Alfred Wegner Takes Continental Drift to the Next Level
"It was a really interesting guy. Born in eighteen eighty in germany got his degree in astronomy but became meteorologist which was still a rather new field at the time. His primary interest was in the northern polar regions. And how air circulated. He participated in four expeditions to greenland and was one of the first meteorologist to adopt the use of weather balloons. However meteorology and expeditions to greenland aren't what alfred wegener is best known for its for his contributions to geology and geophysics. The idea that he is remembered for began innocently enough on christmas day nineteen ten. He was at his friend's house when he began looking at his brand new world. Atlas he made the observation that south america and africa seemed like they fit together like pieces in a puzzle. I should that he was far from the first person to notice this once. Decent maps began being published. In the last part of the sixteenth century people. i observed the same thing. The first person we know of who made the observation was dutch. Cartographer abraham or telling us or telling us created the first modern atlas in fifteen seventy which means he was probably the first person to have the idea because no one before that really had a good grasp of the geography of the continent's william colby wrote in his book on geologic history. Quote abraham are telling us in his work to doris geographic suggested that the americas were torn away from europe and africa by earthquakes and floods and went on to say the vestiges of the rupture. Reveal themselves if someone brings forward a map of the world and considers carefully the coasts of the three continents and quote. Ortelius was far from alone after him. The idea that the continents fit together somehow kept popping up theater. Christoph lilienthal alexander von humboldt antonio snider pellegrini and alfred russel wallace all made the same observation one or two hundred years before moreover there were several other scientists just a decade before who came to a similar conclusion. In fact. there's a good chance that you probably made the same observation. One of the first times that you saw a world map they took the idea to another level however he began by cutting up maps and piecing the landmasses together like a puzzle. He was able to put the continents together into one giant continent that he named panja from the greek words for all and land.

"So now tell me about this guy william bill. You said he was a botanist. What was the big question. He wanted to answer so it's really kind of a simple question. How long can seeds remain viable underground and you know the local farmers had been asking him if we keep weeding a plot of ground. At what point will the weeds stop coming up. And bill just didn't know how long the seeds of weeds could be in the ground and retain the ability to germany. So how did he try to figure that out. Well he got twenty glass bottles and frank to lucy. Fesser of plant biology at michigan state university. He told me that. Bill filled these bottles very carefully and although twenty bottles filled up with a sandy seat mixture and the sandy seat mixture contains twenty one species of plants with fifty seeds per plant. Now these plants were just common weeds and build buried the bottles in a secret spot on what is now. The campus of michigan state university. His plan was that every five years he dig up a bottle and see what seeds could sprout. Okay more math. So if it's one bottle every five years and they're twenty bottles. That means bill expected experiment to last one hundred years right and you know it's gone on longer than that. Beal dug up a bottle every five years until he retired in nineteen ten then. He passed the experiment onto a colleague who pass it onto a colleague and so on and these caretakers made the experiment last longer than ever intended just by stretching out the time between bottles so they went from one bottle every five years to every ten years and now they dig up a bottle every twenty years. I love how this has been passed on so the last bottle dug up was twenty years ago. Well twenty one. It was dug up in the year. Two thousand that's when frank who ski went out with the previous caretaker to the secret location.

