HUNGER HURTS. WE CAN HELP. Feeding a Growing Need SM Everyone has a role in ending hunger in our community. 2010 Annual Report HUNGER HURTS. WE CAN HELP. FEEDING A GROWING NEED. Leadership Message Dear Friends, Our work during the 2010 fiscal year reached historic milestones towards ending hunger in our community. Working together, as dedicated partners, we can accomplish even more. With your help, we were able to distribute a record 34.4 million pounds of food, or 26.46 million meals. We did this in partnership with nearly 550 member food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters, along with 30 of our own direct distribution programs such as BackPack, Kids Cafes and Brown Bag for seniors. We guaranteed the nutritional value of the food, and expanded our reach into underserved areas of eastern Massachusetts. In addition, we expanded our programs that serve vulnerable populations of seniors and children. We did all of this despite a weak economy and stubbornly high unemployment, two factors that kept the need for emergency food assistance growing during the year. Our 2010 Hunger Study showed a 23 percent increase in the need for food over the past four years. Despite difficult fiscal times, we raised a record $8.6 million and increased the amount of nutritious food we purchased. We successfully advocated the state legislature to keep the food purchasing line for the Massachusetts Emergency Food Assistance Program level at $11.5 million. During the year we hosted U.S. Senator Paul Kirk, U.S. Senator Scott Brown, Governor Deval Patrick, Mayor Thomas Menino, Attorney General Martha Coakley, and House Speaker Robert DeLeo. We appreciate all the elected officials who work with us to make a positive difference in the battle against hunger. By the end of our 2010 fiscal year we were heading toward the completion of our Fighting Hunger, Feeding Hope capital campaign to build our 117,000 square-foot Yawkey Distribution Center. We installed one of the largest solar panel installations in the city of Boston on the roof, capping our goal of a truly green building. We could not have accomplished so much without you. As supporters and volunteers you give generously of your time, your money, your food, your professional talents, and most of all, your compassion. We thank all of you, and hope that you stay with us in the year ahead as we commit to providing more nutritious food to feed everyone in need across eastern Massachusetts at least one meal a day.

  • Harrold, Stanley C. “The Pearl Affair: the Washington Riot of 1848.”
    Washington History in the Classroom This article, © the Historical Society of Washington, D.C., is provided free of charge to educators, parents, and students engaged in remote learning activities. It has been chosen to complement the DC Public Schools curriculum during this time of sheltering at home in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Washington History magazine is an essential teaching tool,” says Bill Stevens, a D.C. public charter school teacher. “In the 19 years I’ve been teaching D.C. history to high school students, my scholars have used Washington History to investigate their neighborhoods, compete in National History Day, and write plays based on historical characters. They’ve grappled with concepts such as compensated emancipation, the 1919 riots, school integration, and the evolution of the built environment of Washington, D.C. I could not teach courses on Washington, D.C. Bill Stevens engages with his SEED Public Charter School history without Washington History.” students in the Historical Society’s Kiplinger Research Library, 2016. Washington History is the only scholarly journal devoted exclusively to the history of our nation’s capital. It succeeds the Records of the Columbia Historical Society, first published in 1897. Washington History is filled with scholarly articles, reviews, and a rich array of images and is written and edited by distinguished historians and journalists. Washington History authors explore D.C. from the earliest days of the city to 20 years ago, covering neighborhoods, heroes and she-roes, businesses, health, arts and culture, architecture, immigration, city planning, and compelling issues that unite us and divide us.

