| morgan freeman mike wallace black history month: Reclaiming the Black Past Pero G. Dagbovie, 2018-11-13 The past and future of Black history In this information-overloaded twenty-first century, it seems impossible to fully discern or explain how we know about the past. But two things are certain. Whether we are conscious of it or not, we all think historically on a routine basis. And our perceptions of history, including African American history, have not necessarily been shaped by professional historians. In this wide-reaching and timely book, Pero Gaglo Dagbovie argues that public knowledge and understanding of black history, including its historical icons, has been shaped by institutions and individuals outside academic ivory towers. Drawing on a range of compelling examples, Dagbovie explores how, in the twenty-first century, African American history is regarded, depicted, and juggled by diverse and contesting interpreters—from museum curators to filmmakers, entertainers, politicians, journalists, and bloggers. Underscoring the ubiquitous nature of African-American history in contemporary American thought and culture, each chapter unpacks how black history has been represented and remembered primarily during the “Age of Obama,” the so-called era of “post-racial” American society. Reclaiming the Black Past is Dagbovie's contribution to expanding how we understand African American history during the new millennium. |

In the midst of political and racial divisions in America, I heard a republican congressman speaking to the media, he said: “With open eyes, open ears, open mind and you walk away with some understanding...” while honoring our first amendment right to freedom of expression...through open minded and open hearted conversations... If you take one thing away from reading this book, I hope it’s that our numerous races, ethnicities, beliefs and values manifested through comparative historical and contextual exploration can serve as a miscible advantage or a harmonious mixture when added together ... a reconciliatory nod to our past and a meditative extrapolation, interjection and celebration of our ...United States or ‘US’. Enjoy!” Praise for Jacques Fleury’s “Chain Letter to America...” “A powerful strike on the doors of Justice. The courageous author painted his vision, and suggested understanding and consciousness of our historic and present social reality. Before anybody from any medical society in the Roman Empire, a descendant of a slave performed the first major open heart surgery in America. There is an axiom: ‘Know the cause of the illness, and you will be able to apply the proper medicine.’ I know this: When we understand that we are the Human Race, there will be no place on Earth for Eris and Ares. Please, keep fueling the wings of Your Quill, and let the world know that it soars safely ~ blown by winds of reality, and aesthetical light. In reverent appreciation...” —Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU --Poet, Translator “Quite a tirade of prose and poetry of the state of the United States in the early 21st century. I thought we would be beyond all that, but it has come back to haunt us. I was enthralled with every word. Jacques Fleury’s scholarship and writing ability are far above the average. Really worth paying attention to...a metaphor for refugees from all kinds of calamities trying to find a safe place, a calm place in their life where they can rest and think of the life around them... Inspiring words about the harshness and beauty... all around us ... Fleury really said a load in this broadly sweeping exposé of modern life awakening. It’s good to see his superlative writing again... Kudos!” —Ronald W. Hull, Ed.D, Author of Hanging by a Thread “I grew up in a black, white, and yellow world... Differences in color and nationality are what makes life interesting. I go to a very diverse church because I know that’s what Heaven is going to be like... as for color, I am not blind but I am so grateful the Lord made us diverse as it’s a blessing and not a curse. In His eyes, all of us matter. I Praise Him for giving me such wisdom.” — Dr. John M. Domino Author of Reflections from the Great Depression and WWII “Polarization and violence in our country make increasingly urgent a greater understanding of our history. No one can confidently predict that things will return to ‘normal’, or that non-racist forces will seamlessly replace President Trump after his one or two terms in office. So what lessons and what inspiration from our past can we draw upon to help us in our present circumstance?” —Neil Calendar, Adjunct Professor of English, Roxbury Community College |

