I remember people used to rock hella North Face gear and puff coats in the summer to stay true to the North Pole theme. Seriously, it was that deep. Sharing this piece of Oakland culture is important to me! I love that \u003cem>The North Pole\u003c/em> highlights what is happening right now in urban cities around the country while at the same time being able to put the magnifying glass over the environmental issues that have been devastating communities for generations.

Like everyone I know (and yes, I do know people who live in exotic red states like Wisconsin and even Florida), I’m horrified by what Trump’s doing. I’m terrified. The Muslim ban, the so-called wall, the reversal on Standing Rock and Keystone XL? It’s all bad. But I also know that horror and outrage will only get us so far. We also need joy. We need stories of hope and possibility, stories of rebellion and ridiculousness, stories that are bold, beautiful, and even make us laugh a little.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Amaya:\u003c/strong> I think with Trump’s election, it just gives us more to cover, more to touch on that the American people are starving for right now. People want to feel like someone is listening, like someone cares about what’s going on in their city, in their community, and in their lives. Why are people marching right now? Because they are frustrated, they don’t feel heard and they don’t feel like their concerns are being taken into consideration or prioritized. This series gives us an opportunity to have our voices heard, to reach people who have either never thought about these issues as well as the folks who want to join the choir. Art, comedy and media continue to be powerful tools and I’m hoping this series can be another force in uniting us in a positive way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12735387\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12735387 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-800x452.jpeg\" alt=\"On set during the making of 'The North Pole' at The Hub in Oakland.\" width=\"800\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-800x452.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-768x433.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-1020x576.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-1920x1084.jpeg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-1180x666.jpeg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-960x542.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-375x212.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-520x294.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866.jpeg 1986w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">On set during the making of ‘The North Pole’ at The Hub in Oakland. \u003ccite>(Photo: Chloe Veltman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tell us about the process of making the series.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Healey:\u003c/strong> We held auditions for the four main characters, and were lucky to find the perfect actors for each role in Reyna, Donte Clark, Eli Marienthal and Santiago Rosas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We shot over 14 days last summer and fall.

Working with the Oakland-based environmental, labor and cultural activism non-profit Movement Generation, we’ll partner with groups fighting for racial justice, climate resilience, and working against displacement. The goal is to make this more than just a web series; we want \u003cem>The North Pole\u003c/em> to be be a creative organizing platform to amplify community activism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does the project draw a connection between environmental issues and gentrification issues?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Healey:\u003c/strong> \u003cem>The North Pole\u003c/em> is a metaphor for the parallels between urban displacement and ecological disruption. Here in North Oakland and up in the Arctic, the climate is changing — and the native species (Oakland natives here, polar bears there) is going extinct. But for us making this show, it’s not just a metaphor. This is our home. This is our environment. One of the things we want to challenge with the show is this idea that “climate activism” is just about stopping greenhouse gases or saving the whales. It’s really about changing the fundamental nature of this hyper-capitalist economy that is destroying environments across the globe. And that includes for poor people and people of color who are being pushed out of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12735388\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12735388\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-800x451.jpeg\" alt=\"A poster advertising the Greengos bioengineering firm, captured on set during a shoot for 'The North Pole'.\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-800x451.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-768x433.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-1020x575.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-1920x1082.jpeg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-1180x665.jpeg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-960x541.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-375x211.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-520x293.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427.jpeg 2007w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A poster advertising the fictional Greengos bioengineering firm, captured on set during a shoot for ‘The North Pole.’ \u003ccite>(Photo: Chloe Veltman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Both with gentrification and climate change, a lot of people throw up their hands and say, “What’s the point?

A lot of the issues we cover in the series are really tough and actually aren’t fictitious. People in real life are experiencing what these characters are going through right now in this country. The humor makes it all easy to digest and allows people to start to have some of these difficult conversations which is the first step in leading to change. Humor is an ice-breaker, a tolerance tickler, as well as a thinking activator — all key ingredients to sparking change.

