The Brights of Ham Green House – wealth and health, science and slavery
Posted on March 23, 2019 by Liz Milner
The Bright Family at Ham Green
This post accompanies "Fortunes, Fruit and Fevers – a biography of an orchard. part 1"
"The Bright family of Bristol was a tremendously important and wealthy one, having made its fortune in the slave trade, [West] India dealings and ultimately banking." Quote from 'Tempestuous teacups and enigmatic leaves' Larry Schaff.
From Worcestershire farming to Apprentice Merchant, and success in Bristol
Henry Bright senior 1715 – 1777 came from Worcestershire, but the family weren't 'landed aristocracy', their background was as yeoman farmers but Henry had been apprenticed at the age of 16 to Richard Meyler, a West India merchant. They later became business partners; "While living in Jamaica [Henry Bright] built up a successful trade with Richard Meyler in sugar, slaves, provisions and dry goods…During this final spell in the Caribbean [1748 – 51] he arranged sugar consignments for Meyler and was active in the slave trade, especially the illegal traffic with the Spanish American market….By the time of the American Revolution, all this activity meant that the Bright family was considered in higher credit than any other house in England: the Brights were know to be men of large fortune." Quote from Google Book: Transactions of the Royal Historical Society.
Henry Bright married his partner's only daughter Sarah (who was also his heiress), and they lived at 29 Queen Square in Bristol, with a black servant called Bristol. During his lifetime Henry was Mayor, and Sheriff of Bristol, a founder of the Bristol Theatre Royal in the 1760s, and of one of the first banks outside London, known as the Old Bank.
They had only one child, Richard, born in 1754 and brought up as a Unitarian, attending one of the four Dissenting Academies where he developed a love of science inspired by teachers such as Benjamin Franklin, and Joseph Priestley who he came to greatly admire. Through the Unitarians he also met the Heywood family, one of whom, Sarah, later became his wife. By 1777, both Richard's parents had died and at the age of 23 he inherited substantial properties in Wales, Hampshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, along with plantations in Jamaica, and the 640 enslaved people who worked there. Ham Green House, that his mother had inherited from her father, also came into Richard's possession.
Ham Green House
Richard married Sarah Heywood in 1782 and they had their first child in 1784, named Henry after his grandfather. By 1790 they had four children and the family moved to Ham Green House – a place Richard had known well as a child. An 1800 tithe map "indicates that Bright's freehold amount[ed] to little more than 9 acres", however,
"the Parliamentary enclosure of common lands Act in Portbury parish completed in 1806, provided him with considerable opportunities for expansion. As well as purchasing and enclosing Ham Green itself he was able to acquire by exchange with neighbouring properties a large block to the west of his house [including, I believe, 'our' orchard] … This process of acquisition was continued vigorously in subsequent years [and] … enabled several improvements to be made to his gardens and grounds. The former common grazing land of Ham Green was converted to parkland and partly enclosed by new plantations, shown on the 1844 tithe map." Quotes from booklet "Mr Bright's Pleasure Ground at Hung Road", The Gardens of Ham Green House, by James Russell, Avon Gardens Trust and Bristol and Avon Archaeological Society 2000.
According to research by his descendant Pamela Bright, he was "an able farmer with progressive views…and an inspired horticulturalist" spending much time in his hothouses in his later years. He planted many specimen trees in the garden (some fine cedars are still standing) and grew olive trees in the hope of introducing them to his plantations in Jamaica, and experimented with "pomegranates, pepper, nutmeg and cloves…No visitor was allowed to leave without a full basket" of fruit, vegetables or flowers. By 1789 the garden had already been elevated in status – Samuel Hieronymous Grimm titled a drawing he made of a view toward the house from the opposite bank as "Mr Bright's Pleasure Ground at Hung Road". See end of post for further information about the Hung Road.
Passion for Science
Richard Bright was also dedicated to the pursuit of science, the family were friends with many of the pioneering scientists of their times – Humphry Davy, James Watt, William Smith and Dr. Thomas Beddoes of the Pneumatic Institute in Dowry Square, Bristol – so the children (girls and boys) grew up with enthusiastic and enquiring minds, "He brought up his children in the idyllic surroundings of Ham Green and imbued his young son [Richard Bright junior, b1789] with a keen sense of observation coupled with an eye for detail and accurate documentation." (From J Campbell MacKenzie).
Richard senior had a laboratory built in the grounds of the house as an extension to the gazebo for the family to conduct scientific experiments. At some stage in the early 1800s the mineral celestine (used in flares and fireworks) was discovered 'under the pastures of Ham Green', either by Richard senior or one of his scientific acquaintances, and "the sight of the way the crystalline mass of blue, when subjected to heat, turned the flame into 'indescribable scarlet' was to remain with the Brights forever"[PB], and the discovery was responsible for initiating geological collecting for some of the children that lasted a lifetime.
This broad education led several family members to become accomplished and highly regarded amateur scientists in the fields of geology, mineralogy and botany; Richard Bright junior became an eminent Doctor, pioneering a new approach to diagnosing and treating illness that relied on the close and careful observational skills he'd developed as a child.

Henry Bright – Geologist, Whig MP, Collector, and, Eccentric?
The 1841 Ham Green orchard owner, Henry Bright (first child of Richard senior and Sarah), continued the family interest in the sciences with a particular focus on geology, and was also a friend of Thomas Wedgwood. an early experimenter with photography. He went to Cambridge University and although he was suspended (because of a 'little fracas' in a shop) went on to become a barrister and then represented Bristol as a Whig MP from 1820 – 1830.
Henry seems to have been a little eccentric and at some stage of his time in Parliament, his contemporary, and opposition MP George Canning (also briefly Prime Minister) compared "the snapping, barking, cur-looking Member for Bristol to a dog tied by a string under a pedlar's cart". From History of Parliament.
In later years his nephew recalled a 'very polished and refined old gentleman and a keen geologist' who 'always dressed with extreme shabbiness' and 'was arrested in his own garden as a suspicious character by a zealous member of the then newly-established police force.' (Quoted in L Schaaf post)

In addition to his varied occupations and scientific interests Henry was also an amateur artist and a collector, and in the year of his death, 1869, he compiled a scrapbook of watercolours, prints and photographs. Included in the scrapbook were some paintings of Ham Green House by one of Henry's sisters, Sarah Anne Bright (1793-1866), an accomplished artist and keen botanist who had helped her brothers with their geological collections – another member of the family to follow both scientific and artistic pursuits.

The Leaf – one of the earliest photographs
Some of the photographs contained in the scrapbook – very early 'photogenic drawings' of leaves dated to 1839, see image below) – were unattributed in the book but later assumed to have been made by William Henry Fox Talbot, founder of the negative/positive photographic process. However more recent research provides evidence that at least one of these prints, a negative image known as 'The Leaf', was made (possibly along with the other leaf images) by Sarah Bright at Ham Green House, making her one of the world's early photographers.

