Howard Zinn said, in 1970, "The problem with the World is not civil disobedience… The problem with the world is Civil obedience". It is our duty as civilians to hold those in power accountable to their actions; to ensure a brighter future for our children and our children's children. When we see actions that will compromise the planet that our children will inherit, it is our duty to speak up.
When I learned about the government of Jamaica's plans to sell off part of the country's largest Protected Area to a Chinese company to build a massive transshipment port, I was shocked. I recognize that the issue is complex, and I understand that the government has crippling debt. I understand that $1.5 billion in the bank is a tempting prospect. But by selling Goat Islands, the government of Jamaica is selling off a piece of all of our future.
I was asked to help those fighting the proposed development in Jamaica by generating international publicity around the issue. Essentially to shine the spotlight on the illegal actions of the Jamaican Government (for they will be breaking over a dozen laws by going ahead with the project) and hold them accountable. People wanted more transparency and accountability from the government, and they wanted to know why, of all possible locations, Goat Islands?
I published an article in National Geographic Newswatch, and contributed my images to stories published in the Guardian, Huffington Post and beyond. Any day now, CNN will be publishing an Op Ed piece on the issue.
Our target audience for our message is ultimately the Jamaican government. And so, to make sure they were hearing us loud and clear, on the evening of 3 June, 2014, we gathered a crowd outside the Embassy of Jamaica in Washington, DC, and projected images, messages, and video onto the front of the building.
Here are some video and images from the evening. Read the following Blog Post for more images and information about the project.

Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga
Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga (NBRY) is an evocative Sanskrit phrase indicating "Great success after breaking the shackles of lowliness". Simply put, it assures a very good rise for anybody from a disadvantaged position.
Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga – Conditions
There are quite a few combinations given for this, but we don't need a Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga Calculator for this 🙂 The most effective ones are as follows, mentioned along with the probability of their occurence
- Lord of debilitation sign is in a Kendra from Lagna – 4/12
- Kendra from Moon too is mentioned. Use only if Moon is very strong…
- Lord of debilitation sign is exalted or occupies own sign – 3/12
- There is an exalted or swakshetra graha in the same sign – 1/42
While some see neecha bhanga raja yoga in Navamsa also, I think it is stretching it a bit too far. Proving its efficacy in navamsa is a further deterrent for this.
Benefits & effects of Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga
The effects are best seen during the Dasa and Bhukthi (major and minor) periods of the grahas combining to produce this yoga. If the grahas involved are the Lagna lord or the 10th lord, then the results would be seen through one's entire life.
Examples of Celebrities with Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga
The rarest (1 in 500) and therefore the most powerful case is when all three happen simultaneously.
Barack Obama is the best example for this. All three conditions are fulfilled and are at their fullest strength. Saturn, lord of Jupiter's debilitation sign is in Lagna Kendra, placed in his own sign and Vargottama. This cancels Jupiter's debilitation in a resounding manner and propelled him from a disadvantaged position to becoming the US President for two terms!
Narendra Modi is another splendid and similar example. Mars, lord of debilitation sign of Moon is in Lagna Kendra and placed in his own sign. This lifted him from a commoner to become the Prime Minister of India. The post on Horoscope of Narendra Modi covers this in detail.
Queen Elizabeth II is another intriguing example. She was never in the line to become the queen, till all of a sudden her uncle abdicated to make her father the king! I always wonder whether it was the great strength of her and her dad King George VI's horoscopes that led to this event!
David Cameron, the British PM, is an example of just Neecha Bhanga without causing a Raja Yoga. Mercury, the dispositor of debilitated Venus satisfies neither of the first two rules. Nor is the third rule satisfied.
Does Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga really work ?
The examples given above are the best proof for this! Even without the NBRY, both Obama and Modi have strong birth charts promising a substantial rise in life. But it is this extra factor which has given their rise a touch of drama and speed taking us by surprise.
Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga Calculator?
I think the combinations are simple enough for somebody with a minimal knowledge of astrology to figure it out. But the general public may have to struggle a bit? See if you are able to identify whether this combination exists in your horoscope by date of birth.« Back to Glossary Index

Rhode Island freight rates Rhode Island freight rates are very steady throughout the entire state. Generally speaking, inbound truckload freight shipping is more costly than outbound Rhode Island freight rates. Rhode Island freight can consist of industrial fabrications, boat building freight, as well as some agricultural production. Expect steady freight prices in Rhode Island all year. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Rhode Island can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
Mississippi freight rates Mississippi freight rates are higher in the summer months, especially outbound freight shipping, due to the agriculture and produce markets. When produce comes into season, trucks can be hard to find. A better time for shipping freight to Mississippi is during the summer. Mississippi has some under-populated areas that make LTL prices average to high in the state. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Mississippi can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump didn't fare well in a presidential debate that saw him attempt to fend off a variety of low blows.
As fellow GOP hopefuls Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz finally managed to land some proverbial punches on the frontrunner for the party's nomination during the 3 March Fox debate in Detroit, we round up the more enjoyable insults thrown at Trump.
1. "We are not going to turn over the conservative movement of the party of Lincoln and Regan to someone who thinks the Nuclear Triad is a rock band from the 1980s," Rubio.
2. "The Democrats tell me all the time I can get the crossover votes... and people tell me wherever I go – you seem to be the adult on the stage," John Kasich.
3. "He has spent a career convincing Americans he is something he's not in exchange for their money, now he's trying to do it in exchange for their country," Rubio.
4. "You argue that you're here to fight on behalf of the American worker, but when you have the chance to help American workers you're making your clothes overseas and hiring workers from overseas," Rubio.
5. "I think the American people understand that yelling and cursing at people doesn't make you a tough guy," Cruz.
6. There's a difference between flexibility and telling people whatever you think you need to say to get them to do what you want them to do – and that's what Trump has done throughout his career," Rubio.
7. "If we nominate Donald, we are going to spend the spring and the summer with the Republican nominee facing a fraud trial," Cruz.
8. "Donald learn not to interrupt, it's not complicated. Count to 10 Donald, count to 10," Cruz.
9. "Donald has a tenuous relationship with the truth," Cruz.
10. "I know it's hard not to interrupt, Donald, but you can do it. Breathe, breathe, breathe, you can do it," Cruz said. "When we're done with the yoga can I answer the question," Rubio responded. "I hope we don't do yoga on this stage," Cruz replied. "Well he (Trump)'s very flexible, so you never so," Rubio said.
11. "The next president cannot be... someone who has simply not shown an intellectual curiosity or interest in learning about these very complicated issues, and Donald hasn't," Rubio.
Despite the unusually virulent attacks from his fellow nominees, Trump was not discouraged, hitting back at the idea that he couldn't beat Democrat frontrunner Hillary Clinton, stating "I have not started on Hillary yet, believe me," referring to Cruz as 'lying Ted' and declaring "Rubio is quite frankly not a leader".
Trump also used the beginning of the debate to hit back at allegations he has small hands, stating "Look at these hands – are they small hands? He [Rubio] referred to my hands as small, saying then something else must be small, I guarantee you there is no problem, I guarantee it."

REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. (WHNT) - Update: The employees of Missile Defense Agency in the Von Braun III complex are instructed to return to work tomorrow, Wednesday, May 1, 2013 no earlier than 7:30 a.m.
Workers in the Missile Defense Agency's Von Braun III, Building 5224, were evacuated Tuesday morning after someone found a powdery substance.
Colonel John Hamilton, Garrison Commander of Redstone Arsenal, said an employee brought the substance in and it somehow spilled on the floor. The woman was taken to the hospital as a precaution but wasn't showing any negative effects from it. It's not yet clear if the unidentified worker even knew she was carrying the mysterious powder, which later tested negative for toxic components. She is not being called a suspect by base officials.
Colonel Hamilton said forensic teams tested the substance and determined it to be non-toxic, but he did not specify what the substance was. He said the decision to evacuate the building was not taken lightly.
"We made the decision for safety reasons to evacuate the building and shut down the air conditioning system," said Col. Hamilton. "Our professionals that are first responders are trained to treat that like a worst-case scenario. When we don't know what it is, we act like it is a bad substance. Fortunately, tests have shown it was not one of those toxins."
Colonel Hamilton said the Arsenal hopes to have everyone back in Building 5224 by Wednesday morning, but that is not confirmed yet. The incident remains under investigation.
Employees in the building were authorized an excused absence earlier in the day.

I'm trying to understand the (more than) various EC2 options at Amazon AWS.
In the documentation, they describe what each utilization type is best suited for, along with what hardware the instance will run on (small, large, extra large).
What I want to know is what is the technical difference between the different utilization types? What am I really buying?

July will see Manchester Art Gallery open a year-long exhibition dedicated to the influential 20th and 21st century design emerging from Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.
The show will include furniture, fashion, lighting, ceramics, glass, metalwork, and jewellery originating from across Scandinavia from the 1930s to the present day. The work of a number of celebrated Nordic designers, including Alvar Aalto, Arne Jacobson, and Verner Panton, will sit alongside a range of contemporary work.
"Designers and makers from the Nordic countries have been, and continue to be, at the forefront of exploring new ideas, materials and techniques which have made good, affordable design available to a wide constituency, underpinning a philosophy of democratic and cultural life for all people," says a representative of the gallery. "The influence of Nordic design can be seen in contemporary art, graphic design, textiles, high-end and high street fashion, advertising and homewares. It has had a major impact on contemporary design and lifestyle commercially, informing the way we live and the things we buy."
An events programme will include designer-maker talks and workshops, festive and mid-Summer events, as well as family activities.
Nordic Craft and Design runs at Manchester Art Gallery 6 July 2018 – 7 July 2019.

Barn weddings are becoming an increasingly popular choice, with many brides dreaming of a rustic, countryside wedding oozing elegant charm and character. Barns are a fabulous option for those wanting a unique venue, which can be personalised and transformed to reflect you as a couple.

2) Blackstock Barns
Nestled just outside the Sussex countryside village of Hellingly, Blackstock Barns has become a popular wedding venue. Blackstock boasts two beautiful barn venues for couples to choose from.

Just a stone's throw from St. Mary's Church – this venue is in a perfect location for those who are wanting a church wedding, followed by a barn reception!

We love this venue's family feel and bespoke wedding service, which really focuses on each individual couple and their personal requirements.

The Cripps Barn Group have a variety of unique, glamorous barns across the Cotswolds for couples to choose from. They offer a stunning range of wedding venues, offering different styles, capacities and locations to suit different requirements.

Are you an expat working and living in Thailand? Or are you preparing to move soon to Bangkok, Pattaya or any other of the Thai international hotspots?
Expat life in Thailand has much to offer and provides a great intercultural experience – from discovering the countryside like the countless islands in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, learning how Thai people celebrate Songkran festival, up to tasting Thailand's favorite dishes such as phad thai.
However, InterNations does not only address expats in Thailand. We have brief overview guides for various locations around the world – from living in Malaysia to living in Russia.
Moving to and living in Thailand requires a wealth of up-to-date, trustworthy information on various aspects of Thai expat life. Living abroad in Thailand raises a lot of questions such as: ʺHow do I find the best relocation services for moving to Thailand?ʺ, ʺWhat are the consequences of overstaying one's visum?ʺ, ʺWhich international school in Bangkok should our kids attend?ʺ or, ʺHow do I obtain a work permit for my spouse at the Thai municipality in Chiang Mai?ʺ
Collecting all that information on working and living in Thailand is quite laborious and time-consuming. Our InterNations Expat Guide for Thailand aims to help you and provides you with reliable info on those topics that matter to expats living in Thailand. The Guide includes information on many different areas ranging from sports and leisure, to local infrastructure or embassies and consulates, up to international schools. Typical questions related to expat life abroad, such as ʺWhat should I do if I happen to lose my passport?ʺ, will no longer remain unanswered.
Are you curious about expatriate living outside Thailand? Then read more about our various expat guides, such as living in Iceland or living in USA!
Moreover, our expat directory for Thailand includes recommended listings of expat institutions and relocation services, e.g. chambers of foreign trade or nannies and baby-sitters. As a member, you'll also be able to share your experiences of living abroad in Thailand with your fellow expats on the InterNations Forum. We are looking forward to welcoming you with a heart-felt Sawùt dee from our expats living and working in Thailand.

BC: ...Forever in our hearts | In loving memory of Dave Brookbank | July 22, 1960 - September 28, 2011
FC: Gone, yet not forgotten...
1: No Farewell words were spoken, No time to say goodbye, You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why.
2: What the heart has once known, it shall never forget

Nov 30, 2010 | Written by Patricia Murphy
Taking Dad to Peru
Do you ever put off a phone call because you just don't want to do it? It's easy. Tell yourself you'll do it tomorrow, that you'll have more time to prepare, you'll be in a better mood, you'll have your papers in order.
Today I made a phone call that I have been avoiding. I called Gina Berg at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine to ask her if my father's cremains are ready. Although the paperwork tells me that it usually takes 2 years after the date of death to receive cremains, (and it has only been 13 months since Dad died), I called early because I really want to take a pinch of Dad's ashes to Peru. He loved traveling so much that I can't even imagine going on the trip without him.
Good thing I called. Gina said Dad's body was used by third year surgical students to practice exploratory techniques. Dad would have totally geeked out over that. I'm so proud of Dad for donating his body to the medical college that I plan to follow in his footsteps when my time comes.
In the meantime, I can't wait to show Dad Peru!

