Slaves In The Family with Edward Ball
Slaves in the Family with Edward Ball
If you knew that you were a descendant of a slave- owner, would you tell anyone?
If you had an opportunity to apologize to descendants of those enslaved by your family, would you?
Edward Ball is a writer of narrative nonfiction and the author of five books, including The Inventor and the Tycoon (Doubleday, 2013), about the birth of moving pictures. The book tells the story of Edward Muybridge, the pioneering 19-century photographer (and admitted murderer), and Leland Stanford, the Western railroad baron, whose partnership, in California during the 1870s, gave rise to the visual media.
Edward Ball’s first book, Slaves in the Family (1998), told the story of his family’s history as slave-owners in South Carolina, and of the families they once enslaved. Slaves in the Family won the National Book Award for nonfiction, was a New York Times bestseller, was translated into five languages, and was featured on Oprah.
Edward Ball was born in Savannah, raised in Louisiana and South Carolina, and graduated from Brown University in 1982. He worked for ten years as freelance journalist in New York, writing about art and film, and becoming a columnist for The Village Voice.
His other books, all nonfiction, include The Sweet Hell Inside (2001), the story of an African-American family that rose from the ashes of the Civil War to build lives in music and in art during the Jazz Age; Peninsula of Lies (2004), the story of English writer Gordon Hall, who underwent one of the first sex reassignments—in the South during the 1960s—creating an outrage; and The Genetic Strand, about the process of using DNA to investigate family history.
Edward Ball lives in Connecticut and teaches at Yale University.

Exploring Sacred Space with Kristen Ann
What is Ascension and is it taking place now? Are we about to embark on a new world? Yes, says Kristen Ann, author of Exploring Sacred Space: A Vast Quest. She reveals the cycles earth has gone through every 25,920 years as well as what ancient civilizations prophesized for our future. How are extraterrestrials involved in our reality? During the 1970s she investigated the baffling ET case of Dan Fry in Tonapah, Arizona. Dan was given extraordinary facts about our history and earth's future.
Kristen has spent a lifetime studying spirituality and metaphysics. Her life has been one of unusual experiences, encounters and constant "coincidences" and synchronicities. A near-death experience as a child later sent her on a quest to learn spiritual truths in the 1960s. She learned TM (Transcendental Meditation) from TM instructors in 1970 at age 15. In the mid '70s she studied Anthroposophy, which is the science and findings of Rudolf Steiner from 1974-76.

Kidults...Kid-Adults
Close your eyes and picture an adult.I picture Ms.Johnson my third grade teacher. Its nice to picture her,but why did I have to go so far back to envision a model of adulthood? Simple, we're defintely arent seeing much of it in todays pop-culture community. It seems we are living in a world ruled by KIDULT. You have 28yr old Katy Perry,whos obessed with nail art,sings about getting drunk and posting silly pictures.So many adults are reading Adult Young Fiction. St. Martins Press is launching a new genre of book-NEW ADULT.Itll appeal to the legions of 20 to 30 something YA fans, these books include real sex,but the plots are just as simple as YA ones. Adulthood used to be simple.You finished school,got married,started a family, moved to the burbs and bam, u were an adult! If your a young woman today your mother would have likely had all the things mentioned by your age.The fact is WE are just waiting longer.The average first time marriages for American women is 27, ten yrs ago it was 25.In 2011 the average age of first time home buyer was an elderly(lol)34,in 1960s it was 23!So at that age great aunt Judy was picking out tiles,you're likely slamming shots and fighting with your roommate over dirty dishes.Dont be fooled the slipperness of modern adulthood can be detrimental if you let the adolescent mind-set linger too long.Theres a lot to be done between 20 and 40. Not everyone wants the same things,but youd better get on achieving what you think will make you happy. Look to Mindy Kaling creator of The Mindy Project for inspiration whos character is a successful ob/gyn who has Hunger Games-themed checks and eats cereal out of wine glasses.Shes an example of a kidlike adult whos making it work,on her show and in real life.dont think of the transition yrs as thrownaways,start making goals. You dont have to be fully there to be grown-up, you just have to live your life in an intentional way.And you Can do it while devouring YA novels and listening to Katy Perry.