The end of the Bright's residence at Ham Green House
Henry did not marry and died in March 1869 dividing the bulk of his property between various nephews and Ham Green House eventually passed on to the neighbouring Miles family.
The Bright's shadows – dissenters and philanthropists, but not Abolitionists
To quote from my related post, "the Brights were well respected and remembered (by their tenants as well as those of their own mercantile background) for their kindness and philanthropy. The biography of Dr Richard Bright builds a picture of a very close family of enthusiastic individuals who were generous and genial company". As mentioned above the family were Unitarians, a number of leading members of this faith were Abolitionists, including Richard Bright senior's mentor, Joseph Priestly, who was a Unitarian minister and wrote, in 1788, a 'Sermon Against the Slave Trade'. The Bright family had close acquaintances among Quakers such as the Harfords of Blaise Castle Estate, and other non-conformists in Bristol like Hannah More who were all strong supporters of the Abolition movement.
So, given the positive impression of the Brights, it's baffling, and disappointing, for us to look back at the family in that period and wonder how they could reconcile their benevolent conduct, Whig (liberal) outlook and strongly held religious beliefs with their deep involvement in the 'West India Trade' – "the Brights were know to be men of large fortune"; they owned plantations in Jamaica, trading very successfully in rum and sugar while the earlier generation were active slave traders, but after the abolition of the slave trade in 1807 several members of the family were still owners of enslaved people.
When Richard Bright senior died in 1840, Henry's inheritance included compensation paid by British taxpayers (up until 2015, yes 2015) to slave owners for the loss of their 'human property' when the Abolition of Slavery Act was passed in 1833. No money went to the 'freed' slaves (they were to become largely unpaid 'apprentices' for several years), but five years before his death Richard Bright senior had received £11,972 16s 9d (equivalent of about £1,357,768 today) for the 640 enslaved people mentioned above. I found this quote in a letter that he wrote from Ham Green House on 4 July 1826 to Edward Smith (his attorney in Jamaica) making very clear his stance on the matter:
From the Bright papers https://digitised-collections.unimelb.edu.au/handle/11343/92255
Transcript: "….My correspondence cannot fail to have conveyed to you what my wishes & desires are, I am no abolitionist, but I am desirous to introduce a system of encouragement and of instruction which shall prepare the Negro population for a greater degree of liberty, and even prospect of freedom whenever their knowledge, or that of their children, shall render them capable of enjoying it as civilised Men and informed Christians".
It is thought that at least half of the £20 million pounds (that's the original 1835 value) made in compensation payments to slave-owning families remained in Great Britain. These families' investments were, it is suggested, a significant factor in the rapid expansion of the Industrial Revolution. Another of Henry's brothers, Robert became an original shareholder in the new Great Western Cotton Factory in Barton Hill in Bristol in 1838 after receiving compensation related to 'human property' in Barbados. The Bright's wealth certainly allowed the family to follow their scientific interests, and paved the way for Henry to become a barrister and MP, and his brother to pursue his medical training, through which he benefited hundreds of people.
It's a vast topic that's problematic for us to comprehend and asses from 200 years on, but discovering details about individuals of that time does shift the perspective and reveals a very different structure to a once familiar past .
The Bright papers and a Biography of Dr Richard Bright
Over the course of two centuries or so the Bright family produced numerous letters (both personal and business), documents and books many of which have been preserved. Drawing on these papers a descendant of the family, Pamela Bright, wrote a biography of Dr Richard Bright in 1983. She examines his own accounts of his medical career with others' reports of his work, achievements and dedication; a working life that spanned the reign of four monarchs in which we learn of Bright visiting the military hospitals in Brussels a few days after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, to giving guidance and advice on caring for the wounded soldiers at the Crimean War in 1854. And in between these significant events his groundbreaking work on diagnosing and treating kidney diseases and improving working practices in hospital care.
Alongside this we read about his perilous journey to Iceland to undertake a geological study, and medical and social research visits to Hungary and Austria; his wide ranging interests, and his relationships with a socially diverse circle of friends and colleagues. He is devoted to his work but also very close to his family and through their copious letters the character of this remarkable man and other close family members are brought to life. The book also provides a vivid insight into the social and political history of the first half of the 19th century and is well worth reading.
The Hung Road (a slight excursion down the Ham Green House garden path to the river)
The Hung Road (a Road, in nautical terms is a place where ships commonly ride at anchor while being serviced by lighters or awaiting their turn at a pier or jetty) on the River Avon between Crockerne Pill and St Katherine's Pill is a "natural deep water wharf at high tide, but [because of the vast tidal range in the Avon, up to 40 ft difference] at low tide the ships were 'hung' by their masts to rings and stout chains embedded into the the rocks. This was to make sure the vessels remained upright and did not roll. Some rings still remain but during the First World War many were removed for salvage". Glinda Hooper
The Adam and Eve – the watergate to Ham Green House on the hill above.
This stretch of river is beneath Ham Green House and there is a mid 18th century folly here known as the Adam and Eve (because of the male and female statues, now much eroded, at each end that have given rise to some colourful stories about two forbidden lovers being separated and locked in the towers and left until they died), which was built by the Bright / Meyler family as a watergate for the house, allowing their ships to stop at high tide for the disembarkation of passengers and unloading of goods.
The eroded statues can just be seen on each side of the central arch in this pair of photographs from the 1990s, kindly loaned by Stuart Cox.
A wonderful imagining of the Bright family enjoying the moonlit snow and a boat trip in 1847. Reproduced with permission of the artist (also historian), Stuart Cox. He, and his seafaring family have lived in Pill for generations.
Further colourful tales are told regarding the use of the alleged underground passages leading up to the house from the folly for smuggling; true or not there was certainly evidence that smuggling was common around here and in 1798, eight years after Richard Bright senior and family had taken up residence at Ham Green House, Customs Officers seized 'no less than twenty ankers [1 anker = 10 gallons] of brandy and rum … found hidden along the banks of the river near Hung Road'. This is just one example, although the skill of the pilots (if, one should add, it was they who were responsible) and speed of their specialised cutter vessels meant they perhaps often evaded capture. This clearly is the reason there is a Customs Watchhouse in the village!
Other things were to be found in the woods and precipitously steep banks of the Hung Road; for generations local children have feared the Oakum, or Hookem or Hooky Boys who allegedly lived either in what were once the Bright's woods above Hung Road, or, depending on the version told, in the river – these water-dwellers were the vindictive ghosts of bad boys from Bristol. These monstrous creatures were reputed to either devour wayward children or the aquatic version would drag them into the river with their hooked hands (their own had been cut off as a punishment) and drown them.
The three black figures to the left of the jug (local Ham Green ware from the 15thC), are how present-day children from Pill school imagine the Hookem Boys. Interpretation board designed by Peter Milner.
They seem to have been based on "boys who lived rough at Ham Green who made a poor living by picking oakum [loose fibre obtained by untwisting old rope] for the caulking of ships" (Gerald Hart). Whatever they were these spectres provided a good deterrent to straying into genuinely hazardous terrain. After 1867 when the Bristol to Portishead railway was built, which runs close to Hung Road but under Watchhouse Hill, further terrors awaited those who tried to enter the tunnel – they might see the ghost of the Grey Lady, a legend still alive in the village today.
In the early days of the fever hospital at Ham Green, the Adam and Eve was probably the landing stage at which some patients would arrive by boat. A sad tale from the 1920s tells of two nurses from the hospital who one summer's day had gone to sit on the folly during a break and paddle their feet in the water. The tide was high and the wash from a passing steamer swept them off the platform and they drowned.
The once white (now much grafittied) folly would have served as a useful marker on the river for shipping and still bears a navigation light named Adam and Eve. It's hard to imagine how busy this river once was with dozens of ships like the 1847 Jeanie Johnston shown in the photograph below, passing the Adam and Eve on the Hung Road in 2006.

