INDEX DURHAM DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA 1,000 CE There appears to have been some population shifting from southwestward, possibly caused by hostile conflict with Iroquoians. During this Late Woodland period there was widespread adoption of horticulture in southern New England. The Wampanoag who were encountered by the European intrusives of the 16th and early 17th centuries were in this phase of their culture. NEW ENGLAND During the Late Prehistoric tradition, several cultures arose in different parts of Ohio. People lived in large villages surrounded by a stockade wall. Sometimes they built their villages on a plateau overlooking a river. They grew different plants in their gardens. Maize and beans became the most important foods (squash, another important plant, had been being grown since the Late Archaic). In what is now North Carolina, people of the Mississippian culture in what we describe as the Piedmont region, were continuing to construct earthwork mounds or add onto existing ones. In the five to seven centuries preceding the initial European contacts, this Mississippian culture would produce large, complex cities and maintain farflung regional trading networks. HDT WHAT?

A Spanish expedition under the command of Alonso de Ojeda explored Colombia’s Caribbean coast. On the basis of Arawak rumors about the Muisca, who allegedly were showering their lake-dwelling gods with gold dust, Ojeda would be inventing the enduring white mythology known as “El Dorado,” native City of Gold. At this point the native tribes of North Carolina included the Bear River Indians, Cape Fear Indians, Catawba, Cheraw, Cherokee, Chowanoc, Machapunga, Moratok, Natchez, Occaneechi, Saponi, Shakori, Tuscarora, and Waccamaw.

INDEX DURHAM DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA 1521 June 24, Monday (Old Style): The 1st recorded Spanish expedition reached the Carolina coast, probably near Winyah Bay. (During this year Francisco de Gordillo and Quexos were in general exploring the Atlantic coast of North America to Cape Hatteras off North Carolina.) CHARLESTON According to Quattlebaum’s THE LAND CALLED CHICORA, initially the Chicora headman at Georgetown Bay sent 50 men to the visiting ships to deliver gifts of skins, little pearls, and a bit of silver, and then provided guides to help the Spaniards cross the bay and explore the countryside. At the end of the month Captain Francisco de Gordillo and another captain cut crosses into trees as a way of taking possession of the land in the name of their king. When they had 140 Chicorans being entertained aboard ship, the Spaniards would consider that they had taken up their allotment of Chicoran slaves, and sail for Hispaniola. Lucás Vasquéz de Ayllon would order that the captives be returned, but he took one, whom he gave the name Francisco Chicora, with him to Spain to meet the historians Oviedo and Peter Martyr. (The French would also explore the coast of Carolina. Captain Jean Ribaut and crew would put down anchor at what is now Port Royal, which the Spaniards had called Santa Elena. Two native guides for Ribaut and his lieutenant René de Laudonniere would offer to take the Frenchmen “to see the greatest Lord of this country whom they called Chiquola.”) NEVER READ AHEAD!

INDEX DURHAM DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA 1526 November: There is something we need to bear in mind about our term “settler,” which has for so long been a code designation for people who are privileged to be inheritors due to the white color of their skins. The thing we need to bear in mind is that in this month of this year there were some 500 Spaniards under Francisco Gordillo, a skipper for Lucás Vasquéz de Ayllon, with some 100 black slaves, at Cape Fear, forming the 1st “settlement” on the lands that would someday be included within the United States of America. Their settlement was called San Miguel de Gualdape, and it was located on the Pee Dee River, probably near Winyah Bay at what is now Georgetown, South Carolina. They’d been there since August, and during this month of November, since the whites were being decimated by a sickness, the black slaves of the settlement were able to enter into an alliance with the local tribe of red Americans (Chicora or Shakori or Chiquola) and stage a successful revolt. CHARLESTON HDT WHAT? INDEX DURHAM DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA Approximately 150 of the 500 whites managed to make their way back to Hispaniola, leaving these approximately 100 blacks to become (disregarding for the moment, as is unfortunately conventional, native American settlers who had been on this continent already for some 10,000 to 20,000 years) our first permanent “settlers.” Which is to say, when General Andrew Jackson would be down in Georgia and Florida attempting to exterminate “Seminoles” of mixed red and black origins who had found refuge in the swamps a dozen or so generations later, it is plausible that the persons whom he was attempting to exterminate were in actuality a people whom we ought to be honoring as the legitimate descendants of our “first settlers”! Had these 100 persons been white, there would now be an extensive shelflist honoring them in every bookstore in our grand nation. They’d be part of the perennial Search For The Blue-Eyed Indian. But no, they were black, and so they are ignored. I will quote from the presumptuous just-so story as it is told by Kevin Mulroy in 1993 in his FREEDOM ON THE BORDER: THE SEMINOLE MAROONS IN FLORIDA, THE INDIAN TERRITORY, COAHUILA, AND TEXAS (Lubbock TX: Texas Tech UP, pages 10-11): At the very time the Seminole band were establishing a separate political identity in Florida, therefore, their neighbors were treating Africans favorably. The Spaniards welcomed runaways from southern plantations, gave them their freedom, and asked for little in return save for their cooperation in repelling elements hostile to both parties. The way these Europeans treated their African associates well may have made an impression upon the Seminoles. The Spaniards allowed Africans to live apart, own arms and property, travel at will, choose their own leaders, organize into military companies under black officers, and generally control their own destinies. Several of the Mose men even had wives in the nearby Indian villages. A separate, armed settlement of free blacks, which enjoyed the full support of the adjacent Spanish residents, had been established just outside St. Augustine, the two communities being joined in a mutually beneficial alliance based primarily upon their joint opposition to British expansionism. It seems probable that the early Seminoles would have been aware of these developments and that their initial perceptions helped determine the course of their own relations with blacks...

