Rest Archives: How Octavia Butler, Rosa Parks & Shirley Chisholm Practiced Rest & Relaxation

On this episode, we’re exploring rest and relaxation — two things that deserve a lot more time, energy, and focus in our day to day lives. I’m curious — how do you rest? Seeking inspiration, I started digging through the archives, and I found surprising and delightful examples of rest practiced by my favorite authors and leaders: Science Fiction Novelist Octavia Butler, Civil Rights Leader and Activist Rosa Parks, and Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm. From long hikes and yoga to dancing and writing poetry, these luminaries have rest covered.

Family Archives: The Human Beings Subjected to the USPHS Study of Untreated Syphilis at Tuskegee

Let’s continue our journey through family archives and the US Public Health Service Study of Untreated Syphilis at Tuskegee through the lens of the “participants…” rather the unknowing subjects of the study. In this episode, I explore who the men were as people, what they meant to their families and their communities, and how they lived their lives. Special thanks to Joyce Tyson Christian for sharing reflections about her beloved father, Freddie Lee Tyson, and for more information about Voices of Our Fathers Legacy Foundation, visit voicesforfathers.org.

Family Archives: Granddad, the CDC, and the USPHS Study of Untreated Syphilis at Tuskegee

When Arzell Lester entered the CDC as a laborer in 1961, he had no way of knowing that his 25 year career would culminate in being appointed director of the health benefits program and approving the medical claims of the men subjected to the U.S. Public Health Service Study of Untreated Syphilis at Tuskegee. Explore granddad's archives in this episode as he comes face to face with the infamous study.
