Blood legacy : reckoning with a family's story of slavery / by Renton, Alex,1961-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.When British Caribbean slavery was abolished across most of the British Empire in 1833, it was not the newly liberated who received compensation, but the tens of thousands of enslavers who were paid millions of pounds in government money. The descendants of some of those slave owners are among the wealthiest and most powerful people in Britain today. Alex Renton explores what inheritance - political, economic, moral and spiritual - has been passed to the descendants of the slave owners and the descendants of the enslaved.

Cinematography by Buddy Squires with Anthony Savini ; edited by Michael Levine ; original music by Doug Wamble.With Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Kharey Wise, Angela Black, Calvin O. Butts III.In April 1989, Trisha Meili, a 28-year-old investment banker, was raped and savagely beaten while jogging in the park. The shocking crime came in a city already known, as one interviewee describes it, as "the capital of racial violence," and media, politicians, cops, ordinary citizens, and everyone else demanded that whoever was responsible be brought to justice immediately, if not sooner. And although there were dozens of other black and Latino youths "wilding" (i.e., threatening and/or attacking others) in the park that night, only teenagers Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, and Korey Wise, all of whom were interviewed for this film, were ultimately arrested and convicted, based on confessions to the police who interrogated them. All five went to jail, serving between 6 and 13 years while the district attorney's office congratulated itself on a job well done. But the confessions, portions of which we see in file footage, were bogus. If not actually coerced, they were certainly the products of five scared, confused, suggestible youths willing to say almost anything simply so they could go home.E.DVD ; English 5.1 surround ; 2.0 stereo ; widescreen presentation.

Trudeau [videorecording] : Justin & Pierre Eliiot / by Distribution Select.; National Film Board of Canada.;
Disc 1. God save Justin Trudeau -- The champions, part 1: Unlikely warriors -- The champions, part 2: Trappings of power.Disc 2. The champions, part 3: The final battle -- Dancing around the table, part 1 -- Comfort and indifference.This collection explores the legacy of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, with several major works from the NFB. Both a visionary and an idealist, Trudeau changed the face of 20th century Canada, and his influence is still being felt today. He's a key figure in Quebec and Canadian history, an inspiration for several generations. Trudeau came onto the scene in tumultuous times that saw many revolutionary changes, such as the legalization of divorce, the decriminalization of abortion and homosexuality, the abolishment of the death penalty and, of course, the October Crisis. The indelible mark he made on society is still in evidence today - perhaps even more so since his son, Justin Trudeau, was elected the 23rd Prime Minister of Canada. With a vision to make the world a better place through justice and democracy, Pierre Elliott Trudeau championed multiculturalism, a principle that had a profound impact on Canadian society.E.DVD, full screen presentation, Dolby Digital 5.1.

New power : how power works in our hyperconnected world- and how to make it work for you / by Heimans, Jeremy,author.; Timms, Henry,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."From two influential and visionary thinkers comes a big idea that is changing the way movements catch fire and ideas spread in our highly connected world. For the vast majority of human history, power has been held by the few. "Old power" is closed, inaccessible, and leader-driven. Once gained, it is jealously guarded, and the powerful spend it carefully, like currency. But the technological revolution of the past two decades has made possible a new form of power, one that operates differently, like a current. "New power" is made by many; it is open, participatory, often leaderless, and peer-driven. Like water or electricity, it is most forceful when it surges. The goal with new power is not to hoard it, but to channel it. New power is behind the rise of participatory communities like Facebook and YouTube, sharing services like Uber and Airbnb, and rapid-fire social movements like Brexit and #BlackLivesMatter. It explains the unlikely success of Barack Obama's 2008 campaign and the unlikelier victory of Donald Trump in 2016. And it gives ISIS its power to propagate its brand and distribute its violence. Even old power institutions like the Papacy, NASA, and LEGO have tapped into the strength of the crowd to stage improbable reinventions. In New Power, the business leaders/social visionaries Jeremy Heimans and Henry Timms provide the tools for using new power to successfully spread an idea or lead a movement in the twenty-first century. Drawing on examples from business, politics, and social justice, they explain the new world we live in--a world where connectivity has made change shocking and swift and a world in which everyone expects to participate."--
