African American history has influenced virtually every facet of our country’s culture. While many are aware of prominent African American contributions to literature, sports, and the visual arts, many are less informed of other impor- tant contributions and innovations in fields like science and technology. African American literature is too valuable to be confined only to February, during Black History month. Librarians and educators should share African American literature with children and teens throughout the year with various lessons and discussions. Through a more constant exposure to African American history and experience, young people can begin to relate on a more personal level.

  • King Tut's Tomb REIGN of the BOY KING Though He Is Considered the Most Well- Known Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, Tutankhamen Was Only a Minor Figure in Egyptian History
    Curious Dragonfly Monthly Science Newsletter King Tut's Tomb REIGN OF THE BOY KING Though he is considered the most well- known pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Tutankhamen was only a minor figure in Egyptian history. His reign did not last long - only 8 or 9 years - and he did not accomplish much. Yet it is the discovery of his nearly-intact tomb in 1922 that catapulted King Tut to fame. At the time of Tutankhamen's birth, circa 1341 B.C.E., ancient Egypt was going through a massive political upheaval. Tut's father, Akhenaten (also known as Amenhotep IV) may have forbidden the practice of 'polytheism,' or the worship of many gods. Instead, he pushed for the worship of a singular god, the sun disk Aten. It is claimed this attempt to convert society to 'monotheism' threw Egyptian culture into chaos. The capital was moved from Thebes to Armana, and Amenhotep IV's regime became corrupt. After 17 years as ruler, Amenhotep IV was most likely forced to abdicate his throne, which was then passed to his 9-year old son, Tutankhamen. This was some time around 1332 B.C.E. What do you imagine a society ruled by a 9-year old would be like? The same year he took power, King Tut also wed his half-sister, Ankh- esenamum. Because of his young age, Tutankhamen was most likely advised during the early years of his reign by a man named Ay, who acted in a role known as a Vizier, or by his mother, Queen Nefertiti. A small portion of the collection from Tut's tomb.

  • Brand/Rebrand: Spike
    Brand/Rebrand: Spike 04.02.2015 It's happening: The unofficial network for guys is turning into Spike, a general entertainment network for "The Ones to Watch." Even though Spike flipped the switch on its network rebrand rather suddenly at this year's upfront presentation, its overall brand transition has been in the works for almost two years now. At its March 3 upfront, Spike TV dropped the "TV," introduced a new logo and tagline, and dedicated itself even moreso to original programming that men and women could equally enjoy. Welcome to the new #Spike: http://t.co/hQ6o39XXFI pic.twitter.com/KwgPl3APZ6 - SPIKE (@spike) March 3, 2015 Back when Spike TV launched in 2003, the young, male-skewed network targeted an underserved audience who was leaving television in favor of video games, according to Spike's SVP of marketing and brand creative, Terry Minogue. So for its first decade or so, Spike was a place where those demographics could find programming that related to them. "Spike was sort of the loud guy in the bar," said Minogue, who says that while its branding served its purpose in its time, it became "a bit too exclusive for men. It had a place at the time with really high brand awareness, but that male audience has shifted." Now, 12 years later, the network has found that what once was the place to "Get More Action" needed a turnaround. "You look at the old spike branding and it feels right for that audience," said Minogue, "but as we evolved, we definitely needed a new look." So Spike began emphasizing programming to its lineup that encouraged co-viewing, according to Minogue, such as Bar Rescue and Ink Master, and the channel saw a huge uptick in female viewers.

  • Photography, Archaeology, and Collective Effort at the Tomb of Tutankhamun
    Shouldering the past: Photography, archaeology, and collective effort at the tomb of Tutankhamun Christina Riggs University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK Corresponding author: Christina Riggs, Art History and World Art Studies, Sainsbury Centre 0.28, University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, UK. Email: [email protected] Abstract Photographing archaeological labor was routine on Egyptian and other Middle Eastern sites during the colonial period and interwar years. Yet why and how such photographs were taken is rarely discussed in literature concerned with the history of archaeology, which tends to take photography as given if it considers it at all. This paper uses photographs from the first two seasons of work at the tomb of Tutankhamun (1922-4) to show that photography contributed to discursive strategies that positioned archaeology as a scientific practice – both in the public presentation of well-known sites and in the self-presentation of archaeologists to themselves and each other. Since the subjects of such photographs are often indigenous laborers working together or with foreign excavators, I argue that the representation of fieldwork through photography allows us to theorize colonial archaeology as a collective activity, albeit one inherently based on asymmetrical power relationships. Through photographs, we can access the affective and embodied experiences that collective effort in a colonial context involved, bringing into question standard narratives of the history and epistemology of archaeology. Keywords Archaeological labour, Egyptian archaeology, history of archaeology, history of photography, Tutankhamun 1 The tomb of Tutankhamun is an archaeological discovery more commonly associated with the glint of gold than the gleam of perspiration.
