Plantation Ecology Podcast

No Hate In Our States

This is a fascinating listen!

This podcast is described as follows: “Conservationists in South Carolina are transforming old systems of oppression into practices that preserve land and create habitat for an extraordinary number of birds.

"In the final episode of this season, Host Ari Daniel tours the marsh at the Nemours Wildlife Foundation with Dr. Drew Lanham, Cultural and Conservation Ornithologist, at Clemson University. 'They bring us a story of time travel: of touching a place through old hands and seeing it through new eyes; of honoring a people for the incredible work they did; and, finally, sharing how that work continues today and how it is reflected in the birds that call this place home.'"

"The Trial of the Chicago 7" - No Hate In Our States

12/31/2021

"The Whole World Is Watching!"
Watch The Trial of the Chicago 7

No Hate In Our States

In 2020 Netflix released The Trial of the Chicago 7 about the activists protesting the Vietnam War at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. Based on the official transcripts of the trial and numerous interviews with participating activists, the movie is fascinating and moving. From Smithsonian Magazine: "Aaron Sorkin’s newest movie dramatizes the clash between protestors on the left and a federal government driven to making an example of them."

The Official Trial of the Chicago 7 Podcast is an important supplement to the movie. "The [podcast] series features conversations devoted to the significance of events in 1968 and the trial, and the parallels with what’s happening in America today, as well as discussions with Sorkin and the actors and creative minds that realized the world of the film." You should be able to find it as a free podcast where you listen to them. In one of the episodes (all under an hour of time), Jill Wine-Banks, former Assistant Watergate Special Prosecutor, states, "We have to stand up and speak in defense of democracy no matter what the danger is because the danger of not speaking up is that we lose the democracy." Sound familiar?

Zelly’s phone was charging in a friend’s car when the friend was pulled over, his car searched, and a small amount of marijuana found – enough to warrant a misdemeanor charge. Zelly’s phone was taken into evidence. Ever since, he’s been trying to get his phone back.”