Creation of TEFA Badge
With many ideas running through the minds of the people initiating TEFA, the football crest at the time of the creation had to be a temporary crest in order to participate in the VIVA World Cup 2012 in the shortened time period.
TEFA seeked the help of the NF Board to create the logo with their ideas. Mr. Gonzalo Parada of CSNAF helped create the first TEFA crest. Recommended first by Secretaire General of the NF Board, the idea was to create a temporary crest to participate in the 2012 VIVA World Cup. Eventually creating a permanent crest for TEFA with the help of Tamil Eelam residents after.
The image from the 2012 VIVA world Cup shows the crest made by Mr. Parada. The Leopard image was used because it is the national animal and represented athletic ability. The colours represented the National flag of Tamil Eelam.
Here are some of the crests created by Mr Gonzalo Parada
Thank You Mr. Gonzalo Parada for your great contribution in creating our first temporary crest in 2012. This has inspired a new crest for Tamil Eelam Football Association.
TEFA is proud to present the new football crest for TEFA. Created by youths in Tamil Eelam, their ideas and drawings of what it should look like were gathered. The most popular idea was the leopard, national animal of Tamil Eelam. Our Eelam Tamil artist gathered the drawings and completed a professional crest. The TEFA commitee is very thankful and gracious for those youth in Tamil Eelam and our Eelam Tamil artist who made this crest a reality.

The "Secret" is Out- Chocolate Chip Cookies
Hello, everyone! First off, I would like to apologize for being a bit of blog hermit... it's been a while since I've blogged regularly, so I'm a kind-of bad with the whole 'checking back regularly thing' but I promise I'll make it part of my daily computer routine: Sluggy Freelance, Questionable Content, Blogger, then e-mail. Yay.
Next, put your flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon into one large bowl. The largest you have. Then mix it all up. You can use a whisk if you want, but I tend to use a wooden spoon and that does the job pretty well.
You may want an extra set of arms to take over halfway through. If you've done it right, it takes a bit of arm strength to mix it all up. Making cookies almost once a week for three or four years has made me pretty strong...
When your cookies are done, wait about 3-ish minutes before transferring them to some lovely wire racks. This is better accomplished with a spatula than with your hands.

Your tax season did not start this year on January 1 as it always has in past years. Instead the earliest you can file your 2013 forms is January 31, 2014. The IRS needs the extra lead time to get ready because they were a part if the government shut down last September. That does not change the April 15 final filing date, nor any other payment due dates.
The delayed filing date probably will impact your business only if you operate a bookkeeping service or are a seasonal tax preparer. A friend told me of an independent tax professional who contacted him with a pre-tax offer, for a small downpayment now he will do a pre-tax assessment to see to see where my fiend stood. The balance is due at the final filing. I predict that this tax guy will go far as an entrepreneur. He is a problem solver for himself and his clients.
The tax guy's pre-tax peek may bring a few surprises to his customers. Here is what you can expect to see on your return when filing season starts:
- If you are among the higher income taxpayers don't be surprised to learn you will pay more for 2013 and in 2014.
- Individual taxpayers earning $450,000 or for married couples filing jointly, will pay 39.6% tax.
- In 2014, all tax payers must have health insurance, either private or through the Affordable Care Act. So unless you meet certain criteria, you will have to pay up. IRS calls this a shared responsibility payment. Call it what you will, it will cost you either 1% of your taxable income or a flat fee of $95 per uninsured adult and $47.50 per child (up to $285 for a family) per month, whichever amount is higher. This 'shared responsibility' skyrockets in 2015 and 2016.
- Home office expense has been simplified for the self employed. The deduction is equal to $5/square foot of home office space – up to a maximum of 300 square feet. It's an easy calculation, but if you prefer, you can still figure out your own expenses and pro-rate them.
- Last year, Section 179 expense deduction allowed business owners to take expense costs of up to $500,000 of qualifying assets, but in 2014, the limit drops to $25,000.
- Also gone this year is the deduction of up to $4,000 for qualified tuition and related expenses that you paid for yourself, your spouse, or a dependent.
Moreover, 55 tax breaks expired at the end of 2013 so to avoid more surprises, this year especially, check with a tax professional before filing your taxes. What was a great deduction last year may be disallowed this year.