This farmhouse and its distinctive stand of Sycamore trees is a local landmark that I can just see from the loft window of our house, but though there are footpaths that go right past it's years since I've been there, and we heard from the farmer that these trees are likely to be pollarded soon as they are becoming dangerously top-heavy (40 years or so since last done he thinks). So during one of the rare spells of sunshine we've had recently we did a pleasantly wiggly circular walk there from home to photograph the farm with the trees before they change dramatically! The house is listed, "mid C18th, altered C19" and the adjacent late C18th three arched building was a "cart barn with granary over"; the round aperture in first floor is delightfully named a "pitching eye". There are expansive views from the farmhouse across the Severn to the Welsh hills - and rainbows! Last two photos were taken on 35mm film in 2001; one from the loft window - you can just see the roof and Sycamores; the other looks towards our village across the farm in the snow. #farmbuildings #pitchingeye
Wassail wassail! The Green Man and a fine saucepan-bashing crowd banishing the evil spirits and welcoming the good ones at our Community Orchard yesterday. Here's to a good harvest!
Sire Johanne de Hauteville and his lion footstool greeted us at the start of this afternoon's outing in Chew Magna church, followed by special treat lunch at Pony & Trap with expansive views from our table, then a walk in sun and muddy fields beside the river Chew, badger sets, sunset over the lake (a little sooner than we anticipated!) and at the last turn of the path, the breathtaking full moon rising over the valley; blissful winter day.

Though largely seen as an issue affecting Latinos, Black immigrants are often faced with the threat of deportation, too. That's why the Black Alliance for Just Immigration is now fighting to aid the nearly 50,000 Haitians and 4,000 Somali immigrants at risk of being ousted from the U.S.
The advocacy group, comprised of Black Americans and Black immigrants from Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, has since called on lawmakers to halt the mass deportation of migrants from both nationalities. The extraditions have left BAJI activists anxious for those who fled dangerous situations in their home countries — only to be sent back there.
The re-designation of Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for Haitians living in the U.S. is scheduled for May 23, so local, state and federal campaigns have been working round the clock to ensure that protected status is granted. Organization members expressed worry that Haitian immigrants living in Florida, New Jersey and New York would be hit especially hard, as these states house some of the larger populations of the Haitian diaspora.
"Considering the current Haitian migrant crisis on the U.S./Mexico border, along with the trials [post Hurricane Matthew] that continue to impede on the progress of Haiti's national development, stripping 50,000 Haitian nationals of TPS status prioritizes them for removal and raises major concerns around the readiness of Haiti to handle such a large number of deportees," BAJI policy manager Nana Brantuo said in a statement.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as ICE, also is in the process of removing more than 4,000 Somalis residing in the country, according to Ahmed Isse Awad, Somalia's U.S. Ambassador. The deportations spell trouble for Somalis across the U.S. but especially for those living in the Midwest, which tends to have high populations of Somalis.
The Department of Homeland Security is usually tasked with disseminating information regarding mass deportations, members of the advocacy group explained in a press release. However, the agency has yet to release any details on the pending removals, leaving Haitian and Somali immigrants anxious and unsettled.
By highlighting the intersections of race, ethnicity and nationality while discussing the ways in which the immigration system is biased against Black immigrants in the U.S., BAJI ultimately hopes to shift the mainstream narrative surrounding immigration.

Trading Buds for Micro-Brewskis: Craft Beer's Renaissance Continues to Grow
Beer is having a big moment, a revolution of sorts. When it comes to grabbing a cold one, more people seem to be bypassing the big dogs and seeking out better-tasting craft brews.
"I think that the brewers are driving each other, and I think the drinkers are driving the brewers," said Joe Emswiler, who reviews hundreds of craft beers on his website, properhops.com. "Pretty much anything you want to brew right now, the sky's the limit. People are going to want to try it.
American craft brew sales are up 15 percent over last year's, according to the Brewers Association's mid-year report, which was released in July. The organization represents more than 1,400 small and independent U.S. breweries, or around 70 percent of the brewing industry.

In the Craft Beer World, a Pecking Order Emerges
Courtesy saltnews.wordpress.com
Not all suds claiming the "craft beer" label are created equal. While all beer makers say that quality and taste are what matter most, beer lovers consider many other factors—size of the brewer, corporate ownership, circumstances under which the beer was made—when evaluating brews. Which beers are considered to be the height of pure unadulterated craft production, and which do beer geeks consider barely a step up from Bud?
Over the course of covering the rapidly expanding craft beer world, it's become clear that the field hasn't merely grown more crowded, but far more complicated as well. For many, one of the big attractions to craft beer is that it's created by brewmasters who are passionate first and foremost about beer, not profits or business plans. Yet over the years, as the number of players have doubled and doubled again, the craft scene has undeniably become big business.
Made in NC: Asheville Becomes Hub of State's Growing Craft Beer Industry
ASHEVILLE — Inside unadorned buildings, dark basements and hollow warehouses across this mountain town, the steam rises from shiny pots carrying a sweet smell from a brew that draws thousands.
Not far removed from the copper stills that once kept moonshine flowing in these hills, this new legal brew is transforming the state into a top destination for a fast-growing segment of the beverage market: craft beer.
Made in small batches by independent, local breweries, craft beer from North Carolina is now distributed throughout the region. The state's roughly 85 craft brewers are earning national recognition and drawing hordes of enthusiasts, some of whom drive hours and sleep overnight on sidewalks to taste special releases.

