The Albert City Historical Museum

The town of Albert City is famous for many things. It is famous for its beautiful Freedom Rock. For antique tractor collectors it is home of the Thieman tractor. For me though, besides the Albert City Thresherman show, it will always be famous for its amazing Albert City Historical Museum! Albert City’s Freedom Rock.

In one of the most competitive races in years, 20 Days in Mariupol won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature tonight, earning director Mstyslav Chernov an Academy Award to go with a Pulitzer Prize.

The film from the Associated Press, PBS’ Frontline and GBH came into the night a slight favorite but faced a tough test from fellow nominees Bobi Wine: The People’s President, The Eternal Memory, Four Daughters, and To Kill a Tiger. The documentary, which premiered at last year’s Sundance Film Festival, centers on the harrowing siege of the Ukrainian port city of Mariupol in the early days of Russia’s full-scale invasion of the country. Thousands of civilians were killed in Russia’s assault.

On the Osar stage, Chernov, a native of the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, thanked his collaborators and said, “This is the first Oscar in the Ukrainian history. And I’m honored.” But with rising emotion, he quickly added, “I’m honored, but probably I will be the first director on the [Oscar] stage who will say, I wish I would never make this film. I wish to be able to exchange this [for] Russia never attacking Ukraine, never occupying our cities.”

The Oscar audience applauded as Chernov continued, “I wish to give all the recognition to Russia not killing tens of thousands of my fellow Ukrainians. I wish for them to release all the hostages, all the soldiers who are protecting their lands, all the civilians who are now in their jails. But I cannot change the history, cannot change the past. But we all together, among you, some of the most talented people in the world, we can make sure that the history record is set straight and that the truth will prevail and that the people of Mariupol and those who have given their lives will never be forgotten. Because cinema forms memories, and memories form history. So thank you all and thank you all. Thank you Ukraine, Slava Ukraini.“

The director shared the Oscar with producers Michelle Mizner and Raney Aronson-Rath. Chernov previously won the Pulitzer for his coverage of the war in Ukraine, an assignment in which he faced the risk of death on a daily basis. Documenting the war meant leaving behind his wife and two young daughters.

20 Days in Mariupol opens with a scene of a Russian tank swiveling its gun barrel toward a hospital, where Chernov and his team looked down from an upper floor.

“Exactly in that moment in the film, this moment of uncertainty, the moment when tanks are shooting at the residential areas, when the hospital is surrounded and we are trapped, I’m thinking about my family, about my daughters, the fact that I probably will not make it out alive,” Chernov told Deadline in an interview last month.

It was the second year in a row that the Oscar winner for Best Documentary Feature winner delivered an implicit rebuke of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The 2023 victor in the category was Navalny, Daniel Roher’s film about Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died last month while being held in an Arctic prison.

Billions of dollars in aid for Ukraine’s war effort against Russia have been tied up for months in Congress. President Biden made another urgent plea for passage of the aid bill during his State of the Union address last week. “If anybody in this room thinks Putin will stop at Ukraine, I assure you, he will not,” the president said. “But Ukraine can stop Putin if we stand with Ukraine and provide the weapons it needs to defend itself. That is all Ukraine is asking.”

By 1895, Princess Victoria was twenty-seven and Princess Maud twenty-six. 'Like Juno's swans, still couples and inseparable', ran one lyrical description, while their aunt, the Empress Frederick referred to them, with rather more accuracy, as 'two such Ducks!' Indeed, the two princesses were seldom seen apart. Pale carbon copies of their mother, but without her marvellous beauty, they looked alike, they dressed alike, they spoke alike. In company they were diffident although, according to Mary Gladstone, not at all 'stuck up' and in private they were playful. The two princesses, says one effusive observer, 'appeared so invariably together that they became a suggestive symbol of that close family life which is typical of our nation at its best, and nowhere finds greater expression than in the home life of the Royal Family’ | Grandmama of Europe : the crowned descendants of Queen Victoria by Aronson.

I'm reading Theo Aronson's A Family of Kings, about Christian IX's descendents and its making me think about why ISOTK's very English Annabeth would find being associated with modern political nation-state Greece so puzzling (a la Byron in Frederick Chase's parlour).

