CNN's Jake Tapper On McCarthyism, Trump And The 'Jar Jar Binks Principle' (Terry Gross, Fresh Air)
As CNN's chief Washington correspondent, Jake Tapper is often focused on breaking news and the latest political stories, but the host of The Lead and State of the Union switched things up a bit for his latest project.
Tapper's new novel, The Hellfire Club, takes place in 1954 Washington, D.C., during Sen. Joseph McCarthy's Communist "witch hunt." He says that although 64 years separate his characters from today's political players, many of the themes apply.
"I thought it would be fun to try to capture the 'swamp' and some other things about Washington and talk about 2018 in some ways, but ... from the lens of 1954," Tapper says.
Tapper describes McCarthy's efforts to attack and ruin opponents as "very resonant" to the current political climate: "They say history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. And there's a lot of rhyming when you read about McCarthy and when you think about President Trump."

The return of The Negro Motorist Green Book - ThinkProgress.org
Back in 1936, during the most racially restrictive period of segregation in the United States, a Harlem man named Victor Hugo Green began publishing a slim, pocket-sized travel guide for black Americans. Green, a postal worker by trade, had observed the nation's burgeoning car culture and surmised that some black people with the means to own an automobile would want to get out on the open road and travel the nation. But given the capricious and life-threatening nature of Jim Crow laws, Green reasoned that a black motorist would need to know in advance where it was permissible for them to stop for food, fuel, or overnight accommodations....

More Teacher Walkouts Across The U.S. And How Prisons Became The New Asylums (Diane Rehm, On My Mind)
Thousands of teachers in Arizona and Colorado walked out of their classrooms this week to demand higher pay and increased school funding. This follows a string of similar protests in West Virginia, Oklahoma and Kentucky. Can this lead to meaningful change within the country’s public school system?
Then, the three largest providers of psychiatric care in the U.S. are not hospitals or clinics, but jails: Rikers Island in New York, L.A. County Jail in Los Angeles and the Cook County Jail in Chicago. A new book tells the story of how our jails and prisons became America’s new asylums.

How America's White Power Movement Coalesced After The Vietnam War (Terry Gross, Fresh Air)
In Aug. 2017, many Americans were shocked to see neo-Nazis and members of the so called alt-right demonstrating in Charlottesville, Va. But author Kathleen Belew says the roots of the rally were actually decades in the making.
Belew, who has spent more than 10 years studying America's White Power movement, traces the movement's rise to the end of the Vietnam War, and the feeling among some "white power" veterans that the country had betrayed them.
"To be clear, I'm not arguing that this is at all representative of Vietnam veterans — this is a tiny, tiny percentage of returning veterans," Belew says. "But it is a large and instrumental number of people within the White Power movement — and they play really important roles in changing the course of movement action."
In her new book, Bring the War Home, Belew argues that as disparate racist groups came together, the movement's goal shifted from one of "vigilante activism" to something more wide-reaching: "It's aimed at unseating the federal government. ... It's aimed at undermining infrastructure and currency to foment race war."

A New National Memorial To Victims Of Lynching (Joshua Johnson, The 1A)
In the century after the Civil War, more than 4,000 black Americans were lynched. Men, women, and children were publicly tortured and killed in acts of mob violence meant to incite fear.
“These lynchings were terrorism,” says a report from the Equal Justice Initiative.
The 2015 report found that there had been hundreds more lynchings than previously thought, because “there is an astonishing absence of any effort to acknowledge, discuss, or address lynching.”

“These lynchings were terrorism,” says a report from the Equal Justice Initiative.
The 2015 report found that there had been hundreds more lynchings than previously thought, because “there is an astonishing absence of any effort to acknowledge, discuss, or address lynching.”
Many of the communities where lynchings took place have gone to great lengths to erect markers and monuments that memorialize the Civil War, the Confederacy, and historical events during which local power was violently reclaimed by white Southerners. These communities celebrate and honor the architects of racial subordination and political leaders known for their belief in white supremacy. There are very few monuments or memorials that address the history and legacy of lynching in particular or the struggle for racial equality more generally. Most communities do not actively or visibly recognize how their race relations were shaped by terror lynching.Now the EJI is changing that. The National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, opens this week. It is the first national memorial for the victims of lynching. In it, 800 pillars represent counties where lynchings took place. Some of those counties are using this moment to revisit their past. Others are not.

Why Pius IX Might Be The 'Most Important Pope' In Modern Church History (Terry Gross, Fresh Air)