Good comedy cuts through the bullsh-t. Laughter is contagious; exactly the type of positive energy we need right now. Most political art, especially art around climate change, is depressing as hell. “Look, here’s another part of the world that is dying. We’re all going to die soon! But hey, come get involved!” isn’t the type of inspiration that gets people out of bed in the morning, let alone join a movement. We’re here to change that. \u003cem>The North Pole\u003c/em> isn’t a traditional sitcom. This is a dramatic comedy with unapologetic progressive politics. We start off with the laughs.

In Oakland, in Detroit, at Standing Rock, folks are creating a new vision of justice and radical ecology. We’re going to broadcast that vision, and we’re going to remind people that laughter and joy are a form of medicine, and that we all need to keep going, now more than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Josh Healey with musician Boots Riley in a video about environmental justice:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BROTHER EARTH (with Boots Riley and Josh Healey)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/lQJm9-wwlsQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"Q.Logo.Break\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\n",

I knew this was the kind of project people would be able to relate to and fall in love with for multiple reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12735386\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12735386\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-800x451.jpeg\" alt=\"Reyna Amaya and Donte Clark in 'The North Pole'. \" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-800x451.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-768x433.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-1020x575.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-960x541.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-375x211.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-520x293.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824.jpeg 1034w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Reyna Amaya and Donte Clark in ‘The North Pole’. \u003ccite>(Photo: Danny Telles)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You wrote and filmed the series before Trump got elected.

Like everyone I know (and yes, I do know people who live in exotic red states like Wisconsin and even Florida), I’m horrified by what Trump’s doing. I’m terrified. The Muslim ban, the so-called wall, the reversal on Standing Rock and Keystone XL? It’s all bad. But I also know that horror and outrage will only get us so far. We also need joy. We need stories of hope and possibility, stories of rebellion and ridiculousness, stories that are bold, beautiful, and even make us laugh a little.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Amaya:\u003c/strong> I think with Trump’s election, it just gives us more to cover, more to touch on that the American people are starving for right now. People want to feel like someone is listening, like someone cares about what’s going on in their city, in their community, and in their lives. Why are people marching right now? Because they are frustrated, they don’t feel heard and they don’t feel like their concerns are being taken into consideration or prioritized. This series gives us an opportunity to have our voices heard, to reach people who have either never thought about these issues as well as the folks who want to join the choir. Art, comedy and media continue to be powerful tools and I’m hoping this series can be another force in uniting us in a positive way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12735387\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12735387 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-800x452.jpeg\" alt=\"On set during the making of 'The North Pole' at The Hub in Oakland.\" width=\"800\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-800x452.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-768x433.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-1020x576.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-1920x1084.jpeg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-1180x666.jpeg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-960x542.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-375x212.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-520x294.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866.jpeg 1986w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">On set during the making of ‘The North Pole’ at The Hub in Oakland. \u003ccite>(Photo: Chloe Veltman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tell us about the process of making the series.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Healey:\u003c/strong> We held auditions for the four main characters, and were lucky to find the perfect actors for each role in Reyna, Donte Clark, Eli Marienthal and Santiago Rosas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We shot over 14 days last summer and fall.

Here in North Oakland and up in the Arctic, the climate is changing — and the native species (Oakland natives here, polar bears there) is going extinct. But for us making this show, it’s not just a metaphor. This is our home. This is our environment. One of the things we want to challenge with the show is this idea that “climate activism” is just about stopping greenhouse gases or saving the whales. It’s really about changing the fundamental nature of this hyper-capitalist economy that is destroying environments across the globe. And that includes for poor people and people of color who are being pushed out of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12735388\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12735388\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-800x451.jpeg\" alt=\"A poster advertising the Greengos bioengineering firm, captured on set during a shoot for 'The North Pole'.\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-800x451.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-768x433.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-1020x575.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-1920x1082.jpeg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-1180x665.jpeg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-960x541.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-375x211.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-520x293.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427.jpeg 2007w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A poster advertising the fictional Greengos bioengineering firm, captured on set during a shoot for ‘The North Pole.’ \u003ccite>(Photo: Chloe Veltman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Both with gentrification and climate change, a lot of people throw up their hands and say, “What’s the point?