  • The Legal Profession's Failure to Discipline
    THE LEGAL PROFESSION’S FAILURE TO DISCIPLINE UNETHICAL PROSECUTORS Angela J. Davis* I. INTRODUCTION White students at Jena High School in Jena, Louisiana, hung nooses from a tree at the high school, provoking a series of fights between groups of black and white students. Punches were thrown on both sides, and both black and white students were injured. However, the prosecutor, Reed Walters, charged one white student with a misdemeanor while charging six black students with serious felonies in adult court. In Douglasville, Georgia, a seventeen-year-old boy named Genarlow Wilson had consensual oral sex with a fifteen-year-old girl. The prosecutor charged him with aggravated child molestation and other sex offenses. Oral sex with a person under fifteen years old is aggravated child molestation in the state of Georgia, and consent is no defense. Wilson was acquitted of all charges except the child molestation offense, which at the time carried a mandatory sentence of ten years in prison. A judge later found that Wilson’s sentence constituted cruel and unusual punishment and ordered him released. But the prosecutor appealed the judge’s decision, and Wilson remained in prison for over two years until the Georgia Supreme Court ordered his release on October 26, 2007.1 Delma Banks was charged with capital murder in the state of Texas. The prosecutor in his case withheld exculpatory evidence and repeatedly coached the main witness on what his testimony should be. The prosecutor even threatened to prosecute this witness if he did not conform his testimony to the prosecutor’s version of the case.

Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Professor Jan Johnson Yopp, adviser Professor Barbara Friedman, reader Professor Stephen Birdsall, reader ©2008 Kelly Rae Chi ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT KELLY R. CHI: The Motivations and Challenges of Living Simply in a Consuming Society (Under the direction of Jan Yopp, Barbara Friedman and Stephen Birdsall) Voluntary simplicity, a cultural movement that focuses on buying less and working less, blossomed in the mid-1990s as increasing numbers of Americans voiced dissatisfaction with excessive consumerism and working long hours. While the movement is not formalized today, many Americans do live simply, according to some of the simplicity literature. Practices range from buying only environmentally friendly products, following religious guidelines, or living in communal settings. Though the weakening U.S. economy makes simplicity an attractive or necessary way of life, the daily lives of simplifiers are underreported in the mainstream media. Since 2003, newspaper articles on simplicity have diminished, and existing articles lack context on the varied motivations and challenges of the simplicity movement and how some Americans live simply. This thesis and its series of articles aims to fill that gap by looking at simplicity research as well as the stories of local people in family and community settings.

Forensic Science: Scientific Evidence and Prosecutorial Misconduct in the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case Paul Giannelli* The need for pretrial discovery in criminal cases is critical. 1 An advisory note to the federal discovery rule states: "[l]t is difficult to test expert testimony at trial without advance notice and preparation." 2 A defendant's right to confrontation, effective assistance of counsel, and due process often turns on pretrial disclosure. This essay discusses a case that demonstrates this point. What came to be known as the "Duke Lacrosse Case" began with a student party and a false accusation of rape. 3 On March 14, 2006, Crystal Mangum claimed that she had been sexually assaulted at the party. As is common in rape cases, a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) used what is known as a "rape kit" to collect evidence.

  • Workshop 4. Simplicity YQ
    October 10th, 2020 Friends World Committee for Consultation Young Friends Worldwide for Climate Action, Peace, and Justice This was the fourth session of the Young Friends Worldwide for Climate Action, Peace, and Justice Online Workshop Series. This time, we explored simplicity, and how it has influenced young Quakers to act for a sustainable world. We had a chance to hear from two speakers; Clara from the FWCC sections of the Americas and Reza from Indonesia, in the Asia West Pacific Section of FWCC. We then split into zoom breakout rooms and had discussions reflecting on the words of our speakers, and asking how we feel the Quaker testimony of ‘simplicity’ informs our own lives. Firstly, we heard from Reza, a Friend in Indonesia. Reza talked about how the idea of fasting inspired him that living within our means is possible to save the planet and the future generations from the scourge of climate change. It is important not to take more than we need. We then heard from Clara. Clara expressed how her simple actions are motivated by policy and systems change. She has organised a petition against oil drilling and she has understood how important it is to use lobbying to influence policy change. She expressed that it is within the powers of everybody to lobby, but that not many people understand that they have that power. She learnt about her own power to lobby from her time with the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) in the US. Clara expressed her thoughts on how global consumerism influenced, by a capitalistic mindset, is the root cause of the current global climate crisis.
