Books Going to Meet the Man, James Baldwin. I found these stories powerful and each one is different even as always centering on, “the problem.”
The Road to Guilford Courthouse, Buchanon. History. Most of what we remember about the revolutionary war took place North of Virginia, Yorktown being the exception. This book walks you through the war in the Carolinas (remember The Patriot? ). There is a lot of interesting history here. (Remember the Swamp Fox on Disney?).

Streaming shows:
Monsieur Spade. Acorn—Sam Spade of Bogart fame moves to France after the war and falls in love. He is confronted with a case while in retirement.
Clickbait—Netflix—a roller coaster with characters who are mostly not easy; for me it has been engrossing with an unexpected ending.
Music:

Caramel. Suzane Vega
Pelican Bay. Jenny Lewis
