In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

I will post about it soon!) and I’m loving it so much. It just reminds me there’s plenty of good horror out there for readers of all ages. That’s right. Horror isn’t just for us old folks. So with that in mind, I thought this week we could highlight some middle grade horror books. And I’ve got a few new releases for you as well, of course. You know the drill, horror fans.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

Today’s book recommendation is a backlist pick from 2017 about the Combahee River Collective, a phenomenal group of radical Black feminists and one of the most important organizations to develop from the antiracist and women’s liberation movements of the 1960s and ’70s. They are perhaps the most well-known for the Combahee River Collective Statement, which was a stark contrast to the popular feminist movement of the time (which was racist) and the popular Civil Rights movement of the time (which was riddled with sexism and homophobia).
