One surprising finding to me was how many twentysomethings expressed a plan to prioritize faith once life settles down.

King’s sermon should motivate further study of the history of African anti-colonial movements in places like Kenya, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.

As we know, every movie ever, including the misnamed silent movies, had voices, sound effects, music and/or musical accompaniment.