My suspicion is that what happened in Mississippi was too personal and painful for Corbett to turn into a book. But I have come to believe that there has never been a better time for this story to be told. (Pre.5)
Hmm…is it just us, or does it seem like Alex Cross is talking about racism in modern society? He makes sure to point out how timely this book is, which makes us think about whether racism is something that has gone away or if it still exists. There might not be lynchings like in the book these days, but some of these issues linger on.
"Just remember one thing, Ben. That was a black boy who helped us. He was the only one who helped." (9.20)
As Ben tells us about his mom getting sick, he remembers an important detail about that experience. His mom made sure he knew it was the Black boy who saved her. It might seem like she's focusing on race a lot, but this helps Ben battle segregation and inequality later on.
"I'm not a selfish woman. I admire the cases you take, really I do. I want the poor people and the colored people to be helped. But I also want something for my girls and me. Is that so wrong?" (11.8)
Meg wants her hubby to help people out, she just doesn't want it to keep coming at her expense. In other words, fighting racism comes at a price no matter your skin color.
"The white man doesn't hate the colored man," he said. "The white man is just afraid of the colored man." (20.16)
This is one theory about why there are problems between the races, but it leaves us with a bunch of questions. What exactly is the white man afraid of? Does fear explain white people's actions in the text? We can't help but wonder if this is more of an attempt at justification than an actual explanation.
The War between the States had been officially over for forty-three years but had never actually ended in the South. The Confederate battle flag still flew higher than Old Glory, at least at our courthouse. (36.13)
That would be the Civil War being talked about here. Importantly, we can see that ideas about race go way back—so it's not just a matter of telling everyone to get along. Ideology and notions of different races formed over several generations and are hard to change.
"See, when you're colored, you always about this close—" he held up his fingers, indicating a tiny space—" to sayin' the wrong word. Or lookin' the wrong way. And that means you this far from gettin' beat up, or kicked, or punched, or cursed. Or gettin' strung up and killed by the KKK." (38.7)
Abraham warns his grandkids about the unfair rules for Black people in the community. It's a sad truth, but he has to drill this into them to keep them safe. The reality is that these kids are perceived as different before they even open their mouths to speak, and it's dangerous.
The warning Ben receives is on the back of a photograph of a man being lynched. It's disturbing, to say the least. Not only does the photo seem to parade around the fact that lynching is taking place (scary), it also shows how dangerous Ben's operation is. Just by investigating lynching, he's aligned with Black men and women, and as such, against white men. Or that's how the White Raiders see it at least.
Judge Corbett and men of his class had gradually enshrined that inequality in law, and the highest court in the land had upheld its finding that "separate but equal" was good enough for everybody. (92.8)
According to Ben's dad, Black people have it just fine. Who cares that they aren't integrated into society and work like slaves for white men? That should be good enough. Even judges and police officers in town think racial equality is a joke.
"This case is not about race. It is not about the black versus the white. This case is much easier than that. It's a simple matter of justice." (103.22)
Despite what Jonah wants the jury to believe, every case is about race in Eudora. It's clear that Black citizens can't get a fair shake because of their race, which makes justice little more than an illusion for them.
"Nearly every one tells me the lynching reports are greatly exaggerated. There are no lynchings in their towns or districts. The Negro is living in freedom and comfort, and the white southerner is his boon friend and ally." (14.5)
At first, we're not sure what to believe: President Roosevelt claims that politicians report back no lynching or problems in the South, while newspapers give gory details about them taking place. It's clear that race is an issue, we're just not sure how big of an issue at this point.
"If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." He snapped the Bible closed with a flourish and held it high in the air. (3.17)
Quoting the Bible is a nice touch. After all, it stresses the importance of telling the truth and not lying to people. But we'd also like to point out that this is just a tactic. The lawyer isn't really interested in the truth, or what the Bible says about it for that matter; he's more interested in getting Gracie thrown in jail and hanged. Truth is just a façade he's using to do that.
"I'll let you in on our destination before we commence— the Kingdom of Truth. Few who set out on the journey toward the Kingdom of Truth ever reach their destination. But today, gentlemen, I can promise you, that is where we shall arrive." (3.7)
In Ben's first trial, the opposing lawyer, Carter Ames, makes a big show of finding the truth. He even comes up with a cool catchphrase about it ("Kingdom of Truth"), but he's not fooling anybody. Ben points out that Carter hides behind the truth to get the jury to like him and support his side of the case.
"You and I are living in two different marriages, Ben. It's the truth, a sad truth. I'll admit it," said Meg. (11.2)
Ouch. When Meg lowers the book on Ben about their marriage, he's shocked. It seems like he was completely unaware that his wife felt this way. Notice how Meg makes sure to say this is the truth as a way of lessening the blow. No one is calling her a liar, but it helps make her case.
"What in hell is the truth— the absolute truth? And what can a president do to stop these awful things from happening?" (14.12)
Leave it to President Roosevelt to question what truth is. In some ways, the whole book is an exploration of this question. Ben is searching for it on his mission; Abraham and his friends want the truth of their unfair treatment to be acknowledged and changed. Yet the White Raiders don't seem to think their account of events is even factual. So what is truth? We'll leave that one to you, Shmoopers.
Besides being funny, every word he spoke was the absolute truth. The bigger the lies he pretended to tell, the more truthful the stories became. (56.9)
When Ben and Elizabeth go to see Mark Twain, Ben makes this observation his favorite author. Even though Twain writes fiction, Ben thinks about his tales as truthful because they speak about real-life situations and emotions. This suggests that truth is about more than what technically takes place.
"What are you doing?" I said. "You can't hang him, he might be telling the truth!" I felt my whole body shaking. "Why don't you look into what he says?" (79.4)
When the KKK wants to hang a man for supposedly lying about selling land, Ben is outraged. He's not sure who is telling the truth about the land, but it doesn't matter because no one should just kill someone because of a lie.
"That is right, gentlemen of the jury. A bedtime story. We have two versions being told here. Mr. Curtis has told you a fairy story, and I have told you the truth. As God above knows it to be!" (104.31)
Loophole Lewis manages to poke holes in Jonah and Ben's case, not because it's weak, but because he's used to spinning the truth to his advantage. He makes sure to call their side a tall tale so everyone recognizes the fiction in it. Truth can be distorted and manipulated until people aren't sure what's the truth and what's a lie.
In that steamy courtroom, ripe with the smell of sweat and Rose of Sharon eau de toilette, the good people of the Eudora Quarters took the stand and swore to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. And they did. And then Maxwell Lewis ripped them apart. (112.13)
During the trial, truth stands out. Why? For one thing, everyone is told to tell the truth on the stand. For another, Lewis is lying through his teeth left and right. It's sad for Ben to realize that the truth doesn't matter as much as a believable, well-told story in the courtroom.
"Oh, Moody. Those jurors have lived here their whole lives. They don't care who's telling the truth and who's lying! The phony warrant? Some of the jurors were probably down at the town hall when Eversman was writing it up." (115.25)
Jonah appreciates that Moody wants to help them, but he points out that she's misunderstanding things. After she lies on the stand to help their case, Jonah tells her that no one even cares about the truth of what happened that night, so there's no use in trying to uncover it or share it with anyone.
"The people who wash your clothes and pick your crops can tell the truth. The truth is not based on how much money you have. It's based on…the truth." (122.21).
During Lewis's summation, Ben is outraged. Not only does the guy lie, he insinuates that only rich, white people can tell the truth or even know the difference between the truth and a lie. Even though his response is only in his head, he tells us that truth is objective, end of discussion.
He strode to the prosecution table and lifted a worn brown Bible. He opened it to a page he seemed to know by heart and began to read aloud. (3.17)
Like all lawyers in the book, Carter Ames knows the value of quoting from Bible to win a case. Here he makes sure to drive the point home to the jurors that what he's saying is in the Bible, so it must be right. His assumption that his jurors care about what the Bible teaches shows how important religion is in this town.
As a boy I'd walked past those churches a thousand times. I'd heard the clapping and the fervent amens. Now that had all gotten blended in with a fast-march tempo and the syncopated melody of the old work songs. Mix it all together, speed it up, and somehow, from that corner of the South, down around where Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas meet up, the music came out ragtime. (7.10)
