Some ministers are equally cautious, remembering too well characters like the Reverend Ike, a notorious 1970s televangelist who espoused his unique brand of prosperity theology from a mink-lined Rolls-Royce.

...this, his one "race" film, Robeson plays both the venal "Reverend" Isaiah T.

These elements do just enough to reinforce the cohesion between the albums, allowing them to feel distinct, yet at the same time part of the larger trilogy...
...quote from a poem by Macchiavelli, and it means “recognize opportunity”: in other words, the familiar saying “Seize the Day.” There is no motto on the earlier arms of the Lowell family; most likely, Reverend John Lowell of Newburyport, the first one of the Lowell family to use arms in the United States, added the motto as a part of the family seal...
