“History is written by the victors” is a well-known quote often attributed to Winston Churchill. In war, that certainly is true, as the victors almost always write the history. In societal struggles, what seems to happen is that those who “come out on top” get to choose what is taught as history. With respect to racial matters in the United States, that decidedly has been the situation, as the struggles of people of color (whether Native Americans, Asian Americans, Latin Americans, or African Americans) have, more often than not, simply not been a significant part of historical studies in American schools. This is true, whether it is the story of The Trail of Tears, the oncelegalized discrimination against Asian immigrants, the history of slavery from 1619 through the end of the Civil War, or further, in the case of all Black people, the struggles precipitated by the immense failures of Reconstruction and the imposition of Jim Crow. It is this last cataclysm that is most pertinent to the retelling of Easter, 1906.

Grammy award winner, multi-instrumentalist and lead singer of the former Frank Zappa band Napoleon Murphy Brock and the Ensemble Musikfabrik are releasing an impressive concert recording of the Zappanale 2019 with "Bad Doberan & Elsewhere".

2015 solo album from British space rock veteran Dave Brock. Dave is best known as being one of the founders and musical focus of the English space rock group Hawkwind. Brock is the only member of the group to have been a constant throughout the band's history. The follow-up to 2012's Looking For Love In The Lost Land Of Dreams, Brockworld is described as "an eclectic compendium of psychedelic rock songs, interspersed with evocative instrumentals and experimental tunes." The album was written and performed almost entirely by Brock. Brockworld is bursting with vivid ideas, a dynamic outpouring from a musician always seeking new sounds and different techniques.
