Walter F. White led two lives: one as a leader of the Harlem Renaissance and the NAACP in the early twentieth century; the other as a white newspaperman who covered lynching crimes in the Deep South at the blazing height of racial violence. Born mixed race and with very fair skin and straight hair, White was able to “pass” for white. He leveraged this ambiguity as a reporter, bringing to light the darkest crimes in America and helping to plant the seeds of the civil rights movement.

I could not get enough of the details of this brilliant life so ably presented, and the critical events in which Walter White was involved and to which he dedicated his life. The parallel story of the birth and maturity of the NAACP, and those who supported it, is fascinating. The sobering reality of lynching - which continues - cannot be over told, and this us a great telling.

For those alive when the events occurred inspiring these musicians and their songs, the backstories are brilliant and enriching reminders. For others who grew up after these songs came out, Chuck D’s narration will provide a deeper understanding of the critical role musical artistry has played, and guard against forgetting these breakthroughs in our culture.

We’ve been celebrating Earth Day for 50 years, but even the most ardent activists of today would have a hard time picturing the intensity and excitement the first Earth Day in 1970 brought. Before then, no one used the phrase “environmental movement”. But that first Earth Day sparked an unprecedented conversation about pollution, wilderness protection, sprawl, and more. Join Adam Rome, professor of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Buffalo, as he uncovers the motivation for, and the lasting impact of, a national day devoted to environmental awareness.

I was an environmentally conscious student activist in 1970, and so I looked forward to reliving that environmental segment of activism with this series of lectures. But I did not think I would learn a whole lot new about Earth Day. I was delightfully wrong about this and learned a tremendous amount about people and events I had never heard of who contributed to the lasting success of this extraordinary event. The topics are thoughtfully arranged in the several lectures, and I. thoroughly enjoyed Prof. Rome's evident research and enthusiastic presentation. Most important, Prof. Rome makes a persuasive case for the Earth Day model -- in its conception and execution and its influence -- as a critical component of any vision for preserving our planet in the face of so many daunting threats to our ecosystem and our very civilization. .