Russian Beer Fest Goes Flat for Brewers
MOSCOW—The world's top brewers once bet big on Russia's famous love of drinking, pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into new plants and distribution networks as they sought to tap a growing taste for beer in a land where vodka long ruled.
For years the investment paid off. But now the Kremlin's campaign against alcoholism has sapped the life out of the party as a flood of new regulations and taxes aimed at turning around dismal life expectancy rates for men has made the beer market go flat, brewers say.
Beer Man: Golden Casper White Masks Tasty Stout Flavor
Casper White Stout is quite the Jekyll and Hyde beer, but not in a bad way.
It is a deceptive beer, with its golden pour topped by a white head. The aroma is fresh grain and herbal hops. All in all, it looks and smells like a European pilsner.
So it was disorienting when the first flavors of chocolate and coffee were discovered. Not unpleasant, mind you, but I kept going back and forth between the aroma and taste, and once again marveling at the ingenuity of brewers.
Budweiser and Coors Battle Over Beer Can Claim
FOX, Miller/Coors and InBev all yammering and one suing regarding "truthfulness?" Comedy and irony thy name is MEGA brews and FOX-PGA
What does it really mean to have the "world's most refreshing can?" Well, we are about to find out.
The gauntlet has been set for whether or not a new aluminum innovation from Coors really offers beer drinkers a "smoother, more refreshing pour" from the "world's most refreshing can."
The contender: the King of Beers. Coors' rival company Anheuser-Busch, the North American unit of A-B InBev and brewer of Budweiser and Bud Light, has filed an official complaint with the Nationall Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus about the truthfulness of Coors' advertising campaign.

Jack Nicklaus 'puzzled' by Tiger Woods' recent struggles, injuries
This June 3, 2012, file photo shows Jack Nicklaus, left, and Tiger Woods talking after Woods won the Memorial golf tournament at the Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. Nicklaus referred to Woods as a "puzzle" on Sunday, Feb. 26, 2017, at the Honda Classic. (AP Photo/Tony Dejak, File)
Jack Nicklaus seems like the perfect person to diagnose Tiger Woods' golf problems.
The Golden Bear is the only one ahead of Woods on the all-time majors wins list. But that hasn't given Nicklaus a better feel for Woods' struggles than anyone else.
"I'm a bit puzzled by it," Nicklaus told NBC at the Honda Classic on Sunday. "I've seen Tiger a little bit in the last several months, but he looked great. Physically, he looks fantastic. Mentally, he's talking. He sounded great.
"Then he goes and plays and he either physically can't make it — maybe mentally and physically they work together. I don't really know. I'm not sure if anyone knows. It's sad to me because he's such a great talent. He's a good kid. He's got so much ability. I'm sad to see it happen to him. I hope he gets it corrected."
Woods once appeared destined to break — and possibly shatter — Nicklaus' career mark of 18 majors.
Woods was 32 when he captured major No. 14, claiming the 2008 U.S. Open after a 19-hole playoff thriller with Rocco Mediate. Nicklaus got his 14th at age 35, a two-stroke victory at the 1975 PGA Championship.
But Woods hasn't added to his major collection since.
He went from August 2015 to January without playing due to back issues, then promptly missed the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open. Back spasms forced him to withdraw after one round at the Dubai Desert Classic and kept him out of the Genesis Open, the Honda Classic and even a scheduled press conference.
"That is the biggest puzzle to me that I know," Nicklaus said. "I just don't know where he is and where his mind is."

PGA Tour rookie C.T. Pan hit a wild second shot on No. 18 that hooked left of the green and struck a spectator in the head.
There was blood on the spectator's head and shirt and he received some minor treatment from Palm Beach Gardens Fire Department officers on site. The man, who did not want to give his name to a Palm Beach Post photographer, received a golf ball with Pan's phone number on it as an apology.
"Hit a spectator on 18 today and watched him fall," Pan wrote on his Twitter feed. "Worst feeling I have ever had. Hopefully he is fine."
After The Post originally reported Pan gave the fan a signed ball, Pan tweeted: "It wasn't a signed ball. I put my number on the ball in case needs anything I can help."
A tweeter called Pan a derogatory name, to which he replied: "FYI, I already ordered some shirts for him before you (called me a name)."
Clearly Pan was rattled after the accident, but he kept his focus to birdie the hole with a 28-foot putt. His opening scores of 66 and 68 have the former University of Washington golfer near the top of the leaderboard heading into the weekend. He has two wins on the Canadian PGA Tour and in 2013 was No. 1 in the world amateur rankings.

Honda Classic 2017: 6 wacky facts you didn't know
(Allen Eyestone / The Palm Beach Post)
You probably already know that the Honda Classic takes place at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens.
No doubt you also know that Palm Beach County's biggest tournament hasn't always taken place there. It began as Jackie Gleason's Inverrary Classic in Lauderhill in 1972, moved to Coral Springs from 1984-91, was held in Weston from 1992-95, and came back to two different courses in Coral Springs until 2002… all before finally coming to Palm Beach Gardens, starting at the Country Club at Mirasol and then heading to PGA National in 2007.
But, again, you knew that.
You're also well aware that Tiger Woods won't be playing at the Honda for the third straight year due to injury. And you're obviously well acquainted with the fact that, despite having a lovely home on Jupiter Island, Tiger has never won the Honda.
But did you know that 40 others have won the title, including just four who have multiple wins: Jack Nicklaus (1977 and '78), Johnny Miller (1980 and '83), Mark Calcavecchia (1987 and '98) and Padraig Harrington (2005 and '15)?
Along those lines, here are six other lesser known facts about the Honda Classic.
1. Straight cash, homey
The winner of the debut Jackie Gleason Inverrary Classic back in '72 was Tom Weiskopf, a 16-time winner on the PGA Tour. Weiskopf took home $52,000 for his win, which at the time was more than double the winner's purse at the Masters (just 25 large).
Per the Honda Classic website, the total purse for this year's tourney is $6.4 million, with the winner claiming $1.152 million. That's a total increase of more than 2,115 percent over 45 years.
AMC, the maker of the Gremlin, was the title sponsor of the Honda Classic back in 1982.
2. Car-rying on the tradition
Before Honda became the title sponsor of the tournament in 1982, other companies held that honor.
The year before, it was American Motors Corporation (AMC) that supported the tournament. AMC is famous – or infamous, as the case may be – for producing, among many other cars, the Gremlin, the AMC Pacer and, more recently, the Jeep Cherokee.

