The 1619 Project podcast:

In August of 1619, a ship carrying more than 20 enslaved Africans arrived in the English colony of Virginia. America was not yet America, but this was the moment it began. No aspect of the country that would be formed here has been untouched by the 250 years of slavery that followed. On the 400th anniversary of this fateful moment, it is time to tell the story. “1619” is a New York Times audio series hosted by Nikole Hannah-Jones.

Click here (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1619/id1476928106) to listen to the following podcasts online.

Episode 1: The Fight for a True Democracy. America was founded on the ideal of democracy. Black people fought to make it one. This episode includes scenes of graphic violence.

Episode 2: The Economy That Slavery Built. The institution of slavery turned a poor, fledgling nation into a financial powerhouse, and the cotton plantation was America’s first big business. Behind the system, and built into it, was the whip. On today’s episode: Matthew Desmond, a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine and the author of “Evicted,” and Jesmyn Ward, the author of “Sing, Unburied, Sing.”

Episode 3: The Birth of American Music. Black music, forged in captivity, became the sound of complete artistic freedom. It also became the sound of America. On today’s episode: Wesley Morris, a critic-at-large for The New York Times.

Episode 4: How the Bad Blood Started. Black Americans were denied access to doctors and hospitals for decades. From the shadows of this exclusion, they pushed to create the nation’s first federal health care programs. On today’s episode: Jeneen Interlandi, a member of The New York Times’s editorial board and a writer for The Times Magazine, and Yaa Gyasi, the author of “Homegoing.”

Episode 5: The Land of Our Fathers, Part 1. More than a century and a half after the promise of 40 acres and a mule, the story of black land ownership in America remains one of loss and dispossession. June and Angie Provost, who trace their family line to the enslaved workers on Louisiana’s sugar-cane plantations, know this story well. On today’s episode: The Provosts spoke with Adizah Eghan and Annie Brown, producers for “1619.”

Episode 5: The Land of Our Fathers, Part 2. The Provosts, a family of sugar-cane farmers in Louisiana, had worked the same land for generations. When it became harder and harder to keep hold of that land, June Provost and his wife, Angie, didn’t know why — and then a phone call changed their understanding of everything. In the finale of “1619,” we hear the rest of June and Angie’s story, and its echoes in a past case that led to the largest civil rights settlement in American history. On today’s episode: June and Angie Provost; Adizah Eghan and Annie Brown, producers for “1619”; and Khalil Gibran Muhammad, a professor of history, race and public policy at Harvard University and the author of “The Condemnation of Blackness.”

Ruth Ellis at a birthday party. SARAH UHLE

Ruth Ellis was one of the oldest openly gay black women in the world when she died at 101 years old in 2000. She was born in 1899, 36 years after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect, and 15 years before the First World War started.

This was a time when our country was hostile to women, black people, and gay people. Ellis just happened to be all three.

She moved to Detroit in 1937 with her partner Ceciline “Babe” Franklin. The couple wanted to make things better for other LGBTQ people, so they used their home as a safe space for black gay people.

Kofi Adoma, a longtime friend of Ellis, says Ellis inspired many black LGBTQ people to be themselves.

“If she can do it, and be happy and live a good life, why not us,” Adoma said.

Adoma and Ellis instantly bonded over being black lesbians with a passion for classical music and activism.

Adoma says Ellis went her way to help LGBTQ youth, especially the ones who were black.

“Because often times when these youth come out to say their parents, their relatives and loved ones the family might not necessarily be accepting and in fact might be rejecting,” she said.

A University of Chicago study estimates that up to 40 percent of youth experiencing homelessness are from the LGBTQ community.

That’s why Adoma co-founded the Ruth Ellis Center in Highland Park. Before it opened, there weren’t many organizations to keep those young people safe. Adoma says LGBTQ teens are a very vulnerable group of people.

“That’s what we try to teach some of the kids at the Ruth Ellis Center also. Be who you are, love yourself, respect yourself, and at the same time realize that you still live in a society that has yet to embrace our existence unfortunately,” she said.

The Center first opened in 1999 on the border of Detroit and Highland Park in a small building next to strip club. It was across from Palmer Park, where a lot of gay youth hung out and where some fell into sex work, or found themselves in unsafe situations. The center has since moved to a bigger building down the street in Highland Park.

I’sha Schultz-Spradlin, the Community Engagement Manager at the Ruth Ellis Center, says the center’s mission of caring for LGBTQ youth inspired her to leave her home on the East Coast.

“I moved from Pennsylvania all the way to Detroit to work for this organization because there is no organization doing the work that they do,” Schultz-Spradlin said.

