The postwar Republican administrations
After the end of World War I, many Americans were left with a feeling of distrust toward foreigners and radicals, whom they held responsible for the war. The Russian Revolution of 1917 and the founding of the communists’ Third International in 1919 further fanned American fears of radicalism. Race riots and labour unrest added to the tension. Thus, when a series of strikes and indiscriminate bombings began in 1919, the unrelated incidents were all assumed incorrectly in most cases to be communist-inspired. During the ensuing Red Scare, civil liberties were sometimes grossly violated and many innocent aliens were deported. The Red Scare was over within a year, but a general distrust of foreigners, liberal reform movements, and organized labour remained throughout the 1920s. In fact, many viewed Warren G.

Jazz 101 This virtual class will take place on Zoom. Tickets: $10 for individual sessions/dates; $56 for All 8 sessions Tickets may be purchased for all 8 sessions (choose the All 8 sessions ticket on April 6) or for individual sessions/dates. Taught by jazz researcher and educator Ben Young, Jazz 101 is a survey of the history of Jazz music, held over eight two-hour sessions one per week. The course is designed for listeners at all experience levels: Using historic Jazz recordings we illustrate where the music came from, how it works, and how the styles have evolved. We will also explore Jazz in the socio-historical context of 20th Century America. The essential part of course is great music and the rich stories of the figures who shaped the music. It’s a lecture format, but no question is too basic. No papers, no tests, no entrance requirements, no one will call on you in class. Just check in and dig the sounds.
Lindsay Garbutt: Welcome to
The Poetry Magazine Podcast. I m Lindsay Garbutt. This week, I m very excited to introduce this conversation between The Cyborg Jillian Weise and Ishmael Reed. Reed is a writer whose decades of work have been immensely influential to Weise. They ve shared stages and pages in their work as poets, performers, editors, and activists. They both wield humor and satire to seriously consider the violence of our governments, our literature, and the many other forms of erasure that are enacted on the lives and works of disabled people.
Reed was born in Tennessee in 1938, and Weise was born in Texas in 1981. Across that 40-year age difference, they share a sort of poetic kinship. Their conversation today ranges from working across genres, smashing tokenism, and the joy of making up new words and new paths. You ll also hear each of them read from some of their recent work. Now, here s The Cyborg Jillian Weise and Ishmael Reed.

The release of the Lee Daniels Hulu Originals film,
The United States vs. Billie Holiday, has inspired new and longtime jazz enthusiasts to learn more about the musical geniuses behind their favorite records. Some of the best books about jazz don t just chronicle the genre s history in the 20th century and beyond they also pull back the curtain on the legends who built the musical style and the oft-heartbreaking stories that fueled their every note and melody.
