AI and digital expert Suchi Srinivasan and fintech practice leader Kamila Rakhimova from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) talk to the women at the vanguard of business, digital, and technology. They’re digging into how these powerhouse leaders got where they are—everything from the joy of projects gone right to the realities of family responsibilities. And crucially, asking: what was that moment you knew you weren't merely getting there...you had arrived? That's when you know you're in your element.

Congratulating Harvard for appointing a Black President! Tamara Lanier is suing Harvard for perpetuating a eugenics racist experiement involving horrific dehumanizing nude images of her enslaved ancestors. Although enslaved Papa Renty was a self-taught literate patriarch Harvard purports his intelligence was equal to a 5 month old fetus. With unshakable faith and hope he educated his family and distant kindred. Once free Renty’s descendants overcame insurmountable challenges and accomplished miraculous success. Tamara Lanier and her stark resemblance to her Papa Renty is living proof of his level of intelligence and resilience. Renty’s children established and self-governed their very own towns. Books and movies continue to document Renty’s inspirational legacy. In spite of the voluminous wealth of documentation. Harvard refuses to acknowledge these facts because Renty and Tamara’s spiritual and physical bond are diametrically opposed to the images and the racist pseudo science they perpetrated. In 2016, President Obama signed the Holocaust Expropriation Art Recovery Act - HEAR Act; introduced, 2016 by Senators Cronyn, Cruz, Schumer, and Blumenthal. “ Nations and civil society groups expressed a renewed interest in addressing the restitution of art lost in the Holocaust. The United States led these efforts. In 1998, 43 nations met and addressed the restitution of art lost in the Holocaust. They unanimously approved the Washington Conference Principles on Nazi-Confiscated Art, which declared that Holocaust victims & their heirs "should come forward and make known their claims to art that was confiscated restituted".…

The story of “The Christmas Escape 1854" begins on Christmas Eve, when Tubman arrived on Poplar Neck to lead her brothers Ben, Robert, and Henry Ross to freedom. They were scheduled to be sold on the auction block the day after Christmas. ~ Artist Mark Priest Gerrit Smith, who spoke before the Vigilance Association of New York, relayed this advice, "When you are escaping take all along your route, in the free as well as the enslaved states, so long as it is absolutely essential to your escape; the horse, the boat, the food, the clothing you require, and feel no compunction for the justifiable appropriation than does the drowning man for possessing himself a plank that floats his way." Henrietta Buckmaster "Let My People Go" --------- According to William Still, this was Harriet Tubman’s last trip south. WILMINGTON, 12th mo., 1st, 1860. RESPECTED FRIEND, WILLIAM STILL:— I write to let thee know that Harriet Tubman is again in these parts.

I agreed to pay a man last evening, to pilot them on their way to Chester county; the wife of one of the men, with two or three children, was left some thirty miles below, and I gave Harriet ten dollars, to hire a man with carriage, to take them to Chester county. She said a man had offered [his services] for that sum...... Thy Friend, THOMAS GARRETT. N.B. We hope all will be in Chester county to-morrow.…

Free Afrcan Society's Black Nurses and the 1793 Philadelphia Yellow Fever Epidemic In 1793, Philadelphia was as large and as cosmopolitan a city as could be found in the new United States. Until 1800, Philadelphia served as the U.S. capitol. The city was also home to a substantial number of people of color. The yellow fever outbreak that began that summer led to an outcry for help to the Black Benevolent Societies.. As the disease spread, so too did panic. Some 20,000 residents fled the city. Deaths became so frequent that the College of Physicians asked city officials to stop tolling bells for the dead because the constant ringing was so oppressive. With the exodus of so many able-bodied people, care for the sick and dying was limited at best. In desperation, civic leaders — including Declaration of Independence signatory Benjamin Rush, M.D., then a professor at the Institutes of Medicine — approached the city’s black community for help. Like many people of the time, he believed that black people had some special immunity to the virus. The leaders of Philadelphia’s Free African Society, a mutual aid organization founded in 1787 by ministers Absalom Jones and Richard Allen in partnership with black abolitionists like William Gray, willingly agreed to provide that help, often asking little or no pay. Jones and Allen, who had some medical training, also played an active role in treating the sick, sometimes working directly with Rush. By their own account, they cared for “upwards of 800 people.” ** Image: Black Cross Nurses https://youtu.be/9r4KJMsaD3s…

