The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. rose to national prominence in the mid-1950s as a result of his courageous leadership in a struggle against bus segregation in Montgomery, Alabama. Influenced by his example, and often under his active guidance, a mass movement developed to oppose the pervasive system of segregation in the South. A memorable introduction to the civil rights movement, and to a nation-changing period of history that came to a tragic close in April 1968 with Dr. King's assassination in Memphis, Tennessee. Produced by Dan McCarroll.

During Nelson Mandela's long imprisonment, Winnie Mandela was regarded as the saint of Soweto, the mother of an emerging free South Africa. At this time she was running for a high post in the next South African government, but she first had to face allegations of murder and human rights abuses.

She was indeed a victim of harassment and government brutality and she did show incredible toughness and courage as a surrogate for her imprisoned husband. However, she may also have been at least an accessory to torture and murder and there were serious allegations that she is directly responsible for both.

Slim Goodbody presents DESKERCISE!

A wonderful way to keep kids mentally stimulated and physically fit!

It's important at any early age to get kids active and keep them on their toes! While schools cut back on P.E. classes, Slim Goodbody keeps things moving by presenting a series of fun and effective fitness exercises that children will enjoy doing! A total of 35 DVDs, one themed DVD for each week of a traditional school year, offers 175 interactive exercise episodes.

Each DVD contains 5 episodes designed for daily use (Monday through Friday). Each episode is about ten minutes and includes a warm-up, cool-down, and theme-based exercise segment. Kids do the routines in the space around their desks! Each episode is "sponsored by" a U.S. state that is chosen by an animated globe. Kids are introduced to the state, its capital and its flag. Next, Slim introduces characters "Woody Deskenrow" (a desk) and "Happy" (a chair) - who get the exercise portion going. Upon completion of this segment, viewers relax, while they listen to a health tip they can use to increase their overall fitness!

Deskercises was developed in cooperation with the American Association of Health Education (AAHE) a division of AAHPHERD and takes a strong cross-curricular approach, combining history, science, geography, mathematics, and language arts within the context of fitness development.

Also known as Mandela: Son of Africa, Father of a Nation, this Oscar-nominated documentary paints an indelible portrait of a complex subject. The film begins with Nelson Mandela's pastoral, if polygamous childhood--his tribal chief father had four wives--and touches on his 27-year imprisonment, historic presidency, and Nobel Peace Prize (shared with former president F.W. de Klerk). Although South Africa's most famous son does not narrate, his words are the movie's ace in the hole as he provides most of the on-screen commentary. (Though his English is excellent, his accent can be a little strong; a few subtitles would've been nice.) Filmmakers Jo Menell and Angus Gibson do an admirable job at alternating between the personal, like Mandela's divorces from Evelyn and Winnie, and the professional, like his turbulent leadership of the African National Congress. That said, the film has taken a few (deserving) knocks over the years for a lack of opposing voices and for downplaying de Klerk's role in ending apartheid. There are some heavy hitters behind this biography, including director Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs), who produced, and horn virtuoso Hugh Masekela, who composed the score (along with Cédric Gradus Samson). This Palm World Voices package includes a 26-track soundtrack CD, 48-page book, and even a National Geographic map of South Africa. -- Kathleen C. Fennessy
