  • Narrative Reform Dilemmas
    Narrative Reform Dilemmas Mariela Olivares* I. INTRODUCTION The way in which we tell our stories and describe our characters sets the foundation for how our audience perceives the story. Depending on the narra- tor’s choices, our protagonist may be a hero against the wrongs of an unjust authoritarian system – or a terrorist working against a legitimate government. Nelson Mandela, even as a former President of South Africa, was on a U.S. government terror watch list until as late as 2008 and could not enter the coun- try without a dispensation of U.S. immigration policies.1 The U.S. government prohibited his entry as a communist sympathizer who fought against the once- recognized South African leadership.2 Only with the wisdom of time and po- litical awakening did the world fully recognize that Mandela fought for free- dom against the apartheid regime and that his resistance against the govern- ment was just. Prior to this realization, however, Mandela was characterized in many popular media outlets of the time as a communist and terrorist leader of the revolutionary African National Congress (“ANC”) South African party.3 Though the passage of time may influence narrative choices, changes in rhetoric can have concomitant influence on political movements. For example, *Associate Professor of Law, Howard University School of Law; LL.M., Georgetown University Law Center; J.D., University of Michigan Law School; B.A., University of Texas at Austin.

  • 2017 AETC Community Support Award Altus Trophy
    2017 AETC Community Support Award Altus Trophy Celebrating over 75 Years of Teamwork Enid High School hosted military appreciation night during a football game between the Enid Plainsmen and Stillwater High School. Colonel Lee G. Gentile, Jr. had the honors for coin toss ceremony before Enid high school football game. Col. Gentile used his “challenge coin” during the “Friday Night Lights” community event. Table of Contents 1. Executive Summary 2. Letters of Endorsement 3. Community Description 4. Military Affairs/Armed Services 5. Supporting supplementary materials Page intentionally left blank Executive Summary The relationship between Enid, Oklahoma and Vance Air Force Base is one that is unrivaled by any other. The bond between the base and city has only strengthened through the years and stands now as a benchmark of support to our nation’s men and women for other communities to follow. It is through the unending selflessness exhibited by the citizens of Enid that Vance AFB is able to succeed in its mission of developing professional Airmen, delivering world-class pilots and deploying combat ready warriors. Beginning in the early days of World War II when US Army sentries were charged with securing the new base with empty rifles, it was the Enid Police Department that loaned them bullets until supplies arrived. The faithful support continued through the wars of Korea, Vietnam, the Global War on Terror and every other conflict of the 21st century. As an overwhelming show of support, in 1995 nearly 12,000 Enid citizens gathered outside the base to show their appreciation and dedication to the role it plays in our community.

  • The Centennial History of Litchfield, Illinois
    The CENTENNIAL HISTOEY of yTBJMIU:, HUMUS „ lit HMMSB fSBBS a a a THE Centennial History of Litchfield is presented proudly as a record of people founding a community and finding that in their dependence upon one another for their livelihood and happiness, the spirit of a small mid-American city came into be- ing and grew with the years. In the first century of the Christian era, Tacitus (perhaps the greatest of Roman historians) wrote that the object of history is to "rescue virtuous acts from the oblivion to which the want of records would consign them." So it has become one of the prime objects of observing Litch- field's Centennial, to recall in words and in pictures some of the things that have transpired within the span of one hundred years, that have made Litchfield what it is today . the sum- mer of 1953. This Centennial Book is not, nor could it be made, the com- plete story of Litchfield. But it is representative, and its com- pilers sincerely hope that the devoted efforts that have gone into its preparation, by many individuals and organizations of Litchfield, have succeeded in reviving many "nostalgic days of Yesterday." We, ourselves in this year of 1953, are Tomorrow's past. As those who have lived before us, we would not be forgotten. We might even wish to be remembered as more heroic and better than we are. We join memory with hope that the new century into which Litchfield is entering may fulfill the aspirations of the founding pioneers and all who have followed in their train during our community's first one hundred years.