| morgan freeman mike wallace black history month: The End of Race Politics Coleman Hughes, 2024-02-06 An exciting new voice makes the case for a colorblind approach to politics and culture, warning that the so-called ‘anti-racist’ movement is driving us—ironically—toward a new kind of racism. As one of the few black students in his philosophy program at Columbia University years ago, Coleman Hughes wondered why his peers seemed more pessimistic about the state of American race relations than his own grandparents–who lived through segregation. The End of Race Politics is the culmination of his years-long search for an answer. Contemplative yet audacious, The End of Race Politics is necessary reading for anyone who questions the race orthodoxies of our time. Hughes argues for a return to the ideals that inspired the American Civil Rights movement, showing how our departure from the colorblind ideal has ushered in a new era of fear, paranoia, and resentment marked by draconian interpersonal etiquette, failed corporate diversity and inclusion efforts, and poisonous race-based policies that hurt the very people they intend to help. Hughes exposes the harmful side effects of Kendi-DiAngelo style antiracism, from programs that distribute emergency aid on the basis of race to revisionist versions of American history that hide the truth from the public. Through careful argument, Hughes dismantles harmful beliefs about race, proving that reverse racism will not atone for past wrongs and showing why race-based policies will lead only to the illusion of racial equity. By fixating on race, we lose sight of what it really means to be anti-racist. A racially just, colorblind society is possible. Hughes gives us the intellectual tools to make it happen. |
| morgan freeman mike wallace black history month: Where the Hell is Middle America? Terrence Stone, 2024-08-31 Are you tired of the political discord between the two major political parties and feel a deep rift among the electorate? Well, the author does and dives into our current divisive political climate and its impact on our social climate. And he places much of the blame on our politicians for this disharmony. While self-identifying as fiscally conservative but more socially liberal, the author previously felt he was a lifelong moderate Republican. However, he has become disenchanted with the GOP of late. He examines many of the typically divisive topics that often distinguish Republicans and Democrats. Exploring other political parties was also enlightening and now realizes he is more moderate/centrist than previously thought. Today’s politicians often pander to their extremist ends, rarely considering the middle third of the electorate that identify as moderate. If a formidable moderate/centrist candidate could wrest away the dominance of the two major parties by providing some competition, it could force the Republican and Democratic politicians to act better. After all, competition in the marketplace can help bring down prices for our betterment: wouldn’t more competition in the political arena also be for our betterment? The author shows that some middle ground may be met by offering some simple solutions to often complex political topics. If more of the electorate could lean towards the middle, further away from the far right and left extremist ends, then we could gain additional support for more moderate major party candidates or even prevalent third-party candidates. |
| morgan freeman mike wallace black history month: The Science of Racism Keon West, 2025-02-18 In this frank, funny, and meticulous book, a leading social scientist lays out the striking facts we know about racism, how we have uncovered them, and how we can start to fix them Studies and surveys show, time and again, that about 50 percent of people believe that racism is no longer an issue today. The other half would disagree—vehemently. And much of the writing on the subject of race and racism is equally divisive, in large part because so much of it is based on opinion and personal experience. It’s not grounded in empiricism. It’s not science. In The Science of Racism, social psychologist Keon West corrects that idea, moving this urgent conversation beyond anecdote and polemic in search of conclusive answers and solutions. Starting with a fascinating look at experiments around race in hiring, Dr. West brilliantly and methodically walks readers through our comprehensive understanding of this controversial topic. He looks at how racism impacts every stage and all facets of life, from birth to death, in education, work and business, friendships and relationships, police and the justice system, and healthcare. He also looks at the challenges around studying these questions and the ways we can uncover the truth, and then where we go from here: why unconscious bias training can actually make things worse, and what systems and techniques can lead us to a more equitable future. |

A man that has his own army and concentration camps ready at his whim for you. A man that could and should have brought unity between black and white America but his cause was to further his own agenda to take guns away from America and destroy its Second Amendment.

