    unreferenced date December 2007 The Peaceable Kingdom An American Saga 1972 is a historical novel in two parts by Religious Society of Friends Quaker author Jan de Hartog . It describes the first meeting of George Fox and Margaret Fell , the latter s conversion, and a portion of the history of Colonialism colonial Pennsylvania . Terry Linkletter of Amazon.com has said this about the novel de Hartog s novel is the best way to learn what it means to be a Quaker . By looking through the eyes of fictional characters, he takes you deep into events some true, some mythical in the lives of George Fox , Margaret Fell , William Penn , John Woolman , and other prominent members of the sect, so you can feel the spiritual ferment of Cromwell s England , the American colonies , and the young USA. You will see a gentle Quaker farmer come to grips with the evils of slaveholding and see how it came to be that these people led the way in opposing that institution. Perhaps not surprising at all is to learn how it was the Quaker women who made the faith s continuous message of justice and non violence a successful influence on an injust, violent society. The allure of the novel is in the characters metamorphosis from self serving often dislikable characters, to people who work for the good of others. The story shows the precedence of Quaker prison reform and social justice. It also illustrates plain speech and gives a fairly accurate portrayal of a Quaker Meeting.

  1. American Family: Journey of Dreams

    American Family Journey of Dreams is a Public Broadcasting Service PBS series created by Gregory Nava that follows the lives of a Latino family in Los Angeles . This was the first broadcast television drama series featuring a predominantly Latino cast. It also was the first original primetime American episodic drama to air on PBS in decades since the series I ll Fly Away TV series I ll Fly Away moved to the network. Nava initially created the series for CBS , which passed on the pilot. Public Broadcasting Service PBS picked up 12 remaining episodes for its first season. Edward James Olmos plays Jess Gonzalez, a Korean War veteran and barber with a cranky disposition as well as five adult children. He and his wife Berta Sonia Braga seek a better life for their children. Conrado is a medical school student, who, at the end of the first season, enlists in the Army. In an interview with Bill Moyers during the airing of the series, Nava was asked if he wasn t angry that Latinos were invisible during prime time television. I think we re reaching a point right now where Latinos are moving from the fringes into the mainstream of American life. And our time has come right now for us to make our contribution to this country, he said. So it doesn t make me angry I just see it as a challenge. And I think that as a population and as a community we have to rise to that challenge. ref http www.pbs.org now transcript transcript nava.html ref The second season aired in mid 2004 with a slight name change.
