Esther Fordham was a Black woman who, born October 9, 1925 in Hamburg, Germany, came of age during the Nazi era. In this December, 1995 conversation with artist Frank Fitzgerald, Esther discusses her youth, schooling and the reaction of classmates and adult Germans to her specialness. As world conditions darken and war grows to become the norm, she finds discrimination, fear, sorrow and horror, but also generosity and hope.
After the bombings cease, amid the rubble Esther meets and marries an American soldier. Giving birth in an Army hospital, she wonders why she has a whole maternity ward to herself. Later, living in America, she slowly learns about prejudice, segregation and lynchings.
Throughout all, Esther Anumu Fordham strives to see “people as human beings” and succeeds.
In 1997, after having raised a family and worked 20+ years for an airline, Esther retired and returned to Germany. She lived to be 94 years old.

Two 8mm “home movies” made of Esther’s nursery class outings to New York’s Central Park may be of interest. She can be heard and seen briefly in each –

All of the 13 points from Ice Cube’s “Contract with Black America” rely on legislation, all of this is the responsibility of Congress, few of these will withstand scrutiny as mere executive orders, and few (if any) of these will pass a 60-vote majority in the Republican Senate.
Furthermore, as we’ve seen throughout the last 3 years, Trump does not control the Republican Senate (he may have been key to a few election wins for them, but he’s currently being kept at arms’ length). Trump’s “Platinum Plan” will not get 60 votes, and the Republican Senators are damn sure not repealing the filibuster.
Similarly, Biden will not control the Democratic Senate, and his only job will be to pass or veto whatever is sent to him by a Democratic Congress.
So Ice Cube can collaborate with Trump’s advisors to perfect the “Platinum Plan” all he wants. Doesn’t mean it’s going to Trump’s desk, or the CWBA to Biden’s, unless the filibuster goes away next year.
And Biden’s campaign was right to answer that this will have to wait until after the election. It’s Schumer who will have to answer that anyway, not Biden. Don’t write a check that you can’t cash from the White House.
Garifuna is spoken by as many as 190,000 people, principally in the Central American nations of Honduras, Belize, Guatemala and Nicaragua, as well as by significant diaspora communities in the United States. An Arawakan language, it is the only surviving member of the Igneri (Island Carib) dialect continuum. Read more on Wikipedia: http://bit.ly/1KdGhan.

With SOUTHERN SHADES OF BLUE, filmed in Moore County, NC, the Southern small-town, left-leaning voice is highlighted.
Episode 1 shows there are many more left-leaning voters in your small town than you might think and they are working their asses off.
While Southern values are often associated with only conservatives and conservative values, this interview series works to flip this narrative. The series shows how Southern and liberal values, such as kindness, family, and civil rights, overlap.
This interview series urges all small town progressives, liberals, and democrats to “come out of the closet” as it were politically, let your voice be known, and make sure your vote is counted.
We have less than one month to flip the country – let’s do it together!
PROJECT NOTE: These videos were filmed in the Fall of 2019, pre-Covid, pre-the murder of George Floyd by police. SOUTHERN SHADES OF BLUE stands with BIPOC in the fight against systemic racism and also urges everyone in the country to wear a mask.
DISCLAIMER: The opinions of all interviewees are their own opinions. Interviewees are not speaking on behalf of organizations mentioned in this video.

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music’s Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It’s the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space.
Oct. 1, 2020 | Bobby Carter — In this Tiny Desk (home) concert, R&B star Jhené Aiko coasts through an eight-song medley that plays like the ultimate nod to her legions of fans — fans who’ve been begging for a Tiny Desk for a long time.
The Los Angeles native’s star status is a result of her music’s versatility and vulnerability. Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo has carved out a space of her own over the past decade, despite a rapidly changing R&B landscape. As a songwriter, she leaves no stone unturned, explicitly expressing her struggle, joy and sexuality while always administering the vibe.
Her latest album, Chilombo, released just before the pandemic hit the U.S., doubled down and leaned into the therapeutic nature of her songs — and that same aesthetic fuels her Tiny Desk. Backed by an ensemble of masked players, Aiko bookends her set with a sound bath of singing bowls that’s peace personified through sound.
