While the City Sleeps (1956) Fritz Lang

December 2nd 2023

[petervintonjr]

Everybody say hello to Gwendolyn Zoharah Simmons: activist, teacher, and researcher. Born in 1944 Memphis, Gwendolyn was the first generation in her family to attend college (Spelman, 1962). She credits her grandmother, Rhonda Bell Robinson, with having instilled in her the family's history and its reckoning with slavery, her own hardships growing up as a sharecropper, and how Mississippi was objectively the "worst of the worst" for Black people. Gwendolyn solemnly promised her grandmother that she would never go to Mississippi. (And don't even get her started on the epic confrontations with teachers and school officials about the "inappropriateness of her hair." Boy, it's sure nice that that sort of racial dress-code pettiness isn't a thing anymore, huh?)

In the 1960's, inspired by several Spelman professors (to include Howard Zinn), Gwendolyn actively and enthusiastically became involved in the SNCC against her family's wishes. She participated in sit-ins and endured several arrests, ultimately jeopardizing her Spelman scholarship. She helped prepare curricula for Freedom Schools and coordinated mock voter registrations, working under Bob Moses (see Lesson 112 in this series) and alongside James Forman and her fellow Spelman alum Ruby Doris Smith-Robinson (see Lesson 66). Eventually she came into the orbit of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and ultimately found herself taking over as director of the Mississippi Summer Project in 1964 when its previous director, Lester McKinney, had been picked up by Laurel police. She herself was arrested in Jackson following a march; being held, beaten and tortured for 15 days in a makeshift prison constructed on the county fairgrounds.

Gwendolyn later moved briefly to New York, and then to Atlanta where she worked on Julian Bond's state campaign (see Lesson 72). She continued to work with the local chapter of the SNCC, authoring a controversial position paper on Black Power that argued against expelling its white members. Around this time Gwendolyn also (unsurprisingly) found herself on the FBI's notorious Counterintelligence Program (COINTELPRO) target list. Inspired by the speeches of Malcolm X, Gwendolyn joined Nation Of Islam in the late 1960's and changed her name to Zoharah (also taking her husband Michael Simmons' last name), and moved to Philadelphia. However her strong feminist principles contravened a number of NOI teachings, putting her at odds with the organization's stance on women as submissive helpmeets. Over the next 20 years she worked for the American Friends Service Committee, travelling to Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and (significantly) Palestine.

Gwendolyn retired from the University of Florida in 2019; conducting and leading research that explores Islamic feminism and the cultural impact of Sharia law on Muslim women. Today Simmons is senior lecturer emerita, continuing to travel and lecture on gender equality, and on many other issues affecting Black Americans, feminism, and social inequities. Her and Michael Simmons' daughter Aishah Shahidah Simmons, is herself an accomplished documentary filmmaker. (Teachers: Need some resources to engage your students this Black History Month? I'll send you a pile of these trading cards, no cost, no obligation. Just give me a mailing address and let me know how many students in your class. No strings attached, no censorship, no secret-relaying-of-names to Abbott or DeSantis or HuckaSanders.)

The girls of T7S, as Henry VIII's wives (with Kelso as Henry VIII)...

Catherine of Aragon: Jackie

Anne Boleyn: Laurie

Jane Seymour: Midge (well, if Kelso wasn't the clear Henry VIII).

Anne of Cleves: Rhonda

Catherine Howard: Pam Macy

Catherine Parr: Brooke

*****

The Other Stars of the Show:

Henry VII: Red

Elizabeth of York: Kitty

Elizabeth I: Donna

Robert Dudley: Eric

*****

Note: In general, Henry VIII is what I would call a disastrous Kelso/Donna combo. Smart, temperamental, and athletic, but reckless, impulsive, selfish, and amoral.

December 31 2023 Boulder

I was grateful today to wake up to Maple being with us and reflect on a wonderful year with her in our lives, and other amazing experiences Bruce and I have had together and with family and friends this year. But it has also been a year filled with loss, sadness, anger, disappointment, fear, disbelief, and regret. It was a lovely to share seeing the old year out and the new year in at our friend, Suzanne's New Year's Eve party at her house. It was fun to chat with Howard, Pat, Carolyn, and Kevin, as well as the other friends we have known for so many years.

