NPR's Book of the Day - ‘A Kwanzaa Keepsake and Cookbook’ is an updated exploration of Kwanzaa’s traditions

A Kwanzaa Keepsake and Cookbook was first published in 1995, a few decades after the seven-day festival was created in 1966. Written by culinary historian and author Jessica B. Harris, the book explores the holiday's history, traditions, rituals, and food–and in 2024, Harris released an updated version of her original guide. In today's episode, she joins Here & Now's Scott Tong for a conversation about the meaning of the seven symbols and principles of Kwanzaa. They also discuss the way the cookbook's recipes reflect Harris' daily cooking style, the origins of techniques like deep frying, and the centrality of improvisation to African American culture.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Black Death (Encore)

During the 14th century, the world saw one of its most traumatic episodes. 

A plague spread through Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa that was unlike anything the world had ever seen. 

In some locations, over half of the population died. Those who survived found themselves in a whole new world where the social and economic rules had been totally changed. 

Learn more about the Black Death, how it happened, and how it changed the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Up First from NPR - Does the Military Have an Extremism Problem?

As Congress meets tomorrow to certify the results of the 2024 election, it also marks the 4-year anniversary of the attack on the Capitol. The participants of the riot on January 6, 2021 intended to disrupt the certification process of the 2020 election results. When it was all over four people were dead, 140 law enforcement officers were wounded and there was nearly $3 million in damage.

There were people from all walks of life at the Capitol that day, but one thing that many of them had in common? Military ties. That reality is something that the military is still grappling with today. On this episode of The Sunday Story from Up First, we are joined by NPR Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman and producer Lauren Hodges, who were both at the Capitol reporting that day. Last year they released a new investigation with NPR's Embedded podcast called "A Good Guy," about an active duty Marine who participated in the Capitol riot.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Federal Bureau of Investigation

In 1908, the United States did something unprecedented in its history: It created a general-purpose investigative police branch for the Department of Justice. 

The federal government had enforcement organizations before, but they had very narrow missions. 

From its humble beginnings, the FBI radically changed over the next several decades and became one of the most powerful federal agencies.

Learn more about the Federal Bureau of Investigation, how it was established, and how it has evolved on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