The Roots of Labor Day: May Day versus Labor Day.. Labor Day is a national holiday dedicated to American workers.In the 19th century, the industrial revolution reached its peak, and many Americans had to work 12 hours a day seven days a week. Even small children worked in factories and died striking in the Silk Mills located in Paterson New Jersey. Almost none of the employers provided their employees with sick leave, paid leave or medical benefits. When workers began to unionize, they began to protest against difficult and unsafe working conditions and demand more substantial benefits from employers. Both Labor Day and International Workers' Day, which is celebrated on May 1, are established in honor of the american workers. In May 1886, a demonstration of workers who spoke for the 8 hour work day took place at Haymarket Square in Chicago. An explosion occurred during the protest, killing seven policemen and four civilians. After the events at Haymarket Square a powerful anti-union movement appeared. Over the years, May Day has become increasingly associated with left-wing radicals. Topics: Pullman Brothers Strike, A.

Abolitionists: Chris Webber, Stephon Marbury, Paul Robeson, Kenny "The Jet" Smith, Satchel Paige, Randy Moss, Naomi Osaka, Muhammad Ali, Collin Kapernick, Craig Hodges, "Tommie Smith and John Carlos". As reported by CNN: The Milwaukee Bucks were a driving force behind the boycotting of NBA Playoff games on Wednesday following Blake's shooting in Wisconsin.Blake was shot in the back 7 times at point blank range in the presence of his young children. Milwaukee versus the Orlando Magic was the first game boycotted on Wednesday, and every other team followed in support of the movement. The boycotting also reached other leagues as well. Various NFL teams canceled training camp on Thursday. The WNBA also opted to boycott games. The NHL decided to not play games on Thursday or Friday. Jacob Blake, who remains hospitalized after sustaining multiple injuries, is now handcuffed to his bed, his family said. Blake's uncle told CNN on Thursday that Blake's father visited the Wauwatosa, Wisconsin hospital where his son is recovering from at least one surgery. He was "heartbroken" to see that his son was handcuffed. "This is an insult to injury," Justin Blake, the uncle of the victim, said. "He is paralyzed and can't walk and they have him cuffed to the bed. Why?"…

The New Jersey Amistad Commission Executive Director Stephanie James New Jersey schools incorporate African American history into their K-12 social studies curricula and appropriate content areas. This legislation created the Amistad Commission, a 23-member body charged with ensuring that African American historical content, contributions and experiences are taught in the state’s classrooms on a daily basis, and infused into all district curricula, lessons, testing, and presentations. The NJAC has become a national model for the revision of social studies education. New Jersey was first in the nation to pass such legislation.

In 2004, Pennsylvania native Mary Groce was going through a box of family papers with her cousin Aileen when she found a sheet of old letterhead for an “Emory C. Malick, Licensee: Pilot No. 105.” Included on the letterhead was a photograph of a handsome young man in a Curtiss pusher-type airplane. Hubert Fauntleroy Julian, nicknamed the Black Eagle, was born in Trinidad on January 5th, 1897. In 1922, when he was 25 years old, he flew over parades in support of Marcus Garvey. He subsequently took flying lessons from Air Service, Inc., and purchased a plane to fly to Africa. After flying to Roosevelt airfield, when he attempted to depart in July 1924, the plane crashed and burned. He survived and spent the next month in a Long Island hospital. In 1929, he did succeed in a Trans-Atlantic flight two years later than Charles Lindberg. --------- Here's the link to Pilot Fauntleroy Julian's Film Lying Lips __________ In 1930 after flying to Ethiopia, Emperor Haile Selassie granted him Ethiopian citizenship and made him a Colonel. One year later, in 1931, he became the first black man to fly coast to coast over the American continent and also broke the world record for endurance flying with a non-stop non-refueling flight of 84 hours and 33 minutes. In 1935, Julian commanded the small Ethiopian Air Force during the Italian invasion of that country by Benito Mussolini’s Army. Four years later Julian produced the classic melodrama, Lying Lips, which starred Robert Earl Jones, father of James Earl Jones. In 1965, in collaboration with John Bulloch, he wrote the 200-page autobiography, Black Eagle. Black Aviators, Hubert Fauntleroy, William Powell, Bessie Coleman, John C.