Most of these friends are in our cycling group and we ride with them in Boulder County a lot and also have traveled with them extensively, especially Carolyn and Jim, who are very dear friends with whom we also play bridge as often as we can. Joining Bruce in the photo above are Rhonda, Carolyn, Karin, and Camberly.

I love all these friends very much and we have shared so many experiences, most of them exciting and fun, but we have also supported each other through some hard times. Tracy, at left in the photo above, and her husband, Howard, are also Carolyn and Jim's neighbors because they live in a condo in their building.

Suzanne, wearing the headdress, used to be a caterer and she is a MARVELOUS cook and made MOST of the food at the party. Unfortunately, I could only eat the cauliflower soup, but it was AMAZING and I had two big bowls worth of it. I heard from the others that the food was fantastic and I'm not surprised.

Beryl, next to Suzanne in the photo above, is also a member of the cycling group. She was in a very bad car accident a few years ago and we are all SO relieved that she has completely recovered.

Joe, in the black hat, and Robyn, his girlfriend sitting next to him, are in our cycling group and have visited us in Barcelona.

Jack, on the left, is Beryl's husband and a really strong rider. Some of us women ride electric bikes now but not Robyn or Beryl.

It was a fun party and we stayed long enough to see the new year in and then called it a night. We went home to sleep soundly in our comfy bed in our comfy home and feel really grateful for such a fabulous life that we have been fortunate to live together for over 44 years. Tomorrow begins another year and we can only hope and pray it will be less traumatic than this year has been.

Ultimate Playlist: Women’s Names, R

Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac The song was inspired by the character of a Welsh woman who believed she was possessed by another woman name Rhiannon from the novel Triad. There’s also a goddess named Rhiannon in a Welsh story collection whom the lyrics of the song resemble.

Rio by Duran Duran In the song, Rio is a dancer compared to the Rio Grande river. The band explained that it was a metaphor for their desire to succeed in America.

Lovely Rita by The Beatles Paul wrote this song about an actual meter maid who gave him a parking ticket right outside of Abbey Road Studios Two.

Roberta by Billy Joel The protagonist is in love with a prostitute, but he can’t afford her. Joel said it’s based on a woman he knew in Los Angeles.

Mrs. Robinson by Simon & Garfunkel Originally written about Eleanor Roosevelt, Mike Nichols asked Paul to change it to “Mrs. Robinson” to be included in his 1967 film, The Graduate. The song won the 1969 Grammy for Record of the Year.

Help Me, Rhonda by The Beach Boys This is the story of a boy who fell in love with a girl who left him for another guy, and the boy begs his friend Rhonda to help him forget about her.

Sister Rosa by Slim This folk rock tune finds the singer at a bar where Rosa is on stage singing Moon River. I don’t remember where I came across it, but I love it. Keep on singin’, Rosa!

Rosalinda’s Eyes by Billy Joel Joel wrote this one as a hypothetical message to his mother Rosalind from his father Howard, who had left his family for Cuba.

Rosanna by Toto People thought the song was written about keyboardist Steve Porcaro’s girlfriend, the actress Rosanna Arquette, but it wasn’t about anyone in particular.

Rose’s Turn by June Styne & Stephen Sondheim, sung by Bette Midler From the Broadway show Gypsy, this song finds Mama Rose alone after all of her children have left to pursue their own careers. Everything’s coming up roses.

Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) by Edison Lighthouse Apparently people don’t think much of Rosemary, but the singer is infatuated with her.

Cracklin’ Rosie by Neil Diamond This song makes a lot more sense when you understand that it was inspired by a folk story of a native tribe in Northern Canada with more men than women. When they go out Saturday night, the guys without girls pick up a bottle of wine as their date or the weekend.

Roxanne by The Police Yet another song about a prostitute, this one has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Roxie by John Kander & Fred Ebb, sung by Ann Reinking From the Broadway musical Chicago, the lead character Roxie Hart sings about her plans for a future career in vaudeville.