That work includes housing and feeding homeless LGBTQ youth, and connecting those same young people with jobs and health services.

Places designed to help LGBTQ people, let alone LGBTQ people of color, didn’t exist for most of Ellis’ life. In fact, a lot of the women who looked up to Ruth didn’t know any other elderly lesbians.

Sarah Uhle, a longtime friend of Ellis, says she looks at Ellis as a grandmother substitute.

“All of my grandparents died relatively young, so I looked at Ruth like the grandmother I wanted to have in my life,” Uhle said.

Uhle and Ellis often went to music festivals and concerts together, most notably the Annual Michigan Womyn’s Music festival, which has since ended.

“She was even better than a natural grandmother because she was a lesbian, so that was another way we could bond,” she said.

Uhle, who is a lesbian, met Ellis at a self-defense class when she was living in Detroit. Uhle was in her 30’s and Ellis was in her 80’s.

Uhle is older now, and living in East Lansing. She sits on her friend’s daybed flipping through pictures of Ellis.

“This is a fairly famous one of Ruth at her printing press. And this is Ruth and Kofi. Kofi always played her violin for Ruth at a birthday party,” she said.

Uhle and Adoma both say Ellis was happy when she found out they’d name the center after her.

Schultz-Spradlin thinks Ellis would be overwhelmed to see it now. After all, helping other LGBTQ people live long and happy lives is all Ellis ever wanted.

Great High Mountain (from the OST of "Cold Mountain", 2003) -- Jack White

Once I stood at the foot of a great high mountain
That I wanted so much to climb
And on top of this mountain was a beautiful fountain
That flows with the water of life

I fell down on my knees at the foot of this mountain
I cried, "O Lord what must I do?
I want to climb this mountain, I want to drink from this fountain
That flows so clear in my view"

Then I heard a sweet voice from the top of this mountain
Saying, "Child put your hand in mine"
I started climbing slowly, "Watch your step at the edges
And take one step at a time"

I started climbing upward taking one step at a time
The higher I got the harder I climbed

I'm still climbing upward and my journey's almost ended
I'm nearing the top and you ought to see the view
Oh the water flows freely, there's enough to make you free
So friend if you're thirsty climb this mountain with me

From one of CimaFunk’s YouTube page: “Caliente” unites the traditional tumbao and clave from Cuba with New Orleans brass and classic funk grooves, all rooted in African origins. Caliente is an experiment of shared cultures and origins. Caliente was recorded in New Orleans and first performed by the artists in Cuba in January 2020 at the Getting Funky in Havana Music Festival, described as: “A week full of high emotions, amazing music and a constant reminder that Havana and New Orleans are, in fact connected by history that goes back to centuries.”

3 weeks ago I had to put Scout to sleep
Scout had dementia
phisically she was in excellent health
I picked her up 11 yrs ago nearly to the day
A rescue pitty at 12 weeks
I loved her more than anything or anyone in this world
If you look in my photos,you will see scout

Let me tell you a story
About an old friend of mine
Somebody left her in a shopping cart
In a parking lot for us to find
Just a fuzzy black pup
She was hungry and feeling alone
We put her in the back seat
Told her we were taking her home
Run, Maggie, run
With the heart of a rebel child
Oh, run, Maggie, run
Be just as free as you are wild
A few kids later
We moved out on the farm
And she followed those kids around
Yeah, she kept them safe from harm
And she loved to chase squirrels
And playing out in the snow
She'd take off like a bullet
Man, you should have seen her go
Run, Maggie, run
With the heart of a rebel child
Oh, run, Maggie, run
Be just as free as you are wild
It was raining on a Monday
The day that Maggie died
She woke up and couldn't use her legs
So I laid down by her side
She put her head on my hand
Like she'd done so many times
I told her she was a good dog
Then I told her goodbye
Run, Maggie, run
With the heart of a rebel child
Oh, run, Maggie, run
Be just as free as you are wild
I had a revelation
As the tractor dug a hole
I can tell you right now
That a dog has a soul
And I thought to myself
As we buried her on the hill
I never knew me a better dog
And I guess I never will
Run, Maggie, run
With the heart of a rebel child
Oh, run, Maggie, run
Be just as free as you are wild
Oh, run, Maggie, run
With the heart of a rebel child
Oh, run, Maggie, run
Be just as free as you are wild

The Way I Feel Tonight -- Bay City Rollers

Turn the music way down low
Let me see you in the glow
In the fire light you are shining
Though it's much too soon to know
If this love I feel will grow
Let's take tonight to start out finding

'Cause the way I feel tonight
Everything will be all right
I will keep your candle burning
Oh, yes, the way I feel tonight
Everything will be all right
And the way I feel tonight
I love you

Close the door and turn the key
Open up your heart to me
I can see your love light glowing
Let your body melt in mine
Let us taste each other's wine
Till the cup is overflowing

'Cause the way I feel tonight
Everything will be all right
I will keep your candle burning
Oh, yes, the way I feel tonight
Everything will be all right
And the way I feel tonight
I love you

Baby, I love you...
Baby, I love you...

