will slavery have been worth surviving for black people when America is finally free, just, with equality for all, or would Africans have emigrated to the u s anyway ?

'By 2017 the gap had narrowed further, to three and a half years: 75.3 for African-Americans, 78.8 for whites. But Hispanic Americans outlive them both, to an average of 81.8 years. '

- the economist, may 20th, 2021

'For those born in 2021, the average life expectancy at birth across Africa was 63 years for males and 66 years for females. The average life expectancy globally was 71 years for males and 75 years for females in mid-2021.'

cluett estate blog post

i didn't know i just accidently happened on that post !

was just trying to think of something i remembered earlier today i was going to mention but forgot then i thought it would be neat to put a t-shirt on a canvas stretcher which reminded me - writing teachers tell us to write about what we know so i decided to look into my hometown to see what happened to me and what i found out was astounding as might your hometowns be as well, tho little did i know

i just found out last year the cluetts owned an estate near our house a long time ago and invented the process for pre shrinking cotton shirts so they don't shrink when you wash them

the cluetts created the arrow shirt company

they lived next to the proctors who owned proctor and gamble and the proctor who lived in our town created the name 'ivory soap'

- 280 stone hill road

the foundation of the proctor's mansion is still visible somewhere up upon stone hill road tho i never had a clue it was there all the times i used to hike home along it after the football games at the highschool, which was near sinclair lewis's estate, thorvale, at the north-west corner of the highschool where i once heard there was a cave near the cross country trail when i did cross country in junior high - and there was - only the cave runs all along the land of the highschool to the field farm, i just found out ! or when i was little and our mom (who was a field) used take me hiking up to the old stone bench, that might have been dedicated to a german ww1 spy who used to sit there when it was bare meadow and watch the old airport where the school is now !

we had to wear ties to school on the day of or before football games and i just  remembered my favorite tie shirt was a red and white thin striped arrow shirt with the collar you could button down !

the milne family created a private grade school at the cluett estate, but it has not yet been made clear whether or not the milnes were related to a a milne whose dad also created and ran a private grade school in england

the milne family's son, david might or might not be the canadian artist david brown milne

all these famous people once lived there but we had only heard bits and pieces of who they were, now it is like william shatner's historic space tweet quoting isaac newton - we have all waded into an ocean of knowledge, without knowing it was there

it almost happened here

former williamstown resident nazi robert sterling clark was part owner of the singer sewing corporation and after being involved with the nazi uprising in germany in 1933 tried to overthrow the united states of America to install a fascist dictator, allegedly because fdr was going to take the u s off the gold standard because the japanese had learned to turn mercury and later lead into gold, which is what former williamstown resident sinclair lewis based his 1935 novel 'it can't happen here' on

- sinclair lewis in williamstown

'It’s the story of the 'Plot Against America'. I don’t mean the Philip Roth novel, nor even the Sinclair Lewis book, 'It Can’t Happen Here', but rather the historical events upon which these two works of fiction were based...

...In November 1934, federal investigators uncovered an amazing plot involving some two dozen senior businessmen, a good many of them Wall Street financiers, to topple the government of the United States and install a fascist dictatorship. Roth’s novel is developed from several strands of this factual account; he assumed the plot is actually carried out, whereas in fact an alert FDR shut it down but stopped short of retaliatory measures against the plotters.'

'And who paid for it all? The two Clark brothers did directly, but indirectly it was ordinary Americans buying sewing machines, for these two, Robert Sterling Clark (who went by his middle name) and his younger brother Stephen Carlton Clark, were heirs to the Singer Co. fortune initially earned by their patent-lawyer grandfather, Edward, who was half-owner of I.M. Singer & Co.'

'The Art Collector Who Wanted to Stage a Fascist Coup Against FDR'

'Sterling—as everyone called him—had approximately thirty million dollars at the time, in addition to a valuable art collection, sumptuous houses in America and France, and vast holdings of silver, rare books, vintage Burgundies, and other collectables. He was a bon vivant who took great pleasure in acquiring things and in living well; he was also a man given to intense and consuming rages. A lot of his fury was directed toward his three brothers, with whom he had had a violent dispute concerning family trusts; Sterling was enraged that he could not secure more of the family’s fortune for his wife and her daughter.'

- the history news network

'During WWII, Singer’s U.S. factories made bomb sights, M1911 handguns and M-1 self-loading rifles. Singer’s Germany factory made machine guns for the Nazis. After chasing the German army back across Europe, the Soviets captured Singer’s Nazi weapons factory and confiscated it. Charles Kindleberger, the U.S. State Department official in charge of German Economic Affairs (1945-48) said the U.S. did “not think that was an appropriate war trophy.” He worked for the Office of Strategic Services (the CIA’s precursor) and Army Intelligence (1942-45).'

'Singer fared well in Germany, where it was among the top 25 U.S. investors, in the late 1920s. In 1930, the agent in Saudi Arabia for Singer, Standard Oil NY and Ford Motor, was British fascist, Harry St. John Philby (whose son, Kim, became an infamous Soviet spy). Harry, who supplied weapons and money for Arabia’s fight against Ottoman rule in WWI, was the go-between for King Ibn Saud and U.S. oil companies.'

'Clark also bankrolled MacGuire’s seven-month trip abroad in December of 1933, in which the bond salesman was to survey the transforming political tides of Europe. He observed the ascending Nazis. He appreciated the Italian Fascists and their symbiotic relationship with the country’s powerful business interests. But MacGuire’s ultimate model ended up being a right-wing nationalist league in France called the Croix-de-Feu, which had managed to summon 150,000 supporters, many of whom were veterans.'