As Ben thinks about what religion meant as a kid, he comes up with this mental picture of church. It's full of happy songs and loud choruses. Religion means something a lot different to him now, but it's interesting to see how exactly this has changed.
"These are papers I've been collecting on the situation: reports of the most horrible occurrences, some police records. Things it's hard for a Christian man to credit. Especially since the perpetrators of these crimes are men who claim to be Christians." (13.12)
President Roosevelt is shocked that Christian men could hang people for no reason. Perhaps that's because the Bible teaches not to kill people. Yet his outrage also shows the hypocrisy in society: even though some men claim to follow the Bible, they are as racist and violent as they come.
We kept far enough back so as not to be seen. I had not been a very religious boy up till then, but I found myself praying for George Pearson to get away. Please, God, I thought, make George run fast. (16.5)
When Ben sees George beaten in the streets as a kid, he prays. Notice how he says he wasn't very religious, but he still thinks about praying because he doesn't have any other options. We're not sure Ben has changed very much when it comes to religion, but we do know he believes some sort of god is out there listening to him.
"Ain't no Jesus," she said. "There ain't no Jesus for me." She wept so terribly I could not hold myself back. I knelt by her in the clearing. (43.11)
One of the many heartbreaking moments in the book is when a woman (Annie) weeps over a body and seemingly has no hope left. Her comment that Jesus isn't there for her strikes Ben as sad because religion is important in this town. But you know what else is important in this town? Hurting Black people all the freaking time. So we get why a Black person might have a crisis of faith.
I have prayed much about this matter, and have spoken to my father about the situation. I should have known. Meg had consulted the one god in her life, the almighty Colonel Wilfred A. Haverbrook, U.S. Army, Ret. (44.14)
The Dear John letter from Meg reveals how Ben's wife thinks of her family and religion. It seems like she cares more about what her dad says than anyone else. Ben doesn't get why he's such a god to her—or why she would take his word over the Bible's, for that matter. It bugs him, to say the least.
"We had slavery when I was a boy. There was nothing wrong with slavery. The local pulpit told us God approved of it. If there were passages in the Bible that disapproved of slavery, they were not read aloud by the pastors." (56.13)
Mark Twain points out that religion and racism aren't mutually exclusive. It might be disturbing to think about, but many pastors didn't say anything against slavery when it was going on. His point? Sometimes religion doesn't have all the answers we need in life.
"The white man killed Hiram!" he hollered again. "But my friends, we are not like the white man! We cannot allow ourselves to be like that. The Bible tells us what to do. Jesus tells us what to do. It's plain to see. We have to do as Jesus did, we have to turn the other cheek." (63.10)
At Hiram's funeral, the pastor reminds the congregation how they should behave. Even though they read the same Bible as the white members of the community, they act much differently—the people from the Quarter seem to actually follow the ideas in the Bible, whereas many of the white folks in Eudora ignore biblical ideals whenever it suits them.
The men stood around in their white sheets with their hoods off, conducting the most ordinary small-town meeting. They discussed the collection of dues, a donation they'd recently made to a widowed young mother, nominations for a committee to represent the local chapter at the county meeting in McComb. (77.19)
How much the Ku Klux Klan resembles a church is a shock to Ben. They seem to genuinely care about their members and their families, and they even take up a collection for the widows, just like some churches do. It's troubling to Ben that an organization that promotes violence and hate (read: the KKK) could be so similar to one that supposedly preaches peace (church).
To my child's eyes the old Pike County Courthouse looked exactly like a church. The second-floor gallery where the colored people got to sit was like the choir loft. The benches below were the pews. And my father stood at the high altar in the front of the room, delivering thunderous sermons and running the whole thing like a very strict minister who happened to wield a hammer instead of a Bible. (97.3)
It's interesting that Ben pictured the courthouse like a church when he was young. So does that make his dad god-like? And if so, whose interpretation of the Bible does he fit into most neatly?
"I had the bone-handle carving knife in my hand. Not for her—I don't know, just in case of something. When she run at me, I turned. She run straight up on that knife, sir. I swear I never meant to do it." (6.27)
Gracie tells Ben that she did actually kill her boss. Oops. This is a big moment for Ben, who worries about racial bias in the court system, only to find that his client lied to him. He feels betrayed when he learns she actually did the murder in the first place.
I know that my decision may strike you as a terrible mistake on my part. Yet I believe it is the only correct solution to our dilemma. We must be honest with each other and ourselves. I think it best if you do not come home at this time. I will be in touch with you by post or wire, as I begin the steps necessary to bring about a most painful but inevitable result. (44.16)
What could be more of a betrayal than when Ben's own wife ditches him? The letter from Meg wounds Ben deeply, not because he isn't anticipating it (because let's face it, he is), but because he doesn't want this news from his wife. He expects Meg to be by his side forever.
But inside, I felt another, more disturbing pain. I had been beaten and left for dead. I had disappeared from the world, and hardly anyone had come looking for me. I mattered to virtually no one. Meg. Elizabeth. My father. My daughters. Jacob, my childhood best friend. The entire town of Eudora. I had mostly been forgotten. (71.4)
Poor Ben. After his lynching, Ben is physically hurt of course, but his emotional wounds can't be stitched up. He feels that no one cares about him anymore, plus he feels betrayed by his friends and family in Eudora. They aren't there for him in the way that he wants them to be.
"Maybe you'll see that we ain't all monsters," he said. "We're just family men. We got to look out for our women and protect what's rightfully ours." (77.15)
Jacob claims this about the KKK. He believes there's nothing wrong with being a klansman because everyone in Eudora is. With that, Ben realizes just how different the two of them have become: Jacob is contributing to violence against Black people, while Ben is working hard to fight it.
If Jacob hadn't been a friend my whole life, I would have punched him right then. "Listen to yourself, Jacob. You just killed a man. Do you hear me? You killed him." (80.11)
After the hanging, Ben tries to reason with Jacob, but it does no good. Check out what he says about Jacob being his friend his whole life—it's the only thing that stops Ben from sucker punching his buddy right in the face. Even though Jacob deceived him, Ben still thinks of him as a friend and treats him that way, too.
"Elizabeth," I said. "You already are a help to me. Just knowing that I have your support and trust means everything to me." (111.11)
When she offers to help, Elizabeth seems sincere…or at least that's how she seems to Ben. We can't help but wonder whether his judgment is clouded by the fact that he was once in love with her and still thinks about her romantically sometimes, though. It's only because Ben is overly trusting that Elizabeth gets away with her twisty plot.
Sweet Jesus in heaven! Jonah and I had never discussed this with her. We had certainly never planned for her to say such a thing. But say it she had: "…and showed me their search warrant." With those words Moody changed the whole atmosphere of the courtroom and the direction of this entire murder trial. (114.1)
As Moody takes the stand, Ben and Jonah are sure they've been double-crossed. They feel betrayed by Moody because she out-right lies on the stand. But as they keep listening to Moody's plan, they realize she's actually helping them out.
The words stabbed me in the heart. I felt my throat closing and thought I might be sick. (117.11)
This is how Ben describes the feeling he gets when he finds out Elizabeth betrayed him. Of course he's bummed over the fact that he won't get to use the photos in the trial, but he's more annoyed over the fact that his part-time lover stabbed him in the back.
But I knew exactly what my father was up to. For the spectators and journalists, some of whom he had allowed into the courtroom to hear the closing arguments, Judge Corbett was showing himself to be a courageous man, boldly making a statement of racial tolerance. (123.11)
Ben sees right through his dad's schemes. It might seem like his dad wants equality, but really he's swindled Ben's quest for it from day one. Even though he and his dad aren't close to begin with, Ben feels a pang listening to his dad drum on about idealism when he thwarted it at every turn.
"How could you do this? The one man I thought I could trust!" (78.4)
Here Ben questions Jacob at the Ku Klux Klan meeting. His shock shows just how betrayed Ben feels by his friend—they used to have a lot in common, but clearly they've gone their separate ways.
"What genuinely scares the white man is that the colored is going to suck up all the jobs from the whites. You just got out of Memphis, you saw how it is. It's the same in all the big cities— Nashville, New Orleans, Atlanta. You got thousands and thousands of Negroes running around looking for jobs. And every one of 'em willing to work cheaper than the white man, be they a field hand, a factory hand, or what have you." (20.18)
