  • The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children's Picturebooks
    Strides Toward Equality: The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children’s Picturebooks Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rebekah May Bruce, M.A. Graduate Program in Education: Teaching and Learning The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Michelle Ann Abate, Advisor Patricia Enciso Ruth Lowery Alia Dietsch Copyright by Rebekah May Bruce 2018 Abstract This dissertation examines nine narrative non-fiction picturebooks about Black American female athletes. Contextualized within the history of children’s literature and American sport as inequitable institutions, this project highlights texts that provide insights into the past and present dominant cultural perceptions of Black female athletes. I begin by discussing an eighteen-month ethnographic study conducted with racially minoritized middle school girls where participants analyzed picturebooks about Black female athletes. This chapter recognizes Black girls as readers and intellectuals, as well as highlights how this project serves as an example of a white scholar conducting crossover scholarship. Throughout the remaining chapters, I rely on cultural studies, critical race theory, visual theory, Black feminist theory, and Marxist theory to provide critical textual and visual analysis of the focal picturebooks. Applying these methodologies, I analyze the authors and illustrators’ representations of gender, race, and class. Chapter Two discusses the ways in which the portrayals of track star Wilma Rudolph in Wilma Unlimited and The Quickest Kid in Clarksville demonstrate shifting cultural understandings of Black female athletes. Chapter Three argues that Nothing but Trouble and Playing to Win draw on stereotypes of Black Americans as “deviant” in order to construe tennis player Althea Gibson as a “wild child.” Chapter Four discusses the role of family support in the representations of Alice Coachman in Queen of the Track and Touch the Sky.

Leadership Letter I brought photographs of two children with me when I arrived at UNICEF USA’s New York office recently for my first day at work. As the new president and CEO, I have the high privilege to lead our efforts to save the lives of children around the world, protect their rights and help them thrive. The photographs — pictures I took a number of years ago — have hung in three different offices I’ve had over the last decade. One is of a girl from a rural village in Côte d’Ivoire where my team worked to rid the region of Guinea Worm. The other is a boy from a small town in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador where we ran a school health program. Both are close-up shots that reveal the striking faces and penetrating eyes of these two brave children. It is almost as if they are speaking to me directly, calling on me to redouble my efforts to serve others like them.

    Contact: Nicole DeMarco [email protected] 203-389-5223 CHICAGO - The American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA) is excited to announce that Laurie Hernandez, U.S. Olympic gymnastics gold and silver medalist and “Dancing with the Stars” champion, will be a keynote speaker at the 94th Annual Conference, taking place in Jacksonville, Florida from June 14 to 17. In addition, attendees that register before April 30 will be entered for a chance to win a special meet, greet and photo with the Olympic champion. As the premier event for dental hygienists to advance their career and learn from top educators and practitioners in the profession, the ADHA Annual Conference also features speakers that engage, inspire and advance personal and professional development. “Laurie embodies optimism and perseverance in the face of injury and adversity on a national level – her talent, personality and smile have captivated audiences everywhere, and we are thrilled that she will share her insights on how to achieve your dreams to our dental hygiene community,” said ADHA CEO Ann Battrell. A second generation American of Puerto Rican descent and the first U.S. born Latina to make the U.S. women's gymnastics Olympic team since 1984, Laurie is known for her dazzling floor exercise routine where she has been nicknamed the “human emoji” for her outgoing facial expressions and for her grace and artistry on the balance beam. The turning point in Laurie’s career happened in 2014 when her progress was stalled due to multiple injuries. She returned stronger than ever by becoming the 2015 U.S.

  • UNICEF USA 2020 ANNUAL REPORT YEAR AFTER YEAR, UNICEF Has Been Relentless in Shaping a World That Is Equitable for Every Child
    UNICEF USA 2020 ANNUAL REPORT YEAR AFTER YEAR, UNICEF has been relentless in shaping a world that is equitable for every child. In 1946, that meant helping rebuild a war-torn Europe. This past year, it meant reaching billions of people with critical information and health services to combat an unprecedented global pandemic. In the middle of the world’s toughest challenges, UNICEF is there — more than 15,000 strong in over 190 countries and territories — helping children realize their rights. And we won’t stop until every child not only survives, but thrives. CONTENTS PRESIDENT’S LETTER 5 UNICEF IN ACTION 6 FINANCIALS 27 SUPPORTERS 34 OFFICES AND EXECUTIVE STAFF 47 PRESIDENT’S LETTER Like so many, Nadia, the 7-year-old pictured on the facing page, is coping with the broader challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her primary school in Bandung, Indonesia, closed in March 2020 because of the pandemic. In-person learning resumed months later, but classes meet only every other day, and students must wear a mask, have their temperatures checked daily, and stay physically distanced. It’s not perfect, but for students like Nadia, it’s a huge improvement over no school at all. While COVID-19 has so far spared children the worst outcomes, it has nonetheless had a devastating impact on children worldwide. It has slashed family incomes, shuttered schools, stalled progress on children’s rights, and disrupted in-person nutrition and vaccination programs. The pandemic is threatening children’s education, health and survival — particularly for those already in need. Yet several things give me great hope for 2021.

As Mare bears the weight of Silent Stone in the palace, her once-ragtag band of newbloods and Reds continue organizing, training, and expanding. They prepare for war, no longer able to linger in the shadows. And Cal, the exiled prince with his own claim on Mare's heart, will stop at nothing to bring her back.
