Walking in the Founders’ Footsteps: Sigma Gamma Rho in Indianapolis, 1922 offers a rare look into the social and political climate experienced by African-Americans in the “Crossroads of America” during the years following the first World War. At the time Indiana was often referred to as the “most northern Southern state” because its public policies were more like the states of the Deep South than that of its Great Lakes neighbors. In the midst of this climate, on the east side of Indianapolis sat Butler University, named for a local attorney, newspaper publisher, and abolitionist, Ovid Butler. Butler was the driving force behind the school’s values of diversity, inclusivity, and equali ...

We were a nation born of the people, by the people, and for the people. But our road to freedom was a rocky treacherous path, fraught with obstacles, pitfalls, and detours. Steel is hardened in fire. Soldiers are forged in battle. Leaders are made in crises. Prior to COVID-19, we took all outbreaks of disease seriously but we took them in stride. But something changed, we changed when we were confronted with COVID-19. Draconian measures were forced on our citizens. Neighbors turned against neighbors, family against family. They closed our Churches. Politicians enforced their edicts with Gestapo like tactics. The freedom that patriots fought and died for had been summarily stripped away. ...

Deer. Bears. Boo-Boos. And a big brown dawg. Fifty years after the original manuscript was typed, this memoir of life in the old Oneida Post Office in Washington state finally comes to light, with all the humor, zest for life and love of animals that Arlie Fauver brought with her to Oneida in the early 1950s. “Who in the hell would buy that place?” was Arlie’s first reaction to the ramshackle old building that would later become her family’s home – a home full of fun, friends and laughter; heartache, loss and trouble; and critters of all descriptions.
