Le 18 juin 1940 : naissance de Charles de Gaulle. Naissance à Londres derrière un micro avec des mots qui promettent à la France, vaincue par les chars et les avions, la victoire par les chars et les avions. Mais la France n'est pas à l'écoute.

La France ne parle le 18 juin que d'un seul appel, d'un seul discours, celui que le maréchal Pétain a lancé le 17 juin pour dire qu'il fallait cesser le combat et demander l'armistice. Et la France est d'accord.

Provocative and controversial, Rhoden's Forty Million Dollar Slaves weaves a compelling narrative of Black athletes in the United States.

This explores the historical significance of the "Forty Acres and a Mule" promise made to formerly enslaved African Americans at the end of the Civil War. It details how Union General William T. Sherman's Special Field Order No. 15 in January 1865 set aside 400,000 acres of confiscated Confederate land along the Atlantic coast for distribution to freed families.
