Typhoon Chan-Hom was passing over the northeastern waters of the Philippines and heading to northern Taiwan, dumping heavy rains over the capital, Manila, and the northern provinces. The Philippines suffered flooding and mudslides last weekend from Tropical Storm Linfa, the fifth storm to hit the country this year and the first after a long, dry summer. Southeastern provinces in China were alerted about possible flooding and severe weather this week from both approaching storms.

Frantz Fanon was born in Martinique in 1925

Image
 Frantz Fanon was born in Martinique in 1925. As a young man, he volunteered to fight in de Gaulle's army for the liberation of France, and trained to become a doctor and psychiatrist.  His experiences as a black man under French colonial rule had a profound effect on him. In 1952, he wrote Black Skin, White Masks, a vital analysis of the effects of racism on the human psyche. His final work, The Wretched of the Earth, influenced by his experiences in the Algerian war, was published in 1961 just before he died at the age of 36. It has proved to be one of the most controversial yet influential books of our time.  The Rebel's Clinic is a searing biography of his short and harrowing life, and a brilliant, nuanced exploration of his ideas, whose legacy is still so powerful.

Did you know Clint Eastwood once worked as a logger before landing breakout role in Hollywood? In 1949, Clint Eastwood left Oakland Technical High School to take up a risky outdoor job. He became a logger at the Weyerhaeuser Company Mills, where his father also worked. Eastwood relocated to Springfield, Oregon, where he was paid $1.80 an hour, a substantial wage at that time, for his work in tree felling. Eastwood shared his lumberjack experiences in the 1992 biography "Clint Eastwood: Sexual Cowboy" by Douglas Thompson. He recounted a particularly dangerous moment while on the job: “I heard a shout and looked up and saw the crane driver and I hadn’t quite got it organized,” Eastwood said. “A nasty load of giant logs hung suspended over my head. I don’t think I’ve reacted faster in my life. Yet even as I started to run, down came the logs. Any one of them could have crushed the life out of me. I just barely jumped clear- as the logs hit the ground they jammed against the cran...

In recent years, too many in the African American community have expressed

In recent years, too many in the African American community have expressed a disconnect to Holocaust topics, seeing the  genocide of Jews as someone else’s nightmare. After all, African Americans are still struggling to achieve general recognition of the barbarity of the Middle Passage, the inhumanity of slavery, the oppression of Jim Crow, and the battle for modern civil rights. For many in that community, the murder of six million Jews, and millions of other Europeans, occurred in a faraway place where they had no involvement. However, a deeper look shows that proto-Nazi ideology before the Third Reich, as well as Nazi-era policy and Hitler’s post-war legacy, deeply impacted Africans, Afro-Germans, and African Americans throughout the twentieth century. America’s black community has, in fact, a mighty stake in this topic. Understanding the Nazi Reich and the Holocaust is important for blacks just as it is for other communities, including Roma people, people with disabilit...
