Slave Narratives: A first-person narrative pertaining to the history of slavery in the United States (often referred to as the WPA Slave Narrative Collection) is a massive compilation of histories by former slaves undertaken by the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration. The body of work had its beginning in the second year of the Federal Writers' Project … in 1936…” Between 1936- 1938, the project, in part, “recorded interviews with ex-slaves...” The body of work created by the project now resides in the Library of Congress in Washington DC.

February is Black History Month

February is Black History Month. The annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history can trace its origins to 1926, when a black scholar named Carter G. Woodson launched a week-long campaign to focus national attention on the contributions of black people on American society. Submitted photo

The Women Who Rode Miles on Horseback to Deliver Library Books

The Women Who Rode Miles on Horseback to Deliver Library Books - Librarians are amazing. BY ANIKA BURGESS AUGUST 31, 2017

I was looking for Erin Snell in the pictures… 

FTA: They were known as the “book women.” They would saddle up, usually at dawn, to pick their way along snowy hillsides and through muddy creeks with a simple goal: to deliver reading material to Kentucky’s isolated mountain communities.

The Pack Horse Library initiative was part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration (WPA), created to help lift America out of the Great Depression, during which, by 1933, unemployment had risen to 40 percent in Appalachia. Roving horseback libraries weren’t entirely new to Kentucky, but this initiative was an opportunity to boost both employment and literacy at the same time.

[…]

Old magazines and newspapers were cut and pasted into scrapbooks with particular themes—recipes, for example, or crafts. One such scrapbook, which still is held today at the FDR Presidential Library & Museum in Hyde Park, New York, contains recipes pasted into a notebook with the following introduction: “Cook books are popular. Anything to do with canning or preserving is welcomed.”

VOCAL TRANCE: Aurosonic & Susana - Weather The Storm (Extended Intro Mix...

#amwriting Listening to all Trance. #Trance

Aurosonic & Susana - Weather The Storm:

https://www.facebook.com/susanavocalist 

As far as my eyes can see

The snow stretches endlessly

The road we once paved now disappeared

Revealing my deepest fears

Winter never felt so lonely

It's cold as ice this time around

Loneliness has found its way

Without you by my side

Silence is here to stay

But I know that seasons change

I know we'll see another day

Just have to wait it out

And find ourselves a safe place in the storm

I know the sun will rise

We'll get to hold each other tight

Just have to trust that only love

Can weather the storm

Weather the storm [2x]

Things look different in the light of the morning sun

I feel the promise of a brand new dawn

The life we once knew is a dream that's so far away

But we can make it to a brighter day

Winter never felt so lonely

It's cold as ice this time around

Loneliness has found its way

Without you by my side

Silence is here to stay

But I know that seasons change

I know we'll see another day

Just have to wait it out

And find ourselves a safe place in the storm

I know the sun will rise

We'll get to hold each other tight

Just have to trust that only love

Can weather the storm

Weather the storm [3x]

But I know that seasons change

I know we'll see another day

Just have to wait it out

And find ourselves a safe place in the storm

I know the sun will rise

We'll get to hold each other tight

Just have to trust that only love

Can weather the storm

Weather the storm [2x]

The storm [2x]

But I know that seasons change

I know we'll see another day

Just have to wait it out

And find ourselves a safe place in the storm

I know the sun will rise

We'll get to hold each other tight

Just have to trust that only love

Can weather the storm

DamNation | The Problem with Hydropower

Tuesday, January 11, 2022: “DamNation” | The Problem with Hydropower - I watched at a documentary today about the evolution of our thinking about building dams for flood control and navigation purposes. In recent years much of our thinking has evolved to better understand that the benefit of the dams does not outweigh the damage to the environment. According to an introduction to the documentary, “This film explores the evolution of our national attitude from pride in big dams as engineering wonders to the growing awareness that our own future is bound to the life and health of wild rivers.

Produced by Matt Stoecker & Travis Rummel. Directed by Ben Knight & Travis Rummel

Remembering Those Who are Away:

Remembering Those Who are Away - Kevin Dayhoff, 24Dec2021: It is a tradition to leave a light in the window to remember folks who are away from home or have died. To remember the folks who have gone before us and helped pave the way for the quality of life and freedoms we enjoy today. We want them to know that they are missed, and we want to light the way for their memories and their soul to visit during the holidays.

The light comes with a silent prayer for their safe return and that someone has remained behind to tend to the home fires and wait for their return – to light the way until we meet again.

For many the Christmas season is tough enough. The season has become a vampire squid that has wrapped itself around our neck, annexed Thanksgiving and Halloween and turned November and December into an endurance contest of relentless responsibilities, expectations, and shallow end-of-the-year celebrations.

For whatever reason, contemporary American society seems to have turned a deaf ear and a blind eye to the grieving process and shoved it into a dark corner. Changes in the circumstances of our life are a natural part of our existence.

The holidays are a busy time, but never too busy to stop and ponder the benefits of all the blessings we enjoy as a result of a loved-one, friend, colleague, brother or sister in arms, or a family member that has left our side and greatly missed.  

I often stress that folks who deal with death and tragedy on the job or have suffered a loss in their personal life - find a friend and ‘keep talking about it.’