The humor makes it all easy to digest and allows people to start to have some of these difficult conversations which is the first step in leading to change. Humor is an ice-breaker, a tolerance tickler, as well as a thinking activator — all key ingredients to sparking change.

Good comedy cuts through the bullsh-t. Laughter is contagious; exactly the type of positive energy we need right now. Most political art, especially art around climate change, is depressing as hell. “Look, here’s another part of the world that is dying. We’re all going to die soon! But hey, come get involved!” isn’t the type of inspiration that gets people out of bed in the morning, let alone join a movement. We’re here to change that. \u003cem>The North Pole\u003c/em> isn’t a traditional sitcom. This is a dramatic comedy with unapologetic progressive politics. We start off with the laughs.

In Oakland, in Detroit, at Standing Rock, folks are creating a new vision of justice and radical ecology. We’re going to broadcast that vision, and we’re going to remind people that laughter and joy are a form of medicine, and that we all need to keep going, now more than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Josh Healey with musician Boots Riley in a video about environmental justice:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BROTHER EARTH (with Boots Riley and Josh Healey)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/lQJm9-wwlsQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Now their biography of Maya Angelou’s life will be broadcast as part of the \u003cem>American Masters\u003c/em> series this month on PBS.

At that particular time Maya Angelou was one of my radio hosts. I would spend three to four days a month with her in either her Winston-Salem home, her New York Harlem brownstone, or on the road with her because she traveled on a bus like a country music singer. That’s how she got from place to place for her speaking engagements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob Hercules: In 1999 I was working on a film for a non-profit organization, Prevent Child Abuse America. We decided to see if we could get Maya Angelou to narrate the film since we knew it was a cause dear to her heart because she had been victim of sexual abuse. She immediately agreed to do it so I flew down to Winston-Salem to meet her at a studio. We recorded the voiceover and then spent some time talking with her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12697439\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12697439\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/Rita-Coburn-Whack-800x865.jpg\" alt=\"Rita Coburn Whack\" width=\"800\" height=\"865\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/Rita-Coburn-Whack-800x865.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/Rita-Coburn-Whack-160x173.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/Rita-Coburn-Whack-768x831.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/Rita-Coburn-Whack-240x260.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/Rita-Coburn-Whack-375x406.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/Rita-Coburn-Whack-520x562.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/Rita-Coburn-Whack.jpg 943w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rita Coburn Whack\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What did Maya Angelou mean to you before you met her?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RCW: I lived in a little town outside of Chicago. We had chickens on the block. The library was in the basement of the village hall and across from it was the jail. You’d have to be a very brave little girl to run in there and run as fast as you could to get a book. Pippi Longstocking and Encyclopedia Brown — those were the books that were available to me. One day I saw \u003cem>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,\u003c/em> and a black woman was on the back cover. I hadn’t seen that before. That’s how precious that book was to me. It was the first book by a black woman that I saw. I grabbed that book and I ran all the way home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BH: I remember when I read \u003cem>Caged Bird\u003c/em> for the first time, it was a long time ago, and I don’t know if it was in a college class, but I remember for me as a white privileged middle class male, growing up in a town that had hardly any African Americans, it was a profound experience for me to read that book because of her description of the viciousness of racism at the time of the Jim Crow south, growing up in Arkansas, and the town that was divided. One side was white and one side was black. The way she conveyed it was different from other books I had read about the same subject. For one thing there was no bitterness in her voice.