Wake Up America And Face The Dragon...Lawrence Live!
As an American I have experienced the changes in this country that frankly have citizens of all ages disenfranchised about the direction this country is taking politically. The slow agonizing erosion of morals, values and Christian religious freedom should be a priority and a form of disaster control for all Americans. But to do so first the people need to completely understand the years of conservative silence that attributed to this spiritual decay. Years after I served my country with the Army Corp of Engineers, I found myself compelled to write a book pointing out to the reader where and why America went wrong which started most of the deep rooted problems. America should face the Dragon of Liberalism and truly understand what actually politically transpired in the 1960s. These ideas used in this book are spoken from a war veterans point of view as it pertains to the political hoax portrayed on the people that has not been faced, once understood it will light a new way of the future.

WEBBWEAVER BOOKS: JULIE MANNIX VON ZERNECK & KATHY HATFIELD
Actress Mannix and her daughter, Kathy Hatfield, recount the saga behind a separation of more than 40 years that began when Julie was forced to give up her newborn baby for adoption. Mannix was 19 when she gave birth, but in the more conservative moral climate of the 1960s, since she was unmarried, she was forced to give up her baby. The married father deserted her; her parents turned against her; and, with the connivance of a doctor, committed her to a mental institution on a flimsy pretext. Strength of character pulled her through, and after being released, Mannix took the first steps in her movie career. All the time she pined for the child she had given up. Julie later reconciled with her parents and married her lover, producer Frank von Zerneck, who had since divorced his wife. Kathy was brought up by loving foster parents and only found out in her teens that she was adopted. Kathy later married, and after her stepfather died, she set out to find her biological parents. The debut autobiographers alternate in telling the stories of their lives right from early childhood, which reads almost like a fairy tale but which is resoundingly true. Mannix's life in the Philadelphia institution, and her insights into the patients' lives there, bring out the bleakness of institutional life, particularly shock therapy. She led a life apart from the rest of the world; on the day the world was transfixed by JFK's assassination, she was being transferred between hospitals. A particular strength of the narrative is the two distinct styles of writing; each author states her own point of view simply, without embellishment. The reunion is similarly understated, which makes the meeting even more poignant. Shining through both narratives is goodness and the power of the human spirit. A dually narrated, uplifting tale on overcoming profound adversity.

Unexplained Radio - Sharon Day, Guest
Sharon Day
Popular blogger of “Ghost Hunting Theories,” paranormal investigator and author of several books including “Abandoned Places: Abandoned Memories (Desert Edition),” “Zombie Housewives of the Apocalypse,” “Zombie Housewives of the 1960s,” “Paranormal Geeks,” “Was That a Ghost?” and “Growing Up With Ghosts.” Sharon grew up in an actively haunted home that was a Civil War Hospital for both the North and South during the war. That experience fueled her passion for all things unexplained. She is well known for her humor and her outside-the-box questioning of the popularly accepted and rarely questioned beliefs in the paranormal realm. Her driving forces are to help demystify the unexplained, turn magical thinking into scientific thinking, help clients to reframe their experiences in actively haunted homes, and make everyone question the old ways and seek theories and concepts that replace fear with wonder. She is sometimes referred to as the “Mind Sniper” because of her Mind Tuesday series that tosses out theories that open up a whole new way of looking at the supernatural.

Barbara J Dzikowski - Searching for Lincoln's Ghost
Searching for Lincoln's Ghost is Barbara J. Dzikowski's debut novel. She earned an undergraduate degree in philosophy and a graduate degree in counseling from Indiana University. These areas of study fueled her desire to create "philosophical" fiction that closely examines the human heart and its complex search for love and meaning. After living on both coasts for several years, she returned to Indiana where she currently serves as the program director for a social service agency. Fascinated by the passion, idealism, and lost hope of the 1960s, she has just completed her second novel, "Losing Is Still Ours," a story about two families struggling with the changes and uncertainties of that decade, with a particular focus on the cataclysmic year of 1968. She is in the process of writing her third novel, "Show Me the Way to Go Home," a sequel, which features a character going through Alzheimer's disease and how his disease impacts the entire family.
