The color of law author6/29/2023 "We have a fair housing law to prevent discrimination, so people think the problem is in the past…but it's not," said Rothstein. Rothstein and Greene discussed the context of The Color of Law, as well as his new book Just Action, which shines light on what actions can be taken to truly redress segregation in this country. The powerful public reaction to The Color of Law inspired Rothstein's current work, a guidebook for Americans seeking to redress and overcome this legacy. In his book, he argued that our segregated communities–and today's racial homeownership and wealth gaps–are the result of explicitly discriminatory government policies at the local, state, and federal levels. Richard Rothstein is the author of The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How our Government Segregated America, which spent 50 weeks on the New York Times best seller list. Orlando, FL (November 13, 2022) – Yesterday, Richard Rothstein, best-selling author and Distinguished Fellow at the Economic Policy Institute, was joined by Bryan Greene, Vice President of Policy Advocacy for the National Association of Realtors®, to discuss the past, present and future of equity in housing.

Miles by Miles Davis6/29/2023 Miles Davis during rehearsals for an episode of The Robert Herridge Theatre, New York, 1959. Long ignored, the session is on its way to rehabilitation. On the Corner (1972)īill Laswell, Miles’s posthumous remixer, called 1972’s On the Corner “mutant hip-hop” – others have heard dub, pre-punk, drum’n’bass and more in its oceanic, thick-textured, harmony-purged turmoil of multiple keyboards, overdubs, saxes and percussion. Going only by the visuals, the trumpeter reflected the movie’s desolate romanticism perfectly. The director Louis Malle hired a Paris-loving, 31-year-old Miles and a French/US band including the bebop drummer Kenny Clarke to improvise a soundtrack for his noirish 1958 thriller L’Ascenseur Pour L’Echafaud (Lift to the Scaffold). While Laswell’s echoey, bass-pumping, beat-swelling treatments sometimes twist the originals way out of shape, their creator’s spirit runs through it all. Panthalassa: The Music of Miles Davis 1969-1974 (1998)Īudacious but sympathetic remixes by imaginative producer/player Bill Laswell, of music from Miles’s heavily experimental 1970s period, including In a Silent Way. It’s a bit lightweight for its subject, but the Jaco Pastorius tribute is both swinging and soulful, and the title ballad is bittersweet acoustic Miles at his most poignant. Marcus Miller, Miles’s 1980s svengali, scored and glossily produced this late-career set dedicated to South Africa’s liberation from apartheid. Herodotus and the road to history6/29/2023 This king, finding it impossible to make out by dint of inquiry what men were the most ancient, contrived the following method of discovery:- He took two children of the common sort, and gave them over to a herdsman to bring up at his folds, strictly charging him to let no one utter a word in their presence, but to keep them in a sequestered cottage, and from time to time introduce goats to their apartment, see that they got their fill of milk, and in all other respects look after them. Since Psammetichus, however, made an attempt to discover who were actually the primitive race, they have been of opinion that while they surpass all other nations, the Phrygians surpass them in antiquity. Now the Egyptians, before the reign of their king Psammetichus, believed themselves to be the most ancient of mankind. Cambyses, the son of this lady and of Cyrus, regarding the Ionian and Aeolian Greeks as vassals of his father, took them with him in his expedition against Egypt among the other nations which owned his sway. Cassandane had died in the lifetime of Cyrus, who had made a great mourning for her at her death, and had commanded all the subjects of his empire to observe the like. On the death of Cyrus, Cambyses his son by Cassandane daughter of Pharnaspes took the kingdom.

We have done that and there is no discussion about it. Probably the biggest dream I had was to connect again with the soul of this football club and our people. The team deserved, and our people deserved, to end it in a good way, so I'm really happy. "It has been a really emotional year and a special season. It was really, really nice the way they transmitted their love and support to the team and to every player, and obviously towards me as well. Arsenal's Mikel Arteta feels the club and the fans have reconnectedĪrsenal manager Mikel Arteta saluted the club's fans for their reception after the win, when his name was sung for an extended period before he spoke on the pitch, and said he is proud of how his team have reconnected with the fanbase. The Bible by Anonymous6/29/2023 Though we do not know their names, they all were known and loved by God. The Bible is filled with “anonymous” women who made a significant impact in God’s story.Īnonymous helps women discover their uniqueness and significance to Christ by exploring some of the "anonymous" women of the Bible. Whether they are working women, stay-at-home moms, or women moving into their retirement years, they all want to be a somebody who makes a positive impact in the world around them. Women today are searching for ways to make a difference in their daily lives. That’s because we are His creations, and everything He created is good! While the opinion of others may drag us down, the God who created us has an entirely different opinion of who we are. At one time or another, every woman has felt overlooked, unimportant, and bruised by the world. The Wet Nurse's Tale by Erica Eisdorfer6/28/2023 We love Banned Books Week, partly because it’s fun to see students’ eyes widen when they read that, for example, Anne Frank’s diary was removed from Alabama school shelves because “it’s a real downer.” Or that Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States was banned from an AP high school class in Virginia because “it’s un-American, leftist propaganda.” Or that Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, the classic look at Native American history from the Indian point of view, was challenged in Wisconsin because “if there’s a possibility that a book might be controversial, why not eliminate it?” Further, when the students realize that many books have been challenged across the country this very year alone-the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary was-Barbara Ehrenreich’s Nickel & Dimed was-they’re rudely awakened to the strange politics of censorship in America. The Bull’s Head Bookshop, here on the UNC’s Chapel Hill campus, is eager to cut the cake. Erica Eisdorfer is more than just a booklover, she’s a novelist and a bookseller, too, and she’s had first-hand experience on the censorship front.–ellenīanned Books Week 2010 is the 29 th annual celebration of our freedom to read.