Now their biography of Maya Angelou’s life will be broadcast as part of the \u003cem>American Masters\u003c/em> series this month on PBS. We caught up with both filmmakers, separately, over the phone to talk about their collaboration with each other and with Maya Angelou herself. (Edited for length and clarity).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Before you made the documentary, had you previously met or worked with Maya Angelou?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rita Coburn Whack: From 2006-2010 I worked with Oprah Radio in Chicago. At that particular time Maya Angelou was one of my radio hosts. I would spend three to four days a month with her in either her Winston-Salem home, her New York Harlem brownstone, or on the road with her because she traveled on a bus like a country music singer. That’s how she got from place to place for her speaking engagements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob Hercules: In 1999 I was working on a film for a non-profit organization, Prevent Child Abuse America. We decided to see if we could get Maya Angelou to narrate the film since we knew it was a cause dear to her heart because she had been victim of sexual abuse. She immediately agreed to do it so I flew down to Winston-Salem to meet her at a studio. We recorded the voiceover and then spent some time talking with her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12697439\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12697439\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/Rita-Coburn-Whack-800x865.jpg\" alt=\"Rita Coburn Whack\" width=\"800\" height=\"865\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/Rita-Coburn-Whack-800x865.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/Rita-Coburn-Whack-160x173.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/Rita-Coburn-Whack-768x831.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/Rita-Coburn-Whack-240x260.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/Rita-Coburn-Whack-375x406.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/Rita-Coburn-Whack-520x562.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/Rita-Coburn-Whack.jpg 943w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rita Coburn Whack\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What did Maya Angelou mean to you before you met her?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The library was in the basement of the village hall and across from it was the jail. You’d have to be a very brave little girl to run in there and run as fast as you could to get a book. Pippi Longstocking and Encyclopedia Brown — those were the books that were available to me. One day I saw \u003cem>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,\u003c/em> and a black woman was on the back cover. I hadn’t seen that before. That’s how precious that book was to me. It was the first book by a black woman that I saw. I grabbed that book and I ran all the way home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BH: I remember when I read \u003cem>Caged Bird\u003c/em> for the first time, it was a long time ago, and I don’t know if it was in a college class, but I remember for me as a white privileged middle class male, growing up in a town that had hardly any African Americans, it was a profound experience for me to read that book because of her description of the viciousness of racism at the time of the Jim Crow south, growing up in Arkansas, and the town that was divided. One side was white and one side was black. The way she conveyed it was different from other books I had read about the same subject. For one thing there was no bitterness in her voice. It was done with a sense of grace and it was done with a sense of poetry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second thing was many years later at my office on the day of Bill Clinton’s inauguration, January of 1993, I shut down my office and we just watched.

