The Keeper of Memories
The Keeper of Memories In the small town of Albury, nestled between rolling hills and quiet lakes, lived an elderly man named Thomas. For as long as anyone could remember, Thomas had been the town’s unofficial historian. He was not a historian in the formal sense; he held no degrees, no scholarly titles. But what he did possess was an irreplaceable gift for remembering and storing the memories of people who had once lived, loved, and left their mark on the town.

A Conversation, Part One:
With just the introductions made by the producer of Soul, Ellis Haizlip, I was immediately taken aback. Every time I hear, watch, or read something from the past made by Black people, I feel a sense of belonging and how amazing it must have been to live in and experience that time. It is quite "duh" that slavery and fatal oppression were an enormous smear on the whole thing, so really, I speak of these past century fantasies and aspirations in imagination, without the impossible-to-survive circumstances we were dealt, either by the greater forces out there or, according to the Blackroots books by an anonymous author - the circumstances we dealt out to ourselves. The Blackroots books can be spoken of through a multitude of audio, visual, and written pieces, hopefully coming in the future of my work.

The Mysterious Heritage of the Anasazi
Throughout the course of human history, societies have typically flourished in regions characterized by plentiful water, food resources, and natural defenses. However, certain groups have demonstrated remarkable success in environments that would be deemed nearly uninhabitable by contemporary standards. One notable example is the Anasazi, also known as the Ancestral Puebloans, a Native American culture that thrived over a millennium ago in the arid terrains of the American Southwest. Through remarkable ingenuity, the Anasazi constructed stone and adobe settlements on cliff faces and plateaus, establishing an architectural and cultural heritage that continues to captivate historians and archaeologists to this day.

Pelagius of Asturias
The narrative of Spain is characterized by extraordinary accounts of perseverance, leadership, and endurance. Among its initial heroes was Pelagius of Asturias, referred to as Pelayo in Spanish. Despite his humble origins, he rose to prominence as a revered king and emblem of defiance against the Moorish invasion of the Iberian Peninsula. The significance of Pelagius' tale lies in its initiation of the lengthy Reconquista, a Christian effort to reclaim territories governed by Muslim authority.
