At the fountain in the park: a hot day in Chicago 276 xi PROLOGUE From Russia to America; from the most backward to the most forward country in the world; from the place where machinery is merely imported or applied, to the place where it is invented; from the land of Tolstoy to the land of Edison; from the most mystical to the most material; from the religion of suffering to the religion of philanthropy. Russia and America are the Eastern and Western poles of thought. Russia is evolving as the greatest artistic philosophical and mystical nation of the world, and Moscow may be said already to be the literary capital of Europe. America is showing itself as the site of the New Jerusalem, the place where a nation is really in earnest in its attempt to realise the great dream of human progress. Russia is the living East; America is the living West—as India is the dead East and Britain is the dying West. Siberia will no doubt be the West of the future. For one who knows Russia well America is full of a great revelation. The contrast in national spirit is so sharp that each helps you to see the other more clearly. The American people are now on the threshold xii of a great progressive era; they feel themselves within sight of the realisation of many of their ideals. They have been hampered badly by the trusts and the “bosses” and the corrupt police, but they are now proving that these obstacles are merely temporary anomalies, caused by the overwhelmingly sudden growth of population and prosperity. A few years ago it could with truth be said that material With poor immigrants to America. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.15813 Library of Congress conditions were worse in the United States than in the Old World. But it has been clear all the time that the corruption existent in the country was truly foreign to the country's temper. The common citizen is becoming the watchdog of the police-service. Tammany has fallen. Women are getting the suffrage, state by state. The nation is unanimous in its cry for a pure state, a clean country, and an uncorrupted people. All diseases are to be healed. Couples who wish to be married must produce health-certificates. The mentally deficient and hereditary criminals are to be segregated. Blue-books, or rather what the Americans call White-books, are going to form the Bible of a new nation. The day is going to be rationally divided into eight hours' work, eight hours' pleasure, eight hours' sleep —or rather, eight hours' looking at machinery, eight hours' pleasure, eight hours' sleep, for machinery is going to accomplish all the ugly toil. Everybody is to be well dressed, well housed, comfortable. America is raging xiii against drink, against the exploitation of immigrants, against the fate of the white slave, against any one who has done anything immoral. It will nationally expel a Russian genius like Gorky. It makes great difficulty of admitting to its shores any one who has ever been in prison. It is so in earnest about the future of America that it has set up what is almost an insult to Europe—the examination of Ellis Island. Any one who has gone through the ordeal of the poor emigrant, as I did, going into America with a party of poor Russians in the steerage, and has been medically examined and clerically cross-questioned about his life and ethics, knows that America is a materialist and progressive country, and that she is no longer a harbour of refuge for the weak, but a place where a nation is determined to have health and strength and prosperity. Now in Russia, when you arrive there, you find no such tyranny as that of Ellis Island awaiting you. You have come to the land of charity. If there is any question it is of whether you are a Russian Jew wanting to be recognised as an American citizen. Their charity does not extend to the Jews. But disease does not stand in your way, neither does crime; ethics are not inquired into; Mylius or Mrs. Pankhurst or Miss Marie Lloyd receive their passports without a frown. You have come to the nation to whom are precious the sick, With poor immigrants to America. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.15813 Library of Congress the mentally deficient, xiv the criminal, the waste-ends of humanity, the poor woman on the streets, the drunkard. Her greatest novelist, Dostoievsky, was an epileptic; her national poet, Nekrasof, was a drunkard; Vrubel, one of her greatest painters, was an imbecile; Chekhof, her great tale-writer, was a hopeless consumptive. She is not opposed to the good and the sound, but the suffering are dearer to her, more comprehensible. She loves the drunkard, and says “Yes, you are right to be drunk; you are probably a good man. It is what you are likely to be in this world of enigmas.” She loves the white slave, but does not wish to shut her in a home for such. The Russians, so far from segregating the diseased and the fallen, frequently fall in love with them and marry them.

  • America to Me" Deserves Your Attention
    DECEMBER 2018 In a Time of Too Much TV, "America to Me" Deserves Your Attention If you've never heard of "America to Me," join the club. The ten-part documentary series debuted on Starz in August, attracted rapturous reviews (according to Metacritic, it was the best reviewed new show in all of 2018), but the ratings were abysmal. The series attracted only 259,000 viewers over its first seven days of release. (A recent edition of "60 Minutes," in contrast, drew slightly more than seven million viewers, and that was for a rerun.) I stumbled across it while scrolling through TV shows in the iTunes store. I was intrigued by the description - "a year-long immersion into one of Chicago's most progressive and diverse public schools" - and I was sold by the driving force behind it: Steve James, director of the Oscar-nominated documentary, "Hoop Dreams." Having watched all ten hours - and some episodes twice - I fully understand why James Poniewozik, television reviewer for The New York Times, selected it as one of the ten best shows of 2018. "America to Me" is not just for those who care about kids, public education, or the state of race relations in this country. It is a master class in storytelling, well worth the time of anyone who recognizes the power of story to illuminate issues in ways that numbers alone never can. Full Story.