I'm now doubly (no triply) amused by all the modern royalty takes on PJO.

I think Annabeth's concern was being outed as a demigod more than anything else, hehe. Also, she was pretty pissed about Byron putting the moves on her. You don't get fresh with a Daughter of Athena and get away with it...

THAT BEING SAID...

SOMEDAY...@darkmagyk and I will inflict upon the world the AU of the AU we wrote for @phykios's birthday once that takes the Regency AU in an entirely new direction with regards modern Greece and it's Royal family 👀

In my experience, if Jacques-Fromental Halévy crops up in a music history class, it will be in connection with two points of interest.  1.  He composed the opera La Juive, which music history instructors like to trot out as a prime example of nineteenth-century French opera, and 2.  He was a Jewish composer whom Richard Wagner actually kind of liked.* Certainly if you went by the kind of music history teaching I received, you could get the impression that Halévy was just A Pretty Darn Good Composer, who just happened to be Jewish, a happenstance upon which the fact that he composed an opera called La Juive has absolutely no bearing.

But it did have some bearing!  Like a lot of Pretty Darn Good Jewish Composers, Halévy came from a cantorial family, and he knew his way around the liturgy, even the versions of it that emerged from the twin pressures of the French Revolution and Napoleon.  This is a choral setting of part of Psalm 118** that Halévy composed for his nephew’s wedding in 1858.  It was also used for a synagogue dedication in 1874, so one would imagine that it kept circulating for various events over sixteen years, and maybe built up some cachet to be used again rather than Halévy just composing something new for the occasion.

*I haven’t heard anything about what Cosima Wagner, the Natasha Fatale to Richard’s Boris Badenov, thought about Halévy.

**Psalm 118 is very long, and it has multiple jarring shifts of perspective, mood, and topic.  Noah Aronson thinks that Psalm 118 may be intended to represent the diverse thoughts of a whole crowd of people coming to the Temple for a festival, which is one of the better interpretations of it that I’ve heard.  But because it is so patchwork, not many people are inspired to set the whole thing to one piece of music.***

***That being said, if anyone were tempted to do that, I’d lay money that it would be a shape-note composer.

[successionyaoi]

what do you think about josh aronson/stewy?

A friendship, I think. A loose friendship based mostly on business. Basically they're acquaintances. I don't think Stewy has any close relationships beyond his immediate family and Kendall, and to a lesser extent the other Roys. They were definitely not fucking.

Congratulations on finding the Marie Adelaide biography!! Do you have any recommendations for biographies of/sources about the Danish royal family? I'm basing a character off of Prince Harald (son of Frederick VIII) and I want to get the details right <3

Oh, that sounds sooo exciting!! As for recommendations, so far I've only read Queen Alexandra biographies: Queen Alexandra by Georgina Battiscombe, The Life of Queen Alexandra by Sarah Tooley, Alexandra, Edward VII's Unpredictable Queen by E.E.P Tisdall - these mainly focus on Alix's parents Christian and Louise, but you'll also find information about the Danish royal family in general. Another one is Coryne Hall's Little Mother of Russia, a biography of Alix's sister Dagmar a.k.a Maria Feodorovna. I heard good reviews about A Family of Kings: The Descendants of Christian IX of Denmark by Theo Aronson & APAPA: King Christian IX of Denmark and His Descendants by Arturo E. Beéche and Coryne Hall.

I also found this list of biographies on Danish kings and queens!

Oh, and mustn't forget that 6 episodes documentary series about Christian IX's descendants 'A Royal Family' on youtube.

Hopefully this was helpful, good luck with your writing! ♡

Denise Jackson Ford attends Emmy Awards ceremony following nomination of ‘American Reckoning' -- the film about her father’s unsolved murder

By ROSCOE BARNES III

NATCHEZ, Miss. -- Denise Jackson Ford, daughter of slain civil rights leader, Wharlest Jackson Sr., recently travelled to New York to participate in the 44th Annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards ceremony for documentaries that included PBS Frontline’s “American Reckoning.”

The PBS program, which featured the story of Wharlest Jackson’s murder, aired on Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2022. It did not win an Emmy, but Ford said she was happy that it was nominated, and her participation was a good experience.

