‘Your resounding, clarion call rings out to your audience. My staff and
I listen to you all the time.'--U.S. Congresswoman Diane Watson
to Firpo Carr regarding his Clear Channel radio show. Firpo Carr is a best-selling author who resides in the Los Angeles area, and who hails
originally from Watts via South Los Angeles. Over a decade and a half ago Harvard University requested one of Firpo's
books for its library system. Realizing the value of his unique writings, Harvard now carries two of his published
works. As noted below, other prestigious colleges and universities from around the world would use his writings
as textbooks. His works have been produced in 54 languages (as translated by dedicated native-speaking translation
teams around the world) and have reached well over twice as many lands (165 and counting), and his weekly articles
are translated into 36 languages, making his writings available to millions. He
is an internationally known author, historian, scholar, Bible translator, lecturer, former radio show producer,
former radio show host, university instructor, documentary producer/screenwriter/director, and newspaper columnist.
He has appeared as an eminent scholar on such nationally televised documentaries as Encounters with the
Unexplained: Secrets of the Bible--What Do the Dead Sea Scrolls Tell Us?, and the prime time specials Ancient
Secrets of the Bible I, and Ancient Secrets of the Bible II. He
has been featured with other distinguished scholars on CBS's Today Religion and KTLA's Pacesetters.
During the debate on the release of the unpublished Dead Sea Scrolls, KCAL9's Pat Harvey and Steve Jackson interviewed
Firpo on his ground-breaking new book, The Divine Name Controversy (Vol. 1). He
experienced the Watts Revolt of 1965, the Los Angeles Uprising of 1992, and the ever-present threat of gang violence in the
Nickerson Gardens housing projects, L.A.'s largest. While with IBM for ten years Firpo made extraordinary technical contributions
and spent countless hours visiting inner city elementary, junior high, and high schools in association with the company's
community service programs. His technical accomplishments moved IBM, uncharacteristically, to release a news story--in connection
with his works--to the major newswire services. His works have been acknowledged by Jewish
scholars at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and in an encyclopedia entry on the Holocaust; Muslim scholars and
authorities who invited him to speak at a prominent Muslim center in the Gulf area during the second Gulf war; and scholars
in Christendom who feature his work on various Internet Web sites.

New York's Cornell University, Southwestern Christian College in Terrell, Texas, and Kenyon
College, "the oldest private institution of higher education in Ohio...founded in 1824," are among a growing number
of colleges and universities that use his best-selling book, Germany's Black Holocaust:1890-1945 (GBH), as a textbook.
Poet James Wright is one of several famous graduates of prestigious Kenyon College. The
Museum of Jewish Heritage--A Living Memorial to the Holocaust produced a publication entitled Meeting Hate With Humanity:
Life During the Holocaust (Teacher's Guide) wherein GBH is listed as an important reference work. The front
cover of the Jewish publication states: "This Teacher's Guide is made possible through the generous support of The Conference
on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany--The Rabbi Israel Miller Fund for Shoah Research, Documentation and Education."
