psyche, resulting in feelings of disconnection and alienation. He examines the impact of cultural and societal forces on the individual, as well as the importance of introspection and self-discovery in achieving wholeness and fulfillment.  Drawing on his extensive knowledge of mythology, philosophy, and anthropology, Jung offers profound insights into the nature of the soul and its journey towards individuation. He explores the role of symbolism and archetypes in the unconscious, shedding light on the deeper layers of the human psyche.  Through a series of essays and lectures, Jung invites readers to embark on a journey of self-exploration and inner transformation. He challenges conventional wisdom and offers alternative perspectives on issues such as spirituality, creativity, and the quest for meaning.  "Modern Man in Search of a Soul" is a thought-provoking and enlightening exploration of the human condition, offering valuable insights for individuals seeking to navigate the complexities of modern life and find deeper meaning and purpose in their existence.

  Jesus and the Abolitionists -...

  Isn't anarchy just chaos? How could it possibly relate to Christianity? 
  Countless people, including (and sometimes especially) those from religious backgrounds, are exploring radical ideas. The pandemic, the Black liberation movement, climate disaster--all these concerns are leading us to ask, "Does our system actually work? Is capitalism ethical? Is this the only way to build a society?" 
  Questions like these led author and pastor Terry Stokes to the political philosophy of anarchy. Now, we all have a scary picture in our minds about anarchy: that it calls for chaos, violence, and disorder. But anarchy actually calls for the end of rulership, not violence in the streets. Anarchy seeks to empower small communities of people to take care of their own needs at the local level, thereby making the state obsolete. It's all about constructing societies in which people are placed above profit and systems are built on ethics of justice and equality. To Stokes, that sounded a whole lot like the building blocks of Christian faith. 
  In Jesus and the Abolitionists, Stokes introduces readers to the ancient practice of anarchy and how it intersects with Christian beliefs and values. We see how beliefs about God, humanity, divine-human interaction, the Bible, and more can be illuminated and faithfully reformulated through an anarchist lens. This view, which Stokes calls anarchist Christianity, seeks to abolish tyrannical systems that do not recognize the changing values of our times and that disempower the people. Stokes's vision of an anarchist Christian future charts a caring theology and practice of living, one based in our voluntary cooperation, the goodness of all people, and faith in God. We can build an ethical world--one built on structures of care--and anarchy might just be the unlikely key.
