Free Download African American History: From Emancipation Through Jim Crow by Hasan Kwame Jeffries, The Great Courses

The abolition of slavery in 1865 did not bring about the kind of progress free Black men and women in America were hoping for. In fact, the late 19th and early 20th centuries were some of the darkest and most disturbing decades for African Americans in the United States. They could not participate in political life-not as voters and certainly not as politicians or legislators. They could not attend the same schools, serve in the same military brigades, work in the same factories, sit on the same buses, or drink from the same water fountains as their white counterparts. And their migration out of the Jim Crow South and into Northern cities was met with rampant economic discrimination and extreme violence.
Although the institution of slavery had been destroyed, its logic remained a powerful force in American life. While white supremacy continued unabated, politics, the economy, and society reflected this idealogy for decades to come.

English | 2019 | ISBN: B07S2TDZ2S | MP3@128 kbps | ~07:45:00 | 426 Mb
"One of our true superstars of nonfiction" (David Foster Wallace), Lewis Hyde, author of The Gift and Trickster Makes the World, offers a playful and melancholy defense of forgetfulness by exploring the healing effect it can have on the human psyche.
We live in a culture that prizes memory - how much we can store, the quality of what's preserved, how we might better document and retain the moments of our life while fighting off the nightmare of losing all that we have experienced. But what if forgetfulness were seen not as something to fear - be it in the form of illness or simple absentmindedness - but rather as a blessing, a balm, a path to peace and forgiveness?

On the eve of her marriage to George Hazelton, Frances has a great deal more on her mind than flowers and seating arrangements.

At the request of her brother, Alonzo, who is quite taken with Miss Madeline Connor, Frances has invited the Connor family to her wedding. Meanwhile, Frances's mother has invited Mr. Bainbridge, and Frances fears the wedding may end up being newspaper-worthy for all the wrong reasons.

The beloved Peloton instructor chronicles his journey from small-town North Carolina to New York City stardom in an empowering story that reveals his secret to success: not taking yourself-or life-too seriously.

But if there is one opinion-one truth-that he holds above all others, it's that we shouldn't let the fear of looking stupid or being judged hold us back from living our best lives.