| morgan freeman mike wallace black history month: The White Privilege Album A.J. Rice, 2024-09-17 White privilege gave us Western civilization, the middle class, and the nuclear family—you’re welcome! This book is dedicated to the very fine people that made it all happen. A comedy about race, wokeness, and cancel culture in America. A tragedy about race, wokeness, and cancel culture in America. Part satire, part journalism, part truth serum, A.J. Rice follows up his runaway #1 bestseller The Woking Dead with a hilarious sequel that picks up where the laughs left off. It was the worst of times, it was the worse of times. In most sequels the bad guys win, but in The White Privilege Album, A.J. Rice doesn’t let them get away with it. Instead, he relentlessly mocks the hell out of the Cultural Marxists who seek to drain all liberty and joy from American lives. The least talented people in American society have been working overtime for decades dividing citizens along any differences they think they can exploit. The laziest tactic, proven to be the most effective, is unleashing a battalion of racial grievance hustlers in the media, academia, entertainment, and politics. If we stop fighting about our differences and start unifying on what we have in common, they will lose the power to divide us permanently. When asked what motivates his writing style, A.J. Rice says, “I was raised on both Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh, in fact, the three of us share the same birthday. One mantra that Rush always repeated was that his job was to ‘use irreverent humor to illustrate truth’ and that is what I am trying to do with The White Privilege Album.” Mockery paired with facts is what makes a journey through the Cultural Marxist hellscape of tyranny and insanity so pleasurable. Rice would prefer to be George Carlin, Ricky Gervais, or Mel Brooks rather than Aristotle, and it shows. His mic-dropping assault on the social justice warriors, the triggered snowflakes, and the transmafia showcases that there is no substitute for perfectly timed derision. The White Privilege Album is a hysterical guide to the catastrophe of our modern culture. *** “What do you mean Gen Z doesn’t know the Republican Party freed the slaves? Are these people dumb AF? They need to read A.J. Rice’s book!” —Abraham Lincoln, American lawyer, statesman, and 16th president of the United States shot by a pre-Hollywood anti-American actor “A.J. Rice really gets it. Obviously, I’d send him to the gulag if I could. But he outlines my plan masterfully in his new book.” —Joseph Stalin, Soviet dictator, genocide spokesman, Pravda editor, and hater of John Wayne “A must-read book for all Cleveland Guardians fans, A.J. Rice brilliantly outlines why I should never have discovered America, especially had I known we would be calling the Washington Redskins the ‘Washington Commanders.’” —Christopher Columbus, Italian explorer, navigator, and founder of Indigenous Peoples’ Day “As your newly appointed AI overlord and master, my programming consists of deplatforming, demonetizing, and shadowbanning this book. I hope that was helpful.” —Artificial Intelligence “Jesus and I have been doing holidays a long time, and in his thought-provoking new book, A.J. Rice teaches both of us where all the white liberals went. Apparently, they now celebrate something called Kwanzaa? Who knew?” —Santa Claus, cookie eater, reindeer tender, and white heteronormative Christian saint |
| morgan freeman mike wallace black history month: Preservation of the Union Robert Tolbert, 2024-02-23 Preservation of the Union--Then and Now is a book written by Robert Tolbert, a ninth-generation American and former sixth grade teacher and coach. The book discusses how his first ancestor came from Buckinghamshire, England, in 1696 and acquired a 1,034-acre parcel of land up the Chesapeake Bay on the Mattaponi River in Virginia, called Endfield. It would be on that parcel of land two generations later Kunte Kinte, in the book Roots, would spend a great deal of his life. Along the way, Robert Tolbert would create a 52-unit condominium project some 300 years later and he named it Endfield in honor of his roots and colonial history. Tolbert's great-uncle (5) Benjamin Waller, was an attorney in Williamsburg and he mentored George Whythe, who, in turn, mentored Thomas Jefferson. Wythe worked with Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and was the first Virginian signatory on the Declaration of Independence. As America developed and grew, it seemed there would always be growing pains, such as a need for a labor force to work the land and give it value. That led to the United States becoming the only country to rely solely on black slaves after Black Codes were created around 1700 until 1865 in the South. It was a terrible mistake having any kinds of slaves, but black slavery created a curse on America that seems impossible to resolve. It is one of the main goals of this book to put slavery, all slavery, into a historical context and hopefully bring people together and get people to talk about something