![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tom Cotton to strip federal funds from schools that teach the 1619 Project or critical race theory. As she notes, the accompanying backlash has been vigorous, including attempted laws by the likes of Sen. Hannah-Jones and colleagues consider a nation still wrestling with the outcomes of slavery, an incomplete Reconstruction, and a subsequent history of Jim Crow laws and current legal efforts to disenfranchise Black voters. ![]() It may have been White people who enslaved them, but apart from the legal and constitutional paperwork, it was Black people who resisted and liberated themselves and others, from their very first arrival at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619 to the very present. The 1619 Project was intended to introduce Black people into the mainstream narrative of American history as active agents. A book-length expansion of the New York Times Magazine issue that explores the history of slavery in America and its countless toxic consequences.įamously denied tenure at the University of North Carolina for her critical journalism, Hannah-Jones sounds controversial notes at the start: There are no slaves but instead enslaved people, a term that “accurately conveys the condition without stripping the individual of his or her humanity,” while the romantic plantation gives way to the more accurate terms labor camp and forced labor camp. ![]()

![]() ![]() The Pott Family find themselves out exploring the rural English countryside one day when things take a slight detour and Chitty begins showing off her wonderful capabilities (as many will know, cars prefer to be 'she' and Fleming discusses this). This vehicle appears somewhat standard in appearance but seems to have a personality all its own, down to its name, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. ![]() One that has been left to the side catches their attention and soon the Potts have a vehicle of their own. ![]() Commander Pott brings his wife (Mimsie) and twins (Jeremy and Jemima) along to find a vehicle that might suit them. After selling one of his ideas to a local confectionary, the Potts head out to purchase their first family car. Commander Caractacus Pott has a long history of inventing things, which provides limited success and forces the family to gather round in times of financial strain. ![]() While most famous for his work on creating Agent 007, Ian Fleming wrote this classic children's story many years ago, which entertains as much as it captures the interest of many young readers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() We think she may have been PCR positive or else contracted leukemia from a cat that had recently been exposed but was still showing negative. Before that, she lived as Top Cat in the house area and ruled with a kind paw. Volunteers always have a cat nestled in their laps, and the staff provide loving care.Ĭookie’s Place is named after Cookie Princess Warrior who contracted leukemia at age 12. Warm breezes fill the deck spaces and, if it gets too hot or too cold, the cats simply hop up on a chair or a bed in their climate-controlled room. Chairs, benches, hidey spots, and shelves abound in each area. ![]() One of the rooms is called Cookie’s Annex because it is separated from the other two rooms and is home to the cats that are timid, shy, or just need a little quiet space. Cookie’s Place consists of three large rooms filled with windows, each with an attached screened deck to laze about on. It is the largest area in the Sanctuary since we have so many FeLV+ residents. Cookie’s Place is a happy place, filled with love and light. ![]() |