3. From caddy to champion
Back in 1987, with the tournament at the TPC at Eagle Trace, 26-year-old Mark Calcavecchia, now of Palm Beach Gardens, won his first Honda Classic title, his second of 13 career PGA Tour victories.
Amazingly, Calcavecchia had worked the Honda as a caddy only the year before.
And as was mentioned before, Calc went on to win the Honda again in 1998.
4. Holing out on 18
Looking for the single best shot in Honda Classic history? I'm here for you.
On Sunday of the 1992 tournament in Weston, Corey Pavin trailed Fred Couples for the lead by two strokes on the 18th hole. Then, from 136 yards out, Pavin hit this shot with an 8-iron:
Pavin holed out for an eagle to force a sudden-death playoff, which he won with a birdie on the second extra hole.
"I heard a 'clunk' and I held my breath," Pavin told the Associated Press of his eagle on 18, "because sometimes they come out."
"This one," the AP said dramatically, "did not."

5. The official vodka of the Honda Classic?
Any huge sporting event like the Honda Classic will have a multitude of sponsors involved. Honda, perhaps obviously, is the title sponsor, but there are many, many more.
The Honda is all about fun, so it only serves to reason that this year's tourney has not only an official beer (Michelob Ultra) and wine (Treasury Wine), but an official rum (Gosling's) and vodka (Tito's Handmade Vodka), as well.
There's an official credit card (PGA Tour MasterCard), an official sunscreen (Image Skincare) and even an official provider of first aid (Jupiter Medical Center).
Long story short, if you're planning on buying a ton of beer, wine and booze with your credit card, getting sick and needing some medical attention, the Honda Classic has you covered.
Hall of Fame golfer Jack Nicklaus and wife, Barbara, who chairs the Nicklaus Children s Health Care Foundation, announced a $60 million pledge to Miami Children s Health System earlier this month.
6. Golden Bear helping local children
Since 2007, the Honda Classic has helped raise money for the Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation, a charity run by Barbara Nicklaus, the wife of golfing great and PBC local Jack Nicklaus.
The organization's goal is to "provide families access to world-class pediatric healthcare" and earlier this month pledged $60 million to the Miami Children's Health System. With the donation, Miami Children's Hospital and its outpatient centers will bear the "Nicklaus Children's Hospital" name beginning in March.
Yes, it's loads of fun for golf fans, but the tournament is also doing loads of good in the community.

Report: WGC event in Mexico City will provide charter for golfers from the Honda Classic
Fearing the trip from Palm Beach County to Mexico City might deter some from competing, a charter jet will be furnished for players who are traveling from the Honda Classic to the World Golf Championship event that is being moved from Donald Trump's Doral course to Mexico's capital city, according to Ken Kennerly, the executive director of the Honda Classic.

The charter, which is be provided by the tournament, will leave Palm Beach International Airport on Monday for the three hour flight for Mexico City. The charter would then take the players from Mexico City to Tampa the following week for the Valspar Championship at Palm Harbor.
"It's my understanding there'll be a charter from Palm Beach for all the players, first class seats to Mexico City and from Mexico City back to Tampa," Kennerly said. "That's part of the deal."
Honda, which is played at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, is schedule from Feb. 23-26. The WGC tournament is the following week.
"The guys that are going to Mexico City would have to go to Miami and hop on a plane there," Kennerly said. "Flying privately out of Palm Beach on a private charter will be very comfortable for these guys."
Various outlets reported today that the WGC event which has been held at Donald Trump's Trump National Doral is relocating to Mexico City. The tournament has been in Miami since 1962.
The news that the tournament is moving from Doral is not a surprise seeing it comes approximately six months after the PGA said it would reevaluate the future of the tournament at Doral because of Trump's controversial comments about Muslims and other non-native Americans.
What is surprising is its new location, Mexico City.
Trump addressed the situation Tuesday evening on Fox News:
"I mean, I just heard that the PGA Tour is taking their tournament out of Miami and moving it to Mexico as an example. They're taking it — it's at Doral, it's at — they used one of my places. They're moving their tournament, it's the Cadillac World Golf Championship. And Cadillac's been a great sponsor, but they're moving it to Mexico. They're moving it to Mexico City which, by the way, I hope they have kidnapping insurance. But they're moving it to Mexico City. And I'm saying, you know, what's going on here? It is so sad when you look at what's going on with our country."
According to the Golf Channel, the relocated tournament will be played at the Club de Golf Chapultepec outside Mexico City and will be sponsored by the Grupo Salinas conglomerate.
Kennerly said the Honda Classic, which has been played in Palm Beach Gardens since 2003 and at PGA National the last 10 years, should not be affected by the WGC event moving to Mexico.
"I honestly don't think it's going to impact us negatively at all," Kennerly said. "We've bene very fortunate to have built up a great event over the last 10 years and the player comments and the feedback playing at PGA National has been extraordinary. They've preferred the PBA national over the other Florida golf courses."
Jack Nicklaus, whose Children's Health Care foundation is the main beneficiary for the Honda, told the Golf Channel today that it's a shame Doral is no longer on the PGA Tour schedule.

PALM BEACH GARDENS — A day after suffering a mild heart attack following the second round of the Honda Classic, PGA golfer Jason Bohn was in "great spirits" Saturday morning.
Reports from @JasBohn team; he slept well and is in "great spirits." Further testing will be done this morning. @TheHondaClassic @PGATOUR
— PGA TOUR Communications (@PGATOURComms) February 27, 2016
"Jason is resting comfortably and in good spirits," his agent, Justin Richmond, said in a statement. "He is scheduled to have more tests this weekend. We know he appreciates the concern from so many people in the PGA Tour family who have reached out."
Tests Saturday found that Friday's scare could have been far worse. Per the Associated Press:
"The 42-year-old golfer had a stent inserted Saturday for what he says was 99 percent blockage of a major artery. In a text exchange with [NBC Sports], Bohn says the blockage was in his left anterior descending artery — known as the 'widow maker' because it could lead to a major heart attack."
Bohn, a Pennsylvania native who now resides in Atlanta, experienced chest pains Friday after finishing his second round at PGA National. According to Honda Classic officials, he sought the assistance of an on-site medic and was advised to take an ambulance to Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center for further testing.
There, he was diagnosed with a mild heart attack, though he was considered stable.
According to a tournament statement, his in-laws are with him, while his wife is home with their children.
Though he was forced to withdraw from the Honda Classic, Bohn had made the cut, shooting rounds of 71-72 to put himself at 3 over par heading into the weekend.