Second Avenue -- Art Garfunkle

Since we can no longer make it, girl
I found a new place to live my life
It's really no place at all

Just a hole in the wall, you see
It's cold and dusty but I let it be
Livin' here without you
On Second Avenue

And since our stars took different paths
I guess I won't be shavin' in your looking glass
Guess my old friendly grin
Must have started to dim, somehow

And I certainly don't need it now
Still, I keep smiling through
On Second Avenue
I can still see you standing

There on the third-floor landing
The day you visited we hardly said a word
Outside it was rainin'
You said you couldn't be stayin

And you went back to your flowers and your birds
Since we can no longer see the light
The way we did when we kissed that night
Then all the things that we felt

Must eventually melt and fade
Like the frost on my window pane
Where I wrote, "I. M. U." (I Miss You)
On Second Avenue...

Like ridin' around on railcars and workin' long days

Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways

Call it one drink too many
Call it pride of a man
But it don't make no difference if you sit or you stand

'Cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin
Yeah they both end in trouble and start with a grin

One more for the stars and their eyes in the walls
I hail your face and then I saw you standing out

I saw your face in the crowd and you came out
You saw me crossing the valley and you came in

Look at the sign on the door and it reads to me
Just like the grass and the sign when you walked in

Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

I am on my way
I am on my way

Rhiannon -- Stevie Nicks (from "The Dance", ft. Fleetwood Mac)

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is to darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
All your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
(Rhiannon)

Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?

Lost, lost as a child's first thought
I must have arms to hold me
Lost without love and care
I must have my fair share
Fair, fair is a changing word
But fair is an honored promise
Justice if you're still there
I will have my fair share

Justice is a lady
Lay me down with justice in a long white gown
With a breath of love, we can share
Share, sleep with me if you dare
Celebrate my fair share

Fair, fair is a changing word

Listening to the Sandy Hook father who refused to let Alex Jones win.

Warning: Triggers, violence and school shootings

From the Sway podcast page:
From the big lie to Bill Gates’s supposed Covid vaccine microchips, the internet loves a conspiracy theory. In this conversation, Kara Swisher revisits one that is almost a decade old: that Sandy Hook was a hoax. After a shooter at Sandy Hook Elementary School killed 26 people, including Noah Pozner, his father, Leonard Pozner, began seeing online musings that the tragedy was a production of crisis actors and part of a scheme to attack Second Amendment rights. The conspiracies were rampant on Facebook pages, Twitter feeds, WordPress blogs and YouTube videos — and they were amplified in particular by the far-right broadcaster and conspiracist Alex Jones on his media outlet Infowars.

Kara asks Pozner why he “respected the possibility that people had questions” about the massacre and how he engaged with Sandy Hook deniers. She and Pozner cover the lawsuits that he and other Sandy Hook parents are pursuing against Jones. And they discuss the responsibility borne by platforms like Facebook and Twitter, which hosted Jones for so long. As Pozner points out, “The focus for all of these platforms is growth and expansion. They really don’t want to deal with the cleanup at all.”

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me, and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried
We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged
Went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how
She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would've liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie
I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes, I wasn't sure if I
Saw doubt or gratitude
She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another auld lang syne
The beer was empty, and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away
Just for a moment, I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain

Spectrum "Music Choice" has me spoiled having almost every genre of music I could desire and my tastes are very eclectic. They are missing folk and filk. Also, they group all jazz that's not "Smooth Jazz" or generic jazz in the same two categories. If you want E, W, and F its a matter of guessing if "Classic R/B" or jazz, but none of them play greats like Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, nor do the Classical channels offer Symphonies or other "heavier" classical pieces. There are no commercials, however.