Who's running against david duke. At one point he says the only thing. David duke have in common with both good under the sheets. Now i want to be this guy. He stayed in louisiana for college attending grambling state a well known each bcu or historically black college or university. He wound up studying communications even early on. He had his doubts. We had a career day and one of the women who came clearly was unhappy with her work. It's just you know jealous. Starting only make. And i think she said something like sixty thousand dollars a year. It was really low. And i remember excusing myself from the seminar and going to the bathroom and literally throwing 'cause i can't have gone to college and before i can't do it so did i just made up in my mind. I'm just going to be the best at this. And hopefully the money will come later. And i'll be comfortable on that dimensioned. He has succeeded. Interned at the shreveport times louisiana and then moved north a couple years at the detroit news and then to the new york times where for years he was part of the team that produces maps and charts and diagrams. He left briefly to do similar work at national geographic and return to the new york times in two thousand eight as an opinion columnist. He has become a star attraction especially in recent years as his focus on race and racism has intersected with broader interest in these topics but this success came at a cost as he writes in the devil. You know i always felt safe in my majority black hometown and my majority black college town. I never understood how much of a gift that was until i ventured. North and that sense of safety was replaced by stalking. Since of trid lows moved to the north was an echo of what has come to be called the great migration from roughly nineteen fifteen until around nineteen seventy. Some six million. Black southerners moved to destination. Cities like detroit chicago new york and philadelphia. They were fleeing jim. Crow laws and searching for better work in the beginning especially a majority of the migrants were single men. This left behind the south. That was missing many of its men. I was born in nineteen seventy in louisiana at the end of the great migration into a world shaped by vacancy my tiny hometown of lost a full quarter of its population between the nineteen ten and nineteen twenty sentences during the first wave of the great migration. By the time i was born. There were clearly more women than men and the most recent census estimates they remain three women to every two men in town so the original sin here is obviously slavery but can you talk about how significant long-term was the fact that freed slaves weren't given land that they'd been promised they weren't given access to healthcare and education. It seems like that's what ultimately led to the circumstances that made migration to the northern city. So appealing yeah well. There are a lot of impediments at the end of the civil war in years. After a quarter of all black people in america get seriously ill or died little healthcare for a structure. They had collapsed with the civil war. Some of the bigger plantations just as a way of protecting property with treat the enslaved people for certain illnesses they're displaced from all that and the federal government saying to the states. You have to take care of these people in the state of secretary federal government. What are you talking about. We have good white boys coming back slipping. We have to get them into the hospital and so no. One stepped in their freed into starvation. Bitter enemy territory. You don't own anything to go but somehow even in the midst of all that these pockets of survival in prosperity even papa. Where black would say. No one's going to help us.

We're not really sure 'cause she liked to be young. She only aged like about six to seven years. Every census year fantastic anyway. I'd like to know her secret Anyway mary fits you. Valentine was black. She was a light skinned black person and so was taken into the missouri school for the blind as a student. I found it interesting that she was supposedly graduated in nineteen ten however i didn't find any reference from the school of her completion until the very late part of the nineteen teens. Now by nineteen ten. She would've been almost thirty so there's probably several reasons for that because she didn't go through all the While she did go through all the academic stuff but she didn't graduate in what would be considered an academic graduation time period. Meaning about like twenty one years old. Slow not clear why She wasn't counted in the graduating class but mary went on to go after a career in music she was mentored by some of the famous black women. Singers of the time travel all across the country did performance after performance of course mainly in the black community however she did get to perform in several opera houses for white people probably because she was a light skinned black woman. But i'll bet she still had to go through the back door She was not that fonda of traveling and constant on the road. She moved to indianapolis about nineteen seventeen. Nineteen eighteen around in there. She married a guy. By the name of valentine and founded the fitzhugh valentine college of music in indianapolis. They're this was a black community. A strong well is located black community if you will at the time very self supporting lots of black owned businesses and so on. She did everything the first few years of her school being. Everything from the promotion to the teaching to the bookkeeping. You name it as her school grew. She hired more staff people and so on she was supposedly the first black on black college of music in the united states So if you wanted to study music as a black person it as targeted college for music you would have sought out.