According to a stranger on a train, white people in the South are deeply afraid of change because they want to make sure their jobs and homes don't get taken away. What we don't get is how this connects to lynching Black men. You can't be so afraid of change that you kill everyone who might possibly in some way alter your life, right?
"The news does travel down to Mississippi eventually. And everybody I know says you're the most progressive young lawyer in Washington." I had never heard that word pronounced with a more audible sneer. (23.5)
Ben's dad hates the fact that he's progressive. In fact, he even says it like it's a dirty word. What we see, though, is that his dad is resistant to change. He doesn't see why Ben has to work hard to change the world when everything is going just fine.
Theodore Roosevelt hadn't sent me to Eudora to take a rickety bicycle ride down memory lane. I had a job to do, and it might even help change history. (31.5)
As we recall, President Roosevelt wants Ben to go to Eudora and report back on the lynching going on. But instead, Ben takes that as a directive to start changing racist attitudes down there.
"Be aware. There are forces at work here that would like nothing better than to take away your freedoms, your right to live life the way you have always lived it here. I warn you to do what you must to make sure that does not happen. Gentlemen, be alert. And acquit these three innocent men." (122.17)
Lewis's warning about change to the jury comes out like a threat. He wants the jury to find his clients not guilty not because they are innocent, but because they shouldn't let things change in their community. His tactic works, too. Maybe it's racism, or maybe it's about fear of the unknown, but the jury eats every word up.
"But bad as it was," Abraham went on, "that's when things begun to change. A big change at the first, then they took it back. But what happened in that courtroom…that'll change it. You just wait. You'll live to see it." (127.10)
Back during the Civil War, plenty of people died over big issues like slavery and ownership. Even though it was a dark time in American history, it also helped pave the way for change. Abraham remembers blood everywhere, and then slowly but surely, attitudes shifted and rules changed.
"Papaw keeps saying it takes a long time for things to change. Well, that's fine for him—he's almost run out of time. I don't want to be old and dying before anything ever starts to get better." (128.10)
Moody gets frustrated with her patient and kind grandpa, Abraham. She gets what he means about change taking a long time to work itself out, but she doesn't want to keep waiting around. She wants—and deserves—to be treated better now.
"Why, Ben?" he croaked. "Why'd you have to come back and ruin our nice little town?" (134.8)
Jacob questions Ben's motives for coming back to Eudora as a way of pointing out how he is afraid of change. From where he sits, everything was just fine before Ben came down South and ruined things with the trial.This only takes Jacob's side into account, though, and life certainly wasn't fine for everyone living in the Quarter.
Four white men lay trussed up in the dirt in front of Abraham's house. I remembered Abraham talking about the earth running red with blood—and I saw blood, tiny rivers of it, here on his home ground. (136.6)
When Ben sees blood on the ground, he remembers Abraham's words about change in the Civil War. Here he insinuates change has begun. We want to believe that's the case, but he doesn't stick around long enough to show us whether or not that's true. So what do you think? Is change happening?
"The more progressive citizens see you as a kind of abolitionist, a figure of progress in the march of civilization toward full equality. And the coloreds in the South see you as some kind of protector, a hero. It's damn good!" (139.8)
President Roosevelt praises Ben for his efforts in Eudora, but this doesn't stop Ben from feeling lousy. He's not sure he's a "figure of progress" at all since they lost the trial. These words are a good reminder, though, that just because we don't see change, doesn't mean it's not happening.
"Nothing needs reforming," he said by way of beginning, "so much as other people's habits." The audience roared in recognition of a universal truth. (56.3)
No matter how you feel about Mark Twain, the guy knows how to tell a joke. We get the sense that he's playing with the audience here. While he's pretending to be chit-chatting in a light-hearted way, he's actually berating the audience for living in the past. Embrace change, people.
"Not afraid in the way you think. He's not afraid the colored man's going to rape his wife or his daughter. Although, let's be honest, if you turned a colored man loose on white women with no laws against it, there's no telling what might happen." (20.17)
Notice how a stranger on a train tells Ben how scary Black men are. It's telling that many people—even characters we don't know—seem to think this way. They use the threat or fear of violence as a call to action, which only spreads more violence.
"You never seen a nail made out of human bone?" said Abraham. I shuddered, reaching up to haul the plank down. (34.12)
Of all the violence that happens in the novel, this one creeps us out big time. It's disturbing that Black men are hanged and cut up to pieces. In fact, Abraham even tells Ben of toes and fingers being sold in town for fun. No one even cares about the violence it seems, so long as it's against Black people. Ugh.
"There was a couple boys sitting on the sidewalk downtown. They was talkin' to each other quiet like, telling about this strike of colored men up in Illinois. Well, sir, somebody overheard what they said, and next thing you know a bunch of men jump on these boys. One of 'em, they knocked out all his teeth." (38.11)
As Ben gets to know Abraham and his grandkids more, he learns stories about the violence against Black men in the community. All of these stories have a common thread: there's no reason for the violence. It's completely senseless and a huge overreaction to the so-called "crimes" the Black men are accused of.
The rope was cutting under my jaw, but it had not gone tight. I got my hand up, somehow worked my fingers between the rope and my neck. I dangled and kicked as if I could kick my way out of the noose. They are hanging you, boy, was the chant that went through my head, over and over, like a song, an executioner's song. (67.17)
As Ben hangs from a tree, he describes the brutality he's experienced. Everything—and we mean everything—on his body hurts. The only reason he's even targeted is because he befriended people in the Quarter. And because of this, we see the violent ideology of racism coming to its physical conclusion.
I could plainly see that it had taken a sizable chunk of flesh out of his cheek; blood oozed down his chin. That side of his face was black with gunpowder. (87.32)
When the White Raiders shoot L.J., he brushes it off, but Ben still describes it. Everyone who takes a stand against the KKK or White Raiders is injured in some way. It doesn't matter whether people are Black or white—if they are against the White Raiders, they get hurt. It's clear they are a very violent community.
"It's time to put an end to it— the violence, all the hatred against coloreds in this town. These Ku Kluxer gangs are tearing Eudora apart, limb from limb. People are living in fear, black and white. You know me, Phineas. I've lived here all my life. I was there tonight. I saw what happened. I demand as a citizen of this town that you arrest these men for murder. Right now." (88.10)
L.J. demands that the chief of police arrest people right that instant. His reasoning? The violence has gone on long enough; everyone keeps getting hurt, and there's no end in sight. Luckily the police chief listens and does just that. The bad news, though, is that it doesn't curb the violence much.
"Suddenly, gentlemen, all is pandemonium—uproar and violence and chaos. Men firing guns everywhere. Glass flying. Women screaming. Suddenly there are men all around the house, trying to shoot their way in. Trying to kill the old man. Trying to kill his granddaughter." (103.14)
Jonah's retelling of what happened that night in the Quarter makes plain the destruction of the White Raiders. They weren't just there to "deliver a search warrant" like Loophole Lewis claims—instead they hurt a bunch of people for no reason at all. Senseless violence, anyone?
I felt blood running down where the whip was cutting into flesh and then Eversman was on me, hitting with both fists at once. But I was stronger, and angrier too. I managed to roll over and fling him on his back. Seizing the slack end of the whip, I wrapped it around his neck so tight that with one hard tug I could break his windpipe. (133.11)
At Abraham's after the trial, Ben inflicts violence on someone else. His description sounds an awful lot like his own hanging. The only difference? Ben knows when to stop. He doesn't keep beating on the White Raiders after they've stopped, so while he does fight back, he never uses violence just for the sake of it.
A rock came hurtling across the veranda to shatter the porcelain urn on a pedestal behind me. Another rock crashed through a stained-glass panel beside the front door. (110.4)
When L.J. helps Ben and Jonah with the trial, a mob shows up at his house, threatening his wife and daughter. It's clear that the other side uses violence to force people into submission, whereas Ben and posse only use it as a last resort.
"He had no choice. He saw the blood. He smelled it—that's how fresh it was. The blood of their victims was on the defendants' hands when we brought them to him. It was on the toes of their boots." (121.9)
The smell of blood is a particularly stomach-churning idea. We hear more and more details about the crime during the trial, complete with sights, smells, and sounds. It ain't pretty.
