It is presented at the summer luncheon, an event that over half of the membership attends, and a time when we eat and laugh together and hear an uplifting or informational talk.

  • Anchor Institutions
    Transforming Times News from the Offices of Community Health, Equity & Wellness and Diversity & Inclusion Fall 2019/Winter 2020 Anchor Institutions: The Lift is Heavy, Yet Our Team is Anchored Well By Kimberlydawn Wisdom, M.D., M.S., Senior Vice President of Community Health & Equity and Chief Wellness & Diversity Officer at Henry Ford Health System Part of Henry Ford Health System’s mission is to bring measurable benefit, in increasingly more collaborative ways, to the communities surrounding our programs and services in southeast Michigan. As we broaden, develop and advance that mission, we embrace our role as an anchor institution and claim our responsibility to collaborate to ensure that our communities are safer, healthier, and economically strong. The anchor approach prioritizes local economic development through place-based investing, local hiring and purchasing, and is designed to drive substantial economic progress in our community. This forward-thinking pathway creates an environment where the health system and the community can grow and thrive. A founding and active member of the Healthcare Anchor Network since its inaugural meeting in December 2016, Henry Ford is collaborating with and learning from other anchor institutions. We are redefining ourselves and our anchor role, and it’s not just happening here – it’s happening across the country. In addition, we recently established a committee at the System level, the CHAnCE Council – Community Health Anchor Council Enterprise-wide – to join our corporate and clinical operations. This work is especially evident in the area surrounding Henry Ford Hospital, in the Downtown, Midtown and New Center areas of Detroit. Two major expansion projects that serve as examples of the System’s financial investment are the Henry Ford Detroit Pistons Performance Center and the Brigitte Harris Cancer Pavilion.

  • Hitler's American Model
    Hitler’s American Model The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law James Q. Whitman Princeton University Press Princeton and Oxford 1 Introduction This jurisprudence would suit us perfectly, with a single exception. Over there they have in mind, practically speaking, only coloreds and half-coloreds, which includes mestizos and mulattoes; but the Jews, who are also of interest to us, are not reckoned among the coloreds. —Roland Freisler, June 5, 1934 On June 5, 1934, about a year and a half after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of the Reich, the leading lawyers of Nazi Germany gathered at a meeting to plan what would become the Nuremberg Laws, the notorious anti-Jewish legislation of the Nazi race regime. The meeting was chaired by Franz Gürtner, the Reich Minister of Justice, and attended by officials who in the coming years would play central roles in the persecution of Germany’s Jews. Among those present was Bernhard Lösener, one of the principal draftsmen of the Nuremberg Laws; and the terrifying Roland Freisler, later President of the Nazi People’s Court and a man whose name has endured as a byword for twentieth-century judicial savagery. The meeting was an important one, and a stenographer was present to record a verbatim transcript, to be preserved by the ever-diligent Nazi bureaucracy as a record of a crucial moment in the creation of the new race regime. That transcript reveals the startling fact that is my point of departure in this study: the meeting involved detailed and lengthy discussions of the law of the United States.

MP3s of stories can be found at voaspecialenglish.com Henry Ford, 1863-1947: He Revolutionized the Auto Industry AP Visitors at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan PEOPLE IN AMERICA -- a program in Special English on the Voice of America. Every week at this time, we tell the story of a person was important in the history of the United States. Today Steve Ember and Frank Oliver begin the story of industrialist Henry Ford. STEVE EMBER: Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile. But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until eighteen ninety-six. That was eleven years after two Germans -- Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz -- developed the first gasoline-powered automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the factory system that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many manufacturers used this system before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. Others made cars. Henry Ford made better cars. And he sold them for less money. Others built car factories. Henry Ford built the biggest factory of its time. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.