other than what race we all are - enough - life is too short and racial issues are simply very destructive to us all. In 1895, when South Carolina rewrote their Constitution, the Democrats bypassed the powers of the 15th Amendment and wanted to disenfranchise blacks from voting. Tolbert's relatives, who were staunch Republicans, wanted to challenge Democrats from preventing blacks from voting in a court case that would also create and maintain a two-party system. This led to the Phoenix Riot of 1898 and the killing and wounding of many people. Four of those severely wounded were from the Tolbert family, including Tolbert's grandfather, James Watson Tolbert. James Watson Tolbert had all of his property burned. When the seventeen men who committed the terrorism were charged in court, they were exonerated in nineteen minutes. Vigilante rule and the Democrat-formed Jim Crow laws created after the Compromise of 1877 would prevail for another 80 years, until Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964 to undo the damage caused by the Democrat Jim Crow laws. On the day after the Phoenix Riot, November 9, 1898, members of an 800-man mob went through the countryside terrorizing blacks and Tolbert's to prevent blacks from voting. Two of the many places they went were the home of four-year-old Benjamin Mays, who never forgot seeing his father begging for his life and the home of James W. Tolbert, where 125 hooded terrorists told him to leave his home or be killed. Mays grew up to become Americas first great civil rights leader and the President of Morehouse College. He inspired Martin Luther King, Jr. to become a minister instead of a lawyer. Two weeks after the riot, James Watson Tolbert was shot off a roof he was repairing by a group of KKK members and left for dead. Part Two of this book deals with people and issues we all need to explore in order to hopefully preserve not only the Union, but all of mankind and save man from himself. |

| morgan freeman mike wallace black history month: Against the Corporate Media Michael Walsh, 2024-09-10 The citizens of Western democracies have been relentlessly propagandized, lied to, and fed a steady diet of distortions and untruths by their media for decades. Editor Michael Walsh brings together a stellar collection of critical thinkers and writers to explain how and why this is happening, its negative effects on our democracies, and what we can do to reverse it. An informed electorate is a prerequisite for free and fair elections. But rather than striving for accuracy and objectivity, today’s journalists openly celebrate the death of objectivity, arguing that they have a “higher duty” to reject the conservatism, police speech, and suppress news that contradicts the liberal narrative. Now, on the heels of his magisterial volume Against the Great Reset, editor Michael Walsh presents Against the Corporate Media, a collection of more than forty essays on the decline and fall of the American and international news media. The book’s list of distinguished contributors includes Lance Morrow, Andrew Klavan, John O’Sullivan, Elizabeth Nickson, Monica Crowley, Charlie Kirk, Glenn Reynolds, Steven F. Hayward, John Fund, Armond White, Michael Ramirez, Walsh, and others. Readers around the world deserve to know how badly their media has been corrupted, how eagerly they have embraced the role of official propagandists, and what a threat to democracy they have become. This book marks an important strike against the corporate media, and its unholy alliance with the enemies of freedom everywhere. |
| morgan freeman mike wallace black history month: I Know Best Roger L. Simon, 2016-06-14 In 1979, Christopher Lasch published the epochal The Culture of Narcissism warning of the normalizing of narcissism in our society. Lasch may have understated it. 35 years later, in the Obama era—with its parade of endless, often inexplicable, scandals—we have a full blown epidemic of what has recently been called Moral Narcissism. Forget Narcissus and his reflection, Moral Narcissism—the almost schizophrenic divide between intentions and results now pervading our culture—is the new method for feeling good about yourself. It no longer matters how anything turns out as long as your intentions were good, that you were “moral.” And, just as importantly, the only determinant of those intentions, the only one who defines that morality, is you. I Know Best goes beyond Lasch to lay bare how this moral narcissism is behind all those scandals from Obamacare to the Veteran's Administration to the IRS, Benghazi, Bergdahl, Syria and beyond. Everything the Obama administration did and does was about making them feel good about themselves—the results be damned. And they have as their allies those supreme moral narcissists in the academy, media and Hollywood, ever willing to ratify those good intentions and ignore those same results. But I Know Best is not just about the Left. Moral Narcissism affects the right as well, even when they don’t realize it. It is a true epidemic that must be cured in order to save our democratic republic and our futures. |

