  • Imagining Ishmael: Introducing American Islamicism
    Cambridge University Press 052161807X - The Cultural Roots of American Islamicism Timothy Marr Excerpt More information Imagining Ishmael: Introducing American Islamicism In April of 1997, a coalition of sixteen American Muslim organizations petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to have a larger-than-life representation of the Prophet Muhammad sandblasted off the north wall overlooking the nation’s central legal chamber. The Muslim groups took offense at the ivory marble statue that depicts a robed and bearded Muhammad with a curved sword in one hand and the Qur’an in the other. Part of the original Beaux- Arts architecture designed in the early 1930s by Adolph A. Weinman, the statue stands between Charlemagne and Justinian as one of eighteen great law givers of history. The presence of the frieze in such an official location, the Muslim leaders maintained, demonstrated insensitivity to Islamic prohi- bitions against displaying images of the Prophet, and the scimitar perpetuated stereotypes about Muslims as “intolerant conquerors.” Deeply committed to removing the statue, they offered to pay the expenses for an appropri- ate replacement. Chief Justice William Rehnquist, however, rejected their request. He claimed that the figure represented an honor rather than a form of idol worship and that the sword was a general symbol of justice. He also noted that any alterations in the frieze would not only destroy the artistic integrity of the whole, but also violate a 1949 statute against the removal of statues from the Court’s property. While he agreed with the literature handed out to visitors to the Bench that the “figure is a well-intentioned attempt by the sculptor to honor Muhammad,” he nonetheless also agreed with the Muslim protesters that “it bears no resemblance to Muhammad.”1 This ivory marble Muhammad and Rehnquist’s defense of it are but recent examples of the ways in which U.S.

  • Cupit Family
    A HISTORY OF THE CUPIT FAMILY By JOHN THOMAS CUPIT ROSEPINE, LOUISIANA 1954 THE RELIANCE PRESS DE RIDDER, LOUISIANA INTRODUCTION In this story of the Cupit Family I am giving here an ex­ planaition of how you may use it with more ease as to records you may want to check. I have arranged the genealogy by chapters, using a chap­ ter for each child of the original immigrant to America. The letters and numbers herein used are for the following purpose: The letters are for the generations, namely; A-1, first gen­ eration and first person in the generation. A-2, is second person discussed in first generation. B-1 would be the first person in the second generation, and so on. The descendants are not in chronolgical order in every case. Chapter I.

  • Blind Lemon Jefferson from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Blind Lemon Jefferson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Birth name Lemon Henry Jefferson Also known as Deacon L. J. Bates Born September 24, 1893[1] Coutchman, Texas, U.S. Origin Texas Died December 19, 1929 (aged 36) Chicago, Illinois, U.S. Genres Blues, gospel blues Occupation(s) Singer-songwriter, musician Instruments Guitar Years active 1900s–1929 Labels Paramount Records, Okeh Records Notable instruments Acoustic Guitar "Blind" Lemon Jefferson (born Lemon Henry Jefferson; September 24, 1893 – December 19, 1929) was an American blues and gospel blues singer and guitarist from Texas. He was one of the most popular blues singers of the 1920s, and has been called "Father of the Texas Blues". Jefferson's performances were distinctive as a result of his high-pitched voice and the originality on his guitar playing. Although his recordings sold well, he was not so influential on some younger blues singers of his generation, who could not imitate him as easily as they could other commercially successful artists. Later blues and rock and roll musicians, however, did attempt to imitate both his songs and his musical style. Biography Early life Jefferson was born blind, near Coutchman in Freestone County, near present-day Wortham, Texas. He was one of eight children born to sharecroppers Alex and Clarissa Jefferson. Disputes regarding his exact birth date derive from contradictory census records and draft registration records. By 1900, the family was farming southeast of Streetman, Texas, and Lemon Jefferson's birth date is indicated as September 1893 in the 1900 census. The 1910 census, taken in May before his birthday, further confirms his year of birth as 1893, and indicated the family was farming northwest of Wortham, near Lemon Jefferson's birthplace.

    ART FOR AIDS UNAIDS/07.14E / JC1312E (English original, June 2007) ISBN 978 92 9173 570 9 © Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) 2007. Contents Foreword 5 Overview 7 Art 9 UNAIDS headquarters 157 Partners 167 Foreword Dear friends: Art has always inspired me to think more deeply and question more carefully. In whatever form it takes—sculpture, painting, mixed media and more—art can express things in a way not possible with facts and fi gures, and this is especially true in the AIDS response. Art and AIDS have been inextricably linked throughout the epidemic’s quarter of a century history. Art has conveyed what words alone could not. I am especially pleased that we have been able to bring art and the AIDS response together in UNAIDS’ new headquarters. We are indebted to the artists and sponsors who have generously given their talent, time and resources to make Art for AIDS a reality. Twentieth century painter Mark Rothko said, “Art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can only be explored by those willing to take the risks.” On behalf of the UNAIDS staff and our partners, I hope the art shared in these pages inspires and challenges you as much as it has me. Dr Peter Piot Executive Director, UNAIDS ART for AIDS | art carte Overview The United Nations Joint Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) commemorated its 10th anniversary in 2006. In November 2006 UNAIDS moved into its new headquarters in Geneva, a building it shares with the World Health Organization.
