You going to be on Mars in a decade? No. Where will you be then? How about your kids or grandkids? You think they'll be on Jupiter in 30 years? No. We will all be here, they will all be here. If anything, time is an upside, not a downside. Read one of these books to your kids through a mic. The audio will last longer than all of us will. How's that for passing on a generational gift?
For your consideration.
Hww do you do a ebook or audio book?

Maybe not...
Ping to my friends..............
Welcome to ObamaNet just one of the Freedoms(that goes for everyone) Obama wants you to give up
Step 1: Find a pre-1923 text you like.
Step 2: Download Audacity, its free open source software. http://www.audacityteam.org/
Step 3: Microphone and talking.
Step 4: Export mp3 files and upload.
I record and upload my audiobooks through LibriVox because they already have infrastructure(such as a mobile app) and a large listener base. I don’t see much need to re-invent the wheel.
https://librivox.org/pages/volunteer-for-librivox/
They have great how-to’s that describe how to use Audacity to improve the quality of your audio recording in just a few clicks.

There are other ways to upload a work, which I would be glad to show how.
Librivox is a great resource. I never knew that ‘audiobooks’ were really for me, until I downloaded a few Librivox recordings on religious and philosophical topics.
I tried Audible, but they don’t seem to allow transferring to MP3, which is my preferred way of listening while I travel around doing things. And Librivox is free.
Unfortunately the Founding Fathers were what is now considered racists.
Few if any of those black slaves who fought in the American Revolution were ever set free, and given equal rights alongside white men.
OTOH the British in Canada gave freedom to every one of the slaves who fought as Loyalists.
So the black Loyalists in Canada had their freedom by 1784 while the descendants of those still in the states had to wait until 1865.
Icann now controls the Internet. The USA controlled the Internet from its beginning in the early 1990’s to yesterday.
The UN( The evil cabal of authoritarian dictators and Islamics) controls Icann which controls the Internet now thanks to evil Obama giving it away to them.
anyone who thinks these villains, won't try to censor the Internet is insane.
Just one way they could do it is to put pressure on search engines like Google to put websites that they don't approve on black lists(remove them from search results so people can't find these websites).
when will this start? who knows but as the years go on you will see less and less websites that don't espouse what these villains believe, nothing about freedom, nothing good, nothing critical of Islam , nothing pro USA or conservatism etc.
Very interesting idea that I will share with my tech wife who is wound up on this internet transfer
Re black patriots I’ had thought this a good point for Trump to echo.
That the first blacks arrived in America in 1617 and the last slave ship 1859, many blacks have been Americans longer than us European descendants.
Like the divide of liberals and conservatives so is there a divide amongst black America along the same line.
When I see how well blacks perform as athelites, play music, make me laugh as comedians, go to church, how well conservative blacks can fight I hope their movement towards conservative values grows.
Thanks for your research and outreach
Anyone else notice FR loading slower this morning?

I applaud the spirit of your post, but....
One INTENTIONAL errant keystroke in the database we just handed over and nobody will be able to get to your or my/our new audio books.
Say you spread the word again. The errant keystroke could periodically change.
Imagine some single entity controlled online phone registries. And, your name was known for being politically active and people wanted to contact you. But, this entity in control chose to, delay inclusion of your name and number; misspell your name; perpetually change your name in the database. One week your Pete J Smith...next week your list as Robert S. Smith.
In other words, what good is an audio book nobody can find on the Internet.

Doesn’t that run into copyright laws? There aren’t any Richard Marcinko audiobooks, and that’s probably by his decision.
To be honest, sounds to me like a great way to have multiple lawsuits thrown at you.
Not quite true.
At the time of the American Revolution half of all blacks in the colonies were freemen. Most of those blacks who fought in the Revolution were not slaves, they were free.
Also, keep in mind that half of all black slaves were owned by black slave owners.
The very first slave owner in the colonies was black. He was also reputed to be the most vicious slaver in the south.
There were more white slaves in the north than black slaves. Altogether there were nearly as many white slaves as black.
Black slaves in the colonies represented about 10% of the total number of black slaves in the Caribbean and South America. That is, slavery in Mexico, Brazil and the Caribbean accounted for 90% of all slaves in the Americas.
Let’s say an audio book on one of the domain you listed goes viral...
With access to this database they can very quickly re-associate those domain names you listed with porn sites...particularly vile porn sites.
All the keepers of the database we handed over have to do is sit back and watch the traffic, if that traffic is headed toward a politically incorrect audio book, video, article...they can just redirect the traffic.
Thanks. Never heard of Librivox.
Sounds like a great resource. The audio CDs that libraries offer are cumbersome and not as convenient as you might think.
Car radio shows can be entertaining, but you are stuck with a ton of advertisements.
This Librivox sounds like the perfect alternative.
These are some interesting things you say. What is your main source of knowledge on slavery?
Thanks.
