  On the Horrors of the Slave Trade

  British abolitionist William Wilberforce considered the slave trade to be a crime for which all his countrymen would have to answer. In a society that allowed for such inhumanity to persist, there were no innocent bystanders. After presenting the key argument of “On the Horrors of the Slave Trade,” he stated, “the nature and all the circumstances of this trade are now laid open to us; we can no longer plead ignorance.” This strong sense of moral responsibility has the power to inspire Christians today who would otherwise turn a blind eye to the ongoing evils in the world .

  Blue - A History of Postpartum...

  New motherhood is often seen as a joyful moment in a woman's life; for some women, it is also their lowest moment. For much of the twentieth century, popular and medical voices blamed women who had emotional and mental distress after childbirth for their own suffering. By the end of the century, though, women with postpartum mental illnesses sought to take charge of this narrative. In Blue: A History of Postpartum Depression in America, Rachel Louise Moran explores the history of the naming and mainstreaming of postpartum depression. Coalitions of maverick psychiatrists, psychologists, and women who themselves had survived substantial postpartum distress fought to legitimize and normalize women's experiences. They argued that postpartum depression is an objective and real illness and fought to avoid it being politicized alongside other fraught medical and political battles over women's health. 
   
   
   
  Based on insightful oral histories and in-depth archival research, Blue reveals a secret history of American motherhood, women's political activism, and the rise of postpartum depression advocacy amid an often-censorious conservative culture. By breaking new ground with the first book-length history of postpartum mental illness in the twentieth century, Moran brings mothers' battles with postpartum depression out of the shadows and into the light.

  Neville Goddard (February 19, 1905 – October 1, 1972) was born in St. Michael, Barbados, and came to the US in 1922 to study drama and dance. While touring with his dance company in England he developed an interest in metaphysics. After his return to New York he gave up the entertainment industry to devote his full attention to the study of spiritual and mystical matters. While living in Los Angeles in the 1950s, he gave a series of talks on television and radio. In his lectures and books Neville dealt with what he called "The Law" and "The Promise," which relate to the method of creating one's physical reality through imagining. The following recording is from a 1968 lecture.