“Back in July of 2023, notifications were received from Brad Lichtenstein, president and producer of 371 Productions that our documentary film, ‘American Reckoning’ had been nominated for a News and Documentary Emmy in the category of ‘Outstanding Historical Documentary,’ Ford said.

“I had the privilege to accompany the team in New York on September 28 to be amongst the crowd of highly performed documentarians, finalists, and writers as well as producers.”

The awards ceremony was held at the Palladium Times Square in New York City. HBO Max’s “Hostages” won the Emmy in the “Outstanding Historical Documentary” category. Others in the running were CNN’s “Watergate: Blueprint for a Scandal,” Netflix’s “Meltdown: Three Mile Island,” and PBS’ “Waterman – Duke: Ambassador of Aloha.”

Ford said it was an honor to know that they made it to the nomination list for “such a great, prestigious award.” “I commend Brad Lichtenstein and Yoruba Richen, Stanley Nelson, along with the PBS Production team for the work, time and efforts put into this documentary to make history for our family,” Ford said.

“American Reckoning” was directed by Lichtenstein and Richen. The film is a feature-length documentary that tells the story of Wharlest Jackson Sr. and his murder in the Feb. 27, 1967, bombing of his truck by the Ku Klux Klan on Minor Street in Natchez. Jackson was the treasurer for the Natchez Branch of the NAACP. The Klan killed him, reportedly, because of his promotion to a job at Armstrong Tire and Rubber Company that had traditionally gone to white employees.

After multiple investigations, no one was ever held accountable for Jackson’s murder. The film presents new research as it chronicles the lives of Jackson’s family in their search for justice and for answers.

As noted by Frontline, “American Reckoning” presents “an extraordinary look at the civil rights era – the violence and resistance – through rare footage filmed more than 50-years ago in Natchez, Mississippi, and the still-unresolved killing of local NAACP leader Wharlest Jackson.”

The film, Frontline notes, “examines Black opposition to racist violence in Mississippi, spotlighting a little-known armed resistance group called the Deacons for Defense and Justice, woven alongside the Jackson family’s decades-long search for justice amid the ongoing federal effort to investigate civil rights era cold cases.”

In addition to Ford and her brother, Wharlest Jackson Jr., the film features Ser Seshsh Ab Heter-Clifford M. Boxley, and Stanley Nelson, author of two books on the Klan. “American Reckoning” can be viewed for free online.

The Emmy awards program honors programming content from over 2,300 submissions that originally premiered in calendar-year 2022, according to the program’s website. It noted the submissions are “judged by a pool of over 1,000 peer professionals from across the television and streaming/digital media news and documentary industry.”

Domestic violence is a huge problem that affects people of all ages, races, and genders. In an article written by DomesticViolence.org, it is states that 40-70 percent of female murder victims in the U.S. have been killed by their husband or boyfriend, usually with on ongoing history of an abusive relationship. This same article states that every 9 seconds another woman in the U.S. is being beaten. Why is domestic violence such a huge, yet unseen issue in the United States? There are several different reasons, and throughout this paper I will explore each of them in depth and raise awareness to this very serious problem our country faces.

First of all, one of the biggest reason domestic violence is such an unknown problem is because it predominantly happens at home behind closed doors with most cases never being reported to the police. This, however, does not mean that the problem does not exist and even spill into future generations. Along with the death percentages related to domestic violence, it is also the third leading cause of homelessness among families. Statistics show that 50% of all women who are homeless report that domestic violence is the immediate cause of their homelessness, according to The National Center on Family Homelessness. There are women with their children, living in the streets and shelter after shelter just trying to escape domestic violence. This leads into the next topic.

While it may seem that once a person escapes a domestically violent relationship they would never go back, however, that is very rarely the case. In an article written by Amanda Kippert, she states “Survivors may return to an abuser for multiple, complicated reasons and, according to a survey of 844 survivors by DomesticShelters.org, victims will leave and come back 6.3 times on average before leaving for good.” That is on average 6-7 attempts of back and fourth, of these victims feeling freedom and relief from their abuser, only to make the decision to go back to the abuse that will undoubtedly continue. Why does this happen? Why do women stay in these relationships so long, and go back once they escape? The problem is abusers use many different mind control like techniques on their victims.