  • Harlem Renaissance Unit Resource Handbook for Middle School
    Poetry Unit Middle School Harlem Renaissance Unit Written by: Deborah Dennard ELA Coordinator 6-12 Bibb County School District Unit Focus and Direction This unit of study focuses on the Harlem Renaissance. Students are to be immersed in the literature, art, dance, and music of this period. The short stories and literature is meant to be used for the literary standards. The essays and speeches are meant to be taught, using the reading informational standards. Students are to demonstrate mastery of the standards by writing poetry or analysis of the works. Speaking and listening is also an intricate part of this using. While it is important to include poetry in every unit of study, at times, it can be fun to focus solely on poetry. During this unit (2-4 weeks), students are immersed in poetry. They speak, listen to, write, and read poetry – individually and in groups. This sample unit framework can be used for middle and high school. Links are embedded at the end of each piece of reading. To build engagement, please play the videos beforehand to build schema and background knowledge. Poetry is meant to be read, heard, and enjoyed, rather than “studied.” Throughout the unit, read poems aloud daily and encourage students to read aloud poems of their choice. Ask students to respond to the words they hear and read in poems, and to picture the images that the words create. Students may say, “I don’t get it,” and say that they do not like poetry because they are fearful that they do not understand the “correct meaning.” For some of us as teachers, we share the same fear.

HESISfc tc o:> COL g REEL WARS: COLD WAR, CIVIL RIGHTS AND HOLLYWOOD'S CHANGING INTERPRETATION OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR 1945-75 J. Roy Collins A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Greenwich for the degree of Master of Philosophy March 2006 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisors, Andrew Dawson, for his patient encouragement and for gently keeping me focused, and Michael Zell, for his very pertinent comments, also the library staff at Greenwich who have always been most helpful. My thanks, too, to my son Dan and my friends May Clarke and Jim Murray for struggling through a rather large first draft and Alan Rose for his help in obtaining many of the films on video. Also, my sister Tessa, for her proof reading, and Jacob Veale for his computer expertise. Finally, my partner Sarah for her continual encouragement and support and my daughters Hannah and Esther, who accepted that 'Dad was doing his thing.' in ABSTRACT This study is an examination of America's evolving sense of racial and national identity in the period from 1945 to the mid 1970s as refracted through Hollywood's representation of the American Civil War - a powerful event in American memory which still resonates today. Civil War films have been the subject of study by film studies specialists and historians but they have concentrated on the early years highlighting the iconic films The Birth of a Nation (1915) and Gone with the Wind (1939).

  • Executive Director Position Guide
    EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR POSITION GUIDE Fundraising Counsel | Executive Search JULY 2021 Page 2 KARTEMQUIN FILMS Kartemquin Films supports independent filmmakers and aspiring change agents in developing documentary content that conveys compelling stories of our shared humanity and advances the communal understandings needed for a more just society. Founded 55 years ago as a group of working filmmakers concentrated in the Midwest, Kartemquin has evolved amidst a rapidly changing media landscape to provide resources and support to those that have a story to tell. As an organization, we recognize the barriers that exist within and beyond the world of film that have historically limited who is able to tell their story and shape narratives in media—and we are committed to supplying the capital, resources, and networks necessary to shift that paradigm. Kartemquin Film’s repertoire includes documentaries that have redefined the social issues they explore, and the medium itself. Acclaimed films have garnered Emmy, Peabody, and Independent Spirit Awards and include Unapologetic, Cooked: Survival by Zip Code, The Interrupters, The Homestretch, Finding Yingying and the Oscar-nominated Hoop Dreams, Minding the Gap, Edith and Eddie, and Abacus: Small Enough to Jail. In addition to our feature-length documentary work, Kartemquin has done several documentary series including The New Americans (PBS - Independent Lens), Hard Earned (Al Jazeera) and America to Me (Starz). We hope to build upon our past successes through elevating a diverse set of voices and continuing to convey stories with unflinching honesty. A pioneer of the vérité form and longstanding tradition of community-based storytelling, Kartemquin values the crucial role of authentic, truthful, artistic nonfiction film in a healthy democracy.
