The abolitionist movement, which represented the earliest days of the American Civil Rights Movement, succeeded in every northern state by 1804, although there were still at least a dozen "permanent apprentices" listed in the 1860 census. Three northern organizations advocating this reform were the Society of Friends (Quakers), the Pennsylvania Antislavery Society, and the New York Manumission Society. This latter group was run by powerful Federalists John Jay, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. The Federalists opposed State's Rights, arguing for federal legislation abolishing slavery. New York finally abolished slavery, gradually, starting in 1799, making this the largest emancipation of American...

Several years ago a good friend told me of an incident in which he asked a wealthy white person, “Who will take care take care of the poor whites?” The man answered,” Wealthy white people will take care of poor white people.” My friend then asked, “Who will take care of poor Blacks?” The man said, “God will take care of poor Blacks.” The wealthy white man did not even consider that wealthy Black people would take care of poor Black people. Why is that? Donations to Black colleges, as noted in numerous recent reports, are almost non-existent among Blacks and Black alumni. For decades corporate and foundation donations have kept our nation’s historically Black colleges off life...

Many management theorists yearn to be scientific and as a consequence the domain is littered with tools which claim to have scientific validity and which go on to claim the ability to measure, predict and control many aspects of human and organisational life. So, for example, you might choose to use Cameron and Quinn's Competing Values Framework which is supposed to allow you to diagnose and change your organisation's culture and values. By using the tools managers can help employees line up and point in the same direction by adopting the values you require in your organisation.Then of course there is the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) which is supposed to indicate which of the Jungian...

South Carolina last night became the first Southern state in the presidential primary season to vote, and South Carolinians sent a message to the Democratic Party: if you want credibility with today's voters, don't turn the clock back on racial politics. The big winner was Barack Obama, garnering 55 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary. It was no surprise that Obama inspired 78 percent of black voters to side with him. But what was perhaps more notable was the approximately 12 to 14 percent "bump" he got in white voters, whose support had stood at a paltry 10 percent only days ago thanks to the efforts of the Clinton Ambition Machine. Hillary Clinton had gotten the ball rolling by trying to...

A main reason many African American women have problems with hair growth is the shampoo they use. Many black women use shampoo with alcohol content in them - as well as petroleum jelly and too many sulfates. Instead of using these harmful shampoos, try using a natural shampoo. The ingredients it contains are all natural and it leaves your hair moisturized and soft. The next important thing to do for your hair is to condition it. Conditioning seals in the moisture and prevents it from getting brittle and allows you to comb it easier. A good deep oil conditioner is Mira hair oil! -Next, when your hair is wet, do not brush it. Brushing out wet hair can break it off and cause more damage. Use a wide...

Racial segregation is really a serious issue in the sphere of politics. If you study deeply the African American history with much attention, you will come to know that the black community was under the feet of the white community for several centuries. They were treated as bonded laborers and slaves who had very little human values. Their condition was very bad. They were denied education, food, status and recognition. The black people were thought of being animals like other wild creatures. They were oppressed by the white colored rulers and masters. The practice of the slavery was legalized in South. Now after Civil War, the slavery was banned and the civil rights were given to the black people...

If you are a student of history and you have the strong passion for African American history, you will find how cruelly and brutally the black community was treated earlier. They were treated as slaves in their own home land. The color distinction was a serious concern in America. The African Americans were treated wildly. There was lack of equal status which could put the black persons in the same hierarchy in which the white persons were honored. However, after several decades, the African American communities are still suffering from the ethnic violence and the racial segregation. They are still victims of the vandalism, injustice, unequal status and the brutality. They are dined the jobs in some...

Some time ago I wrote a post on what I thought the next big thing would be. For some years now I have wondered what, after the internet and the mobile phone, would be the one thing that would capture the imagination and business acumen of the world. My suggestion in that article on my blog was that the next big thing would be the management of garbage, mostly actually the disposal of garbage. Reading an article on the BBC online news I have to revise that thought. The next big thing is going to be water. The article discusses that a huge underground lake has been found in the Sudanese region of Darfur. This is the area where some of the worse human atrocities are happening with some 200 000 people...