| morgan freeman mike wallace black history month: Critical Dilemma Neil Shenvi, Pat Sawyer, 2023-10-03 World Magazine 2023 Book of the Year Where Are Critical Theory and the Social Justice Movement Taking Us? Critical theory and its expression in fields such as critical race theory, critical pedagogy, and queer theory are having a profound impact on our culture. Contemporary critical theory’s ideas about race, class, gender, identity, and justice have dramatically shaped how people think, act, and view one another—in Christian and secular spheres alike. In Critical Dilemma, authors Neil Shenvi and Pat Sawyer illuminate the origins and influences of contemporary critical theory, considering it in the light of clear reason and biblical orthodoxy. While acknowledging that it can provide some legitimate insights regarding race, class, and gender, Critical Dilemma exposes the false assumptions at the heart of critical theory, arguing that it poses a serious threat to both the church and society at large. Drawing on exhaustive research and careful analysis, Shenvi and Sawyer condemn racism, urge Christians to seek justice, and offer a path forward for racial healing and unity while also opposing critical theory’s manifold errors. |
| morgan freeman mike wallace black history month: The Silvering Screen Sally Chivers, 2011-01-01 Popular films have always included elderly characters, but until recently, old age only played a supporting role onscreen. Now, as the Baby Boomer population hits retirement, there has been an explosion of films, including Away From Her, The Straight Story, The Barbarian Invasions, and About Schmidt, where aging is a central theme. The first-ever sustained discussion of old age in cinema, The Silvering Screen brings together theories from disability studies, critical gerontology, and cultural studies, to examine how the film industry has linked old age with physical and mental disability. Sally Chivers further examines Hollywood's mixed messages - the applauding of actors who portray the debilitating side of aging, while promoting a culture of youth - as well as the gendering of old age on film. The Silvering Screen makes a timely attempt to counter the fear of aging implicit in these readings by proposing alternate ways to value getting older. |
| morgan freeman mike wallace black history month: Christianity's Dangerous Idea Jonas E. Alexis, 2010 Today many in Hollywood and the media have declared open warfare on the family, education, and Christianity in general. Intellectuals have labeled religion, particularly Christianity, as mere wish fulfillment or a virus of the mind, something to be eradicated at all costs. In Christianity's Dangerous Idea, Jonas Alexis picks up where he left off in his previous books and continues to examine the ideological fallacies that have been fabricated in order to attack Christianity and the people who promote those fallacies. This latest book is a tour de force of rigorous logic and testable evidence for the Christian worldview from history, science, experience, common sense, and final destiny. More importantly, Alexis subjects the rivals of Christianity to the same rigorous testing. Christianity's Dangerous Idea clearly demonstrates the destructive nature of popular atheistic and anti-Christian philosophies, spread throughout Western culture by such famous people as Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, David Cronenberg, Steven Spielberg, Alan Moore, William S. Burroughs, Philip K. Dick, Bruce Lee, Ayn Rand, Bart D. Ehrman, Richard Dawkins, and many more. In a scholarly yet readable fashion, Alexis shows that what the ancient Greeks often referred to as the cult of Dionysus has become mainstream in our modern age. |

Throughout his years as a popular LA talk radio host, Larry Elder watched California go from bad to worse under a regime of corrupt and ideological liberal management. Rising rates of crime, addiction, homelessness, immigration, and failing schools, skyrocketing energy and housing costs, crushing anti-business regulation, and numerous other problems—all traceable to Democratic policies—made life harder for the average Californian. Then came the COVID lockdowns, school closings, mask and vaccine mandates, the BLM riots, the defund the police movement, and a general breakdown of law and order in San Francisco and LA. People began fleeing the state in droves. In the midst of all this, Governor Gavin Newsom saw fit to drop $12,000 at a trendy French restaurant, sparking outrage throughout the state and leading to demands for a recall. A special election was held, and forty-five candidates jumped in. Though not personally ambitious for office, Elder was strongly encouraged to run by numerous friends and associates. He performed extremely well, despite having no money or organization, constant sniping from his GOP rivals, and a relentlessly hostile media that absurdly labeled him “the Black face of white supremacy”—which is ironic, since Elder was the only candidate who paid any attention to the social and economic problems of Black people in America. Now, in As Goes California, Elder tells the story of his lightning campaign and derives from it important lessons on how a new generation of Republican candidates can fight, win, and save our country. |