"content": "\u003cp>\"You don't look like you're from around here,\" a young Adolphus Busch is told as he arrives in America from Germany to pursue his dream of making beer. So begins Budweiser's new Super Bowl ad, released earlier this week into an ongoing political maelstrom over immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ad depicts the company's founder trudging through swamps and mud, surviving a steamboat fire and being greeted with outright hostility before getting to St. Louis and meeting Eberhard Anheuser — i.e., the Anheuser in Anheuser-Busch. Despite the beer giant's protestations that the ad is not political, it has hit a nerve among conservatives for taking a seemingly pro-immigrant stance at a time of widespread protests against President Trump's ban on travelers from seven Muslim-majority nations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But lost in all the brouhaha is the true story of the 19th-century German immigrants behind the rise of American brewing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, let's start with a little historical nitpicking with that ad. Historian Maureen Ogle, author of \u003cem>Ambitious Brew: The Story of American Beer,\u003c/em> says that when Busch arrived in St. Louis, Mo., he didn't just run into Eberhard Anheuser — he married his daughter and took over the small brewery that Anheuser, a prosperous soap-maker, had acquired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, neither Anheuser nor Busch was the source of the original Budweiser. Ogle says the Bud brand was started by one of Busch's friends, Carl Conrad. Busch eventually bought Budweiser from Conrad — but that happened in the 1880s, long after he'd already become a successful brewer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's one thing in the Budweiser ad that rings true to history: the anti-German immigrant hostility that Busch is depicted enduring on the streets. \"Go back home!\" a man tells him angrily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we don't know if Busch himself ever walked through such hostile crowds, Ogle says the 1850s were certainly an era marked by \"xenophobic turmoil.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Busch was part of a large wave of German immigrants, including Frederick Miller and Frederick Pabst, who helped build American brewing in the mid-1800s. The still-new nation was in the middle of a great debate over what it meant to be an American. And it was seeing a huge influx of immigrants — not just from Germany, but Ireland, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Both the Irish and Germans came from cultures where alcohol was a respectable habit,\" says Ogle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many native-born Americans were worried about how all those newcomers, and their customs, would affect national identity, Ogle says. That's partly what gave rise to the temperance movement. It wasn't just about condemning alcohol, it was about defining the moral character of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was a serious culture clash,\" Ogle says. \"And it did fuel a really strong prohibition movement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Germans who came over set up beer halls in towns with large German enclaves, like St. Louis, Cincinnati and Milwaukee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Americans thought of it as disreputable — only low-class people drank,\" Ogle says. \"If you went into a tavern, you were going into the seventh circle of hell.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the 1840s and '50s, when America was still debating the great question of slavery, and whether to legalize it outside the South. Ogle says many working-class whites in the North who organized against the expansion of slavery did so, in part, out of fear that they'd be competing for low-skill jobs. These working-class whites were anti-immigrant for the same reasons, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were pitched battles in the streets where people were saying, 'You don't belong here. Go home. We don't want any more immigrants, ' \" Ogle says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican Party was born in Wisconsin in this climate, she says, to combat the expansion of slavery into the western territories, but also as a way for German immigrants to stand up for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In Milwaukee [the Republican Party] was made up of German immigrants who were determined to protect immigrant rights and who wanted to end slavery,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Busch, he became an American citizen and was extremely proud of it, Ogle says. He died before the start of World War I — when anti-German sentiment became rampant in the U.S. His wife, Lilly Anheuser Busch, suffered a terrible indignity. Suspected of being a German spy, she was forced to undergo a full-body exam — body cavities included — by order of the attorney general on her way back from visiting relatives in Germany. And his family was denounced in newspapers as un-American, their loyalties to the nation openly questioned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One other thing to note: Many of those German immigrants of the mid-19th century were essentially refugees. They were fleeing constant warfare in Europe and came to America in search of stability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So while Budweiser's ad represents a glowing representation of the American Dream, the truth is more complicated and, in fact, reflects a history of immigration that reverberates today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Right now a little history is valuable for just about everything,\" Ogle says.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nCopyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/lolakirke/?hl=en\">Lola Kirke\u003c/a> isn't a household name yet. Despite roles in \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2267998/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">\u003cem>Gone Girl\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and Noah Baumbach's \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2872462/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">Mistress America,\u003c/a> \u003c/em>most know her as the younger sister of\u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3733434/\">Jemima Kirke\u003c/a>, who plays Jessa in \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1723816/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\">\u003cem>Girls\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. But a slew of movies coming out this year -- including \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3532216/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_2\">\u003cem>American Made\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, alongside \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2017/01/10/why-dont-exposes-about-the-inner-workings-of-scientology-hurt-tom-cruises-career/\">Tom Cruise\u003c/a> -- mean that Lola Kirke is probably enjoying the last gasps of relative anonymity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few weeks ago, however, Kirke got a taste of the insanity that comes with being a human in the limelight, after she Instagrammed an \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BPBJC9zhu0o/?taken-by=lolakirke&hl=en\">eight-second video of herself\u003c/a> casually dancing to Carly Simon, resplendent in nothing but flesh-colored underwear, dangly earrings and high heels, with the caption \"Red carpet ready!