Trapping Today
"nineteen ten" Discussed on Trapping Today
"Include animals pulling off a foot to escape a trap breaking teeth while fighting a trap or death or result of exhaustion fighting being caught even as a trapper today. Such mentions in this story. Make me a bit uncomfortable. As hardy states in the text trapping like war is cruel at best while there are cases where some pain is unavoidable. I contend trapping does not have to be cruel and modern methods have addressed. Many of the animal welfare issues encountered in hardy's day in vance's trap design and trapping methods have greatly minimized foot damage swelling and potential pain in animal quote unquote chewing out or footing is very seldom heard of these days. Humane quick kill body grip traps are now common and snares can be designed to kill quickly or restrain the animal without injuring. It used properly. Today's traps generally fall into two categories restraining devices or humane quick kill traps. State and federal agencies have devised best management practices and the same traps. Used by for trappers are commonly used to capture wildlife for relocation as part of species restoration projects in the interest of retaining the city of the original text. Hardy wrote i've opted not to edit any of it therefore you'll read some observations about animals in traps that might be uncomfortable potentially disturbing and shed a negative light on trapping for some folks. I hope that readers were willing terp. Hardee's words in the context in which they were written appreciate their historical value and recognize that they do not reflect modern trapping methods or practices while originally printed in nineteen ten. The story was reprinted as a chapter. And william b krones two thousand five book manley. Hardy eighteen thirty two to nineteen ten the living the life and writing of the main for buyer hunter and naturalist. The book also contains detailed biography of hearty many of his other writings about maine for and big game species and more of his personal experiences. I highly recommend picking up a copy if he can find one only fifteen or so years later. The book has become increasingly difficult to find and is now quite expensive. In fact it's about one hundred bucks if you can find a copy in reprinting the fall for hunt story. I hope to make.

Louis fighting max schmeling about twenty years later in terms of. Wow you know what another myth has been debunked in any skews ably without question in terms of black folks doing this and black folk doing another ignorance stereotype had been taken down so the move this country forward jack. Johnson had to do what he had to do. Any ended in a way that was so obvious that there was no discussion. There was no counterpoint. There was no argument. Any other way didn't say that damn now. Maybe you could use jack johnson an anomaly or something like that no known and maybe maybe maybe but for the right minded people for those who had a brain. It was obvious that you know what in this situation. black folks Interesting interesting so the aftermath of that fight. Riots occurred throughout the country in major cities race riots race. Riots occurred in atlanta cincinnati. Houston new york. St louis. Where you talking about small towns such as keystone have you ever heard of keystone west virginia me. Neither have you heard of males illinois. Have you ever heard of pipe places well race riots happen along with baltimore. Chicago clarksburg west.

Arkansas locked in angeles louisville new orleans norfolk virginia omaha nebraska philadelphia roanoke virginia springfield illinois saint joseph mccarthy and wheeling west virginia. They all saw racial disturbances in terms of the the outcome of that fight if white folks all black folk celebrating after the fight between jeffries and johnson. They were attacked. They were booed allies. They were killed. They were lynched. That type of thing. It's unknown how many people were actually killed and injured during the riot. But it's estimated that between eleven and twenty six people were killed and hundreds more were injured. So yeah we speak about race riots in this country that was a race right right there so that was the impact of that fight. Normally when a heavyweight fight happened that they would show the highlights or they were shielded replays at the movie theater. So you go in to watch a movie and before the movie would be shown you will see a fight. You will see the fight in some instances well because of the violence that has instigated between jeffries in Jack johnson because of the violence that incurred from people just watching that fight mainly white folks. Now my wife wifi folks were going out and hunting white folks. It was the other way around so the it into that. They just didn't show the fight so they stopped showing the fight because of the violence that would incur when people would watch that. So yeah man. That was the fight of the century.

I am the proud founder and ceo of a company called athletic greens. This company was originally formed out of a search for a solution to my own problem. Which was that.

And i ended up basically going on a journey to sort of addressing health problems that led to a clinic in phoenix spending a ton of money doing every blood stool saliva test. You can possibly imagine to have a group very smart people. Tell me that look You just don't appear to be absorbing nutrients properly which was a shock to me. Because up until that time. I thought i'd been doing pretty much everything right as it related to. How approach health nutrition and how it approach supplementation and sort of led me to the drawing board to think through an rethink through everything. I thought i knew about nutrition and health and everything else so long story short. I'm customer number. One of what has become a very popular way of removing the fiction from covering nutritional basis every day without cornerstone product grains which. I'm excited to be a part of and we've of lawrence two thousand nine two thousand ten. The proper film launch early two thousand eleven and since then have gone through fifty directions to continually. Look at how can we deliver what. Wait what we consider to be. Sort of that premium. Bist centralist approach to cover nutritional basis every day. Love it so. Tell me more about why. Your body couldn't absorb nutrients well enough. We'll so i have a background. In health and exercise. I studied sport science degree at open university. Which i dropped out of with two classes to go to stop my first business. I'm an entrepreneur through through and have just kicked this lifelong passion around health and fitness. And i was falling. What's considered the nineteen ten approach which was basically. Look if you do everything right.

