Woodson, known as the “father of black history,” who launched the celebration of “Negro History Week” in 1926, famously said: “Those who have no history of what their forebears have accomplished lose inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history.” Teamsters Local 237 Oral History Project in Puerto Rico addresses that sentiment very well. Conceived by Nancy B. True, the Director of the Retiree Division, more than 25 years ago, this huge undertaking is not only about Local 237’s past, but also about our future. The project records more than six decades of advocacy on behalf of our members, as well as enshrines the richness of our cultural diversity we so proudly proclaim. With many of our retirees of Puerto Rican descent having moved back to Puerto Rico, the Oral History Project and the resulting book was a natural fit and became a labor of love about labor. The historian, Ken Burns once said: “People tend to forget that the word ‘history’ contains the word ‘story’. That does not apply here. The Oral History Project and this book recount the past remembered by people who lived it. They offer their remembrances in a passionate, compelling way that no mere textbook could ever capture. The pictures and artifacts of their experiences are not antiques, but treasures which will make current and future members feel inspired and proud. As former President Barack Obama said: “The best history doesn’t just sit behind a glass case; it helps us to understand what’s outside the case.” I thank all of the participants in this project for sharing their stories, and Nancy True for having the insight to understand the value of preserving our past. In solidarity, Gregory Floyd, President of Teamsters

  • Diaspora Y Soberania Nacional
    www.soberaniapopular.com Diaspora y Soberania Nacional www.soberaniapopular.com Diaspora y Soberania Nacional Analizando la relación entre la diáspora puertorriqueña y la necesidad de soberania nacional que tiene Puerto Rico. Por Ezequiel González Revisión 2.0 Marzo 29, 2009 1 / 12 www.soberaniapopular.com Diaspora y Soberania Nacional www.soberaniapopular.com Parte I La Diaspora Puertorriqueña El territorio nacional puertorriqueño es relativamente pequeño y ya está sobrepoblado. Para colmo de males, hemos adoptado muchas costumbres y estilos de vida traidos del Norte, de los Estados Unidos Continentales, donde los espacios son enormes y, desde el punto de vista del individuo, el territorio es casi infinito. Y si se llega a sus límites, pues le arrebatamos otro canto a otro pais, y seguimos creciendo. En el caso de Estados Unidos, ese crecimiento es posible. En el nuestro no lo es. Ya nuestro teritorio nacional está definido y no va a crecer. Nuestra población, sin embargo, sigue creciendo. Esto hace que inevitablemente miles y miles de puertorriqueños sigan emigrando. Es algo natural. Cuando un joven puertorriqueño se gradua de Universidad, es lógico que envie aplicaciones a muchos lugares, dentro y fuera del territorio nacional. Si consigue trabajo en Puerto Rico y decide quedarse y hacer su vida en Puerto Rico: Muy bien. Pero si lo llaman de Madrid, de Caracas, de Los Angeles, de México o de Toronto, y si la oferta cumple con todas sus expectativas salariales, y anhelos profesionales ¿qué ha de hacer este joven? ¿Quedarse en Puerto Rico, trabajando en otra cosa, mientras que en otro lugar le han ofrecido un trabajo haciendo lo que el más desea hacer? Lo lógico es que movido por una combinación de aspiraciones profesionales y salariales, parta hacia el exterior.

There was definitely no traditional conspiracy when you eyes of either potential disasters or potential major victories, the end think of the word, which was people getting together and plotting to results of which will largely tell the tale of the two biggest promotions get something accomplished. Titan Sports was not involved in any in the United States and two biggest mat news stories in this country profit-sharing of the steroid revenue derived from its wrestlers, which of 1994. may be a key point, although virtually all this was well-known by anyone who has been following the story from the beginning. The The most powerful promoter and largest wrestling company in the argument that it profited from the drug use at the other end, through country and in some ways, the world, is on trial and facing a potential ticket sales, merchandise sales or whatever, needs to be a strong lengthy prison term. In addition, World Championship Wrestling, with convincing argument to get a conviction on this point. Even if there is the Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair Bash at the Beach PPV match on 7/17, a strong and convincing argument to that point, that still doesn't is facing a trial of its own, a financial one.

  • The Construction and Performance of Race in American Professional Wrestling
    THE DARK CARNIVAL: THE CONSTRUCTION AND PERFORMANCE OF RACE IN AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING Nicholas Porter A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2011 Committee: Dr. Montana Miller, Advisor Dr. Dalton Jones Dr. Kristen Rudisill ii ABSTRACT Dr. Montana Miller, Advisor The aim of this thesis was to analyze the presence of race in American professional wrestling. Wrestling is a performance form, and draws much of its inspiration from the culture of the American nation. It reflects cultural trends through its wrestlers, who portray characters designed to appeal to a mass audience. However, its predetermined or “scripted” nature implies a huge degree of control on the part of its producers. Everything in wrestling is a pre-meditated and as such representations of cultural issues such as race can be interrogated for the cultural mentality that lies behind them. My interest falls in investigating how race was and is displayed within wrestling, and how the performance today addresses this complex matter in an increasingly multicultural American audience. An underlying theme is that the construction and depiction of racial wrestlers is the result, or avoidance of, of crucial changes in the wider American culture. The actual formation of wrestling characters—and the negotiations non-white wrestlers have to make between their racial identities and the nature of the characters they portray—is a recurring theme that I believe vital to a deeper analysis of the subject. The focus of my thesis is a chronological one.
