Darryl Maximilian Robinson Suggests Summer Reading of Works by The Mahatma Gandhi

The Mahatma Gandhi, the founder of the greatest, most peaceful, non-violent movement against authoritarian rule ( by The British Empire ), was assassinated ( by gunfire ) for preaching civil resistance and an end to classism in India. He inspired millions around the world, including Nobel Peace Prize Winner, the late, great African-American Civil Rights Leader The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ( who was also assassinated by gunfire ) to peacefully and civilly protest wrongs committed by The American Government.
It is therefore not entirely surprising, a generation after an assassination attempt on the life of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, that an assassination attempt has now occurred on an individual who has frequently preached and provoked violence ( including an insurrection at The U. S. CAPITOL ) with absolutely no regard or respect for THE CONSTITUTION or democracy or civil rights or human rights at all.
AND EVERY AMERICAN VOTER REGARDLESS OF RACE, RELIGION, COLOR, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, POLITICAL PARTY OR ECOMONIC CLASS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE WITHOUT THREATS OR INTIMIDATION OR VIOLENCE!
And this commentator has no doubt that by showing the World the greatness of AMERICAN DEMOCRACY, those who followed the path of Ghandi would be proud.
Many ofthe literary works of The Mahatma Gandhi are easily accessible and free for perusal online.
Here also is a film trailer regarding his extraordinary life.
Enjoy.

Remembering The Great And Highly Regarded Mr. William Daniels in '1776'! Theatre Lovers And Supporters, The History of our nation is very Important, including American Theatre History. In 1969, the versatile and skilled actor William Daniels became the first thespian on Broadway to decline a Tony Award nomination.

William Daniels had received a 1969 Tony Award nomination for Best Featured ( or Supporting ) Actor In A Musical for his acclaimed portrayal of...

Theatre Review: ' THE FRONT PAGE Is A Fun Romp Through An Old-Timey Newsroom ' by Therese Dersch

Theatre Review: 'THE FRONT PAGE Is A Fun Romp Through An Old-Timey Newsroom' by Therese Dersch Note: "The Front Page" was presented by The Culver City Public Theatre July 13th through August 4th of 2024 at The Carlson Memorial Park in Culver City, California. The Production recently closed. This is a post-production notice by an audience member. "The Front Page," the play the film "His Girl Friday" is based on, was first produced in 1928. Written by two former Chicago reporters Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, one wonders what craziness was going on in the newsrooms of the time that inspired it. The Culver City Public Theatre production is charming, silly in the best Monty Pythonish way, and laugh out loud funny. The story centers around reporters working the police beat in Chicago. One of them, Hildy, plans to leave the newspaper business for what she feels is a more respectable life as a wife to an insurance salesman. Life, as oft...