There are many different angles and ways that an abuser can convince a victim to stay or even come back once they have left. These include Isolating their victims socially, Restricting access to information, Enforcing rules with punishments for “disobedience”, Blocking their partners from making decisions about things that matter, Keeping their partners sleepy and even malnourished, and gaslighting. Another very common tactic is Making a partner miserable and then comforting them which leads to trauma bonding. This is when the victim turns to the abuser for consolation, which reinforces their attachment, even though the abuser was the original source of the suffering.

The effects of these tactics have a huge impact on a victims health. In An article written by Lisa Aronson Fontes Ph.D, there are many quotes from survivors, such as “I felt like my brain was controlled by a computer chip.” “I couldn’t think for myself. I really couldn’t think at all.” “I looked in the mirror and felt like I wasn’t there.” “All the constant psychic pressure made me feel like trash.” Survivors are so accustomed to coordinating their lives around the abuser’s wishes. Sometimes they feel panicked, lost, and empty when this central person is “gone.” This is one of the main causes of victims returning to the abusive relationship.

Furthermore, another reason women tend to stay in these dangerous, deadly, domestic violence relationships is that a lot of people believe and are under the impression that domestic violence is only physical. Even many victims have admitted to not seeing the other forms of abuse as “real”. According to an article by Reach Team, there are six forms of abuse. Physical, sexual, verbal/emotional, mental/psychological, financial/economic, and cultural/identity. Physical abuse is the most commonly known abuse, however contrary to popular beliefs, it does not make any of the other forms of abuse less “real” or painful.

All of these forms of abuse vary from each other, but victims often experience multiple forms throughout the domestic violence relationship. Physical abuse is the most well known form of abuse, which includes punching, kicking, slapping, biting, even reckless driving and invasion of personal space can be considered a form of physical abuse. While sexual abuse can be a form of physical abuse, it can include both physical and non-physical components. It can involve rape or other forced sexual acts, or withholding or using sex as a weapon. An abusive partner might also use sex as a means to judge their partner and assign a value, such as criticizing or saying that someone isn’t good enough at sex, or that sex is the only thing they’re good for. Because sex can be so loaded with emotional and cultural implications, there are any number of ways that the feelings around it can be uniquely used for power and control.

Next, I would like to touch on verbal/emotional and mental/psychological abuse, which also often go hand in hand together. Verbal or Emotional abuse can be any type of degradation or humiliation. As one survivor puts it, “My ex-husband used words like weapons; like shards of glass, cutting and slowly draining my life, until I had nearly none left. I didn’t think I was abused because he didn’t hit me- usually… I had begun to believe his awful lies- how worthless I was, how stupid, how ugly, and how no one would ever want me.” This can be very similar to emotional and psychological abuse as words are also a way it is used. Mental or psychological abuse happens when the abuser, through a series of actions or words, wears away at the other’s sense of mental wellbeing and health. It often involves making the victim doubt their own sanity. The effects of verbal/emotional abuse are harder to spot, and harder to prove. Emotional scars can often take longer to heal.

Finally, the last forms of domestic violence I would like to address is financial/economic and cultural/identity. Because abuse is about power and control, an abuser will use any means necessary to maintain that control, and often that includes finances. Whether it is controlling all of the budgeting in the household and not letting the survivor have access to their own bank accounts or spending money, or simply not letting the survivor have a job and earn their own money, this type of abuse is often a big reason why someone is unable to leave an abusive relationship. Cultural abuse happens when abusers use aspects of a victim’s particular cultural identity to inflict suffering, or as a means of control. Not letting someone dress customs of their faith, using racial slurs, threatening to ‘out’ someone as LGBQ/T if their friends and family don’t know, or isolating someone who doesn’t speak the dominant language where they live – all of these are examples of cultural abuse.

In conclusion, I believe that domestic violence is a very serious and common problem that our country faces, and I truly believe these rates and statistics need to be dramatically lowered. Awareness to victims needs to become more prevalent. As serious as physical abuse is, all six forms of abuse need to be recognized. More importantly, domestic violence victims need to know that they are not alone. That they deserve better, and that there is help and resources out there. More survivors, like myself, must put their stories of success and surviving out there. I believe with this change, a difference can be made in so many victims lives and give others the courage to leave for good. It took me three times to leave my abusive relationship. It is my goal to help others who have been in situations similar to mine to leave. Whether it be their first time, fifth time, or eighth time, I want to help make it their final time. Together as humans, I believe a difference can be made.