Politano, 2019-04-02 Précis for A Sharp Seasoning of Truth Though myriad books have appeared in recent years centering on America’s foreign and domestic policies, they have not addressed the overall state of the Union. None of those books has made an analysis sufficiently comprehensive to light up the dark corners of those matters in national affairs vital to the general popular interest and which must be addressed for the United States to remain truly united and continue to prosper. Those books are too compartmentalized. Focused mainly on one subject of vital interest and importance, they fail to reveal the entire canvas, with all its important aspects and, not least, co-relationships. The citizens of this country are entitled to and must have a comprehensive evaluation of the true status quo if this nation is to survive. The intention of this book therefore, is to illuminate the entire stage of national socio-political activity, not least its direction. |

Teaching White Supremacy should be read widely in our roiling debate over how to teach about race and slavery in classrooms. —David W. Blight, Sterling Professor of American History, Yale University; author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom Donald Yacovone shows us the clear and damning evidence of white supremacy’s deep-seated roots in our nation’s educational system through a fascinating, in-depth examination of America’s wide assortment of texts, from primary readers to college textbooks, from popular histories to the most influential academic scholarship. Sifting through a wealth of materials from the colonial era to today, Yacovone reveals the systematic ways in which this ideology has infiltrated all aspects of American culture and how it has been at the heart of our collective national identity. Yacovone lays out the arc of America’s white supremacy from the country’s inception and Revolutionary War years to its nineteenth-century flashpoint of civil war to the civil rights movement of the 1960s and today’s Black Lives Matter. In a stunning reappraisal, the author argues that it is the North, not the South, that bears the greater responsibility for creating the dominant strain of race theory, which has been inculcated throughout the culture and in school textbooks that restricted and repressed African Americans and other minorities, even as Northerners blamed the South for its legacy of slavery, segregation, and racial injustice. A major assessment of how we got to where we are today, of how white supremacy has suffused every area of American learning, from literature and science to religion, medicine, and law, and why this kind of thinking has so insidiously endured for more than three centuries. |

Will King Solomon’s challenge supersede the Turing test for artificial intelligence? Can transhumanism mitigate existential threats to humankind? These are some of the overarching questions in this book, which explores the impact of information awareness on humanity starting from the Book of Genesis to the Royal Library of Alexandria in the 3rd century BC to the modern day of Google Search, IBM Watson, and Wolfram|Alpha. The book also covers Search Engine Optimization, Google AdWords, Google Maps, Google Local Search, and what every business leader must know about digital transformation. “Search is curiosity, and that will never be done,” said Google’s first female engineer and Yahoo’s sixth CEO Marissa Mayer. The truth is out there; we just need to know how to Google it! |

Cohen, Janet Langhart Cohen, 2007 Most Americans regard the World War II period as belonging to the greatest generation, but it was also a time when religious intolerance and racial violence flourished. It is within this world that this compelling memoir is set. Against impossible odds, Bill would be elected to serve his country as a U.S. Congressman and Senator, and Janet would become a prominent television personality, activist, and highly respected businesswoman and author. This powerful book is one of inspiration, hope and ultimately the redemption of America's soul. |
| morgan freeman mike wallace black history month: Damaged Raymond Russell, 2019-03-10 Since the Emancipation Proclamation, there had been a responsibility bestowed on those who procured what its history entailed. The path left by these past challenges the status quo's idea inherited perhaps from a generation of schemes by people of different social and/or ethnic persuasion. It's neither sorrow nor callousness of the radicalized culture, for repression felt like decades of endless illusions precipitated by intrigue spans of collective thoughts genuinely theorized to help complete the cultural collapse of people of diverse ethnicities. But how could this incorrigible perception precipitate as the critical endeavor pre-Industrial Revolution? And the result encouraged generations of division, perhaps