Giving voice to the voiceless, the Chicago Defender condemned Jim Crow, catalyzed the Great Migration, and focused the electoral power of black America. Robert S. Abbott founded the Defender in 1905, smuggled hundreds of thousands of copies into the most isolated communities in the segregated South, and was dubbed a "Modern Moses", becoming one of the first black millionaires in the process.

Business success stories are amazing enough! To get the backstory on how the Abbott/Sengstacke families managed to create and sustain the Chicago Defender through to the present day is an underrated and phenomenal achievement. Consider the social challenges facing Black Americans then and now. While this condition gave the paper its reason for existence, the story of how the Defender and its employees navigated the landscape was all the more fascinating involving race, money and Chicago politics.

At once a powerful evocation of his early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice to both the individual and the body politic, James Baldwin galvanized the nation in the early days of the civil rights movement with this eloquent manifesto. The Fire Next Time stands as one of the essential works of our literature.

The wait is over. After a two-year investigation, the results of The Mueller Report have been released to the public. Now listen to an audio version of one of the most talked about government documents in history. These are the redacted findings of Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team, which was tasked with investigating Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, including exploring any links or coordination between President Donald J. Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and the Russian government.

Worth the Time!

At some 18 hours of audio, this was daunting. However, this audio version was much better than to attempt to read the written report. The report itself is exceptionally done and a must-read in understanding the events in question from a chronological and legal perspective. Hearing facts in this report changed my impressions of many instances reported in the press both liberal and conservative. As such, credit must be given to those in our government who undoubtedly poured years of 24/7 effort into preparing the report. I encourage anyone interested in our democracy, citizens especially, to take the time to digest its findings. Thank you, Audible!