When interviewed, Chief of Police Phineas Eversman said that he was unaware of any lynching that previous evening in Eudora. A visitor in Chief Eversman's office, the respected Eudora Justice Everett Corbett, agreed. "I too know nothing about a lynching in Eudora." (26.9)
According to the newspapers, nothing is going on down in Eudora. But we know this isn't true because there are reports of what happened at a lynching. It's clear that people like the police chief and Judge Corbett are more interested in not getting involved than they are in telling the truth or making a safe community.
"We're not asking for public displays any more than you are," said Wells-Barnett, warming to the discussion. "As you recall, sir, when you invited Booker Washington to dine at the White House, it caused a political headache for you and accomplished absolutely nothing for the cause of colored people." (48.12)
W.E.B. Du Bois and Ida B. Wells-Barnett have a secret meeting with President Roosevelt regarding race. To put it another way, they urge him to do something about the problem. They understand he can't march in the streets with them, but something needs to be done. Instead, the President just sits back and waits.
"Why does the crowd lift no hand or voice in protest?" Twain said. "Only because it would be unpopular to do it, I think. Each man is afraid of his neighbor's disapproval—a thing which, to the general run of the race, is more dreaded than wounds and death." (56.27)
Mark Twain talks about people standing by when Ben and Elizabeth hear him speak. He points out that people don't enjoy watching a lynching—they are more interested in going with the flow so no one turns on them. We see this happening in Eudora when Ben gets pummeled the minute he sticks his neck out for his Black friends.
I was still waiting for an answer from the White House. Maybe my telegram had been too concise? Too curt or disrespectful to send to the president? Maybe Roosevelt had forgotten about me? (58.1)
To call Ben frustrated here would be an understatement. He's confused. Why wouldn't the President get back to him? He's been sent down there by the guy, and then hears nothing back from his telegram. To Ben, it feels like the guy has given up because he's no longer active in solving the problem.
There were groans from the congregation. It seemed to me that most of them had been turning the other cheek their entire lives. (63.11)
In the church, Ben witnesses another type of passivity. Some people sit by and do nothing to stop the hate spreading like wildfire all around town, and others do nothing when they are the ones being targeted. Here we see that sometimes inaction can be a good thing—if it's done in the right way.
"You mean, because we haven't heard from Roosevelt?" I asked. "I don't understand that at all. I almost got hanged for him." (72.17)
Check out what Ben says about his hanging being for Roosevelt. It's not merely that he was hanged by the White Raiders, or got himself into trouble for doing what's right—he directly blames Roosevelt for his suffering in Eurdoa, which makes the President's lack of response all the more annoying.
"Look, I ain't gonna stand here and argue with the likes of you," she said. "I don't know how I could make it any clearer. We got no rooms available for you. So if you don't mind, I will thank you to go on and leave the house now." (74.7)
Once Ben's made an enemy of the White Raiders, Maybelle doesn't want to get involved with his problems. She tells him he can't stay at her place anymore. She's not one of the KKK or out shooting people like the White Raiders, but we're not sure she's any better than them either since she sits by and lets that stuff happen by not standing up to it.
"Those men must have thought I'd forgotten all about them." He laughed, a big booming Roosevelt laugh. "I think I showed great wisdom not to respond to their first report, but to let them draw their own conclusions as to what should be done." (89.21)
Roosevelt must think highly of himself—or so it seems when he congratulates himself for all of Ben's work in Eudora. It doesn't seem fair or right, and even Roosevelt's henchman (Hensen) is floored by the President's arrogance here.
"White men charged for killing black men, right down there in the heart of Dixie. Now let Du Bois and that Wells-Barnett woman try to tell me I have ignored the Negro problem!" (89.9)
Roosevelt comes across as pretty ignorant here. He's proud of the work that Ben's doing, but he uses it to pretend that he's been a part of the change in Eudora. In reality, though, he's sitting pretty in the oval office while Ben gets his hands—and neck—dirty.
"That's why you didn't answer my telegrams?"
"It wasn't convenient for me to hear from you yet," he said. "But then we had the most magnificent stroke of luck when the Raiders Trial came along!" (139.14-15)
Ben can hardly believe his ears when Roosevelt calls the trial lucky—it nearly tore the town apart and only took place because people died. It's clear that the President is only willing to get involved as it suits him, and Ben notices how selfish and wrong that is for a leader.
"Maybe you'll see that we ain't all monsters," he said. "We're just family men. We got to look out for our women and protect what's rightfully ours." (77.15)
According to Jacob, the KKK is full of family men who are just trying to do what's right. His comments are particularly upsetting because he's just helped lynch a man, but it's interesting to think about the fact that he believes he's bringing justice about in doing just that. Creepy.
Everyone knew that Judge Corbett was "fair" and "honest" and "sensible." Judge Corbett "understands the true meaning of justice."
"That is exactly what I am afraid of," I said. (92.5-6)
Too bad the real meaning of justice doesn't mean all that much in Eudora. While everyone praises Judge Corbett for being fair, we see him help the defense cover up a fake search warrant. Justice is often tangled up with white supremacy in this book, only making it harder to Black people to get any justice.
Dominating the wall above the judge's bench was an enormous Fattorini & Sons regulator clock nearly as long as a grandfather clock, with a carved dark-wood case, elegant Roman numerals, and a pair of gleaming brass pendulums. Growing up, I always thought of it as the Clock of Justice. (97.9)
It's funny how Ben's ideals haven't changed over the years, but his assessment of the courts have. He still wants justice just as much—if not more—as when he was a kid, but he realizes that sometimes that's not what is offered in the courts.
"One of the men they killed was white. The other was black. I didn't mention any of this to you. And do you know why? I'll tell you why—because the pursuit of justice knows no color! The pursuit of justice admits only that which is fair, and honest, and true." (103.20)
Wouldn't it be awesome if race didn't matter in the trial? Unfortunately, justice isn't the name of the game in Eudora; it's just a figurehead that everyone pretends they want. Jonah only mentions race as a way of addressing the elephant in the room.
Since the night we had convinced Phineas to arrest the White Raiders, I'd known that if this trial ever came about, winning three guilty verdicts would be close to impossible. But this was the first time I had ever considered that it might be completely impossible. (112.1)
He could say that again. Ben isn't fighting in a fair system that allows for impartiality. From the time the case begins, it's clear that the Judge is on the defendant's side and doesn't care much about what's right or true.
He did the honest, moral, upright thing—and that's not always easy to do. He arrested these men and charged them, and he saw that they were brought to trial. He may have changed his mind since then about some things, but the fact remains that Chief Eversman knew instinctively that these men had to be stopped. (121.7)
In his summation, Ben points out that the chief of police stood up for what's right, but that his decision to do so was unusual. And since that night, he's done nothing but help the other side. Perhaps the reason justice is so hard to come by in Eudora is because no one cares about doing what's right.
"And what you decide in that jury room will influence…for a very long time…the way we live our lives in this town." (123.7)
This comes to us straight from Judge Corbett to the jurors. He knows the weight of their decision and wants to make sure they understand it, too. Notice how he focuses on the impact the decision will have on their society, not on making a fair decision. Ugh.
I know that this might anger you, but I must tell the truth. I am convinced beyond any doubt that I am doing the right thing when I try to use my skills as a lawyer to help those who can't find justice anywhere else. (124.26)
Ben's letter to Meg is honest but gives her a tough pill to swallow. In it, he tells her that he cares about the work he's doing, because someone needs to give justice to Black people in a world where no one will.
"I know you're going to think I'm nothin' but a cold, ungrateful girl. But I don't just feel bad—I'm angry. Damn angry. Oh yeah, you did your best. And Mr. Curtis did his best. And Mr. Stringer spent all that money…but those murderers walked away free." (128.8)
After the trial, Moody gives it to Ben straight. She's ticked off. Yep, change takes time, and everyone worked really hard on the case, but it's not good enough—there's nothing fair about murderers walking away without getting in trouble. We couldn't agree more, Moody.
Every blow they struck was violent payback for a lynching, a hanging, a beating, a murder. I heard the thud of club against flesh, the crack of rock striking bone. Terrible cries erupted as the colored men overwhelmed the Raiders, avenging the lynchings of their brothers, the oppression and torture and murder of fathers and friends. (132.22)
As the Black people respond to yet another White Raider attack, Ben thinks about what they are doing. He pictures their fight as a form of justice—finally people in the Quarter get a chance for a little payback for what they've suffered over the years.