Currently works in NYC. Dr. Griffin was also led a delegation of Pre-Med Students to study in Cuba for nearly two decades. You can listen to The Gist of Freedom at www.BlackhistoryUniversity.com ********** This show is in honor of: The Black Nurses and the 1793 Philadelphia Yellow Fever Epidemic In 1793, Philadelphia was as large and as cosmopolitan a city as could be found in the new United States. Until 1800, Philadelphia served as the U.S. capitol. The city was also home to a substantial number of people of color. The yellow fever outbreak that began that summer led to an outcry for help to the Black Benevolent Societies.. As the disease spread, so too did panic. Some 20,000 residents fled the city. With the exodus care for the sick was limited. In desperation, civic leaders — including Declaration of Independence signatory Benjamin Rush, M.D., then a professor at the Institutes of Medicine — approached the city’s black community for help. The leaders of Philadelphia’s Free African Society, a mutual aid organization founded in 1787 by ministers Absalom Jones and Richard Allen agreed to provide that help. They too had some medical training, and played an active role. They cared for “upwards of 800 people.” **** Image: Black Cross Nurses 1920…

Arrested Development’s Speech For Speech it’s a homecoming replete with memories of growing up in Milwaukee, the son of a business mom and dad, attending parochial and Milwaukee Public schools; of music always being the dominate force in his life, as if he was born to do only that…and succeeding. Speech recalled helping his parents at age eight deliver the Milwaukee Community Journal to the doorsteps of Black community residents. “I’ve witnessed their struggle to keep it (the newspaper) alive and also their determination to retain a voice for the Black experience. I guess the desire to make a difference is in my blood…and my desire…and that of my family burns deep in the way my wife and I have brought up our children.” Now the Grammy winning songwriter, producer and singer has made a documentary titled, “16 Bars,” that is premiering October 20th at the Oriental Theater. “16 Bars” is about a unique rehabilitation program in Richmond, VA Speech was involved with that allows prisoners to write and record their own songs.

It’s in that studio the inmates unearth painful elements of their pasts as they create original music. Through their collaboration with Speech, the inmates begin to move forward with their lives. The music of the film serves as a rare testimony to the messy truth behind the criminal justice system’s revolving door. “16 Bars” premiered last October.…

These families were part of a wave of black settlers who came to Nebraska and other states after the Civil War, seeking lands offered by the government. They came here to start new lives, to claim land and work for themselves in a country that still didn’t know where they fit in. Within a generation or two they moved on, in search of better opportunities for their children. Evidence of their stories is scarce.

Join The Gist of Freedom as we welcome Our Visiting Lecturer The University of Glasgow's Professor Simon P. Newton. The topic of discussion: The Runaway Slaves Ads in Eighteenth-Century Britain project! It has created a searchable database of well over eight hundred newspaper advertisements placed by Colonial slavers seeking the capture and return of enslaved people who they traveled with to Britain and bound people who had escaped. Many of these bound and enslaved people were of African descent, though a small number were from the Indian sub-continent and a few were Indigenous Americans. To the enslaved flight represented one of the greatest acts of self-determination, and some historians have argued that runaways challenged the slave system from within and contributed to their own and others' eventual emancipation. The first British-Enslaved African Man to win his freedom through the courts was James Somersett. In 1771, soon after he was brought to Scotland, Somersett ran away but was re-captured and put on a ship bound for Jamaica. But three people claiming to be Somersett's godparents from his baptism as a Christian in England, John Marlow, Thomas Walkin, and Elizabeth Cade, made an application before the Court of King's Bench for a writ of habeas corpus. After a month of consideration, judge Lord Justice Mansfield ruled that James should be set free. He called the case 'odious' and said that 'the claim of slavery can never be supported'. This was hailed as a great victory by James and his supporters and set an important precedent, widely taken to mean that when a slave sets foot on English soil, he becomes free. It wasn't until Wilberforce's 1807 act, though, that owning foreign slaves on foreign lands was outlawed.…

Her African bloodline in the British royal family is not common knowledge. Portraits of the Queen had been reduced to fiction of the Black Magi, until two art historians suggested that the definite African features of the paintings derived from actual subjects. Sophie Charlotte was descended directly from an African branch of the Portuguese Royal House, Margarita de Castro y Sousa.

