    Middle East Notes Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns September 27, 2012 Find previous weeks’ Middle East Notes here. Please note: Opinions expressed in the following articles do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns. This week’s articles focus on the two-state/one-state debate; procrastination on a peace plan; the use of the Oslo Accords to promote apartheid; responses and reactions from Palestinian, Israeli, and U.S. American Jewish sources to the Romney video comments on the Palestinians; “warehousing;” a peace- less status quo; and other issues. September 21, 2012 Churches for Middle East Bulletin: This week’s Bulletin gives attention to the 1967 borders, the two-state solution, the peace plan, and other issues. In new video, Romney says Palestinians have no interest in peace with Israel: In Ha’aretz, Natasha Mozgovaya and the Associated Press write that U.S. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was caught on video telling donors that the Palestinians have no interest in peace with Israel, and that they are committed to its destruction and elimination. Palestinians condemn Romney for suggesting they aren’t interested in peace: Ha’aretz printed an article from the Associated Press and Reuters noting that Palestinians leaders have denounced Romney’s remarks. Americans for Peace Now (APN) calls on Romney to repudiate anti-Israel comments: APN decries Romney’s statements suggesting that peace is not possible and that therefore the U.S. should “kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen and resolve it.” “A message from Romnyahu”: In this recent column, Uri Averny notes that Romney stated that “the Palestinians” want to destroy Israel.

Page 1 of 4 The Hauenstein Center and GVSU Students Visit Springfield, IL March 16-18, 2007 Gleaves Whitney led members of his history class on U.S. presidents (HST 380) on a field trip to Springfield, IL, over St. Patrick's Day weekend, 2007, to learn more about Abraham Lincoln and the crises leading up to the Civil War. The first stop was at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum, which opened April 19, 2005, under Richard Norton Smith's direction. It is a state-of-the-art museum that packs a powerful emotional punch and makes history come alive. Abraham Lincoln, the nation's 16th president, arguably faced the greatest crises in American history: (1) the fracturing of the Union, (2) the outbreak of a civil war, and (3) the long-looming moral, political, economic, and social confrontation with slavery, which had reached a boiling point by 1861.

Mr. Lehrman was the recipient of ALA’s Logan Hay Medal, and a large video screen gave all in attendance the opportunity to see ALA Director (and newly elected 1st Vice President) Michael Burlingame present the Medal in Mr. Lehrman’s Connecticut office a few weeks earlier. Professor Burlingame read the accompanying citation, which said in part: “Few people in our time have done more to promote the study and appreciation of Abraham Lincoln than the venture capitalist, philanthropist, and author Lewis E.

A graduate of Yale University with an advanced degree in history from Harvard, he has published several books, among them Lincoln at Peoria: The Turning Point (a history of Lincoln’s anti-slavery Michael Burlingame shows Logan Hay Medal to video camera campaign from 1854 to 1865); Lincoln “by Littles” (a collection of before presenting it to Lewis E.

  • NMAH | Albert H. Small Documents Gallery: the Gettysburg Address
    Transcript NARRATOR: The most famous home in America has housed presidents and first families since its completion in 1800 when John and Abigail Adams moved in before the paint was even dry. Many have visited this place. Some have seen the inside on public tours. A few have attended an official gala with all its beauty and glitter. And even fewer get into the private quarters of the President and First Lady. On that second floor is the most famous of White House rooms, the Lincoln Bedroom. Lincoln never slept in this room. On the contrary this room bustled with cabinet members and generals as Lincoln used it as his office. And it was here in January, 1863, that Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Subsequent presidents continued to use the room as their office until 1902 when the West Wing was completed. But it would be decades later until Harry Truman had the idea of a bedroom dedicated to Lincoln. LAURA BUSH: When Truman re-did the house in the late 40s and 50s, he set up that room--the room we now call the Lincoln bedroom--to commemorate the fact that is was Lincoln's office, and that it was the room that he signed the Emancipation Proclamation in. So the room itself is really a shrine, I think, to American history. NARRATOR: The Lincoln Bedroom has undergone a variety of changes through the years. Different administrations presented it in different ways. But the first major renovation of the room was under the guidance of First Lady Laura Bush.

  • Twelve Elections That Shaped a Century I Tawdry Populism, Timid Progressivism, 1900-1930
    Arkansas Politics in the 20th Century: Twelve Elections That Shaped a Century I Tawdry Populism, Timid Progressivism, 1900-1930 One-gallus Democracy Not with a whimper but a bellow did the 20th century begin in Arkansas. The people’s first political act in the new century was to install in the governor’s office, for six long years, a politician who was described in the most graphic of many colorful epigrams as “a carrot-headed, red-faced, loud-mouthed, strong-limbed, ox-driving mountaineer lawyer that has come to Little Rock to get a reputation — a friend of the fellow who brews forty-rod bug juice back in the mountains.”1 He was the Tribune of the Haybinders, the Wild Ass of the Ozarks, Karl Marx for the Hillbillies, the Stormy Petrel, Messiah of the Rednecks, and King of the Cockleburs. Jeff Davis talked a better populism than he practiced. In three terms, 14 years overall in statewide office, Davis did not leave an indelible mark on the government or the quality of life of the working people whom he extolled and inspired, but he dominated the state thoroughly for 1 This quotation from the Helena Weekly World appears in slightly varied forms in numerous accounts of Davis's yers. It appeared in the newspaper in the spring of 1899 and appears in John Gould Fletcher, Arkansas (Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1947) p. 2. This version, which includes the phrase "that has come to Little Rock to get a reputation" appears in Raymond Arsenault, The Wild Ass of the Ozarks: Jeff Davis and the Social Bases of Southern Politics (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1984), p.