Final stage of the build
You are here
The New Year got off to a great start with more than 15 people having paid a visit to the Musafir during this time. Nine of them were living full time in the banda, forming the crew at that time.
Now, what is it to be a part of the crew and who are the people with us on the journey? Taking part is something for each person to define what it means to him/her. There are no contracts, no fees and no recruiters recruiting anyone - imagination is the limit for everyone to decide what being part of the Musafir means for the person.
Most everyone in the crew is from a very different background than the next, though while all have different approaches to life and the issues that come with it, everyone shares one thing that ties them together: the unknown. Everyone is searching for something but for each it is something different. Someone openly will share his/her reasons while for others it is something intimate to be kept close to the heart. No matter what is though, it doesn't matter. None of us, including you reading this will know what will happen on this adventure and that's what every one of us is eager to find out.
Back in Kenya, the crew were very active during the month of January with two trips to the neighbouring island of Lamu, living the good life of exploration with a bit of sailing with a traditional dhow. Time was spent experiencing what it means to be travelling as a group.
The fundi continued the work on the boat where they had some problems with willpower due to the construction being such a long and demanding process, which is to be expected during a long project like this: the level of motivation goes up and down like waves in the sea. There were many small details overlooked during the previous construction phases with a bolt there, a nail here missing. A meeting was had as a way to push the final stages of the boat to completion with the Musafirs back from Lamu eager to help out and motivate the already tired fundi.