Former Palm Beach Post golf writer Brian Biggane spent some time Friday morning with Johnny Miller and Dan Hicks, who begin their record 17th year as a golf broadcast team with NBC's broadcast of the Honda Classic this weekend.
Q: How would you characterize your relationship 17 years in?
Miller: It doesn't feel like 17 years. It really doesn't. It's gone really smooth. We haven't had a cross word.
Hicks: We really haven't. Which is so unusual in this business. To not have a moment, or two or three, or several. Because it's a pressurized business at times. I think one of the reasons we don't is because we both have an ego, but it's not to the point where it gets in the way of anything we do. We're still all about the team. And we've got a great team. As soon as anybody wants to put the "I" in team, our leader, (director) Tommy Roy, will step in and say, "Let's get back to being who we are." Which is a team. It's amazing to think we haven't had any problems. That's what makes it so enjoyable.
Miller: There's a saying that it's much easier to be loved than to be trusted. And the thing is I have total trust in Dan. Sometimes I'll even be doing stuff I shouldn't even be doing, and it's "He'll be fine." I'm not thinking he's going to screw up; that's not even in the equation. That really helps me. That allows me to do my little thing. He's a funny guy. Very talented with his impersonations. And he laughs at my jokes, which is nice of him. Because he doesn't have to.
Q: Dan, do fans ask you how you feel about Johnny being so critical of players?
Hicks: I get asked all the time: "What's it like to work with Johnny? What's he like?" And I say, what you hear on the air is what he's like. As truthful and as honest a person as I've ever met in my life. And I say that, on the air and off the air. But that's who he is. And that's why he's the best to ever do this, and one of the best to do any kind of analysis across the gamut of sports. Because he's honest. Even experienced broadcasters and former athletes who come in the booth and do what Johnny does, most still struggle at times about being totally and sometimes brutally honest. And that's why Johnny's been the best all these years, because he's never compromised that philosophy. It's who he is as a person, it's who he is as a broadcaster.
Q: Johnny, do you ever think maybe you went too far with your criticisms?
Miller: Oh yeah. Most guys are sort of hovering down the center of the fairway, and I'm just weaving around. So if you don't watch out, you can say some things … sometimes I can get too excited … when I get most in trouble is when I'm trying to be funny. And I'm not trying to be funny, it just comes out. You say, "OK, I'm going to try to be funny now," and it has to be spontaneous. I'm not as wild as I once was, let's put it that way. I try to be a little bit careful. If you knew all the things going through my head it could be real wild. I do have a little bit of a governor, but I am honest to the shots. To me they are who they are. I played at, not a long level of high golf, but I did have a good ball-striking run, so I do know what good golf is. Really good golf. And I know what these guys are capable of. So I hope when people hear me say, "That was a great shot," that's not typical of me. I'm hoping when they hear me say, "That was a great shot," there's some meaning to it.
Q: Last year's Honda had a wild Monday finish, with guys like Ian Poulter and Patrick Reed self-destructing down the stretch. Is that one you remember more than some of the others?
Hicks: When the sparks are flying — and when I say that, I mean guys self-destructing that you don't normally see — that's when this guy (Miller) is at his best. That's why when you get toward the end of the tournament, and it really, really matters is when he rises to the occasion and his interest is piqued a little more than usual. And we had that going in spades in the final round last year. It's so much fun to do that with him.
Miller: I'm so intrigued as a player, even watching other guys. Even if I wasn't going to win, I loved being with other guys, just to see the mannerisms, whether he takes an extra waggle, wasn't getting along with his caddie, getting irritated or complaining about things. Just to watch the guys who can do it, and the guys who can't do it. So to me the choke factor was always the most interesting thing by far of anything in golf. So when I started focusing on the air of what people were focusing on, it was really just an extension of when I played the game, and watched the game and learned about handling pressure. And to ignore that, to me, is to ignore the most interesting part of the game.
What Tiger was able to do on Sundays, and Jack Nicklaus, and Hale Irwin, Tom Watson…. Early in Watson's career, he was known for not being able to close out a tournament, and then he became one of the great closers. That's the greatness of the game. Because there's no game when you have more exposure, time to choke, time to buckle under pressure, than golf. And it's not spontaneous. Tennis is whack and whack; you're not standing there saying "I hope I don't hit this long and left."
Hicks: No doubt, there's this kind of aggressive approach that takes a little of that meticulous manner that you need in the game of golf. I've done a ton of other sports, and still, when the heat's on, when you know the game and have played the game, there's no other sport that has that magnified pressure on one guy trying to close it coming home on the 72nd hole. And that's what makes it such a fascinating game.
Miller: What a lot of players don't realize is that I actually am hoping they can pull it off. Because I get more pleasure out of seeing a guy handle pressure than melt under pressure. I don't want them to think I'm hoping that they'll shank it, or chunk it, or whatever. But if they do do it, it is entertainment to the public. There's a need to know that. When he hits it in the water, a lot of people are going "Yaa-a-a-y!" and a lot are going "Oh, no."
Hicks: Here's what I've seen with Johnny. Not a lot. But in select times, especially in a US Open or a big tournament. He'll verify this. You'll see Tiger or somebody come through when the pressure is on. He'll say what he needs to say, from an analyst point of view, and I'll look over at him and there will actually be tears in his eyes. We'll be in a commercial and I'll say, "Johnny, you look a little emotional," and he will be so overwhelmed and happy for the guy who came through and handled the pressure, because he knows what it's like, that it's a pretty powerful moment to look over at an analyst who has been doing this for years, and he's still so in the moment that he appreciates the guy who just performed when the heat was on.
Miller: The players don't know that. They think I'm a headhunter, you know?
Q: How much back-and-forth do you have with the players, because you don't get the opportunity to interact with them that much?
Miller: What's happened is my generation didn't like me when I started calling a shot a shot. But the young guys who sort of grew up … I'm sure Tiger rolls his eyes with some of the stuff, but he knows it's real. You can't ever say it isn't real. I try to be really accurate and document why it happened, and hopefully what he needs to do to not have it happen again. That's the circle of commentary. You say, "This is what he did wrong, this is what he usually does, this is how he fixes it and he'll be fine." It's sort of like a circle. I'm hoping the kids out there will maybe learn from that. So there's a lot of misperception of that. I'm not a tough person, really. I can be. I guess you'd call it a little bit tough. If a guy does poorly I'm not the softest person. Because if you're a pro, you're supposed to be good, you know?
Q: Are you proud that you're perceived as the toughest analyst in the business?
Miller: Well, I know Nick Faldo, when he got the job at CBS, he said "When I get more comfortable I'm going to make Johnny Miller sound like Polyanna." So everybody thinks you can do that, but apparently it's hard to do, because you just don't see it done. I'm not bragging, I'm just saying it seems like people can't say it. Somebody like Dottie Pepper could be tough if she wanted, because she's a tough gal. She's forthright that way.
Hicks: It's not easy. You've got to throw caution to the wind, be honest with yourself, you've got to take a little heat and know some guys might misconstrue it. He's never compromised. And he's never going to.
Miller: I guess the longevity of it all suggests that I'm not so far over the line that they have to get rid of me. Right?
Q: What are your thoughts on Tiger's future? I've read that you're pulling for him.
Miller: I sort of feel like I've seen his whole life. I used to go to the junior tournaments he played, when he was playing against my boys. I covered his U.S. Amateur wins, two of them. And of course we talked everything about him coming on the Tour. It's been a number of years, right? You're talking about an amazing run of greatness, and then off the cliff, and then hopefully he'll have a second career. I had a little bit of a second career, when I won the Honda twice and the LA Open. I was totally gone for basically two or two-and-a-half years. And I'm hoping that Tiger … he has so much talent that his second career could be pretty darned good. But it remains to be seen.
Being Tiger is so much pressure. Imagine when he comes back, his first tournament. Just think about it, to be Tiger Woods, and everything he says, getting out of his car, how he talks, how he reacts to pressure, whether he bangs clubs, whether he swears. We're going to get every second of it. And imagine the pressure of that when he doesn't know if he's going to do well. He used to have that pressure, but he also knew he was going to kick butt. So it was really not that big a deal. But now he's got no idea whether he's going to shoot 68 or 78. I don't care how good he's practicing. That is tough. That is very hard to deal with.
I hear a lot of little rumors that maybe he's done, and I'm hoping that's not the case. I'm hoping he's taking baby steps, so to speak, and be real honest, to where he says, "You know, my game is not that good, so maybe I'm going to go and test it. I'm really hoping to make the cut." Instead of saying, "I'm here to win." That sounds good, but that's just putting more pressure on you. So if you say, "I'm trying really hard to make the cut," just building blocks up. If I was advising him that's what I'd tell him. So then the public would say, "OK, make the cut, that's good."
Hicks: That would be a total transition for a guy who's always said, "I don't show up for a tournament unless I expect to win." It's tough. I have never underestimated him. Like Johnny said, we've been covering him since he was a teenager. So I've never underestimated him, but the whole playing field with him has really changed. From a confidence standpoint, an injury standpoint, it's not the same context at all. But I'd be making an error if I said he's never going to win again. I just cannot believe that would not happen. A major? That's another story. But I would be surprised if he never won a golf tournament again. I don't know how you feel about that.
Miller: Let's put it this way: If he's going to think about doing well at the Masters, he's going to have to play one of our tournaments before. At least Houston. It's a wide-open course. Just to see where his game is at, and his expectations. Now don't say too much about your expectation. I'm sort of acting like he's sitting here and he's younger than I am. But just find out where you're at. Don't act like "I'm coming here to win," when you're a mile away from it.
So it's hard to talk to these guys. I was the same way. I had a magazine, I think it was Esquire, write about "The Marketing of a Loser." On the cover of Esquire! I had gone into that slump and was doing pretty well with my endorsements, and [that] was the headline in the magazine. He would technically be in the same boat, but 100 times more than me. It's news when a guy who had been that great falls down. But it's also a good story. So I'm hoping.
Hicks: We still want him to do well. We'd love to have him back.