\" It was a video shot before the actress attended this year's \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2017/01/09/the-very-best-gifs-from-the-2017-golden-globes/\">Golden Globes\u003c/a>, and it captured the excitement and joy of the moment for a young star who is still thrilled to be invited to such events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"1qNtm5cdJMx4heH5oA5RxfiD4JU6xp7n\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's important to note that Lola Kirke has, at the time of writing, 28k followers on Instagram. The photo of her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BPBmafzBdk8/?taken-by=lolakirke&hl=en\">actually on the red carpet\u003c/a> later that night is a pretty solid representation of what usually happens on her page -- 5,640 likes, 339 comments. By comparison, the underwear video garnered a whopping 3 million views and 1,500 comments. Her caption attached to the aforementioned red carpet pic succinctly explains why: \"Thanks to all you beautiful people who didn't send me death threats on account of my #awesome #hairyarmpits!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To read through all 1,500 comments under Lola's underwear video is to experience everything bad that happens to people on social media in one handily condensed and unedited nightmare spiral -- not to mention how gender roles influence how we humans look at each other and interact in real life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the surface, the outrage at Lola's video does seem entirely based in disgust at her unshaven armpits. In one comment thread, she is called \"ugly,\" \"nasty,\" and \"bitch\" so many times that counting each instance becomes a Herculean task. Kirke is also repeatedly referred to as \"slutty,\" \"gross,\" \"hoe,\" \"disgusting,\" and \"unhygienic.\" The emoji with the closed eyes and the surgical face shield is used hundreds of times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interrupting this endless tirade of insults are supporters, desperate to remind Lola that she is \"beautiful\" and \"awesome,\" but the hate just keeps coming at a rate that demonstrates that this isn't just about one moderately famous woman's underarms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The men leaving insults on the thread mostly make it about them. @triggeredredmemes says: \"I don’t want a bitch that won’t shave in bed with me.\" @anthony_ramirez.24 says: \"I wish I didn’t see this.\" @just_finding_nemo says: \"I don’t understand why some women don’t shave their armpits.\" @xx_.king._xx says: \"it’s different on a dude but you bring a female in the picture that look decent then got hairy ass armpits that sh-t ain’t adding up. plus idk a dude that like that on there girl.\" And @tiamobieber seems to feel threatened by having a woman embrace something that he believes is a male privilege: \"Disgusting! YOU ARE A WOMEN NOT A MAN.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there are the men who think this must be a publicity stunt, for no right-thinking woman would ever willingly leave hair on her body without real (financial?) motivation to do so. @Mohragabfans says: \"Clearly she doesn’t have a career. Nobody is paying her any mind. So, she figured. Growing my disgusting armpit hair will get my whack ass self on some headlines (which happened) but don’t forget, she did that all to grab the medias attention. It’s sad to be this desperate and thirsty.\" @Joshsa7 agrees: \"I love her but she is so badly trying to prove a point by not shaving its unbecoming.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, the women expressing outrage make it about their own idea of feminine roles, which, in turn, often reveal some serious, internalized misogyny. Some have strange notions about the dangers of armpit hair for women like @lizre, who states: \"If you people don’t like to shower, shave, brush your teeth etc. Fine but the truth is that it is disgusting without hygiene people can get sick.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's anti-underwear police like @solas_one, who says: \"Someone tell her that we have kids in instagram.. we don’t need to poison there minds with this kind of sh-t…someone tell her to send this video to her husband and not to a bunch of perverts…\" and michelle_cookie101, who says: \"I’m reporting you bitch for nudity and porn… Shave your pits dude.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overriding message, if you subject yourself to the entire thread of comments, is twofold: 1. Lola Kirke must be brought down a peg or two, and 2. Women's bodies are public property to be dissected and commented on at will. Much of the thread issues outright demands to shave, as if Lola's body is a public monument to be designed by and voted on in a virtual town hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount of attention focused on Lola Kirke for this one, silly, short clip also demonstrates how much our culture has been focused, for so many decades, on making women feel terrible about themselves at every opportunity. Not only do many of the Instagram commenters make that their goal, but a major reason this post generated an abnormal amount of traffic is because, in those eight brief seconds, it was clear that Lola Kirke was feeling good -- about her body, about herself, about her life. And the sight of that turned out to be so jarring, on such a deep level for a great many observers that they felt the need to remind Lola -- and all of us -- that there is a real price to pay if you allow the world to know you are a confident woman. If you happen to be such a woman with the nerve to not observe every single one of the extremely narrow rules around American beauty ideals, things will be even worse for you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, \u003ca href=\"http://www.lennyletter.com/culture/interviews/a684/growing-into-yourself/\">Lena Dunham interviewed Camila Cabello\u003c/a> about how the 19-year-old has coped with stardom in the pop group Fifth Harmony. Wise beyond her years, Cabello said: \"The best decision that I've taken in my career thus far has been this year; I've just stayed away from social media. I don't go on it... Even though I know that there's way more support than there is hate, I don't have that in my head.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a sad state of affairs when young, famous women must close themselves off from social media -- something most of their non-famous peers use daily -- in order to avoid having around-the-clock hate directed at them. Here's hoping Lola Kirke can provide a positive example of how to rise above and beyond it, while we wait for online culture to catch up.