  • “A Dream Deferred”: the Southern Negro Youth Congress, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and the Politics of Historical Memory
    “A DREAM DEFERRED”: THE SOUTHERN NEGRO YOUTH CONGRESS, THE STUDENT NONVIOLENT COORDINATING COMMITTEE, AND THE POLITICS OF HISTORICAL MEMORY “WHAT HAPPENS TO A DREAM DEFERRED?” —LANGSTON HUGHES When the inimitable W. E. B. Du Bois stepped to the podium in Columbia, South Carolina’s Township Auditorium late that Saturday afternoon, October 20,1946, he proudly peered out over an enthusiastic crowd. A loud speaker carried his long-awaited message to those eager to hear him yet unable to get in; the overflow had gladly assembled on the lawn outside the auditorium. On the occasion of its Seventh Annual Southern Youth Legislature, the Southern Negro Youth Congress (SNYC) was delighted to be honoring Du Bois: “the senior statesman of the American Negro’s liberation struggle, the noble and peerless patriarch of our steady climb out of slavery’s darkness into the light of full freedom.”1 Before an audience of over 2,000, Du Bois spoke prophetically of a future black freedom movement coming out of the South led by the region’s black youth, a movement that he hoped would transform the South, the nation, indeed the world. “The future of American Negroes is in the South,” Du Bois proclaimed. “I trust then that an organization like yours is going to regard the South as the battle-ground of a great crusade…. This is the firing line not simply for the emancipation of the African Negro and the Negroes of the West Indies; for the emancipation of the colored races ….” Du Bois’ stirring message ignited applause from the audience, which took his message to heart.

  • Class of 1981 New Student Handbook
    ()tJ~ 0 ~ @ ~ - ....... ,,,...... ~ @ It could almost begin "once upon a time." The necessary ingredi ents are there--a dream, a castle, a sense of ever after. But the tale is not a fable; it is the amazing story of Brandeis University. For more than a century American Jews had nurtured a dream of creating a university which evoked their ancient heritage of scholarship and their gratitude to a nation which offered them haven and freedom . On October 11, 1948, the dream became a reality. Th e first Jewish-sponsored, nonsectarian university in the United States, named in memory of Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis , opened its doors on the campus of what had been Middlesex Un iversity . Startling in contrast t o the few buildings which originally dotted the 250-acre campus stood--perhaps as a portend to future greatness--a castle .. This imposing structure, designed after medieval architecture, had been part of Middlesex. Known as the Usen Castle, it is still a campus landmark, but is now surrounded by 70 buildings--some perhaps more impressive, but none so unique . Dr . Abram L. Sachar, historian and teacher , became Brandeis' first president and served in that capacity for twenty years at which time he became chancellor of the University. His recently published book, A Host At Last, chronicles the fantas tic growth of Brandeis--thanks to the steadfast commi t ment and magnificent generosity of the American J ewish community. Dr . Marver H. Bernstein, former dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princet on University, has been president since 1972.

  • Brawler by BPT Alumnus Walt Mcgough
    By Walt McGough Directed by M. Bevin O’Gara March 1 - 18 Boston PLAYWRIGHTS’ Theatre T i c kets: (866) 811-4111 or BostonPlaywrights.org A WELCOME FROM OUR ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Dear Friends: Welcome to the third production in our Season of New Plays—Brawler by BPT alumnus Walt McGough. We have produced Walt’s work before—perhaps you remember The Farm some years ago, a play about the world of espionage and a “spook” in crisis. Walt’s plays have been produced to resounding success here in Boston at Central Square Theatre and New Repertory Theatre, among others, and most notably in Chicago and currently in San Francisco where his play Non- Player Character just finished its run at the San Francisco Playhouse. Welcome back to the East Coast, Walt! We’re privileged to be working again with the gifted M. Bevin O’Gara, director of our productions of Melinda Lopez’s Gary and Leslie Harrell Dillen’s Two Wives in India. Bevin is the new Artistic Director of the Kitchen Theatre, our collaborating presenter, in Ithaca, New York, and we hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship between our two companies. We have similar visions, and we are putting our best feet forward in this “World Premiere” of Brawler. We can call Brawler a “rolling” World Premiere in that it will play here in Boston three weekends and then move to Ithaca for more rehearsals (and Walt’s revisions) where it will open again in an even newer incarnation. This is our gift to the playwright and to this important play.
