This is supported by extensive studies and analysis, and by leading international institutions who have also unanimously and enthusiastically said “Yes!” The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), guardian for human rights, agrees, as does UNESCO, promot- er of world’s education, and UNICEF, universal protector for children’s development. Our mandate has been developed from this belief and our strength to act upon it Is our driving force. Throughout the past two years as reviewed in this document, we have done our utmost to ad- vance access to sport for youth across several continents, including Latin America, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

For the first time, a single society found itself to be responsible for the entire known world. That it was, in the end, not equal to the task is hardly surprising. That it managed this task for so long, however, is nothing short of astonishing. Indeed, what Rome did has so astonished the western world that we have been attempting to rebuild it ever since. Many other nations and peoples have attempted to become "the empire" in Rome's place. We maintain that, whether willingly or not, America is today busily occupied in playing Rome. What we hope to present are the points of similarity between us and them, and what lessons the Roman experience might hold for our future. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstracts of Presentations (Alphabetical Listing by First Author) Abraham, Gency, DONNE AND MODERN MEDICINE, Dr. Clinton Brand, English A new trend in medical education involves Literature and Medicine courses that a handful of medical schools have applied to their curriculum. There is a great need for such an approach to education in our contemporary society where medicine has been dehumanized. Literature has been shown to enrich the medical profession and individuals. The ability to reflect especially in light of suffering is rewarding for all but crucial for a physician.

    “THE BIGGEST COLORED SHOW ON EARTH”: HOW MINSTRELSY HAS DEFINED PERFORMANCES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN IDENTITY FROM 19TH CENTURY THEATER TO HIP HOP A Senior Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in American Studies By Laura-Brynn Neuhoff Washington, D.C. April 26, 2017 “THE BIGGEST COLORED SHOW ONE EARTH”: HOW MINSTRELSY HAS DEFINED PERFORMANCES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN IDENTITY FROM 19TH CENTURY THEATER TO HIP HOP Laura-Brynn Neuhoff Thesis Adviser: Marcia Chatelain, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This senior thesis seeks to answer the following question: how and why is the word “minstrel” and associated images still used in American rap and hip hop performances? The question was sparked by the title of a 2005 rap album by the group Little Brother: The Minstrel Show. The record is packaged as a television variety show, complete with characters, skits, and references to blackface. This album premiered in the heat of the Minstrel Show Debate when questions of authenticity and representation in rap and hip hop engaged community members. My research is first historical: I analyze images of minstrelsy and reviews of minstrel shows from the 1840s into the twentieth century to understand how the racist images persisted and to unpack the ambiguity of the legacy of black blackface performers. I then analyze the rap scene from the late 2000-2005, when the genre most poignantly faced the identity crisis spurred by those referred to as “minstrel” performers. Having conducted interviews with the two lyricists of Little Brother: Rapper Big Pooh and Phonte, I primarily use Little Brother as my center of research, analyzing their production in conjunction with their spatial position in the hip hop community.
