  • Spirit of Black Descendant Encouragement As Reflected in Black Gold Lyric by Esperanza Spalding
    Spirit of Black Descendant Encouragement as Reflected in Black Gold Lyric by Esperanza Spalding a Journal by Renanda Prima Tyasa [A2B009054] English Department Faculty of Humanities Diponegoro University 2013 CHAPTER 1 ± Introduction The slavery era of black people from the 17th until 20th century had inherited wounds toward the descendants of black people. After Civil War (1861-1865), slavery was abolished by the combination of /incoln‘s Emancipation 3roclamation and the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865. However, although the Blacks were no longer slaves, they were still treated as second class citizens and continued to live in poor conditions without many chances to make their life better. It would take a long time before their life would be improved. However today, people of black descendants in the United States are able to blend with society. Indeed, their presence is considered better these days. However, they factually are not totally free from discrimination. News is reporting about discriminations that are faced by black descendants nowadays. As for example is the killing plan that is conducted by white supremacist group Ku Klux Klan that put target into President Barack Obama. News canal thesun.co.uk published it on June 21st, 2013. It is said, Fanatics Glendon Scott Crawford, 49, and Eric Feight, 54, were nicked after a six- month FBI undercover operation. Mr Obama was among those said to have been targeted by the futuristic device that would have fired lethal doses of radiation. Engineer Crawford, a member of the white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan, told undercover agents his design was —Hiroshima on a light switch“.

  • Siamak Shirazi Babak Amini
    SIAMAK SHIRAZI BABAK AMINI NW TOUR - 2020 ARTISTS BaSiaNova is a musical collaboration between Babak Amini and Siamak Shirazi which started in Winter of 2017. Their unique perspectives about music and life is expressed in their upcoming album, coming out this Fall, and live performances. MUSIC They are combining more than 30 years of Babak’s experience as an award-winning performer, composer, arranger, and producer, and Siamak’s experience as a wellness guru and a vocalist. Their sound represents a fusion between Jazz, Flamenco, and contemporary Persian music and creates a rare, Avangard style of live performance. SIAMAK SHIRAZI Siamak has a natural talent for music which started manifesting as early as when he was two years old. He grew up in a family who loved and enjoyed music. He started reciting poetry and singing when he was six years old. Music has remained to be an anchor for his soul through the rough seas of his life, and he always found a way to return to this natural outlet for expression of his innermost feelings. Siamak used to be a professional singer in mid-1980s but set that aside to attend college and later, build a career in Wellness Based Medicine. However, in addition to growing his wellness enterprise, Siamak has always remained a music lover and a musician at heart. And now after taking a 25-year hiatus, he is returning back to music.He is privileged to collaborate with one of the best in the business, Mr. Babak Amini on his comeback project. Babak has been an essential part of Siamak’s vision for his return to singing, and his beautiful soul is ever-present as the energy which is traveling through Siamak’s voice.

  • World Cup Congress 2018: Soccer As a ―Microcosm‖ for Globalization
    World Cup Congress 2018: Soccer as a ―Microcosm‖ for Globalization Course Outline Jeffrey Nichols GRADE: 7th The Latin School of Chicago SUBJECT: WORLD CULTURES TIME REQUIRED: 20 blocks (50 minutes each) Background History: The sport of soccer—or ―football,‖ as it is commonly referred to throughout the rest of the world—is a prism by which we can understand the intersection of culture and history. Every four years when Americans encounter the World Cup, we are reminded that soccer is the most widely played team game in the world and the most popular spectator sport. Soccer was originally called ―association football.‖ (The name soccer is derived from the word assoc, an abbreviated form of the word association.) By the mid- 20th century, soccer was played an extraordinarily large amount on a global scale. One nation that long resisted soccer‘s spread was the United States, where a completely different form of ―football‖ evolved. Only in the 1970s did interest in soccer become widespread in the United States, ignited by the immense popularity of Brazilian star Pelé. The following excerpt from the video ―Soccer and the World Cup‖ (Bridging World History, Unit 25) provides an excellent historical context for understanding both Pelé and Brazil‘s unique position in the world of soccer: HOST: ALTHOUGH BRITAIN HELD NO TERRITORIES IN SOUTH AMERICA, BRITISH ENTERPRISES AND COMMERCE WERE EXTENSIVE. ENGLISH RAILWAY WORKERS BROUGHT SOCCER TO URUGUAY, ARGENTINA AND BRAZIL IN THE 1870S. OVER TIME, THE BRAZILIANS DEVELOPED A UNIQUE STYLE OF SOCCER THAT CONTRASTED STRONGLY WITH EUROPEAN TECHNIQUES. THEY AVOIDED FIXED POSITIONS, TEAM STRATEGIES AND LONG PASSES.