And i think. I had a couple of different Forces all collide at once. But at the end of the day i had very few good. Bacteria had a really torn up gi system. And i was eating very significant levels of both protein in a variety of vegetables and supplementing. With what i thought at the time was a great multivitamin and i ended up finding that i was in the eighth to twelfth percentile on a lot of the central bottoms as minerals and even mino- essence. And so when these guys came back from that testing and said hey digital's none of them. Why this right. We have some of these minerals in the twelfth percentile I was really shocked. And just turn out have all sorts of problems traditionally with the gut and the solution from these guys was to say. Look west put you on a basic limitation diet and they gave me at the time one hundred dollars a day customized my blood bike in st nutrition regime. And like i said. I saw two vessels taking fifty horse stalls a day and i just realized it must be a better way so this way back then led me on this journey to seek out experts on. I never claimed to be the sort of exit decide. Look at what good nutrition really was and start to understand things like what got health what is by ability y generally do you wanna get nutrition nutrients as much as possible from food. What food quality is some of these other dynamics at the lead me on a journey that led to us creding athletic rim. Yeah i mean you believe that you can achieve your best self. without nurturing. Your body with writing attrition right so in your opinion then after you've talked to all those experts what the right nutrition look like for me. I think for every human. There's a couple of different pieces. And i think we all want to cover off most basic nutrient basis an never put out any Around sort of supplementation being anything other than a path towards optimization i think food is i and you should always focus on food but in terms of what is great nutrition. My general framework is pretty simple. I think you want to eat to maintain your blood sugar levels and a healthy range. I think you want to eat a diet that for you does not lead to any sort of dynamic where you're very inflammatory environment. And i think you want to eat a sort of respite of metros in total calories that match your lifestyle and where that in line you wanna make sure. You're focused on food quality. Health quality pieces Seems to be of looked so often.

I mean we've all had to become Amateur epidemiologists i suppose and familiarize ourselves with these terms that normally you would expect us to be in in some in some journal article somewhere. Ben zimmer is a linguist and language columnist for the wall street journal. He says a lot of the words that came up fresh too. Many people in twenty twenty head existed in scholarly literature for decades. So for instance contact tracing is actually attested from nineteen ten There's there's an example from australian medical journal talking about School epidemics back in ten in. They're talking about contact. Tracing as something that the school nurse would need to do to figure out you know who had been infected and the term quarantine which derives from a renaissance era italian word. Meaning a forty day. Waiting period for ships arriving from plague-stricken ports dates back centuries. But it took on new life during the pandemic. everybody's talking about quarantining and then and then it starts generating all sorts of new forms as well. You know you can drink your quarantine e you can grow corn beard and on and on and on as people got creative by taking taking these words and Forming innovative new expressions. Out of them zimmer. Also chairs the new words committee for the american dialect society at a recent virtual meeting.

