[dimsum]

Jon Stewart interviews Ta-Nehisi Coates on his latest book.

 

[Kirkhill]

Humiliation is a powerful motivator.

Published in 1738 on the return of Thomas Pellow after 23 years of slavery to Sultan Moulay Ismail of Morocco



Written and performed for the first time in 1740

"Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."

"Rule, Britannia!" is a British patriotic song, originating from the 1740 poem "Rule, Britannia" by James Thomson and set to music by Thomas Arne in the same year.It is most strongly associated with the Royal Navy, but is also used by the British Army.

....

A lot of people have sworn "Never Again!" Some many times.

I look forwards to hearing more of the continuing education and growth of Mr. Coates.

...

As Jon Stewart said - 10,000 years of looking for solutions.