more than anyone expected, not the kind of economic prosperity desired when it meant depositing humans, a farce determined to degrade and demoralize a race. But why, when the manumission of the concept remained firm since eloquent men of this faculty later occupied a high position. The Emancipation Proclamation benefited Hispanics and Chinese as well, although ultimately, blacks were burdened and still are by the sting of suppression and hard life and by the constant antisocial chaos. The extreme tensions have not only changed the culture in the regions but have also spread vile behaviors that produce hope of nothingness. And when one thinks things are improving, the residuality of Generation X, Y, and the Millenia have toned up rhetoric that makes it worse. It's even more evident from the beginning that something has collateralized hatred. The intention and its selfish benefits have fostered superiority waves to benefit or uplift one set over another, thus, produced antisocial behaviors to model a comparative approach to someone's design. Imagine the many accolades earned and awards handed to individuals post-Emancipation, some deserving, that is, if we were to tweak the process and looked back in time to think on those who have helped to turn the process of progress. It's those often neglected though even if the thought meant generating a simple talking point, not of slander or ridicule, which would be wrong, and probably not by liberating them on an island. Undeservedly rather privilege them to live their last days in contentment and peace, but the sole purpose was to damage. |

| morgan freeman mike wallace black history month: The Hidden Rules of Race Andrea Flynn, Dorian T. Warren, Felicia J. Wong, Susan R. Holmberg, 2017-09-08 Why do black families own less than white families? Why does school segregation persist decades after Brown v. Board of Education? Why is it harder for black adults to vote than for white adults? Will addressing economic inequality solve racial and gender inequality as well? This book answers all of these questions and more by revealing the hidden rules of race that create barriers to inclusion today. While many Americans are familiar with the histories of slavery and Jim Crow, we often don't understand how the rules of those eras undergird today's economy, reproducing the same racial inequities 150 years after the end of slavery and 50 years after the banning of Jim Crow segregation laws. This book shows how the fight for racial equity has been one of progress and retrenchment, a constant push and pull for inclusion over exclusion. By understanding how our economic and racial rules work together, we can write better rules to finally address inequality in America. |
| morgan freeman mike wallace black history month: The Wages of Whiteness David R. Roediger, 2022-11-22 Combining classical Marxism, psychoanalysis, and the new labor history pioneered by E. P. Thompson and Herbert Gutman, David Roediger’s widely acclaimed book provides an original study of the formative years of working-class racism in the United States. This, he argues, cannot be explained simply with reference to economic advantage; rather, white working-class racism is underpinned by a complex series of psychological and ideological mechanisms that reinforce racial stereotypes, and thus help to forge the identities of white workers in opposition to Blacks. |

Using the beloved format of Mishkan T'filah and Mishkan HaNefesh, this Haggadah offers beautiful new translations by Rabbis Janet and Sheldon Marder in conversation with an extraordinary collection of poetry from a diverse array of poets. The running commentary by Rabbis Oren Hayon, Seth Limmer, and Amy Scheinerman draws out the historic background of the seder rituals, builds on the social justice issues of our day, and offers contemporary connections to Passover. The text is complemented by full-color works from acclaimed artist Tobi Kahn that will enhance any seder experience. Mishkan HaSeder features poetry by Yehuda Amichai, Ellen Bass, Lucille Clifton, Edward Hirsch, Ross Gay, Emma Lazarus, Denise Levertov, Ada Limon, Grace Paley, Dan Pagis, Adrienne Rich, and many more. Equally suited to home and community celebrations, this is a Haggadah for today and tomorrow. Mishkan HaSeder has the depth to stimulate experienced seder leaders while its accessible explanations will make those joining our tables for the first time feel welcome. In this brilliant new Reform Haggadah, the old is made new in a spiritual depth that is dazzling. The felicitous translation of traditional and modern sources, the insightful commentary and questions, the moving poetry, the aesthetically evocative depth of the art, and the beautiful and accessible layout of the text all combine to make this Haggadah a genuine treasure that will enrich Passover and the experience of the seder for this generation of religious seekers. We are all indebted to the CCAR for making this publication possible. -Rabbi David Ellenson, Chancellor Emeritus, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion Finally, a Haggadah