Chief Superintendent Western Region R.C.M.P, John Ferguson's Speech, Afghanistan War Monument Unveiling Ceremony
The Afghanistan War Monument Unveiling & Dedication Ceremony took place on Saturday October 7th, 2017, just 17 short months after the Army Navy Air Force Veterans in Canada Unit #389 donated the land to the project.
With the miniature St Louis Peace Arch at the entry, and the 4 memorials to the fallen that are connected to Grande Prairie, the big black and grey marble monument pays homage to the 158 Canadian Forces soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending the ideals we hold dear.
Master Corporal Raymond Arndt, Cpl Zach McCormack, Joshua Baker and Master Corporal Timothy Wilson are connected to Grande Prairie, the first three because they were members of the Loyal Edmonton Regiment. D Coy Armouries on Army Training Base 132 Grande Prairie was their regimental home during World War II. And of course, Timothy Wilson was born in Grande Prairie.

Thirty Years a Slave by Louis Hughes | Full Audiobook with subtitles
Louis Hughes was born a slave near Charlottesville, Virginia to a white father and a black slave woman. Throughout his life he worked mostly as a house servant, but was privy to the intimate details and workings of the entire McGee cotton plantation and empire. In Thirty Years A Slave Hughes provides vivid descriptions and explicit accounts of how the McGee plantation in Mississippi, and the McGee mansion in Tennessee functioned--accounts of the lives of the many slaves that lived, suffered and sometimes died under the cruel and unusual punishments meted out by Boss and his monstrously unstable and vindictive wife. He described the profane manner in which this peculiar institution dehumanized, on a daily basis, not only the black man but even more so the white man. Ultimately, Thirty Years A Slave is an expression of Hughes’s desire to accurately describe the nature of the influence that the institution of slavery had on this country during the two hundred years in which it existed here, and the influence it continues to have on the heart and soul of a post-Civil War, post-14th Amendment United States. (Introduction by James K. White)