Join Philip Merrill, founder of Nanny Jack Co. as we honor pilot Tammie Jo Shults, Cornelius Coffey and Bessie Coleman! Tammie Jo Shults is the pilot who bravely flew Southwest Flight 1380 to safety after part of its left engine ripped off, damaging a window and nearly sucking a woman out of the plane. The flight was en route to Dallas Love airport from New York City, and had to make an emergency landing in Philadelphia. Shults, 56, kept her cool during an incredibly intense situation, audio from her conversation with air traffic controllers reveals, while many passengers posted on social media that they were scared these were their last moments. She, with the help of the co-pilot and the rest of the crew, landed the plane safely. ******* Cornelius Coffey (September 6, 1903 - March 2, 1994) In 1938, Coffey established one of the first African American-owned and certified flight schools in America. The Coffey School of Aeronautics was located at Harlem Airport in Oaklawn, Illinois, a Chicago suburb. He also invented a carburetor heater to prevent icing, and a variation of it is still being used. Coffey recruited Clyde Hampton, Willa Brown -- a former student who later became his wife -- and other pioneer black pilots as instructors. As a consequence, Chicago was considered the leading city for black pilot training prior to World War II. Many of the original Tuskegee Airmen got their initial training at the Coffey school. In 1939, Coffey, along with Willa Brown, a member of the Civil Air Patrol, and Enoch P. Waters formed the National Airmen’s Association of America. The main goal of this club was to expose African Americans to the field of aviation.…

Genealogist, Ms. Bertha, Seed For Deed, Land Grabbing During Post- Reconstruction. In 1875, developers began selling The Serenola land to the slavery survivors who were once in bondage on the plantation. Miraculously, 250 acres that were sold from 1875 through 1885 were purchased by five black families. The freedmen and their families included: Harrison Lynch (1835-1916), with his wife Hannah and their four children; Mack Williams (1825-1898), with his wife Sally and their four children; minister Washington West (1853-1942), with his wife Nelly and their two children; Jerry Gregg (1845-1920), with his wife Jane and their five children; and Bina Gregg, a widow (1805-1896). During the early 1900s, West family members established Minnie Hill Baptist Church, located on the old road. After Washington West retired as pastor of Serenola Baptist Church, which he helped found in 1885, he attended the Minnie Hill Church until his death. That church was renamed Trinity Missionary Baptist Church in 1992. The last of the Slavery Survivors and landowners from the Serenola plantation died in 1942. The main house and the slavery quarters no longer exist, but the surroundings remain much as they appeared in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A dirt road once known as Rocky Point Road, with its canopy of oak trees, still runs through what was the plantation. It became a public highway in 1889, and is now S.W. 17th Terrace.…

Manna and Quail 16 The whole Israelite community set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had come out of Egypt. 2 In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. 3 The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt! There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.” 4 Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions. 31 The people of Israel called the bread manna.[d] It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey. 32 Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Take an omer of manna and keep it for the generations to come, so they can see the bread I gave you to eat in the wilderness when I brought you out of Egypt.’”…

Manna and Quail 16 The whole Israelite community set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had come out of Egypt. 2 In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. 3 The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt! There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.” 4 Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you.

ANNOUNCING THE LINCOLN BRIGADE THE AUDIO BOOK!!! How to order the audio book? Go to -- www.fightingfascism.com to order the audio book. This is the introduction to the audio book by Producers Lesley Gist and William Loren Katz: "In 2016 when one Presidential candidate has revived fascism’s many appeals to hate, THE LINCOLN BRIGADE story offers vital lessons. In 1936 General Francisco Franco’s fascist armies marched on Madrid, Spain, supported by planes and troops from Hitler’s Germany and Mussolini’s Italy. This was fascism’s first invasion of Europe and the U.S., England and France did nothing. "Then 35,000 men and women from 53 countries -- who hated war and fascism -- formed International Brigades, their volunteer effort to "stop fascism at the gates of Madrid." "The 2,800 American volunteers of The Lincoln Brigade were white and black, men and women, farmer and professor, student and unemployed. "Before 1936 the Lincolns had been active in support of racial equality, trade unions, aid for the poor and unemployment insurance.…