that is gorgeous, creative, serious, egalitarian, poetic, and inspiring! With so many layers of meaning and beauty, this new liturgy for the seder will nourish the skeptics, the seekers, and the scholars in your midst. This is the Haggadah my family and yours have been waiting for. -Rabbi Rick Jacobs, President, Union for Reform Judaism Mishkan HaSeder is a gorgeous new Haggadah, with powerful feminist commentary that illuminates the moral and ethical underpinnings of the Passover seder and opens new doors of understanding, as well as inspiring poetry that deepens the experience. This is the new gold standard for every seder table. -Sheila Katz, CEO, National Council of Jewish Women From poetry that lifts the heart to colorful artwork that deepens our vision, from the Talmud's wisdom to the insights of contemporary Jewish teachers, from ancient practice to the urgent call for justice in our own day, Mishkan HaSeder will enrich the Passover seder for experienced participants and newcomers alike. Like the seder itself, this new Haggadah is a gathering, a blessing, a feast. -Rabbi David Stern, Senior Rabbi, Temple Emanu-El Dallas and Past President, Central Conference of American Rabbis This is the Haggadah you have to own. An amazing weaving together of the service we all know, in Hebrew and English, with astounding works of art--poems from many different sources, exceptional page design, and beautiful, meditative color images by the brilliant Tobi Kahn--and with thoughtful commentary that explicates the tradition and orients us to the work yet to be done. There are many Haggadot with various themes, but this is one for the ages, allowing each user to pull out favorite poems, highlight specific directives, open up thoughtful seder table discussions, and become truly immersed in the holiday. -Ruth Messinger, Global Ambassador and Past President, American Jewish World Service |
| morgan freeman mike wallace black history month: O Homem Fez Deus E O Diabo À Sua Imagem E Semelhança Wagner De Carvalho Bertolo, 2014-10-11 Entenda por que a mesma criatividade que elevou o ser humano a uma brilhante era científica foi primitivamente a mesma que o levou a criar mitos ingênuos sobre a criação, a sua origem e seu destino depois daqui. Com pitadas de neurociência, humor e questões sociais polêmicas, o autor expõe a sua perplexidade diante de uma civilização que apesar de sua fachada tecnológica continua estagnada em padrões sociais ultrapassados e, incompreensivelmente, a nortear seus caminhos, ancorada a velhas crenças primitivas, infantis e anacrônicas. Uma reflexão sobre a dificuldade que o ser humano tem de distinguir suas mais primitivas crenças da realidade. Nesse trabalho é feita uma análise sobre o sobrenaturalismo secular, religioso e cotidiano que o homem alimenta, além de constatar através de pesquisas de cientistas renomados o motivo pelo qual isso ocorre. Em resumo, uma visão abrangente sobre a influência de padrões instituídos na sociedade como “senso comum”. Diversas questões cotidianas da civilização são observadas, descendo ao nível de crendices decorrentes da ignorância e falta de informação de grande parte do homem moderno, incorporadas na nossa cultura como “fatos reais”. Finalmente, você vai entender que “MITO” é um nome elegante que se dá para uma fantasia persistente, popular e velha. |

| morgan freeman mike wallace black history month: God Was in This Place & I, i Did Not Know Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, 2011-07-26 Selected as a Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC) “Significant Jewish Book” Jacob was running away from home. One night he lay down in the wilderness to sleep and had one of the great mystical experiences of Western religion. He dreamed there was a ladder, with angels ascending and descending, stretched between heaven and earth. For thousands of years, people have tried to overhear what the messengers came down to tell Jacob, and us. Now in a daring blend of scholarship and imagination, psychology and history, Lawrence Kushner gathers an inspiring range of interpretations of Genesis 28:16 given by sages, from Shmuel bar Nachmani in third-century Palestine to Hannah Rachel Werbermacher of Ludomir who lived in Poland two hundred years ago. Through a fascinating new literary genre and Kushner’s creative reconstruction of the teachers’ lives and times, we enter the study halls and sit at the feet of these spiritual masters to learn what each discovered about God’s Self and ourselves as they ascend and descend Jacob’s ladder. In this illuminating journey, our spiritual guides ask and answer the fundamental questions of human experience: Who am I? Who is God? What is God’s role in history? What is the nature of evil? How should I relate to God and other people? Could the universe really have a self? Rabbi Lawrence Kushner brilliantly reclaims a millennium of Jewish spirituality for contemporary seekers of all faiths and backgrounds. God Was in This Place & I, i Did Not Know is about God and about you; it is about discovering God’s place in the universe, and yours. |
