Chuck Grassley once wore a “Free Lisa Myers” button to force NBC to air an interview with Juanita Broaddrick about her twenty year old allegations against Bill Clinton. It’s interesting how the search for truth regarding decades old allegations and the standards the Republican Party chooses to apply can shift so dramatically. Episode 8 of the second season, “Move On”, was a fascinating and disturbing episode from ‘Slow Burn’, one of the best podcasts around. The first season is about Watergate, the second is on the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, and you need to go listen to both. They’re both a shocking look into how history repeats itself, especially when those who made that history are still in power and allowed to manipulate the course of society and politics. 🎧 Don’t forget to download the @podysseyapp and follow us at @gasstationb.

Sadly, despite his prolific output and the positive critical reception he received from his work, including ‘Black Thunder’, which is considered his greatest work, he struggled to earn a living from his books and gained little acknowledgement for his work. Bontemps also served as the head librarian at Fisk University in Nashville where he developed important collections and archives of African-American literature and culture, namely the Langston Hughes Renaissance Collection. 🖊 “...small wonder then my children glean in fields they have not sown, and feed on bitter fruit.” 🖊 #gasstationburrito #books #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #bookquotes #bookishfeatures #authorquotes #bookfeaturepage #bookishfeatures #librarian_of_gram #bookaholic #Instaquotes #booksofinstagram #Bookporn #literaryhistory #onthisday #october13 #arnabontemps #strangefruit #reaping #slavery #poetry #poem #harlemrenaissance #fiskuniversity #langstonhughes #blackthunderIn addition to being recognized as an actor and playwright, Alice Childress is also known for her young adult novels, such as ‘A Hero Ain't Nothin' but a Sandwich’ which she also adapted as a screenplay for the 1978 film starring Cicely Tyson and Paul Winfield. 🖊 #gasstationburrito #books #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #bookquotes #bookishfeatures #authorquotes #quotes #bookfeaturepage #bookishfeatures #librarian_of_gram #bookaholic #Instaquotes #igquotes #booksofinstagram #Bookporn #literaryhistory #onthisday #october12 #snowflakes #playwright #alicechildress #uncommonlymarvelous #uncommon #marvelous #aheroaintnothingbutasandwich #cicelytyson #paulwinfield#Repost @thesweetpeagirls with @get_repost ・・・ Is this really happening?!

She described her writing as trying to portray the have-nots in a have society, saying: "My writing attempts to interpret the 'ordinary' because they are not ordinary. Each human is uniquely different. Like snowflakes, the human pattern is never cast twice. We are uncommonly and marvellously intricate in thought and action, our problems are most complex and, too often, silently borne." ———————————— “Everybody's got some sin, but if it troubles your heart you're a gentle sinner, just a good soul gone wrong.” ― Alice Childress 📕📗📘📙📕📗📘📙 #gasstationburrito #books #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #bookquotes #bookishfeatures #authorquotes #quotes #bookfeaturepage #bookishfeatures #librarian_of_gram #bookaholic #Instaquotes #igquotes #booksofinstagram #Bookporn #literaryhistory #onthisday #october12 #sinner #goodsoul #snowflakes #playwright #alicechildress@gasstation_b