Parallels of Post-Reconstruction and Post-Obama Reconstruction Era" MONDAY, June, 2011 Listening to The Gist of Freedom Archives .... Parallels of Post-Reconstruction and Post-Obama Reconstruction Era As I witness the ongoing assault of all-things-Barack-Obama and the environment of hatred that has ensued after his election, this atmosphere is reminiscent of the Post-Reconstruction Era. Post-Reconstruction is also called the Nadir Era because it signified one of the lowest points of US history due to the violent, white backlash against African-American progress in the country. Today’s whites have dirty little family secrets about a racist great-great-grandmother or a plantation-owning ancestor and even an heirloom of a picture postcard of a lynching circa 1907. Whereas black folk have many hushed family stories about an ancestor being the photo on the lynching postcard, someone who had to abandon their family in fear of being killed, or ran out of town, beat-up, or raped or unrightfully disposed of lands during these times.…

Join The Gist of Freedom as we talk to actress Winter Lee about her role in "Loving" a film which celebrates interracial love, marriage and family! WWW.blogtalkRadio.com/TheGISTofFREEDDOM.com 8pm ET RICHMOND, Va. — The story of Richard and Mildred Loving was made into a “major motion picture” it was filmed in Central Virginia. The Lovings were an interracial Virginia couple arrested in the 1950s for violating state law that prohibited interracial marriage. The couple sued, and in 1967, their case was heard by the United States Supreme Court. The movie stars Ruth Negga (World War Z, The Samaritan) and Joel Edgerton (The Great Gatsby, Zero Dark Thirty). “Mildred and Richard Loving were not political activists,” producer Nancy Buirski said. “They considered themselves to be an ordinary couple who loved each other and were willing to fight for the right to live together and raise their children in peace in their home state. We are grateful for the warm welcome we have received in Virginia as we seek to do justice to the story of this courageous couple.” Buirski also produced and directed The Loving Story, a documentary that aired on HBO.…

1:03:00Listen to the Audio Book Black Abolitionists, by Benjamin Quarles In Chicago, the response to the new fugitive slave law was swift and dramatic. To protect its members from “being borne back to bondage,” the group created a vigilance committee consisting of a black police force of seven divisions; each division had six persons who were to patrol the city each night to watch for slave catchers. On September 30, 1850, more than three hundred black Chicagoans gathered at Quinn Chapel. At the time, the city’s population was about 23,000 people (with only 378 blacks). The Liberty Association's greatest moment came when members stormed the office of the justice of the peace and freed several fugitive slaves who were awaiting transport south. Thousands of Chicagoans gathered to watch and cheer the event -- a noble and unheralded milestone in Chicago history.…

1:00:00Fintan O’Toole: The United Hates of America has raised its middle finger to the world Take down the Stars and Stripes. And raise in its stead the new flag of the United States: an all-white banner with, at its centre, a big fist with the middle finger raised. The US as we have known it, in all its gilt and glory, has become a giant insult: to women and people of colour, to its continental neighbours and its allies, to its traditions of enlightenment and scientific rationality, to a planet threatened by the climate change he denies, above all to its own intelligence. The sleep of reason, as Goya put it in the title of a famous etching, brings forth monsters. Who would have thought that the monster would be Donald Trump, such a risible opportunist, a loud-mouthed self-promoter who was as surprised as anyone else to find himself with a serious chance of power and who must this morning be secretly terrified of his own unlikely triumph?…

Donald Trump has a lot in common with former Confederates 120 years ago – urging his minions to go to “certain areas” on Election Day and “watch” who is voting - REMINISCENT OF THE TENSIONS WHICH LED TO THE NEW ORLEANS MASSACRE OF 1866 ? At a recent rally in Pennsylvania – a must-win state – Trump digressed from his text to remind his mostly white audience of this danger, urging them to go to “certain areas” on Election Day and “watch” who was voting. The implication, of course, was that they should challenge anyone who appeared to be unqualified. Nor was this a random remark. The Trump campaign features a website where supporters can sign up to become a “Trump Election Observer” and “Stop Crooked Hillary From Rigging This Election!” -------- VOTING RIGHTS TENSION LED TO THE NEW ORLEANS MASSACRE OF 1866: The state Constitutional Convention of 1864 gave greater freedoms to blacks within Louisiana but did not provide for black voting rights. Free people of color had long been an important part of New Orleans; many owned property and were seeking the vote. Republicans had the goals of extending the suffrage to freedmen and eliminating the Black Codes. ------ Alonzo Jacob Ransier In 1866, Ransier attended South Carolina’s first Republican convention and traveled to Washington with a petition from a Charleston meeting of the Friends of Equal Rights. While in Congress he fought for a civil rights bill, supported strong tariff laws, opposed arbitrary salary increases for federal officials, advocated term limits for politicians and petitioned for funds to improve the maintenance of Charleston harbor. Ransier defended the record of Black soldiers who fought for the Union during the Civil War, recalling their support for President Grant in his 1872 reelection bid.…