Can you help us with that. Yeah for sure. I'd love to And i guess to connect with all the listeners here right. I want to have everyone kind of envisioned When they go and purchase seats every spring Kind of spreading out other seed catalogs on their counter and perusing through all the pages which i know is one of the most delightful thing sides during the time to do So you're looking to see cadillacs and you're trying to decide what to grow and you might be Allured by the beautiful pictures of the description. You might have a friend that told you that this variety is great and it's delicious and performs well But when when. I kind of think of that idea. Compared with today's tech world where we're so connected in it's kind of an outdated model with so many other things we can go on and look at reviews of things before we buy them whether it be a car child seat You know bicycle or even visiting a restaurant. And with the there's really not the equivalent of that and so see bling dot com. We're really aiming to kind of connect the dots between all the different seed industry stakeholders so gardeners and farmers and seed see breeders and chefs and bring them together on our platform to help Kinda create a more collaborative and resilient seat system that helps people so at the highest level And we're not quite there yet We're we're a start up business but Gardeners and farmers can go onto our sites and search for varieties Maybe say they wanna find a tomato that performs well by then by by growing and they can search for tomatoes and find reviews for tomatoes from other people that That that have grown tomatoes by them. And so it's like you said it's a big citizen science project and you just welcome everyone to the table to participate so when new way in this again newish overall bigger project of seed linked dot com one new way. People can participate right now is that they can order some of these curated seed collections. Like the one you have put together of some favorite lettuces and And so that's a little different from like even if i went and bought a lettuce assortment at a regular seed catalog. It's a little bit different. So let's say what is this seed collection aspect of seed linked. Yeah definitely it. It was We created it kind of in response to this past spring. A covid nineteen ten you know. Oh boy yeah. I know that. In your world margaret. There's there's just so many people that were excited about gardening for the first time wanting to buy seed seed companies where seeing sales that were two or three hundred percent higher than they're usually than there used to and We saw this happening at sea. And we're like. How can we plug into this excitement about gardening and Capture all these new gardeners and help them along the way be successful with growing things for the first time and seed. Collections was born out of that that interest and What the idea is is that we partnered with some really awesome food system change makers and they curated a collection of of varieties together. And so what i did is i carry the three of my favorite lettuce varieties. I love growing in my backyard garden and folks can go on and by that collection but beyond just getting the lettuce seeds they get a really guided. Learning experience on the theory as

1910 Edinburgh Missionary Conference
"In June of Nineteen Ten World Missionary Conference took place in. Edinburgh Scotland. This conference met for a total of ten days. It was international it was ecumenical. About twelve hundred delegates from mostly Europe and America and representing all sorts of Protestant denominations came together to spend these days talking about the need for world missions world missions can look like. In the beginnings then of the twentieth century, you can trace the roots of the World Council of Churches Actually. Back, to the Edinburgh Missionary Conference. The World Council of Churches was established in one, thousand, nine, hundred, forty eight, and you could pull on the threads of various groups that led up to it and you'd be taken right back to Edinburgh Missionary Conference. It was a very pivotal moment in the twentieth century. So let's take a look at five aspects of the Edinburgh Missionary Conference. I as we've mentioned, it was ecumenical. Now at that time, it was predominantly Protestant when we're talking about ecumenical there were no Roman Catholics present. There were no Greek Orthodox president there were only Protestant denominations present. But as a term ecumenical continued to expand and expand and broaden in broaden. So. I you talk about within Protestant denominations then accu medical would come to mean Protestant and Catholic and Jewish. Then you would add Islam then you would add eastern religions today the word ecumenical is very broad in very elastic. Well. The second thing about the end borough missionary conference is related to that question of the Ecumenical Movement in that is the question of inclusive ism or pluralism. Then Borough Missionary Conference consisted of eight major reports, and one of them was on this topic the missionary message in relation to the Non Christian world and they began raising questions is Jesus Christ the only way Is the Bible, the true and final. Authority is Christianity that is biblically faithful Christianity is that the only true religion and so you can begin to see how those questions could be answered in the wrong way and lead to very deleterious negative consequences. Well, that's the question of inclusive ISM and pluralism. A third aspect of the Edinburgh missionary conferences that it did increase attention to missions. The nineteenth century, the eighteen hundreds was a great century of modern missions. It was the century of William Carey missionary. Expansion. Well, the twentieth witnessed even greater missionary activity, and during the Twentieth Century missionary activity was carried on even during and despite of world wars travel got much easier and so missions expansion increase. So the twentieth century was a great century of modern missions. One aspect of this in particular is our fourth thing and that is the impact on Africa. Of course, leading into nineteen hundred Africa was dominated by Islam and by the folk religions that were across the continent. But after this conference, significant attention was given to Africa and there was this major push missions. into the continent of Africa one book chronicling this was published in one, thousand, nine, hundred, thousand, five, it was entitled Africa, an Open Door, and so the Edinburgh Missionary Conference inspired and encouraged mission endeavors. In Africa we'll fifthly the Edinburgh conference served to remind the delegates and the constituencies they represented of the great need of the big world that we live in in one, thousand, nine, hundred, ten, the world's population was one point five, billion people. In June, of twenty, twenty. The world population is estimated at seven point seven billion. It's the big world and that's a big need.

