The Compton Shuffle: An Introspective Look at Preventing Gang Violence and Mass Shootings in Schools

'I served as the principal at the toughest inner-city public school in Compton, California. A school where the Crips and the Bloods fought over turf, and which had suffered a devastating mass shooting with over a dozen injured and killed. Under my watch, we ended gang violence and prevented more mass shootings in school. Here's my recipe to end them nationwide.' - Edward Gilliam As a witness to the tragic events that unfolded at Columbine High School and a former school principal, Edward Gilliam brings a distinctive memoir, Compton Shuffle, that explores the recrudescence of gun violence in American schools. In this narration, Gilliam sheds light on his involvement in the fight to secure American schools and protect his students and those around him. Following the horrific events that left the American people grieving and forced to confront the complicated problem of mass shootings and gang violence, Edward leads readers through a chronicle that is both heartbreaking and inspirational. He does this with a searing remembrance of that day in 1999. Over the course of almost three decades, Gilliam recounts his experiences and observations regarding all the factors that led to the disruption of educational systems. He discusses the various aspects of racism, prejudice, inadequate education, police brutality, and family dissolution that lead to school violence.

Propaganda - Original Edition

This is the all original edition. The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. A seminal and controversial figure in the history of political thought and public relations, Edward Bernays (1891-1995) pioneered the scientific technique of shaping and manipulating public opinion, which he famously dubbed, 'engineering of consent.' During World War I, he was an integral part of the US Committee on Public Information (CPI), a powerful propaganda apparatus that was mobilized to package, advertise, and sell the war to the American people as one that would 'Make the World Safe for Democracy'. The CPI would become the blueprint in which marketing strategies for future wars would be based upon. Bernays applied the techniques he had learned in the CPI and, incorporating some of the ideas of Walter Lipmann, as well as his uncle, Sigmund Freud, became an outspoken proponent of propaganda as a tool for democratic and corporate manipulation of the population. His 1928 bombshell Propaganda lays out his eerily prescient vision for using propaganda to regiment the collective mind in a variety of areas, including government, politics, art, science, and education. To listen to this book today is to frightfully comprehend what our contemporary institutions of government and business have become in regards to organized manipulation of the masses.

For over 30 years, I’ve been honored to serve some of the best brands in the world as a consultant and strategic advisor. I’ve seen highly respected CEOs, leaders, and managers launch “quality of work life” initiatives. These leaders rightly believed that happy employees were better employees, and they sought changes that would fulfill those conditions. Regrettably, despite high expectations, these programs nearly always failed. The metrics they were designed to improve—productivity, employee engagement, and even company profitability—didn’t budge.
