  • The Daily Mess Do People Of Fame Still Worry Plus How Many Memories Are Left

    The Daily Mess Do People Of Fame Still Worry Plus How Many Memories Are Left
    Jun 19 2026
    I’m always asking questions. The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… Are people of fame stilling wondering if someone will take note of their hard work and loyalty to see things through? Plus…if our parents had Alzheimer’s and dementia, how many memories do I personally have left? I’m Arroe… I am a daily writer. A silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate. I call it The Daily Mess. A chronological walk through an everyday world. Yes, it’s my morning writing. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later. When a subject arrives, I dig in. It’s still keeping a journal! By doing the research the picture becomes clearer. This is the Daily Mess…

  • Richard Pryor A Notorious Word And Me From Elizabeth Stordeur Pryor

    Richard Pryor A Notorious Word And Me From Elizabeth Stordeur Pryor
    Jun 19 2026
    Part memoir by the daughter of the iconic comedian Richard Pryor, part exploration of the historical and contemporary use of the N-word, this hybrid book peels back the curtain on the life of Pryor and exposes the complex history and legacy of the most perplexing word in the American lexicon, a word he helped popularize.When a white student quoted a line from Blazing Saddles, blurting out the N-word in the middle of class, Professor Elizabeth Pryor froze. In that moment, she was shockingly confronted with not only the most notorious slur in the United States, but the line quoted by the student was one her father - the iconic comedian Richard Pryor - had written.The N-word is one of the most perplexing, controversial and misunderstood words in the American lexicon. After the incident in her classroom, Professor Pryor dove into her research to better understand the history of the word, and processed it with her students, eventually emerging as a leading scholar on the n-word as witnessed in her popular Ted Talk, "Why it's so hard to talk about the N-word."The more she learned, the more Elizabeth's own memories of the N-word rose to the surface. Growing up the Black and Jewish biracial daughter of a groundbreaking Black comedian - navigating the world her Jewish mother showed her and the Hollywood her father shared - meant the word was part of the most painful, but also tender moments of her life. Her reckoning with this word meant a reckoning with memories of her father, who skyrocketed to fame in the 1970's, making the n-word a hallmark of his act.SOMETHING WE SAID: Richard Pryor, a Notorious Word and Me is a hybrid: part memoir of the daughter of a legendary comedian, part exploration of the historical and contemporary use of the n-word, seamlessly braided together. Elizabeth not only peels back the curtain on life with Richard Pryor, a comedian Jerry Seinfeld has called the "Picasso of our profession," but also our country's legacy of racism and Black resilience.

    As America’s institution, the Smithsonian is honored to help lead the commemoration of the nation’s 250th anniversary.

Chism, Under Secretary for Education at the Smithsonian Institution. Responsible for establishing the Institution’s educational priorities, Chism oversees the Smithsonian’s collective initiatives, communication strategies and funding for programs with the goal of bringing the Smithsonian into every classroom in America. Before joining the Smithsonian in 2021, she served as vice president for education policy and strategic initiatives at the American Institutes for Research in Washington, D.C.As Independence Day approaches, this interview offers a timely opportunity to explore how history, education, and shared ideals connect Americans across generations and how the Smithsonian is helping bring those stories to life nationwide. It also comes as the Institution prepares for its upcoming National Education Summit, a free, three-day event convening in July focused on new approaches to civics teaching and engaging the next generation around the nation’s founding ideals.