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The photo of her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BPBmafzBdk8/?taken-by=lolakirke&hl=en\">actually on the red carpet\u003c/a> later that night is a pretty solid representation of what usually happens on her page -- 5,640 likes, 339 comments. By comparison, the underwear video garnered a whopping 3 million views and 1,500 comments. Her caption attached to the aforementioned red carpet pic succinctly explains why: \"Thanks to all you beautiful people who didn't send me death threats on account of my #awesome #hairyarmpits!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To read through all 1,500 comments under Lola's underwear video is to experience everything bad that happens to people on social media in one handily condensed and unedited nightmare spiral -- not to mention how gender roles influence how we humans look at each other and interact in real life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the surface, the outrage at Lola's video does seem entirely based in disgust at her unshaven armpits. In one comment thread, she is called \"ugly,\" \"nasty,\" and \"bitch\" so many times that counting each instance becomes a Herculean task. Kirke is also repeatedly referred to as \"slutty,\" \"gross,\" \"hoe,\" \"disgusting,\" and \"unhygienic.\" The emoji with the closed eyes and the surgical face shield is used hundreds of times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interrupting this endless tirade of insults are supporters, desperate to remind Lola that she is \"beautiful\" and \"awesome,\" but the hate just keeps coming at a rate that demonstrates that this isn't just about one moderately famous woman's underarms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The men leaving insults on the thread mostly make it about them. @triggeredredmemes says: \"I don’t want a bitch that won’t shave in bed with me.\" @anthony_ramirez.24 says: \"I wish I didn’t see this.\" @just_finding_nemo says: \"I don’t understand why some women don’t shave their armpits.\" @xx_.king._xx says: \"it’s different on a dude but you bring a female in the picture that look decent then got hairy ass armpits that sh-t ain’t adding up. plus idk a dude that like that on there girl.\" And @tiamobieber seems to feel threatened by having a woman embrace something that he believes is a male privilege: \"Disgusting! YOU ARE A WOMEN NOT A MAN.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there are the men who think this must be a publicity stunt, for no right-thinking woman would ever willingly leave hair on her body without real (financial?) motivation to do so. @Mohragabfans says: \"Clearly she doesn’t have a career. Nobody is paying her any mind. So, she figured. Growing my disgusting armpit hair will get my whack ass self on some headlines (which happened) but don’t forget, she did that all to grab the medias attention. It’s sad to be this desperate and thirsty.\" @Joshsa7 agrees: \"I love her but she is so badly trying to prove a point by not shaving its unbecoming.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, the women expressing outrage make it about their own idea of feminine roles, which, in turn, often reveal some serious, internalized misogyny. Some have strange notions about the dangers of armpit hair for women like @lizre, who states: \"If you people don’t like to shower, shave, brush your teeth etc. Fine but the truth is that it is disgusting without hygiene people can get sick.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's anti-underwear police like @solas_one, who says: \"Someone tell her that we have kids in instagram.. we don’t need to poison there minds with this kind of sh-t…someone tell her to send this video to her husband and not to a bunch of perverts…\" and michelle_cookie101, who says: \"I’m reporting you bitch for nudity and porn… Shave your pits dude.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overriding message, if you subject yourself to the entire thread of comments, is twofold: 1. Lola Kirke must be brought down a peg or two, and 2. Women's bodies are public property to be dissected and commented on at will. Much of the thread issues outright demands to shave, as if Lola's body is a public monument to be designed by and voted on in a virtual town hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount of attention focused on Lola Kirke for this one, silly, short clip also demonstrates how much our culture has been focused, for so many decades, on making women feel terrible about themselves at every opportunity. Not only do many of the Instagram commenters make that their goal, but a major reason this post generated an abnormal amount of traffic is because, in those eight brief seconds, it was clear that Lola Kirke was feeling good -- about her body, about herself, about her life. And the sight of that turned out to be so jarring, on such a deep level for a great many observers that they felt the need to remind Lola -- and all of us -- that there is a real price to pay if you allow the world to know you are a confident woman. If you happen to be such a woman with the nerve to not observe every single one of the extremely narrow rules around American beauty ideals, things will be even worse for you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, \u003ca href=\"http://www.lennyletter.com/culture/interviews/a684/growing-into-yourself/\">Lena Dunham interviewed Camila Cabello\u003c/a> about how the 19-year-old has coped with stardom in the pop group Fifth Harmony. Wise beyond her years, Cabello said: \"The best decision that I've taken in my career thus far has been this year; I've just stayed away from social media. I don't go on it... Even though I know that there's way more support than there is hate, I don't have that in my head.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Mary Tyler Moore, the star of TV’s beloved \u003cem>The Mary Tyler Moore Show\u003c/em> whose comic realism helped revolutionize the depiction of women on the small screen, has died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore died Wednesday with her husband and friends nearby, her publicist, Mara Buxbaum, said. She was 80.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore gained fame in the 1960s as the frazzled wife Laura Petrie on \u003cem>The Dick Van Dyke Show\u003c/em>. In the 1970s, she created one of TV’s first career-woman sitcom heroines in \u003cem>The Mary Tyler Moore Show\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She won seven Emmy awards over the years and was nominated for an Oscar for her 1980 portrayal of an affluent mother whose son is accidentally killed in \u003cem>Ordinary People\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had battled diabetes for many years. In 2011, she underwent surgery to remove a benign tumor on the lining of her brain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore’s first major TV role was on the classic sitcom “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” in which she played the young homemaker wife of Van Dyke’s character, comedy writer Rob Petrie, from 1961-66.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With her unerring gift for comedy, Moore seemed perfectly fashioned to the smarter wit of the new, post-Eisenhower age.

