Our podcast today has as it's special guests prominent Attorney Delano S. Stewart, an outspoken. Civil Rights Leader in the State of Florida for over 50 years, and Pastor Michael Neely, Senior Pastor/Founder of the New Millennium Community Church.  Our focus today is the evolving legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.   Some of the questions that we will seek to answer is how has our country benefitted from Dr. King's example and leadership?  Has the African American Communites adapted the principles of Dr. King and are those principles relevant for this generation.  Additionally, we will contrast and compare how Dr Kings principles provides tools to effectively battle the racist tendencies of our current President of The United States, Donald J. Trump. Most importantly, how do we maintain Dr Kings principles of brotherhood and love in today's Trump Hysteria

 

 

 

Author Emma Palova joins ACVN to discuss her second collection of short stories “Secrets.”  This is Book 2 of the Shifting Sands Short Stories series.  “Secrets” is a collection of 15 short stories; two of them are historical fiction.  Many of the author’s stories are based on her journalistic experiences . Some of the real-life stories we could never publish because we had no corroboration from the witnesses. Today, the newscasts say whatever without any attribution. We have no way of verifying the truth behind the news. That wasn’t always the case. Plus, if you live in a small town, you have to live by hometown rules. We all know each other. We keep our houses and cars unlocked. We know who lives where, and who slept with whom. We know it, but we don’t write about it. These are all workable ideas for me: things unsaid, stories untold and people hurting. I like to combine fiction with realism. It’s called magic realism spiked with surrealism.