The Siamese political party rots Adine, or the People's Party overthrew the government of King Rama, the seventh, ending seven Hundred Years of absolute monarchy under the kings of Yom. The bloodless coup resulted in the introduction of democracy, the first constitution of Thailand. Since seventeen, eighty, two the kingdom. Or Modern Day Thailand have been ruled by the Chakri Dynasty beginning with Rama, the I who founded the capital city Bangkok. Throughout the nineteenth century, much of Southeast Asia was colonized by the British. French and Dutch crm was never subjected to colonial rule. But Rama the fifth who reigned from eighteen, sixty, eight to nineteen, ten, set out to modernize the kingdom. He introduced social and governmental reforms that were based on western models. The old ruling families rejected his reforms, but from the mid eighteen eighty s to the early nineteen hundreds. Rama, the fifth overhauled the administration established military conscription, abolished slavery and made other major changes in the country. The king was committed to modernisation. He was also committed to maintaining Thai traditions and independence. He instituted all these reforms under the guise that they would save from the threat of Western colonialism. Civilized to colonial powers than it would supposedly avoid Western invasion. Rama the Fifth Son and successor Rama the sixth also worked to modernize the M and welcomed the adoption of some European ideals. His reforms upset members of the aristocracy and nobility as well as groups of progressives and radicals. In nineteen twelve, a group of military officers conspired to overthrow the king, but the plot failed. There is debate over the main causes of the nineteen thirty two revolution, but the rise of western educated commoner elites who become dissatisfied with politics in CSM played a significant role in the event. Rama the seventh ascended the throne in nineteen, twenty, five, He created the Supreme Council of state made up of senior princes who had served in previous administrations. They quickly let go of commerce who had been appointed in the civil service and military. During Rama the seventh rule, returning Western educated students grew disillusioned with the status quo. In Nineteen, twenty, seven, a small group of military and civilian students gathered in periods with the. Founding Party to bring change to see 'em. This group of seven people call themselves the promoters and they decided to stage a coup to end absolute monarchy in the country. To achieve this goal, they formed the canal rot. Sedan or People's Party. The promoters worked on gathering supporters. Meanwhile seamless facing economic problems, the Great Depression made it to the country by nineteen thirty. The value of rice see'ums major export fell drastically land values also fell, so the government had to make a bunch of budget cuts.

Rama the seventh was playing golf in the south of Seattle. When he got news of the coup, he agreed to the demands for a new constitutional system, and by December of that year he had promulgated a new Constitution A State Council and National Assembly established, but conflict between the CANARSIE DON and the king continued. A couple of years after the Revolution Rama the seventh left for England, and in nineteen, thirty five, he abdicated the throne, spending the rest of his life in England.