It is often said that the Sahara Desert is inhospitable to all living creatures. This is not particularly true as becomes evident when one looks at the history of the Sahara Desert. The Sahara Desert, located on the continent of Africa, is the world's largest hot desert. With a size that is comparable to the size of the entire United States, the Sahara comprises a major part of the landscape in Africa. The land here is not exactly friendly to those creatures that would choose it for a home, and in the Sahara Desert they have to be rugged and well-evolved in order to survive. Although most of the Sahara Desert is made up of bleak hamada (rocky terrain that is compact and formed into plateaus), there...

Minority Americans of any race or heritage that have an interest in earning a living while encouraging your ethnic group to embrace their heritage should explore minority business grants to achieve their goals. While most Americans are aware that this generous government funding is made available to minority Americans who desire to accomplish big business investment goals, or aid to non for profit organizations, what few are aware of is that free minority grants are acquirable to suit the purposes of the small ethnic business owner as well. You do not necessarily have to be looking to construct a major housing development in an ethnic neighborhood, or rehabilitating a cultural history museum, or...

Only a third of African American women are currently living with their husbands in the US and the same goes for many other minorities. This means they are struggling to pay their bills and bring up their children and many want to finish their education but cannot afford it. Single mothers from minority backgrounds can find help though with scholarships for minorities that can help them to get a degree and find a better job. Finding a scholarship can be both time consuming and difficult if you do not know where to look and many single mothers just give up. But if you know where to look it is not difficult at all. There are several organizations, both public and private that will help you to with...

Demonstrating how music can really benefit pubs underlines how intertwined the two industries are. " It's not just live music that is bringing in and retaining...

Sixteen-year old Yehudah Webster is the kind of kid that were he to don a Mets baseball cap backward, you'd walk straight past him on a busy thoroughfare in Manhattan. But engage him in a conversation of mutual interest, his gentle, intelligent eyes and manner would rivet your attention. With his black woolen tresses styled in locks, were he to grab a wooden staff and his favorite 'tallit' (a shawl) in a rural setting, you'd easily mistake him for a sheep or goat herder in the highlands of Abyssinia. But, since September, this Jewish lad from Newark, New Jersey, has brought renewed faith and vitality - tearful joy at times - to the members of Neve Shalom Synagogue in Suriname, home to the oldest...

In sharp contrast to the unwelcoming shoe hurled at President Bush in his last media conference in the Middle East, President Obama and his speech were very well-received in Egypt and the rest of the Muslim-majority world. The audience in Cairo University interrupted the speech 23 times by waves of applause (that is just slightly above average by Middle Eastern standards, especially when the cheering crowd is hand-picked by the Egyptian State Security Investigations). Outside of the university, reactions were also quite positive. Speaking to my apolitical mother and two of her friends in Cairo, the reaction was: "he is such a beautiful kid," "we love him," and "we are praying for God to protect him...

"This is homage to Martin Luther King, Jr." How much have we contributed to this existing world? Most or all of our paths are already taken or invented by the pioneers. Martin Luther King is one of the most prolific contributors to the field of humanity in our human world. His perspiration, courage and achievements are the milestones of human freedoms, civil rights and other mental civilizations that all of us are firmly holding as our norm. No matter how civilized our world has reached, people with heads like that of Martin Luther King are needed. This heroic man is needed based on three rationalisms. 1. Model of no model: Ninety-nine percent of the world's population needs "model" to invent the...

Models come in all shades of the rainbow. Supermodel Tyra Banks recently said that she is trying to expand the idea of what the fashion industry considers beautiful. According to her, black models with lighter skin are deemed more commercial, whereas darker-skinned black models are considered more high fashion. Miss Banks is on to something here. If you turn on the television and watch the R&B and hip hop videos you'll notice that the majority of the women in these videos are light-skinned. Dark skinned women are featured as well in music videos, but to get the same kind of attention that their counterparts get they much be well endowed. Now, turn to a major television network and you'll see...
