Ferguson up to the contemporary period, this encyclopedia traces the transition from the Reconstruction Era to the age of Jim Crow, the Harlem Renaissance, the Great Migration, the Brown ruling that overturned Plessy, the Civil Rights Movement, and the ascendant influence of African American culture on the American cultural landscape. Covering African American history in all areas of U.S. history and culture from 1896 to the present, the Encyclopedia contains approximately 1,200 fully cross-referenced entries that are all signed by leading scholars and experts, making this five-volume set the most reliable and extensive treatment to be found on African American history in the twentieth century. The set also contains 500 images and roughly 640 biographies, as well as an entry on each of the fifty states. In addition to its comprehensive coverage of African Americans, the Encyclopedia also contains entries about key figures who affected the lives of African Americans in particular and Americans in general. Unrivalled in breadth and scope, this is the preeminent source of information on this topic and is destined to become a trusted reference source for years to come.;Volume 5: -- Union Of Soviet

The Art of Memory

by Howard V. Hendrix

The Art of Memory first appeared in EOTU, June 1989. Authors Note: The rise of religion-based intolerance and forced conformity in the USA during the last quarter of the twentieth century pops up in my novels StandingWave and Better Angels, but its genesis was in this story. Someone once told me that such a theocracy could never happen in America and I was wrong to suppose it could. He lived in Berkeley. I have lived in places much less insulatedplaces where a candidate cant even hope to be elected without the imprimatur of the local big box warehouse church. Places where the establishment of a faith-based initiatives office in the White House itself is greeted with cheers rather than trepidation. Maybe the theocracy is already here, after all. Or maybe Ive just read the Constitution too often to feel at ease in todays America.

* * * *

IN THE ORCHARD gentle rain falls, wet blackness on tree trunks. Autumn. Some trees persist in their old green confusion, some have turned to fire, some to bare branched ashes. Tense expectancy fills the air. Everyone in the orchard is waiting. No one knows what to do. So everyone is waiting.

A woman picking apples looks up.

A sky out of the dark ages, she says.

Her male companion nods.

In the northern quarter of the sky from another time, dark specks like rags of cloud are moving swiftly, becoming figures, man shapes flying in low over the trees and fields. Shock troops in rocket packs and stealth combat armor. The man and woman run shouting through the aisles of trees. Take cover! Take cover!

But it is too late. The faceless stealth-armored soldiers land with gunfire and death. The apple pickers run, are gunned down, spill their baskets of bright red apples everywhere.

Hey, Captain! one of the troopers calls over his helmet battlecom as he perforates a family of four seeking refuge in nearby thickets. What kind of heretics we got here?

Brunists, Captain Will Acton responds, reducing a farm wagon and its passengers to blood and splinters, wood and bone, with a round from a smart mortar. But thats not your need to know. Theyre cultists. Good enough?

Yessir!

Actons men fan out, lobbing cluster and fragmentation grenades into groups of fleeing pickers. Concussion and implosion bombs unbuild in an instant the cabins and cottages on the hillsides above the orchards and fields. The platoons heavy munitions man fires a semi-nuke at the communes main hall. Laser-guided and smart, the projectile does not miss. The high hall erupts in a ball of fire and is gone. Acton carefully observes his platoons efficient battle dance. His wardogs in action possess a certain terrible beauty, and their choreography is particularly beautiful today. He has trained them well.

Begin mop-up operations, he commands over his battlecom. Well regroup this side of the stream, where the plank bridge crosses it.

His men break up into two-man patrol units, flying low over the trees and brush. Sporadic gunfire is heardall from his men. No fire returns from the ground below.

* * * *

Acton flies above the field where lie corpses clad in bloody jeans and flannels and bullet-holed homespun. He comes at last into the broad meadow, where he will establish his command post beside the stream and its bridge. On the battlecom he hears Lieutenant Dalke, the platoons second in command and Reverend Morals Officer, blessing the carnage.