Re-Dressed: Black Dandyism: a Cultural History, an interview with Monica L. Miller
"We turn our attention to the Harlem Renaissance very exciting time and place in one, thousand, nine, hundred, thousand New York and a place in which black Danny's played in especially pivotal role within black modernism and the making of the so-called quote unquote, new, Negro, where other scholars have argued that black dandyism during this period stood in direct opposition to black modernism. And what ways do you actually think it defined it? It's something that you coin as a freedom dream. Yeah I mean I. Talk About kind of Dan Black Dandyism and And Freedom James as different ways, in which the the freedom dream manifest right I think over time, and over historical time I mean. The renaissance is an amazing period in that regard. As I mentioned before it's the first time large numbers of black moved to urban areas and and are able to establish really large scale, black communities, and what that means is people had been working in their home communities in small ways, some small and large ways for striving to do better striving for more right in various ways, striving to be different right to. To not be defined by the ways in which blackness have been defined for them during slavery and its aftermath reconstruction. I mean it's as constant struggle for black people to get out from under in some ways the waste black people are being represented the ways in which they're being treated by various institutions. Right, it's it's always about moving toward the ability to self define. And it becomes Harlem in the nineteen tens. Twenties Early Nineteen Thirties becomes this place where that for the first time for many People Harlem in Chicago and Boston and other places in Detroit Washington DC around the same time become these places when it seems possible for the first time, it seems possible because let people are gathered in community large community, in which all kinds of ideas about choice about different kinds of choices about how are we going to be black? However, we going to be black women. However, we in what how do we think about? About blackness in relationships sexuality, how do we WANNA do like? How do we WANNA? Do any of this? What about black art? What does that mean right artists, or are we black artists, right? What kind of responsibilities do we have to our communities? What kind of responsibilities do we have to ourselves? Can we actually afford to have responsibility to? These are all kinds of questions that people were able to ask individually, and with each other for the first time, so the dandyism comes into this kind of fascinating way, because on the one hand. Hand there there are some actors right in the renaissance. Who who want to there's this constant riffing that goes on in American culture that has to do with black representation in black people, so on the one hand black dandies come in as a critique of Minstrelsy, right. They're like. Oh, you think a black dandy. Is that? Let me show you right. The another way of Black Dandy can be right. I can have this fancy clothing I can have this education I can have this kind of like social life. I can have all of this, let. Let me. Show you that right, so there's one that's one version of it. Then there's a divorce version of it who is completely much more interested although it slide sometimes in respectability culture, it's I am going to respect my people and I'm going to be respected by majority culture, and this is the way that I'm going to represent myself right and and my aspiration. It's not just about pleasing you majority culture, but it's also about pleasing myself and understanding that I have a right to this. That's not just about a response to you. Then there are other kinds of people who are just you know really exuberant about the ways in which blackness maternity can go like. It's a huge time of experimentation again one of these moments of social upheaval, or in which we think about the jazz, ages and swaying like renaissance in Jazz. Age Are Co terminal. WHICH PEOPLE ARE EXPERIMENTING WITH GENDER? They're experimenting with sexuality. This is a period in which immigration to the US is experimenting with with class boundaries right so so there's this way which all of these things come together to create multiple kinds of black dandies who are in some ways conversation with each other and in conversation with both black culture right as well as majority culture, asking the question. What does a modern black person look like? What can that person embody? How is that person's embodied? And what relationship does clothing play to that? As again is kind of social semiotics that is constantly capable of being read and sending out messages