Dance Me To The End Of Love -- Leonard Cohen

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Oh, let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

You're The Inspiration -- Peter Cetera

You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love to last forever
And I want you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know, everywhere I go
Always on my mind, in my heart, in my soul

Baby, you're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me saying
No one needs you more than I need you

And I know, yes, I know that it's plain to see
We're so in love when we're together
Now I know, now I know
That I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know
Everywhere I go
Always on my mind, in my heart, in my soul

Baby, you're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me saying
No one needs you more than I need you

Wanna have you near me
Wanna have you hear me saying
No one needs you more than I need you

You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
Bring feeling to my life

You're the inspiration
When you love somebody
Till the end of time
When you love somebody

Always on my mind (No one needs you more than I)
When you love somebody
Till the end of time
When you love somebody
Always on my mind (No one needs you more than I)

The Glory of Love -- Peter Cetera

Tonight it's very clear
'Cause we're both lying here
There's so many things I wanna say
I will always love you
I would never leave you alone

Sometimes I just forget
Say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't wanna lose you
I could never make it alone

I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever
Knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

You keep me standing tall
You help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone

I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero
You've been dreaming of
We'll live forever
Knowing together that we did it all
For the glory of love

It's like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just in time I will save the day
Take you to my castle far away

I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of
We're gonna live forever
Knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

We'll live forever
Knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

We did it all for love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love

I'll Carry You Home -- Trisha Yearwood

When you can't walk and there's chains 'round your soul
The burden's too heavy and you've run out of road
And you're praying out loud
As you stumble through the rain and snow
I'll walk out and find you, I'll carry you home

When you can't speak 'cause the words are too strong
And every time that you try it just comes out all wrong
When your heart's screaming out
But no one can hear your song
Oh, I'll sing it for you, I'll carry you home

I'll carry you home, I'll carry you home
So rest your heart easy, I'll carry you home

So wander this world now, fearless and free
Climb every mountain and sail every sea
But if you wander too far into the great unknown
You know I will find you, I'll carry you home

I'll carry you home, I'll carry you home
So rest your heart easy, I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home, I'll carry you home (I'll carry you home)
Honey, rest your heart easy, I'll carry you home

Rest your heart easy, I'll carry you home...

Back Home Again -- John Denver

There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rolling in
The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders
There's a truck out on the four lane, a mile or more away
The whining of his wheels just makes it colder

He's an hour away from riding on your prayers up in the sky
And ten days on the road are barely gone
There's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove
But it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm

Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again

There's all the news to tell him, how'd you spend your time
And what's the latest thing the neighbors say?
And your mother called last Friday, "Sunshine" made her cry
And you felt the baby move just yesterday

Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again

Oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down
And feel your fingers feather soft upon me
The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way
The happiness that living with you brings me

It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you
It's the little things that make a house a home
Like a fire softly burning and supper on the stove
The light in your eyes that keeps me warm

Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again

Hey, it's good to be back home again (you know it is)
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again

I said hey, it's so good to be back home again...

Hold Me -- Whitney Houston (feat. Teddy Pendergrass)

I'll hold you and touch you and make you my woman
I'll give you my love with sweet surrender
Tonight our hearts will beat as one
And I will hold you, touch you
And make you my woman tonight

There's something in your eyes I see
A pure and simple honesty

Hold me in your arms tonight
Fill my life with pleasure
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure

Hold me in your arms tonight
We'll make it last forever
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together

I believe you when you say that you love me
Know that I won't take you for granted
Tonight the magic has begun
So won't you hold me, touch me
Make me your woman tonight

There's something in your eyes I see
I won't betray your trust in me

Hold me in your arms tonight
Fill my life with pleasure
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure

Hold me in your arms tonight
We'll make it last forever
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together

I'll hold you and touch you
And make you my woman tonight

Hold me in your arms tonight
Fill my life with pleasure
There's something in your eyes I see
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure

Hold me in your arms tonight
We'll make it last forever
Something in your eyes I see
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together

Hold me in your arms tonight
Fill my life with pleasure
There's something in your eyes I see
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure

Hold me in your arms tonight
We'll make it last forever
There's something in your eyes I see
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together

Song facts:

This song incorporated the backing of a large wordless choir, which in reality was the group's voices. It was painstakingly built up from chord loops and multi tracks: some 256 vocal dubs were required to complete the lush harmonies behind Eric Stewart's vocal.
The idea for the song came from Eric Stewart saying to his wife that if he kept saying "I Love You" over and over, it wouldn't mean anything even though he did love her. He recalled to The Guardian:

"I met this gorgeous girl called Gloria at Halifax town hall. I was 18. She was 16. Three years later, we got married. A few years after that, Gloria told me: 'You don't say 'I love you' much anymore.' I told her that, if I said it all the time, it would sound glib. But I started wondering how I could say it without using those actual words. So 'I'm not in love' became a rhetorical conversation with myself – and then a song."
