"Billie features newly unearthed interviews from those who knew Holiday best — Charles Mingus, Tony Bennett, Sylvia Syms and Count Basie among them — and features performances restored into color for the first time."

I spent an entire year working on the documentary and restored around 112 photographs that were never seen in color before (needless to say - huge honor).

I'm so excited for you to see the result!
And the story itself is amazing. I think you'll love it.

Joseph Goebbels foi um dos membros mais devotos do Partido Nazista, dono de uma retórica extremamente violenta, racista e antissemita.

Ele foi um elemento fundamental do regime, uma peça indispensável no funcionamento do Terceiro Reich.
O objetivo do Ministério da Propaganda era centralizar e obter poder total sobre a forma como a informação chegava ao povo.

A propaganda nazista era difundida através de todos os meios de comunicação: livros, rádio, filmes, através da música, do teatro, do cinema, das escolas.
Logo no início, Goebbels teve a percepção de que a mensagem seria espalhada de forma mais eficiente se o Ministério da Educação trabalhasse em certa sintonia com o Ministério da Propaganda.

Assim, as escolas se tornaram ambientes de doutrinação.

Spinet, 1540, Italian.

The musician who commissioned this instrument was Eleanora della Rovere (daughter of Isabella d'Este), who grew up in a cultivated court where both religious and secular music would have been heard and performed.
Her commission of this instrument and the price paid are recorded inside the case ("Ordered and made for Her Excellency the Duchess of Urbino in the year of our Salvation 1540 and paid 250 roman scudi."), but the name of the maker is not known.
Over the keys is a line of poetry meant for the musician's eyes: "I'm rich in gold and rich in tone; if you lack virtue, leave me alone."

Community Power Figure: (Nkisi)
19th–20th century

This imposing standing male figure is the joint creation of a skilled carver and a trained ritual practitioner, or nganga (pl. banganga). Across Central Africa, such ritual specialists are major patrons of such power objects.
Acting as intercessors between ancestral spirits and the living, minkishi were intended to benefit the entire community. The creation of a nkishi was a public event that brought together the community, a skilled carver and experienced nganga.
Chiefs and elders commissioned the nkishi and the community was responsible for cutting the tree selected for the carving. Both the carver and the nganga had to be well established in their respective professions.

Corbyn in The Times
@TimesCorbyn
What better judge of a person than their peers?

For decades, Labour Party MPs & members tried to keep Corbyn as far from the levers of power as possible, as demonstrated by Shadow Cabinet & NEC elections.

On his 1st try in 1986, Corbyn got 31 votes, coming 3rd from last. 1/8
He was up to the heady heights of 39 votes (7th from bottom) in 1987. 22 votes behind newcomer Tony Blair, but less than half of the 88 for Gordon Brown the rising star of the Party. 2/8
Back on usual form in 1988, coming last with 31 votes.

Gordon Brown topping the list with 155 votes, this time joined by Blair in the Shadow Cabinet with 111 votes. 3/8

As MSM becomes more comfortable discussing Trump in the context of organized crime/mafia/mob, I'd like to give a simple review of how television polarized this issue about him, long ago.

Let's explore what happened to US - you & me, when a mobster played CEO on TV...

- THREAD -
1. NYC is an incredible place. But it has a real problem. A dangerous problem.
It's soaked in organized crime. In the mob.
It has been for a century.
So, folks there know the mafia all too well. It's in their family. Their businesses. It's on the ladder to their dreams...
2. They touch the mob - day in, & day out. This is life for them. It's normal. The mob is the city and the city is the mob.
So, Donald Trump - all his life - was just another mobbed-up crook to them. A con man. They knew his game, & shrugged it off.
And then a TV show happened...