A CLOSE SHAVE, EDUCATED AGNOSTIC, & ANOTHER PRODIGAL STORY
"And now the original stories a close shave educated agnostic and another prodigal story a close shave the year eighteen ninety witnessed my advent as the youngest five sons to a fine Christian mother and a hard working blacksmith father at the age of Eight. My father used to send me after his Pale of beer and it was by lapping the foam off the beer that I I discovered that the taste was much to my liking. By the time I was fourteen. At which time I quit school. I had found that wine in hard cider were also pleasing to my palate. The next six years I spent learning the art of Barberini and by the end of this period I had become both a proficient barber and in earnest drinker during the next ten or twelve years. I was able to acquire several lucrative shops some with pool rooms and restaurants attached. It seemed quite impossible however for me to stand prosperity so I would drink myself out of one situation get myself together a bit develop another and then repeat the performance. The time came when I could no longer refinance myself so I began to float about the country getting a job here and there's I could but invariably got fired in a short time because of my on reliability my marriage which occurred in nineteen ten about the time I started my successful ownership of shops resulted in our having a family of ten children who were usually desperately in need because I used my slender income for boos instead of providing for them I finally secured a job in a shop in the town of about thousand five hundred people where I live now. My reputation for drinking soon became more or less generally known about this time. Deacon and the pastor of one of the local churches used to come in the shop for their work and were constantly inviting me to church and Bible classes which invitations irritated me very much I earnestly wish they would mind their own business. I finally did accept one or two invitations to social functions at the home of one of these men and was received so cordially that the barrier between us was partially lowered. I DID NOT STOP DRINKING. However my feeling toward these men was kindly. They at last persuaded me to go to a nearby town to have a talk with the doctor who had had a great deal of experience with this type of trouble. I listened to the man for two hours and although my mind was quite foggy I retained a good deal of what he said. I feel that the combined effort of these three Christian gentlemen made it possible for me to have a vital spiritual experience. This occurred in March nineteen thirty seven for about six years previous to this time. I was never at any time. Completely free from the influence of liquor since that time I have regained the love of my family and the respect of the community and can truthfully say that the past two years have been the happiest of my life. I have busied myself a great deal during these two years in helping others. Who were afflicted as I was and the combined efforts of the Deacon the pastor and myself have resulted in nine other men finding a way out of difficulties which were identical with mine. I feel this activity has played an important part in my mastery of this. Most habit educated agnostic. Why go into the drinking pattern? That is so much the same with all of us three times. I had left the hospital with hope that I was saying goodbye forever and here I was again the first day there. I told the kindly doctor that I was thoroughly hopeless case and would probably continue to return as long as I could beg borrow or steal the money to get in on the second day. He told me that he knew of something. That would keep me awfully for life. I laughed at him. Yes indeed I would do anything. Take anything that would produce such results. But there wasn't anything on the third day a man came to talk with me. He was an alcoholic who had stopped. He talked about alcoholism in a spiritual way of life. I was deeply impressed by his seriousness. But nothing that he said made sense to me. He spoke about God and a power greater than oneself. I remember being very careful not to say anything that might shake his faith in whatever it was he believed. I was deeply grateful to him for taking the trouble to talk with me but what he had was not for me. I thought much about religion and had come to rather definite conclusions. There was no god. The universe was an inexplicable phenomenon. In spite of my sorry state and outlook there were many beautiful things in life but no beauty. There were truths discoverable about life. But no truth. There were people who were good kind considerate. But no such thing as goodness I had read rather extensively but when people began to talk in such ultimate I was lost I could find in life no eternal purpose nor anything that might be labeled Divine Guidance War Cruelty Stupidity Poverty and greed were not and could not be the product of purposeful creation. The whole thing's simply didn't make sense about this. I felt no deep emotion. I had struggled with the problem during late adolescence but had long since ceased to give it anxious thought many people believe in God of some sort and worship him in various ways that was excellent. I thought it nice that so many people poor misguided souls could find so simple a solution to their problems. If this world proved to hopelessly disillusioning they could always seek comfort in a more pleasant existence. Promised in a world to come. Where wrongs will be righted and justice tempered with tender mercy would prevail but none of that was for me. I had enough courage and intellectual honesty to face life as I saw it without recourse to a self directed deity. The next day another man visited me he too had been an alcoholic and stopped drinking. He pointed out that I found myself. Unable to handle my liquor by myself. He had been in the same position yet. He hadn't had a drink in over three years. He told me of men who had found sobriety through the recognition of some power beyond themselves. If I cared to was to consider myself invited to gathering the following Tuesday where I would meet other alcoholics who had stopped with the knowledge. I now have it hard for me. To recall how screwy the whole thing sounded the blind leading the blind a union of drunks all banded together and some kind of spiritual belief. What could be more idiotic but these men were sober nuts? I returned to my despairing wife with his incoherent story of a bunch of drunks who had found a cure for their alcoholism through some kind of spiritual exercise. And who held regular meetings? Where as far as I could figure out. They went through some kind of spiritual exercise. She was very nearly convinced that my mental balance had now been completely improbably permanently destroyed. The only rational support I could find for giving it. A try was that it was vouched for by the kindly doctor whom she had met on several occasions at the hospital that and the fact that nothing else worked. May I stop at this point and address a few sentences direct to agnostic or atheist? Alcoholics you can't take less stock in the references made to God in this book then I would have if this book had been available to me at that time to you. Those references have no meaning. They have simply used a name that people give to a fond delusion all your life except possibly in early childhood when you conceived of an enormous figure with a flowing white beard somewhere beyond the clouds it has meant nothing you have now too much intelligence and honesty to allow of such delusions. Even if you could you are too proud to affirm a belief. Now that you are in desperate trouble that you denied when things were rosy or you might possibly persuade yourself to believe in some creative force or Algebraic ex but what earthly goodwood an ex be in solving such a problem as you face and even admitting from your knowledge of psychology it is possible you might acquire such delusions. How could you possibly believe in them if you recognize them as delusions? Some such thinking must have been going on your mind as you have. Weighed these incredible experiences against your own inability to cope with the problem. That is gradually destroying your personality.