Thank you, Lord! Praise be your glorious name! Thank you, Jesus! Thank you, Jesus!

Surveying the broken bodies scattered among the trees, Acton sees that a few of the heretics are not deadonly fatally wounded and crying out in pain. But he hears none of their agonies. The sensors in his smart armor automatically filter out all information not relevant to battle.

Bloody mess, eh Rev? Acton tightbeams to Dalke when the Reverend Lieutenant lands beside him.

And glorious, sir! Dalke says, out of breath. Even in his battle armor, Dalke is clearly overweight. I estimate the number of apostate dead at two hundred and fifty.

Glorious? Acton shrugs. Im not so sure about that. Not much fight to these Brunists. Theyre duller than last weeks Quakers.

But even greater heretics, Reverend Lieutenant Dalke reminds him fervently.

Followers of the pernicious doctrines of the heresiarch, Giordano Bruno.

Acton watches the command tent deploying itself automatically. Cant say I know much about the man.

The Catholics burned him at the stake over four hundred years ago. Dalke breaks down his armors built-in flamethrower, scratches carbon residue from it.

He denied the divinity of Jesus, declared that the Bible was mythical in nature, said that all its books could be boiled down to do unto others as you would have them do unto youand the rest could be thrown away.

Acton turns and strides toward the stream. Still, he says over his shoulder,

Id feel better if thered been more fight to them. Taking them out was easier than shooting doves in the high desert. Used to do a lot of that when I was a boy.

Lieutenant Dalke looks up from the hot end of the flamethrower hes cleaning.

Respectfully, Sir, I must remind you that how much or how little fight they put up is not important. The Lieutenants voice betrays only the slightest hint of irritation.

Whats important are the crimes of these cultists against our holy state. Brunos occult Art of Memory is obviously still contaminating minds. Whats worse, its gotten thoroughly mixed together with a lot of other heretical claptrap: Earth Mother Goddess worship, witchcraft, magic, pantheism, druidismall that cultishness.

Dalke, flamethrower cleaning finished, punctuates his comments with quick short blasts of fire. Heaven knows these people deserve death. I have it on good authority that many of them were drug users or homosexuals or both.

Acton stares at the chocolate-grey confusion of the turbulent stream. Well, Lieutenant, youd know more about that than I would.

Beneath Actons reflection in the shallows, a crayfish is wriggling its pale self loose from an exoskeleton it has outgrown. Acton watches, fascinated that the creature should have chosen to molt now, when the stream is so turgid. Finished at last, the crustacean scurries away again into the chaos of the rain-swollen flood. Rising from his squatting position on the streambank, Acton sees that Dalke has gone. The rain, now ending, is snow in the mountains.

He remembers living in those mountains, remembers the forests being stripped for firewood as more and more people moved in all the time. Be fruitful andmultiply. He remembers the landslides, the rockslides, the erosion that came with every rain, the silt-choked streams. And God gave Man dominion over the Earth. Heresy, these thoughts. Never to be voiced. Hes got to fly low and under radar, or one day hell wake up and find designer chemicals or gay porn planted in his bunkall the good authority needed to end debate and find for guilt. Spotty sunlight splashes gold on the peaks above the clouds. The rain has ended. Shafts of late afternoon light slant down out of the clouds. Angel slides, his mother called them when he was a boy. The only angels sliding down them today are his soldiers.

He remembers briefings by his own good authorities, who reported ... many things. Of the three spies sent to infiltrate the Brunists, each reported only for the first month or soand then went mysteriously native. Yet even in their fragmentary reports there abounded tantalizing suggestions of a hidden power in this remote place, a remnant left over from the Old Governments secret projects. What that power might be the spies unfortunately never got around to saying, but speculation at Service Command ranged from a perfect brainwashing chemical to (on the wild fringes) the suggestion that the Brunists might have among them a Starburstthe name persistent rumor gives to the mythical shield-telepaths of the equally apocryphal Project Medusa Blue.