The verdict: Russian Groper is hot and gets what it's like to be a spoiled royal, but is he too foreign? As for Cousin George, he's the worst, but an incestuous English marriage would be super popular with the people. Decisions, decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You know who else is English? Lord M! He and Victoria stop just short of winking at each other and licking their lips. (Fun fact: in real life, Lord M was 40 YEARS OLDER than Victoria, and they didn't like each other in that way. But reality makes for dull television, so here we are.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elsewhere in the palace, Victoria's mom complains to her brother about how poor she feels and asks for money.

You go, girl!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The moment she unveils the monument, protestors erupt in shouts and Victoria is whisked away to safety. Leopold pops up out of nowhere to remind Lord M that he's old and should stop flirting with his niece.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that night, Victoria plays with Lord M's telescope (this is not a dirty euphemism), while, across town, Lord M holds important papers and stares off into the distance.

His wife cheers him up: \"Remember, even healthy women can die in childbirth!\" Wow. I feel really bad for \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederica_of_Mecklenburg-Strelitz\">the real-life woman\u003c/a> this character is based on.

They both put up praise hands and say, \u003cem>Amen! \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mrs. Jenkins falls down for no reason and asks to be excused. Victoria is like, \u003cem>What's her damage? \u003c/em>Babyface Maid spills all the details about Mrs. Jenkins' nephew and how most non-royals think the punishment for protesting should be a bit more lenient than being sliced up and gutted. Victoria is like, \u003cem>Hmmmmm, maybe!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Victoria finds Lord M and says she wants to sign a petition on whitehouse.gov or something to save the protestors' lives.

You can just commute their sentences and set them up with new lives in Australia.\u003c/em> She's like, \u003cem>Cool, we'll do that, then!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a roll, Victoria runs off to take care of another bit of business. She informs Sir John and her mom that she will grant Sir John's request for money and a title in exchange for disappearing forever and ever. Shocked, Victoria's mom turns to Sir John to find out if he's really willing to drop her for a few coins.

She tells Lord M she's decided to take a page from the former Queen's playbook and be single forever, while getting some on the side (*wink*).

This Albert better be hot, geez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some time later, Victoria is playing a dramatic song on the piano, while everyone sits around her, pretending not to be bored.

They walk in and everyone stands, but Victoria is too focused on her music to notice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Albert (rudely, in my opinion) walks up and distracts her mid-concerto. He says her name.
