  • Rescuing American History from Revisionists and Race Hustlers
    American Enterprise Institute Web event — Rescuing American history from revisionists and race hustlers Welcome and introduction: Robert Doar, President, AEI Panel discussion Panelists: Stephanie Deutsch, Author Wilfred Reilly, Assistant Professor, Kentucky State University Robert L. Woodson Sr., President, Woodson Center Moderator: Ian Rowe, Resident Fellow, AEI Thursday, May 20, 2021 7:00–8:00 p.m. Event page: https://www.aei.org/events/rescuing-american-history-from- revisionists-and-race-hustlers/ Robert Doar: Good evening everyone. I’m Robert Doar, president of AEI, and I’m very pleased to welcome you to tonight’s event celebrating the release of a new book, “Red, White, and Black: Rescuing American History from Revisionists and Race Hustlers.” This volume, produced by the Woodson Center’s 1776 Unites campaign and edited by Robert Woodson, features essays that seek to offer a more complete picture of the African American experience by acknowledging struggles but also recognizing successes. The current narrative on race and American history in the popular media and in many of our schools tells a narrow story focused increasingly on oppression and discrimination. “Red, White, and Black,” tells a more complete story of black American history. And in so doing, it demonstrates the rich variety of perspectives and achievements in the black American community. These essays show that although there is a need to be honest about our nation’s shortcomings, progress has been built on courage, work, creativity, intelligence and on aspiration, faith, and hope. These are the same lessons that have underpinned 40 years of work at the Woodson Center in finding local solutions to poverty in low-income neighborhoods across the country.

  • N Order to Understand the Brutality of Merican Capitalism, You Have To
    6/30/2020 American Capitalism Is Brutal. You Can Trace That to the Plantation. - The New York Times THE 1619 PROJECT The 1619 Project examines the legacy of slavery in America. Read all the stories. https://nyti.ms/2OQYjYrn order to understand the brutality of merican capitalism, you have to start on the plantation. By MatthEw DEsmonD AUG. 14, 2019 A couplE of yEars before he was convicted of securities fraud, Martin Shkreli was the chief executive of a pharmaceutical company that acquired the rights to Daraprim, a lifesaving antiparasitic drug. Previously the drug cost $13.50 a pill, but in Shkreli’s hands, the price quickly increased by a factor of 56, to $750 a pill. At a health care conference, Shkreli told the audience that he should have raised the price even higher. “No one wants to say it, no one’s proud of it,” he explained. “But this is a capitalist society, a capitalist system and capitalist rules.” This is a capitalist society. It’s a fatalistic mantra that seems to get repeated to anyone who questions why America can’t be more fair or equal. But around the world, there are many types of capitalist societies, ranging from liberating to exploitative, protective to abusive, democratic to unregulated. When Americans declare that “we live in a capitalist society” — as a real estate mogul toldtoldtold T TThehehe Miami MiamiMiami H HHerereraldaldald last lastlast y yyearearear when explaining his feelings about small-business owners being evicted from their Little Haiti storefronts — what they’re often defending is our nation’s peculiarly brutal economy.

We are still reckoning with nationwide and global uprisings in response to the litany of incidents of anti-Black state-sanctioned violence and acts of vigilante violence/domestic terrorism, while simultaneously attempting to understand this moment, this movement, along the long arc of history. We are witnessing history and recognizing the importance of looking back in history to tease out more capacious understandings of the present moment and the future possibilities ahead of us. Over the past several months some of you may have read about, watched, and/or participated in the recent worldwide protests/uprisings; others may have decided to disengage from (or avoid) these images, videos, news reports, and protests/uprisings.

  • Biden Revokes Trump's 'Patriotic Education' Order, Will Shield DACA
    Biden Revokes Trump’s ‘Patriotic Education’ Order, Will Shield DACA By Andrew Ujifusa — January 20, 2021 Joe Biden departs a news conference after introducing his nominees and appointees to economic policy posts Dec. 1 in Wilmington, Del. Andrew Harnik/AP President Joe Biden moved to “preserve and fortify” executive action that shields certain undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as young children, said in an executive order that laws that prohibit sex discrimination also prohibit discrimination against gender identity, and in another executive order initiated a government-wide push to emphasize racial equity on his first day as president. Biden also revoked an executive order from outgoing President Donald Trump that created a commission to promote “patriotic education” in schools and elsewhere. That group, the 1776 Commission released a report Monday that lamented what it called the role of identity politics and the progressive movement in historical studies; it was criticized by many historians for how it treated slavery and other elements of American history. Biden took these and several other executive actions Wednesday, when he was inaugurated as the nation’s 46th president. For months, Biden has pledged to reverse Trump administration actions on a variety of fronts, including on hot-button education issues. Wednesday’s raft of executive orders accomplished that goal, and also demonstrated his administration’s early priorities. “These actions are bold, begin the work of following through on President-elect Biden’s promises to the American people, and, importantly, fall within the constitutional role for the president,” Biden’s transition team said in a statement Wednesday.

  • I Appreciate the Spirit of the Rule Change, and I Agree That We All
    From: Javed Abbas To: stevens, cheryl Subject: Comment On Proposed Rule Change - 250.2 Date: Saturday, March 27, 2021 8:42:43 PM Attachments: image002.png I appreciate the spirit of the rule change, and I agree that we all likely benefit by understanding the fundamental ways in which we are all connected, and that our society will either succeed or fail primarily based on our ability to cooperate with each other and treat each other fairly. However, I do not support the rule change because I do not think it will have the effect of making us more inclusive because of the ways humans tend to react when forced to do things. There will inevitably be push back from a group of people who do not support the spirit of the rule, that push back will probably be persuasive to people who don’t have strong feelings about the ideas one way or the other but will feel compelled to oppose the ideas because it will be portrayed as part of a political movement that they are inclined to oppose, and ultimately the Rule that is supposed to help us become more inclusive will actually help drive us further apart. I do think it’s a great idea to offer these CLEs and let them compete on equal footing in the marketplace of ideas. Rule Change: "Rule 250.2. CLE Requirements (1) CLE Credit Requirement.