Lee Aronson Awarded First Place For Writing!

The North American Mature Publishers Association has just awarded Lee Aronson first place for his writing about senior issues in his monthly column for The Best of Times, a free monthly magazine for mature adults in Northwest Louisiana. Some of Mr. Aronson’s columns for 2020 include:

The Case of the Abandoned Corpse

The House without Running Water and the People who Wanted to Live There

They Left a Sponge in Me

Oil Field of the Dead

Don’t Call Me Fat

Cock Fighting for God

The Judges, an independent panel of faculty from the internationally respected University of Missouri School of Journalism, which is generally considered one of the top journalism schools in the world, had this to say:

The state of Louisiana might have oodles of fine qualities, but it also has a slew of unexplainable laws that might land you in jail. Lee Aronson takes a stroll through the list, which will surely make readers shake their heads. On the other side, it’s not enough to just ignore obvious flaws in contracts. What could go wrong? Plenty, and it’s your job to be ahead of the game. Terrific advice throughout about how to proceed lawfully in an approachable and understandable tone.

Founded in 1994, the North American Mature Publishers Association is a non-profit association of publishers producing newspapers and magazines for the boomer/senior market. Currently, the association has 108 member publications throughout the U.S. and Canada whose combined readership exceeds 4.5 million per month.

Lee Aronson is an attorney at Gilsoul & Associates, LLC, an elder law and estate planning law firm. He has been practicing law in Shreveport for over 30 years and can be reached at (318) 524-9966 and at lee@gilsoul-law.com.

When Lee first graduated from Tulane law school, he went to work for a little known State agency out of The Office of the Governor called The Mental Health Advocacy Service. There he saw first-hand what a devastating effect Alzheimer’s and other mental illnesses have not only on a patient, but also the patient’s entire family. People who had worked hard all of their lives but had not planned properly ended up in nursing homes against their will while their families struggled emotionally and financially.

Lee then went to work for Legal Services of North Louisiana, a non-profit law firm. And again, he saw families with heartbreaking stories. The clients that affected Lee the most were the children or grandchildren trying to help a loved one but were running into red tape and legal obstacles. And to make matters worse, sometimes those legal obstacles were caused by the parent or grandparent having paid for bad professional advice.

In order to help, Lee practiced in many different areas of the law, including health care law, consumer protection law and housing law. By necessity, Lee also practiced in more obscure areas of the law such as property tax law and burial and cremation law.

Michael Flynn's Holy War (full documentary) | FRONTLINE

PBS Frontline

Oct 18, 2022

How did Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn go from being an elite soldier overseas to waging a “spiritual war” in America? An investigation with the Associated Press. This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate. In “Michael Flynn’s Holy War,” FRONTLINE and the Associated Press examine how the retired three-star general and first national security adviser to former President Donald Trump has emerged as a leader in a far-right movement that seeks to put its brand of Christianity at the center of American civic life and institutions and is attracting election deniers, conspiracists and extremists from around the country. Drawing on interviews with 125 people, including Flynn’s family, friends, critics, current and former colleagues — and Flynn himself — the documentary illustrates how Flynn’s influence has grown since the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol — and how his pedigree and military career, combined with his connection to high-powered, well-financed political groups, have allowed him to travel the country and advance his movement since January 6. In the run-up to the 2022 midterm elections, “Michael Flynn’s Holy War” is a revealing look at the rise of one of the Republican party’s most active and polarizing political allies, and what his growing influence might mean for future U.S. elections. “Michael Flynn’s Holy War” is supported by Preserving Democracy, a public media reporting initiative from The WNET Group. The documentary is a FRONTLINE production with Midnight Films, LLC in partnership with The Associated Press. The director and writer is Richard Rowley. The producers are Paul Abowd and Jacqueline Soohen. The reporters are Michelle Smith, Paul Abowd and Richard Rowley. The correspondent is Michelle Smith. The international investigations editor for AP is Ron Nixon. The editor-in-chief and executive producer of FRONTLINE is Raney Aronson-Rath.
