Send your nominations to Dean Patrice Grimes ([email protected]) every Thursday by 12 noon. Quote's Corner Bayard Rustin (March 17, 1912 – August 24, 1987) was an American leader in social movements for civil rights, socialism, nonviolence, and gay rights. Rustin worked with A. Philip Randolph on the March on Washington Movement in 1941 to press for an end to racial discrimination in employment. Rustin later organized Freedom Rides and helped to organize the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to strengthen Martin Luther King Jr.'s leadership, teaching King about nonviolence and later serving as an organizer for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. After the passage of the civil rights legislation of 1964–65, Rustin became the head of the AFL–CIO's A. Philip Randolph Institute, which promoted the integration of formerly all-white unions and promoted the unionization of African Americans. During the 1970s and 1980s, Rustin served on many humanitarian missions. At the time of his death in 1987, he was on a humanitarian mission in Haiti. Rustin was a gay man who was arrested early in his career for engaging in public sex. Due to criticism over his sexuality, he was a behind the scenes advisor to civil-rights leaders. In the 1980s, he became a public advocate on behalf of gay causes. Later in life, Rustin shifted ideologically towards neoconservatism, for which President Ronald Reagan posthumously praised him after his death in 1987. On November 20, 2013, President Barack Obama awarded posthumously the Presidential Medal of Freedom to him.

  • New on Video &

    New On Video & DVD Yes Man Jim Carrey returns to hilarious form with this romantic comedy in the same vein as the Carrey classic Liar Liar. After a few stints in more serious features like Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and The Number 23, Carrey seems right at home playing Carl, a divorcé who starts out the film depressed and withdrawn, scared of taking a risk. Pressured by his best friend, Peter (Bradley Cooper), to get his act together or be stuck with a lonely life, Carl attends a New Age self-help seminar intended to change "no men" like Carl into "yes men" willing to meet life's challenges with gusto. Carl is reluctant at first, but finds the seminar to be ultimately life-changing when he's coerced into giving the "say yes" attitude a try. As the first opportunity to say yes presents itself, Carl hesitantly utters the three-letter word, setting the stage for a domino effect of good rewards, and giving Carrey a platform to show off his comic chops. But over time Carl realizes that saying yes to everything indiscriminately can reap results as complicated and messy as his life had become when saying "no" was his norm. The always-quirky Zooey Deschanel adds her signature charm as Carl's love interest, Allison. An unlikely match at first glance, the pair actually develop great chemistry as the story progresses, the actors play- ing off each other's different styles of humor. Rhys Darby also shines as Carl's loveable but clueless boss, and That 70s Show's Danny Masterson appears as another one of Carl's friends.

Tabuina pidetään asioita, jotka ovat kiellettyjä tai halutaan salata, koska ne aiheuttavat ennakkoluuloja ja leimaavat ihmistä. Esimerkkei- nä käytetyt sarjat ovat Dallas ja Dynasty 1980-luvulta, Twin Peaks ja ER 1990-luvulta sekä Desperate Housewives ja Nip/Tuck 2000-luvulta. Tavoitteena on sarjojen käsikirjoituksen pohjalta tutkia millä tavalla erilaisia tabuja sarjoissa on käsitelty ja kuinka näihin tabuihin suhtautuminen on ajan myötä muuttunut. Käsiteltäviä tabuja ovat naisten alkoholismi, rintasyöpä sekä siihen liittyvä rintojen poisto, homoseksuaalisuus, tummaihoisen naisen asema 1980-luvulla, suhteen sisäinen raiskaus, insesti, transsukupuolisuus, HIV ja AIDS sekä kauneusleikkaukset. Tutkimusmenetelmänä työssä käytettiin sisällönanalyysia. Työtä varten palattiin tarkastelemaan yllämainittujen televisiosarjojen jaksoja ja tehtiin niistä muistiinpanoja. Tämän lisäksi luettiin televisiosarjo- ja käsittelevää kirjallisuutta

    The Daily Brief Podcast: 30 of TV's Most Diversity-Defining Moments

    The Daily Brief Podcast: 30 of TV's Most Diversity-Defining Moments 04.02.2018 As a precursor to Tuesday's Multicultural TV Summit in New York City, which focuses on creating content for specific audience segments defined by age, ethnicity or race, gender, nationality or sexual preference, Daily Brief contributor Marc Berman compiled a timeline of some of TV's most important moments of diversity. The list highlights each of the aforementioned defining factors - including two shows featuring TV's favorite redhead, Lucille Ball; four Norman Lear sitcoms; three current series and, of course, Ellen DeGeneres' landmark coming-out episode. The list pinpoints some of the pivotal moments that helped turn today's TV landscape into the melting pot that it is, although there's always work to be done. Along with compiling the extensive list below, Berman spoke to PromaxBDA Editorial Director Paige Albiniak about his findings on today's episode of The Daily Brief Podcast. July 3, 1950: The Hazel Scott Show (DuMont) The common perception is The Nat King Cole Show in 1956 was the first variety series hosted by an African American performer. But it was actually this 15-minute summer series six years earlier, hosted by Trinidad-born singer and pianist Hazel Scott that owns that distinction. June 28, 1951: Amos 'N' Andy (CBS) Based on the radio of the same name, where two white actors originated the two lead characters, an all-black ensemble cast populated the Harlem, New York-based sitcom version (led by Alvin Childress as Amos and Spencer Williams, Jr.
