Few Americans understand the important role of African-American soldiers in ending slavery and helping to win the Civil War. While the Emancipation Proclamation is generally believed to have ended slavery, it freed no slaves on January 1st, 1863. It did however set into motion considerations that would eventually end both slavery and the U.S. Civil War.  The Emancipation Proclamation allowed 200,000 African-American soldiers to serve in the Union Army and help to free 4,000,000 enslaved African-American people in the United States out of a total of 4.5 million African-Americans living in the United States at that time.

YouTube: Micro Musketeer Moment - Corbin Dooley’s 10 Survival Tactics


Today you will learn the 10 Survival Tactics that have helped Corbin Dooley, as a man, to get through the darkest moments of his life. 


Corbin is a survivor of the suicide by firearm of both his mother and his aunt, wildfires in California, the 9-11 tragedy in New York City, and the death of his high school girlfriend who was killed by a train.


Corbin had to lean on these tools to help him to overcome a lifetime of trauma he had experienced.

He has spent most of his life as a music entrepreneur. When his mother took her life, he turned to music as a producer or founder of Bikiniwax Records and as an artist. He has used different styles of music to fit the places of emotional healing he needed most at a particular moment.


Please remember always to tell someone if you or someone you love suffers from depression or suicidal thoughts.


For help at any time, you can dial the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by pressing 988 on your phone.
