His vibraphone sound, along with the Fender Rhodes electric piano, is the slgnifier of the jazz-funk movement, As a sideman to Herbie l\/lann, Ayers performed on the trailblazing Memphis lJndergraund LP, then broke away a year or two later to form ubiquily. A revolving-door ensemble whose impact has yet to be fully assessed, the band unleashed an astonishing 2O albums on Polydor during a twelve-year period' Ayers and Ubiquity had a big following in their day. but it seems that my hip-hop peers have developed an even stronger appreciation for them. No self-respecting DJ can be without virtually all oJ their records, and cuts like "Everybody Loves the Sunshine," "Running Away' and "We Live in Brooklyn, Baby" are trans-generational anthems. Especially inspiring to a new school of artists, though, is the breakbeat perennial "The Boogie Back."

  • Disability Housing Rights and Building Codes in New York
    DISABILITY HOUSING RIGHTS AND BUILDING CODES OF NEW YORK by The Committee on Legal Issues Affecting People with Disabilities* A. INTRODUCTION People with disabilities are protected against housing discrimination on the basis of mental or physical disability by a series of federal, state, and local human rights and civil rights laws. These laws include Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act,1 the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),2 the Fair Housing Act (FHA),3 the New York State Human Rights Law (NYSHRL),4 and the New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL).5 Not only are people with disabilities protected from discrimination, they are also entitled to certain accommodations so that they can use and enjoy their homes. These various human and civil rights laws have corollary building standards, which are enumerated in the various sections below. There are essential distinctions between the two, as well as amongst the federal, state and city human rights laws with regard to definition of disability, remedies, geographic scope, procedures and who has standing to enforce them which the practitioner and claimant must pay close attention to. Because so many different laws protect the housing rights of people with disabilities, an individual who believes his or her rights have been violated must look at the various provisions of the different laws and determine which laws apply and what protections are available. For example, an individual with a disability who rents an apartment from a private landlord6 in New York City and requests that a ramp be built at the entrance is covered by the FHA, NYSHRL and the NYCHRL.

  • Blackness”: “Post-Black” and Contemporary Hip-Hop in Visual Culture
    Transforming “Blackness”: “Post-Black” and Contemporary Hip-Hop in Visual Culture A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts April J. Sunami August 2008 2 This thesis titled Transforming “Blackness”: “Post-Black” and Contemporary Hip-Hop in Visual Culture by APRIL J. SUNAMI has been approved for the School of Art and the College of Fine Arts by Jeanette Klein Chair, Art History and Scholarship Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 Abstract SUNAMI, APRIL J., M.A., August 2008, Art History Transforming “Blackness”: “Post-Black” and Contemporary Hip-Hop in Visual Culture (90 pp.) Director of Thesis: Jeanette Klein The global phenomenon of hip-hop emerged as a small scale community oriented culture developed primarily by African-American youth in the blighted ghetto of the South Bronx. Within the larger American culture, the primary associations of hip-hop are rooted in conceptions of black culture and identity, which may also be defined as “blackness.” Despite hip-hop’s synonymous relationship to “blackness,” mainstream American culture and almost every nation on earth have appropriated its visual and aural codes. Interestingly, the adoption of hip-hop culture out of its original context lends to new conceptions of “blackness,” that ultimately complicate the centrality of racial significance. In a similar manner, the term “post-black” has been used within visual arts to describe the work of black artists who problematize past conceptions of “blackness.” The main goal of this thesis is to argue that the transformation of “blackness” in hip-hop is directly applicable to the idea of “post-black.” Approved: _____________________________________________________________ Jeanette Klein Chair, Art History and Scholarship 4 Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor Jennie Klein and to my committee members Marion Lee and Marina Peterson for their patience and guidance through this project.