Alexander Hamilton's Great Falls in Paterson, NJ #CreoleHamilton The Broadway phenomenon “Hamilton” – Special airs Friday Oct. 21, 2016 on PBS Visit Hamilton's statue at The Great Falls in Paterson NJ! Vaughn McKoy, Esq. a Patersonian and PSEG corporate lawyer successfully advocated for the restoration of The Great Falls In Paterson, NJ. It is now a National Historic Site! After the Revolutionary War ended, Alexander Hamilton began promoting his views on the economic needs of the new nation. He was concerned over the lack of industry in the United States; during colonial times, it was prohibited by English law. Hamilton believed that a strong industrial system was the best way to help the United States gain financial independence and become a world power. The Great Falls was chosen because it was an imposing testament to the force of nature. In 1792, his organization purchased 700 acres of land above and below the Great Falls and established the city of Paterson, N.J.…

William Katz lectures on The Standing Rock Protest against the XL Pipeline and Black Lives Matter to the history uncovered in Black Indians. Why Black Lives Matter is fighting alongside Dakota Access Pipeline protesters On Aug. 27, Black Lives Matter activists from Minneapolis and Toronto traveled to the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, which straddles North and South Dakota, to support indigenous tribes protesting the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). And now, members of New York City’s most active BLM groups plan on visiting Standing Rock this week to prevent the proposed 1,172-mile, four-state oil pipeline from being built on Native treaty lands.

"Earliest known image of Jesus Christ, from the Coptic Museum in Cairo, Egypt. This painting of Jesus is older than the image of the black Jesus Christ in the Church of Rome which is from the 6th century. " A Church built into a cave in Egypt, is home to 70,000 Weekly worshipers. Saint Simon,is one of the world's oldest Christian Communities. One of the more populous groups are Egyptians who have retained their Coptic beliefs and established the largest Christian church in the Middle East. Other nearby caves have also been built into separate church spaces, and all of them have been linked to create a massive Christian complex. Since tourism through the scavenger’s village is not a thriving industry, reaching the Monastery of St. Simon is no small feat, yet as the largest Christian church, hundreds of thousands of people make the pilgrimage each year. -------- The Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria is the largest Christian Church in Egypt and Northeast Africa.

THE LINCOLN BRIGADE FIGHTS WORLD FASCISM w/ Author William L. Katz At this moment in history, in 2016, many feel more is at stake than the White House or the election of a woman as President of the United States. They point to massive state suppression of minority votersand even the youth vote. Wealthy corporations and individuals pick candidates and use money to winprimaries and elections. They see a connection between these events and the march of Fascism in Europe by Hitler and Mussolini in the 1930s. They see danger here at home. 80 years ago this year in 1936 Hitler and Mussolini began their first march into Europe during the Spanish Civil War. At the same time volunteers from countries around the world, including the United States, rushed to Spain to defend its Republic. These men and women were sounding a personal warning of the Fascist danger. This is the story of the American volunteers, black and white, who rushed to Spain in 1936, to put their bodies between the Republic and the march of world Fascism. They were telling their government and fellow citizens to wake up. A copy of "The Lincoln Brigade: A Picture History", by William Loren Katz and Marc Crawford, has been presented to U. S. President Obama by Spain's Podemos leader, Pablo Iglesias. The inscription reads: "The first Americans who came to Europe to fight against fascism were the men and women of the Lincoln Brigade. Please convey to the American people the gratitude of Spanish democrats for the anti-fascist example set by these heroes. Among them was Oliver Law, the first African American to command American troops. In memory of these heroes. An embrace, President Obama. Pablo Iglesias."…