A review: Jack Nicklaus Ice Cream is pretty good
Jack Nicklaus ice cream. (Contributed)
The problem was too much free ice cream.
When you throw a freezer chest of free ice cream in a room with sports writers, it will be opened often. But when said ice cream is delivered in pints, rather than single-serving sizes, not everyone's going to grab one.
As a reporter, it is, however, my solemn duty to sample free food.

With 14 flavors to choose from, I went with Coffee and Donuts, mostly for the Donuts. Let's go into food review mode:
Working with an injured spoon – plastic is no match for things deeply frozen – I got a strong, sweet coffee flavor on the nose. The cinnamon hits right after.
Coffee and Donuts.
The donut pieces are better in theory; as a fan of texture in my ice cream, I was really excited about unearthing a few. But instead of the crunch of the Oreo in cookies n' cream or the pleasant sponginess of cake pieces, the donut bits were just mostly tiny cinnamon sugar crumbles. I dug up one that was about the size of an almond, which was like eating an almond-sized piece of cinnamon sugar. My persistence was rewarded with three small pieces of actual donut.
Overall, a vaguely spicy, very sweet take on the familiar coffee-and-cream flavor. I ate far too much of it.
Coffee and Donuts is not one of the three flavors that will hit stores in March. Nicklaus is rolling out Homemade Vanilla, Warm Spiced Butter Pecan and Salted Caramel Toffee. No chocolate or fruity offerings yet.
The ice cream can be found in Publix stores in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie and Monroe Counties.
Even though I may or may not have tried all of them, here are the 14 flavors of Jack Nicklaus Ice Cream, ranked:
Cookies and Cream.
Triple Chocolate.
Black Cherry – this high because esteemed former Post colleague Brian Biggane said it was "excellent … I approve."
Mint and Chip.
Salted Caramel Toffee.
Homemade Vanilla.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl.
Warm Spiced Butter Pecan.
Mango Crisp.
Blueberry Cheesecake.
Pineapple Upside Down Cake.
Strawberry Lemonade.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings Book Review
There are some books that are so much a part of our culture that there is no denying their larger cultural impact.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, by the late writer, poet, and civil rights activist Maya Angelou, was published in 1969. The most recent edition, with a foreword by Oprah Winfrey, was published in 2009.
The book is an autobiography and the story of Angelou's childhood. Born to a poor African American family, Maya and her brother Bailey spend the first years of life living with their grandmother in a small town in the American south. Though she is dealing with abandonment issues and the pervasive prejudice of the time (which unfortunately still exists today), Maya still finds joy and pleasure in learning.
Her life is forever altered when she is assaulted by a much older man after returning to her mother in St. Louis. Later, as a teenager who by then is living in San Fransisco, she discovers the power of literature and the strength that comes when you learn to love yourself.
Why I have never read this book, I don't know. But I am glad I did.
Her experience as a girl is both universal and powerfully specific to the era she grew up in. Finding confidence, especially after a hard girlhood, sometimes only occurs long after we have grown up. Looking back at my own teenage years, I wish I would have had the ability to develop that same self-belief that Angelou was able to manifest at that same age. Perhaps some things might have turned out differently.
I can only imagine the emotional digging it took to excavate the crap from her youth and put it into a narrative that we can all find something in common. It takes courage to do that. When it is done well (as she obviously has accomplished), it opens the door for readers to possibly do the same with their own lives and emotional baggage.
Do I recommend it? Absolutely.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is available wherever books are sold.

