  • Tracking Distributions from the 9/11 Relief Funds
    CONTRIBUTING STAFF Rick Schoff Senior Vice President for Information Resources and Publishing Steven Lawrence Director of Research Mirek Drozdzowski Special Projects Associate Mark Carway Programmer Aamir Cheema Editorial Assistant Janie Wong Project Assistant Bruce Thongsack Editorial Associate Cheryl Loe Director of Communications Christine Innamorato Production Coordinator, Publications ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report owes much to the 111 relief and recovery funds, listed on page 27, that responded to our survey of 9/11- related charities. Their involvement provided important insights into the process and challenges involved in the delivery of immediate disaster relief and long-term assistance. Special thanks are also due to the many 9/11 relief funds that submitted detailed information to the Foundation Center regarding their grants and beneficiaries as well as their plans for distributing unspent funds. PHILANTHROPY’S RESPONSE TO 9/11 PROJECT The Foundation Center is documenting private philanthropy’s response to the September 11 terrorist attacks. Using our experience in collecting and analyzing giving data, we are constructing a comprehensive picture of giving by foundations and corporations in the aftermath of 9/11, as well as tracking contributions by intermediaries and direct-service providers. We are also presenting news and in-depth interviews concerning the philanthropic response to 9/11 in the Foundation Center’s online journal, Philanthropy News Digest. Some of these have been reproduced in September 11: Perspectives from the Field of Philanthropy. To access all of the Foundation Center’s 9/11-related reports and other resources, visit www.fdncenter.org/research/911.

  • Official Press Statement the Virus of Voter Suppression Is Now The
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: LaToya Henry March 31, 2021 (313) 447-6404 OFFICIAL PRESS STATEMENT THE VIRUS OF VOTER SUPPRESSION IS NOW THE EPIDEMIC WITHIN OUR DEMOCRACY! Rev. Dr. Wendell Anthony, President, Detroit Branch NAACP DETROIT – Standing underneath the canvass of a notorious slave plantation in Wilkes County Georgia, Governor Brian Kemp and six white male Republicans signed into law a voter suppression bill. Among other things it makes it illegal to give food and water to Black people while standing in line to vote. The state of Florida under Governor Ron DeSantis is now considering the same law. It reminds one of the era when it was illegal to the point of death to give Black’s food, water, and shelter as they escaped from slavery to freedom. The symbolism of this historic trauma and continuous fallout from the antebellum period of enslavement to the 21st century of resentment could not be more clear. A Black female Georgia State Representative Park Cannon, who knocked on the door of the governor to observe the signing of this law, was handcuffed and arrested 50 seconds after her first knock. This act was in stark contrast to the hundreds of white insurrectionists who stormed the nation’s capital, knocking down doors, breaking windows, and injuring over 160 officers and security personnel. The insurrection led to the death of five people, among them police officer Brian D. Sicknick. They beat police officers with American flags and their poles while attempting to stop democracy from proceeding on course. It is in contrast to those who were involved in last year’s storming of the Michigan State capital with AK-47’s, AR-15’s, side arms, confederate flags, and hangman’s nooses.

  • American Revolutionary: the Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs a Film by Grace Lee Produced by Grace Lee, Caroline Libresco and Austin Wilkin
    POV Community Engagement & Education DISCUSSION GUIDE American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs A Film by Grace Lee Produced by Grace Lee, Caroline Libresco and Austin Wilkin www.pbs.org/pov LETTER FROM THE FILMMAKER I first met Grace Lee Boggs in 2000 while filming “The Grace Lee Project,” a documentary about the many women who share our common name and the model minority stereotype of Asian Americans. From the moment I met Boggs, I knew I would have to make a longer film just about her. Over the years, I would return to Detroit, hang out in her kitchen and living room and watch her hold in thrall everyone from journalists to renowned activists to high school students. I recognized the same thing in myself that I saw in all of them—eagerness to connect with someone who seemed to embody history itself. As someone who came of age in the era of identity politics, I would have found it hard to ignore the fascinating details of how this Chinese-American woman became a Black Power activist in Detroit. But Boggs would constantly use our interview sessions to turn the questions back on me. “What do you think about that? How do you feel about what's happening in Korea? Tell me more about your own story,” she would say as soon as the cameras turned off. My own identity is more wrapped up in Boggs’s story than she knows. And it’s not because we share the same name. Boggs’s presence—in Detroit, in the world and in my imagination—has helped transform my own thinking about how to tell a story about someone like her.
