SANTIAGO comité noviembre th 25mes de la herenciaAnniversary puertorriqueña MESSAGE ON BEHALF OF COMITÉ NOVIEMBRE For the past 25 years, Comité Noviembre, CN has celebrated Puerto Rican Heritage Month in this country. As we prepared this 25th anniversary journal one thing was crystal clear Comité Noviembre has made an impact on the history of the Puerto Rican community both on the mainland and on the island. The very survival and existence of CN over the years has been made possible by an amazing collective of dedicated and committed individuals and organizations that have devoted their time and energy to the success and preservation of this organization. CN is a volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to commemorating and acknowledging the contributions Puerto Ricans have made to this city, state and nation. CN is composed of ten of the oldest and most prestigious Puerto Rican organiza- tions: the Institute for the Puerto Rican/Hispanic Elderly, ASPIRA of New york, el Museo del Barrio, Eugenio María de Hostos Community College, El Centro de Estudios Puertorriqueños, El Puente, LatinoJustice PRLDEF, the National Insti- tute for Latino Policy, the National Congress for Puerto Rican Rights – Justice Committee, and the Puerto Rico Federal Af- fairs Administration. To commemorate our 25th anniversary, CN is proud to announce that the La Fundación Nacional para la Cultura Popular will join our ranks becoming the first organization based in Puerto Rico to be part of our Board. This coordinating body plans and promotes CN’s annual programs and events. The charge of CN is to create awareness of our rich culture, language, and heritage and to acknowledge and take ownership of it everyday but specifically during the month of November. The annual theme is developed with the understanding that beyond celebrating our heritage, it must help to motivate, mobilize and empower our community around critical concerns. This year’s theme: “Comité Noviembre 25 años…Unidos por nuestro orgullo Boricua - Comité Noviembre 25 years...Unit- ed by our Puerto Rican pride,” celebrates and pays tribute to the work and accomplishments of Comité Noviembre in the last 25 years. The theme speaks to the spirit, energy and pride of this volunteer organization. Its dedication and commitment to maintain its mission clear to promote, teach, preserve and create awareness of the rich culture, language and heritage of the Puerto Rican community both in the United States and Puerto Rico. For 25 years, CN has commemorated the outstanding achievements of Puerto Ricans in all aspects of life and society. At the same time through its theme it has brought to light the pressing issues of our community. CN has affected change and garnered results because we have united in our pride as Puerto Ricans. Because of CN, November is our month to discuss all aspects and issues of our community. In this milestone year, CN came full circle. It went back to basics to the very essence of who we are as an organization that is dedicated to educational excellence and leadership development of our young people. CN is thrilled that it has the first Puerto Rican woman Rhodes Scholar Lisette Nieves as our 2011 Spokesperson. She is a Belle zeller Distinguished visiting Professor in Public Policy at the City University of New york at Brooklyn College, a social entrepreneur-in-residence at the Blue Ridge Foundation and on October 5, 2011, she was sworn in as a member of the President’s Advisory Commission on the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics. In 1987 when CN was established our community was fighting for Latino representation on the NyC Board of education. Although we have come a long way we have much to do. In October 2010, the Community Service Society released a Policy Brief entitled: New york City’s future looks Latino where it stated that “Puerto Ricans, particularly males, emerge as the most disadvantaged youth group in New york City, with rates of school enrollment, educational attainment, and employ- ment lower than any other comparable group, including young black males. Similarly, Puerto Rican women show more challenges than other female youth. In the past, this finding may have been obscured by research that groups Latino youth into one broad category. It is time to pay specific attention to the plight of Puerto Rican youth in New york City.” On this our 25th anniversary Comité Noviembre is challenging itself and each, and everyone, of you, to assist us in launch- ing a mentoring program geared specifically to these at-risk Puerto Rican young men and woman. As a Puerto Rican orga- nization it is our duty and responsibility to save our future. yes, we can make a difference one child at a time. 25th Anniversary Photo: Ana Alicea Ana Photo: Comité Noviembre Board Members This journal also carries interesting, cultural, political and educational information that we hope will be of interest to you. We pride ourselves in being able to discuss all aspects and issues of our community – with respect, objectivity and pride. Most importantly, we want to share with you the inspiring stories of our Lo Mejor de Nuestra Comunidad award recipients – truly exceptional, dedicated individuals who are the unsung heroes of our community and who are making a difference in not only the Puerto Rican community but society as a whole. The Lo Mejor de Nuestra Comunidad award honors Puerto Ricans whose pride in their heritage and strength of character have empowered themselves and inspired others to make sig- nificant impact on our community. What is important to understand is that these award recipients are chosen by CN from nominations submitted by the community. The 2011 Lo Mejor recipients are: Humberto Cintron, pioneer, creator and pro- ducer of Realidades, Caridad De La Luz, “La Bruja” poet and community activist, David Galarza, Community Specialist, CSEA, Esperanza Martell, poet, co-founder of Casa Atabex Ache, Carmen Alustiza-Mondesire, pioneer community activist, Jose Ortiz, Dr. Drum, founder and artistic director of Bombayo, Candy “Warixi” Soto, leader, Ku Karey Spiritual Circle, and founder of the Taíno Awards and Dr. Anderson Torres, PhD, vice president, Puerto Rican Family Institute. For the past two and half decades, CN, has created and developed programs all geared to the support and enhancement of educational opportunities and leadership development for Puerto Rican and Hispanic youth with a cultural twist. These programs are firmly rooted in the belief, that in order to succeed in life, you must pursue a higher education, give back to your community through volunteer efforts and know your cultural roots. Our success story covers 187 scholars awarded since the CN Scholarship program was instituted in 1996 and an additional 10 scholars awarded the Richie Pérez Scholarship for Peace and Justice, since its inception in 2006. All boast a 90% college graduation rate. Exceptional youth making a difference each day by volunteering and becoming involved in the social, civic and global issues of their time. The 2011 recipients of both scholarship programs are highlighted in the journal as well as the names of all of our scholars. you will be inspired by the clear sense of self and strength of character of these incredible young people that are making a difference early on in their lives. This year’s benefit event will take place on Thursday, November 10, 2011, at the Ny Hilton in Manhattan and will honor: Karina E. Alomar, Esq., Alomar & Associates P.C, Angie Benitez, Founder, Susan G. Komen for the Cure/Puerto Rico, Nestor v.

  • Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues
    Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues Dr. Jonathan Petropoulos PROFESSOR, DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, LOYOLA COLLEGE, MD UNITED STATES Art Looting during the Third Reich: An Overview with Recommendations for Further Research Plenary Session on Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues It is an honor to be here to speak to you today. In many respects it is the highpoint of the over fifteen years I have spent working on this issue of artworks looted by the Nazis. This is a vast topic, too much for any one book, or even any one person to cover. Put simply, the Nazis plundered so many objects over such a large geographical area that it requires a collaborative effort to reconstruct this history. The project of determining what was plundered and what subsequently happened to these objects must be a team effort. And in fact, this is the way the work has proceeded. Many scholars have added pieces to the puzzle, and we are just now starting to assemble a complete picture. In my work I have focused on the Nazi plundering agencies1; Lynn Nicholas and Michael Kurtz have worked on the restitution process2; Hector Feliciano concentrated on specific collections in Western Europe which were 1 Jonathan Petropoulos, Art as Politics in the Third Reich (Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press).

  • Sitios Arqueológicos De Ponce
    Sitios Arqueológicos de Ponce RESUMEN ARQUEOLÓGICO DEL MUNICIPIO DE PONCE La Perla del Sur o Ciudad Señorial, como popularmente se le conoce a Ponce, tiene un área de aproximadamente 115 kilómetros cuadrados. Colinda por el oeste con Peñuelas, por el este con Juana Díaz, al noroeste con Adjuntas y Utuado, y al norte con Jayuya. Pertenece al Llano Costanero del Sur y su norte a la Cordillera Central. Ponce cuenta con treinta y un barrios, de los cuales doce componen su zona urbana: Canas Urbano, Machuelo Abajo, Magueyes Urbano, Playa, Portugués Urbano, San Antón, Primero, Segundo, Tercero, Cuarto, Quinto y Sexto, estos últimos seis barrios son parte del casco histórico de Ponce. Por esta zona urbana corren los ríos Bucaná, Portugués, Canas, Pastillo y Matilde.

  • When Honor Will Not Suffice: the Need for a Legally Binding International Agreement Regarding Ownership of Nazi-Looted Art
    COMMENTS WHEN HONOR WILL NOT SUFFICE: THE NEED FOR A LEGALLY BINDING INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT REGARDING OWNERSHIP OF NAZI-LOOTED ART KELLY ANN FALCONER* 1. INTRODUCTION The casualties of the Second World War were not limited to the human victims. Along with the millions of lives lost during the Holocaust, millions of works of art fell victim to the Nazi Regime.1 Although the capture of art and cultural property dur- ing a war is an ancient practice, the Nazis systematically looted Europe's art during World War II on an unprecedented scale.2 The theft of this art was not simply a case of the victors claiming the spoils. For Hitler, both the acquisition and cleansing of art * J.D. Candidate, 2000, University of Pennsylvania Law School;B.A., 1996, University of Virginia. I would like to thank my family for their uncondi- tional love and support. I would also like to thank Karen Hook for casually mentioning THE LOST MUSEUM and thereby providing me with a wonderfu comment topic. Lastly, I would like to thank my father, Russell Falconer, for his generosity and encouragement over the last three years. This Comment is dedicated to my mother, Carol Falconer, because even after three years of law school I still do not know how to begin to thank her. 1 See Lynn H.

  • ABSTRACT AMERICAN BORN IMAMS: NEGOTIATING CLERICAL RESPONSIBILITIES and EXPECTATIONS by Anas Askar April, 2017 Director of Thesi
    ABSTRACT AMERICAN BORN IMAMS: NEGOTIATING CLERICAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND EXPECTATIONS by Anas Askar April, 2017 Director of Thesis: Dr. Lee Maril Department of Sociology This inductive, exploratory study seeks to understand in detail the personal perspectives and career paths that American born Imams experience as they become religious leaders. In doing so, this study will examine their objectives and goals for the religious communities in which they reside and are integrally related. More specifically, this study analyzes the responsibilities and expectations with which imams must contend on a daily basis. Symbolic interactionism frames these issues and, at the same time, is the driving force behind an understanding of the imams’ experiences as well as those of other important actors in Muslim communities. Employing structured and in-depth interviews, this convenience sample of American born imams addresses key questions which inductively give rise to three major themes: imams currently receive inadequate training for their positions as religious leaders in their communities; the relationship between the mosque board and an imam can directly reinforce or mitigate against problems within the religious community; and certain fundamental advantages along with disadvantages emerge for imams who are American born.