Civil Rights Queen: Constance Baker Motley and the Struggle for Equality Book Review
No social movement that aims to create a better world is without its internal struggle. While the men are at the forefront, it is often the women who do the work. But few are given the spotlight and the respect they deserve.
The late Constance Baker Motley was one of these women. Her story is told in the new biography Civil Rights Queen: Constance Baker Motley and the Struggle for Equality. Written by Tomiko Brown-Nagin, it was published in January. Born to immigrants from the Caribbean in 1921, she came of age in an era in which both her gender and her skin color created barriers. Instead of just submitting to these barriers, she broke them. After graduating from law school, she was the only female on staff working for the legal team of the NAACP under the leadership of the late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.
Balancing work, marriage, and motherhood, Baker Motley smashed both Jim Crow to bits and created a large crack in the glass ceiling. Her career contained a lot of the firsts: the first African-American woman who was a state Senator in NY and the federal judiciary, and the first woman elected as Manhattan Borough President.
As a product of the American education system, I am utterly dismayed that she is not a household name. She was not just a groundbreaker, but a rule breaker. These days, it is perfectly normal for a woman to have the figurative balls of her job, her marriage, and her children in the air at the same time. But not back then. In fighting for the rights of both women and Black Americans, she paved the way for equality that has become the norm and unfortunately, still has to be fought for.
Civil Rights Queen: Constance Baker Motley and the Struggle for Equality is available wherever books are sold.

The Wonder Years Review
The Wonder Years is one of the most beloved television series of the modern era. The story of growing up from the perspective of Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage) speaks to the 12 year old in all of us.
The reboot of the series premiered on Tuesday on ABC. As in the original program, the story is set in 1968, but in Montgomery, Alabama. Our protagonist is 12 year old Dean Williams (Elisha Williams). Narrating the story from decades in the future as the adult Dean is Don Cheadle. As Dean starts on his journey from childhood to adulthood, the Civil Right movement plays on in the background affecting everything and everyone around him.
The Wonder Years is one of the best new series of the fall. It has the charm and nostalgia of its predecessor, while feeling relevant with the issues that African-Americans and other people of color are still dealing with. It hits both the heart and the head, making the viewer think while reminding us of the joys and perils of being on the precipice of our teenage years.
Do I recommend it? Yes
The Wonder Years airs on ABC on Tuesday at 8:30 PM.

Respect Movie Review
When we experience trauma, the emotional scars have a tendency to last long after the event that created the trauma is over. When it resurfaces and starts to take control, there are two options. The first is to look it in the eye and stop running from it. The other is to let it take the wheel.
The new Aretha Franklin biopic, Respect, premiered last weekend. It tells the story of the late and iconic performer in two sections: her early years and the late 1950's to the early 1970's, when her career was just taking off. Born and raised in Detroit, Aretha's parents, C.L. and Barbara Franklin (Forest Whittaker and Audra McDonald) divorced when she was young. C.L. knew that his daughter was a musical child prodigy (played as a child by Skye Dakota Turner) and was more than willing to promote her gift to anyone who would listen. He was also controlling and unwilling to let her make her own decisions when it came to music.
In 1959, the adult Aretha (Jennifer Hudson) is eager to see her dream of becoming a professional musician turn into reality. But after multiple albums, she is at a crossroads. Aretha can either let her father dictate her career or take a chance on going her own way, musically speaking and letting her husband, Ted White (Marlon Wayans) manage her. But the marriage is not all sunshine and roses. While she is on the path to becoming a global superstar, the fight for Civil Rights continues on with Aretha on the forefront.
This movie is amazing. Hudson was born to play this role. She does not merely play the part, she embodies Franklin. There points in which I had to wonder if I was watching a documentary or a fictionalized adaptation of her biography. If this film and Hudson specifically does not walk away with an Oscar, something is wrong with the voting. Though some scenes could have been cut down a little, it is a wonderful film that reminds us of the power of overcoming what holds us back.
Respect is currently in theaters.

Throwback Thursday-The Ernest Green Story (1993)
To be the first in anything is to become a hero. It is also a difficult journey that tests the strongest among us. Ernest Green is a part of the Little Rock Nine, a group of African-American students who were chosen to desegregate Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. He is also the first African-American student to graduate from the school in 1958.
In 1993, his story was told in The Ernest Green Story. Morris Chestnut played the title role in the television movie.
I feel like this is one of those movies we should all see, regardless of race or ethnicity. America in 2018 is not the same America of the late 1950's. But we are also, not so far away from the period. If nothing else, this film is not only a reminder of how far we have come, it is also a reminder that the battle for civil rights and true equality still needs to be fought.
I recommend it.

RIP Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali passed away yesterday.
Known the world over as the face of boxing, he was also politically outspoken.
Starting his career during the civil rights era, his presence helped to break down barriers.
In the 1960's, Ali openly refused to serve in Vietnam, citing his then recent conversion to Islam as one of several reasons for being a conscientious objector.
During the 1970's and 1980's, Ali's fame grew. Diagnosed with Parkinsons in the early 1980's, he slowly withdrew from public life.
Remembered as a boxer, a political activist and a very wise man, Muhammad Ali is and will always be the greatest.
RIP, sir.

Time travel is such a great trope that I just had to cover it. The most fun was when time travelers didn't really want to go, but something or other swept them along anyway.
Unintentional time travelers are such a fun idea to explore that I've gone to this well several times.
Concord is all about unintentional and intentional time travel.
Lenox, the real time traveler, is testing out a new device when Reed is accidentally swept along, and Reed's ancestor is also displaced, as is Lenox's own ancestor.
Right before the start of the Xindi War, Malcolm is accidentally transported to 1775 Concord, Massachusetts.
In Crackerjack, inadvertent time travel occurs because the errant pulse shot from Empress Hoshi (and the Temper story) hits Wesley and Geordi's shuttle.
For Wesley, the trip to 1941 Washington, DC is a voyage that he would rather not have taken.
For Geordi, the voyage to Washington, DC in 1941 is the occasion to meet Rosemary Parker, although he also feels the effects of the prejudice of the time.
The Traveler is to blame for Chuck McBride and Tripp Tucker traveling in time.
McBride the jokester is yanked out of Upper Bavaria, but it's never made clear as to exactly where and when he ends up.
Tucker's personal temporal displacement gets him to the 1944 liberation of the Dachau concentration camp.
Another pesky anomaly sends Porthos forward in time, in The Continuing Adventures of Porthos.
The NX-01's resident quadruped takes his temporal displacement in stride, and makes friends with Data's cat, Spot, although Porthos does miss Archer.
For both kicks back in time, the entire ship unwittingly travels in time.
No one is left behind when the Enterprise is kicked back in time.
In Theorizing, whatever is leaping Sam Beckett around does it to Jonathan Archer, too.
Archer's mission is to help Sam Beckett's wife, Donna Elise, move on with her life.
Dr. Beckett's mission is to convince the Xindi Humanoid, Degra, that the deaths of millions of humans like Lizzie Tucker should be on his conscience.
I adore this trope so much that I am continually trying to figure out another way to shoehorn it into my fan fiction.
