  • 22Nd Annual Unsung Heroines Award Luncheon

    22Nd Annual Unsung Heroines Award Luncheon

    22nd Annual Unsung Heroines Award Luncheon The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc., Metropolitan Atlanta Chapter conceived the Unsung Heroine Awards Gala in 1997 as an opportunity to recognize African-American women. The awards are presented to women in our community who work tirelessly to empower their community in the vital areas of education, health, public policy, civic responsibility, business and entertainment. These women toil relentlessly without recognition. The women honored are nominated by their peers and voted on by an independent panel. Annually, the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc., Metropolitan Atlanta Chapter recognizes women who, through their desire to make a difference, perform selfless acts of kindness. We have honored some incredible women who have provided clothing for the homeless, operated programs to help educate children, mentored special needs children, triumphed as political activists to improve conditions in their neighborhoods and performed myriad of other thankless tasks to serve the communities in which they live. The women who are selected are honored at our Annual Unsung Heroines Awards Ceremony. Unsung Heroines is a major fundraiser for the Metropolitan Atlanta Chapter. Proceeds from the event will benefit the organization’s Economic Empowerment Program that provides transitional support services to women and children who need a helping hand as they move from dependency to self-sufficiency. ABOUT EMPOWERING WOMEN: SISTERS HELPING SISTERS The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. Metropolitan Atlanta Chapter (NCBW-MAC) is committed to empowering women in ways that lead to better health and economic opportunities. Through our work we know that women who are healthy and financially independent tend to be less vulnerable to abuse and exploitation in general.

  • “The Folly of Attacking Iran” Prepared Statement Before the Chicago City Council John J

    “The Folly of Attacking Iran” Prepared Statement Before the Chicago City Council John J

    “The Folly of Attacking Iran” Prepared Statement before the Chicago City Council John J. Mearsheimer May 13, 2008 There is growing evidence that the United States might launch a military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities. The main proponents of an attack are essentially the same individuals and groups who pushed for war against Iraq. They include hard-line supporters of Israel here in America and Israel itself, which is deeply committed to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. It would be a profound mistake, however, for the United States to start a war with Iran. I base this conclusion on four main arguments. First, striking Iran will not prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons. Instead, an American or Israeli attack will give Tehran even more reason to acquire a nuclear arsenal as quickly as possible. Nuclear weapons are the ultimate deterrent, because no state would attack the homeland of a nuclear-armed country for fear that the victim would retaliate. This simple logic explains why Israel and the United States have sizeable nuclear arsenals and why neither country has any intention of giving them up. Attack Iran and it will surely acquire nuclear weapons to make sure it never happens again. One might argue that striking Iran will eliminate its ability to go nuclear for many years to come. One might even see Israel’s destruction of Iraq’s Osiraq nuclear reactor in 1981 as an instructive precedent. But this line of argument is unconvincing. Iran would quickly reconstitute its nuclear program, and make it difficult, if not impossible, for the United States to find the new facilities and destroy them.

    Political Science 211 Professor Dick Simpson Fall Semester 2010 the FUTURE of CHICAGO

    Political Science 211 Professor Dick Simpson Fall Semester 2010 THE FUTURE OF CHICAGO This course is unlike others offered in the Political Science Department. Rather than focus only upon the analysis of existing political systems, the physical structure of Chicago, its past history as a city, or abstract political philosophies, we employ all these methods and more for the purpose of studying and reflecting upon the alternative futures of our city and metropolitan region. The course involves debate about different visions of our future with outside speakers with opposing views of Chicago speaking each week. I provide an overview in lectures each week. Discussion sessions allow you to test your own views and conclusions against those of your classmates. In the end you will develop a synthesis of diverse views and different perspectives on Chicago society, economics, government, and politics. The readings for the course bring together nearly one hundred authors from very different backgrounds writing on Chicago, other American cities and their future. You are, of course, not required to adopt the views from these different sources. But you are required to know various proponents’ arguments, the reasons they have for making them, the facts they present, and the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. The course is planned to be exciting, demanding, and controversial. It is meant to be an introduction to the study of politics in a very political city. Much of the course content is also delivered by “Blackboard” and links from there such as to many of the movies and some of the readings. You will be expected to read and master the following texts: Mike Royko, Boss James Laski, My Fall From Grace: City Hall to Prison Walls John Koval, et.
