SHORT SYNOPSIS IN THE SAME BREATH, directed by Nanfu Wang (“One Child Nation”), recounts the origin and spread of the novel coronavirus from the earliest days of the outbreak in Wuhan to its rampage across the United States. In a deeply personal approach, Wang, who was born in China and now lives in the United States, explores the parallel campaigns of misinformation waged by leadership and the devastating impact on citizens of both countries. Emotional first-hand accounts and startling, on-the-ground footage weave a revelatory picture of cover-ups and misinformation while also highlighting the strength and resilience of the healthcare workers, activists and family members who risked everything to communicate the truth. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT I spent a lot of my childhood in hospitals taking care of my father, who had rheumatic heart disease.

Half A Memory: The Vietnam War In The American Mind, 1975 - 1985 Mark W. Jackley Submitted for the Degree of Master of Arts in History University of Richmond, 1989 Dr. Barry Westin, Thesis Director This study attempts to show how Americans in general remembered the Vietnam War from 1975 to 1985, the decade after it ended. A kind of social history, the study concentrates on the war as remembered in the popular realm, examining novels as well as nonfiction, poetry, plays, movies, articles in political journals, songs, memorials, public opinion polls and more. Most everything but academic history is discussed. The study notes how the war's political historY. was not much remembered; the warrior, not the war, became the focus of national memory. The study argues that personal memory predominated over political memory for a number of reasons, the most important being the relative unimportance of the nation of Vietnam to most Americans.

  • Civil Rights Movement
    Civil Rights Movement From the beginning, race has been at the heart of the deepest divisions in the United States and the greatest challenges to its democratic vision. Africans were brought to the continent in slavery, American Indian nations were subjected to genocidal wars of conquest, northwestern Mexico was invaded and annexed, Asians were imported as laborers then subjected to exclusionary laws. Black historian W.E.B. DuBois wrote that the history of the 20th Century would be the history of the color line, predicting that anti- colonial movements in Africa and Asia would parallel movements for full civil and political rights for people of color in the United States. During the 1920s and 1930s social scientists worked to replace the predominant biological paradigm of European racial superiority (common in Social Darwinism and eugenics) with the notion of ethnicity -- which suggested that racial minorities could follow the path of white European immigrant groups, assimilating into the American mainstream. Gunnar Myrdal's massive study An American Dilemma in 1944 made the case that the American creed of democracy, equality and justice must be extended to include blacks. Nathan Glazer and Daniel Moynihan argued in Beyond the Melting Pot in 1963 for a variation of assimilation based on cultural pluralism, in which various racial and ethnic groups retained some dimension of distinct identity. Following the civil rights movement's victories, neoconservatives began to argue in the 1970s that equal opportunity for individuals should not be interpreted as group rights to be achieved through affirmative action in the sense of preferences or quotas.

  • 2013 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities
    EXPLORING THE HUMAN ENDEAVOR NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES 2ANNUAL01 REP3ORT CHAIRMAN’S LETTER December 2014 Dear Mr. President, It is my privilege to present the 2013 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities. For forty-eight years NEH has striven through its rigorous grantmaking process to support excellence in humanities research, education, preservation, access to humanities collections, long-term planning for educational and cultural institutions, and humanities programming for the public. NEH’s 1965 founding legislation states that “democracy demands wisdom and vision in its citizens.” It is in response to this mission that NEH supports work in the humanities that enlightens and deepens our understanding of the world. In September 2013, NEH launched its Created Equal initiative centered on a collection of four NEH-funded films—The Abolitionists, Slavery by Another Name, The Loving Story, and Freedom Riders— that trace the long history of civil rights in our nation. From the beginning, African Americans have been at the core of America’s evolving story about the changing meaning of freedom. Through free access to the films, website resources, and public discussion programs held in more than four hundred communities across the nation over the next three years, Created Equal will help make this aspect of our history accessible to everyone. At NEH, we also believe that access to the classics should be for everyone, in particular to America’s military veterans who are returning home from conflicts abroad. A 2013 grant to Aquila Theatre is helping to bring a series of scholar-led discussions and performances of classical Greek and Roman dramas to military veterans across the country.

  • The Danger and Necessity of Purity in White and African-American Mennonite Ra
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY ‘A Pure Fellowship’: The Danger and Necessity of Purity in White and African-American Mennonite Racial Exchange, 1935-1971 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of History and Religion By Tobin Miller Shearer EVANSTON, ILLINOIS June 2008 2 © Copyright by Tobin Miller Shearer 2008 All Rights Reserved 3 ABSTRACT ‘A Pure Fellowship’: The Danger and Necessity of Purity in White and African-American Mennonite Racial Exchange, 1935-1971 Tobin Miller Shearer “How did the Civil Rights Movement bring about change?” In answer to that question, this dissertation argues that the splintering of purity rhetoric within the intimate environments of home and sanctuary both inhibited and empowered white and African-American religious practitioners to seek social change. To make this argument, this project follows the purity- focused activity of white and African-American Mennonites through the long civil rights era. Building on the work of anthropologist Mary Douglas, this dissertation focus on Mennonites’ multiple expressions of purity – defined here as a cultural value that orders society by defining group boundaries – through racially focused clothing restrictions, marriage practices, interracial congregations, evangelism initiatives, and service programs. Based on oral histories, photographs, diaries, and denominational records, this work demonstrates how purity values changed over time. The record of this change reveals how religious actors shifted their attention from maintaining racially untainted blood in the 1930s, to bolstering homogeneous fellowships in the 1940s, to protecting female chastity in the 1950s, and then to managing a splintered religious rhetoric in the 1960s.
