Описание:
At the start of World War I, Transylvania was a multi-ethnic province that was still incorporated within the borders of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The studies included in this collection show that the war and its propaganda affected the entire Transylvanian population, regardless of age, ethnic origin or social status. While some Transylvanians were required, by virtue of their profession, to enter the service of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy’s propaganda machine, others chose to do so voluntarily or became the target population. The political and ecclesiastical authorities intended to persuade Transylvanians of the justness of the war and encouraged them to keep fighting and hold their ground, at home or on the front, wherever the war took them.

Описание: During the half century preceding widespread school integration, black North Carolinians engaged in a dramatic struggle for equal educational opportunity as segregated schooling flourished. Drawing on archival records and oral histories, Sarah Thuesen gives voice to students, parents, teachers, school officials, and civic leaders to reconstruct this high-stakes drama. She explores how African Americans pressed for equality in curricula, higher education, teacher salaries, and school facilities; how white officials co-opted equalization as a means of forestalling integration; and, finally, how black activism for equality evolved into a fight for something "greater than equal--integrated schools that served as models of civic inclusion. These battles persisted into the Brown era, mobilized black communities, narrowed material disparities, fostered black school pride, and profoundly shaped the eventual movement for desegregation. Thuesen emphasizes that the remarkable achievements of this activism should not obscure the inherent limitations of a fight for equality in a segregated society. In fact, these unresolved struggles are emblematic of fault lines that developed across the South, and serve as an urgent reminder of the inextricable connections between educational equality, racial diversity, and the achievement of first-class citizenship.

Описание: (This 3rd in a series of white papers, to clarify & defend the original Jesus of human history, not just the Jewish people, offers the social significance of a true Jesus entering into the world through human behavior. America, as the 2nd Israel in a global drama, not to decide the economic future of the world, but the moral & ethical system that will define the human instinct, as a citizen, as a patriot & as a parent, will be explored & extracted. The true moral opportunity provided by 4 words, reasoned by men, that defines the 1st civil right offered EVERY person under its umbrella, citizen or not, that defines all subsequent potential relationships, that offers the world the same experience, is explored for the opportunity & need that remains for its mastery by her citizens. This 3rd in the series offers the historical Jesus to the real world. This, as was done by Gandhi & King, offers a new vision for the world... in how we view ourselves, each other & the opportunity between us. For 6000 years humanity has struggled towards such true integration as to create a sustainable social civility. 2,000 years ago, the nation of Israel had a potential for greatness thrust upon them that was capable of changing the course of all human history. That opportunity slipped between their fingers. 2,000 years later, a nation was conceived that offered the same opportunity for greatness. But that potential greatness is not what is of interest to us. That missed opportunity 2,000 years ago, & the subsequent failure of Christian leadership to inherit the ONLY & PERFECT message Jesus offered, as the concluding thought on the history of moral social development, left open the door for Marxism. That failure was instituted on the basis of the failure of American founders to recognize the absolute obligation to ALL humanity they had, & as much to heaven as to one another. Slavery was the Achilles heel of Americas creation. Its founding failure allowed a birth & rooted such a morally deviant institutional state of mind & unearned entitlement, that even to this day, there has been no national repentance for the slavery that dragged & drags America down psychologically, as well as spiritually, to this day. That failure, of its people, to accept & immediately integrate that 1st Principle of America... allowed a complete failure of comprehension to reach the general populace as to the social significance of that 1st value, one specifically promoting true integration. Hence, today, racists wrongly imagine that their ideas of a morally justified hate are protected by the Constitution, specifically from the wording of the 1st Amendment, in the Bill of Rights. America, when properly understood... CONDEMNS SUCH VALUES... PERIOD. NO TRUE PATRIOT CAN OFFER SUPPORT FOR SUCH ANTI-SOCIAL VALUES. We must consent to allow ourselves to understand that the normal values that support slavery, racism, sexism, are the SAME values that link communist, fascist, Nazi & white Christian supremacist into one family of values. Under such an ideological assault, we must consent to integrate a genuinely human standard of rationality to guide our moral compass, given the universal social significance of relationships to human need & meaning. That will be the challenge we engage... & digest. Today... is now Judgment Day for Trumps white Christian Americans... but not America. She has remained faithful, carrying forward the wisdom of the ages without offering one change of word or intent. But today, in a social & moral climate that challenges all America promised & promises, a new kind of civics discussion is required, as a measure of our assumed, yet to be realized maturity... to restore what has been altered in our understanding, against all indicated wisdom & all evidence.)
