An Integrated Boyhood: Coming of Age in White Cleveland
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/voices_of_diversity/1/thumbnail.jpgThe memoir of a bookish black youth in mid-twentieth century Cleveland
When Phillip M. Richards graduated from Yale in 1972, he had fulfilled his parents’ dreams. Like many other black Clevelanders of their generation, they had come up from the South in the late forties and moved from neighborhood to neighborhood in search of better schools. As they followed bourgeois African Americans’ circular migration from Mt. Pleasant to Lee Harvard to South Taylor Road and finally to Forest Hills, Richards’s parents provided him with all of what they called “the good situations”: major work, classes at the Institute of Music, Boy Scouts, and education at University School—which midcentury Cleveland could offer its most ambitious new black residents.
In An Integrated Boyhood, Richards candidly describes how this exemplary middle-class Cleveland sojourn left him hopelessly confused and dislocated at the very moment of his parents’ triumph. His narrative of success provides the background to a more private turmoil: Richards’s struggle to read the shifting meanings of his privileged experience amid the city’s shifting racial lines, the fringe on the Left, the tumult of rising black consciousness, and the fears of nervous white suburban neighbors. This coming-of-age story sings the undersong of an older generation’s hard-won success. Like all black Clevelanders, Richards was forced to struggle for his understanding of the city’s—and his own—endless racial confusion in the midst of frightening historical change. It is this reality that recurs throughout Richards’s memoir: the early encounters of a scared, bookish African American boy from Mt. Pleasant with what can only be described as the real world.</p
2012 Inductee, Anthony (Tony) Debevc; Owner of Debonne Winery
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/winehalloffame/13/thumbnail.jpgAnthony (Tony) Debevc was recognized for his pioneering work in grape growing, his leadership, and for the establishment of one of the first ‘modern era’ wineries when it opened in the Grand River Valley in 1972. In the winery’s early days, he was mentored by the Philip Wagner of Maryland’s Boordy Vineyards, a legendary figure whose grape growing experiments introduced French-American hybrid grapes to America. He was the founding director of the Ohio Wine Producers Association and elected as the first chair of the American Association of Vintners, which developed into Wine America. He served on the first Ohio Grape Industries Committee and held the position of chairman for the American Association of Vintners, the first national trade association for wine producers.</p

Memorializing religion: Crowdsourcing, minorities, and the quest for identity in online archives
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/asir/vol1/iss1/9/thumbnail.jpgReligion is a defining factor in the identity formation process of a minority community. Historically, religion has often been used as a driving force behind the introduction, development and completion of projects that require collective effort. In fact, in many cases, religion has been an extreme denominator that has created new communities of practice, or solidified existing ones. A unifying force, religion and its expressions in liturgical or everyday forms is an overarching element that unites members of these communities beyond the geographic or temporal limitations. Today, new technologies are paramount in online and digital archives of minority communities, especially in ways that these communities use these technologies to retell and “exhibit” their identity online. Crowdsourcing archives with user-generated material can add valuable context to archival holdings, shed light on hidden collections, and tie them with material in other institutions or countries. In the context of this paper, the notion of crowdsourcing in archives will be examined through the lens of religion and a classification of such initiatives will be proposed.</p

Using Semantic Technologies to Analyze the Semantic Orientation of Religious Sermons – A Validation of the Early Work of McLaughlin
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/acir/2011/Papers/1/thumbnail.jpgThis research derives from a growing awareness in the knowledge management community of three factors: the value of language to knowledge management, the value of knowledge in all economic sectors and all aspects of human endeavour, and the “knowledge-richness” of belief systems and religion. Three research questions are addressed: What is the nature of language found in sermons? Is the use of semantic analysis technologies a feasible method for increasing our understanding of language patterns and characteristics? And, finally, Are there different approaches to the use of language in sermons across Christian religious communities? The research leverages semantic criteria defined by the early work of Raymond McLaughlin on the use of intentional and extensional language. McLaughlin’s research was necessarily limited in scale and scope and performed manually in 1940. In 2011, this research leverages semantic technologies to apply his well-formed semantic criteria to a larger scale (300 sermons) and broader scope (nine religious denominations). The research results suggest that McLaughlin’s criteria retain their value to language analysis today, that semantic technologies are a practical approach to applying these criteria to the use of language in religious communities, but that there are variations in the conclusion drawn by McLaughlin 70 years ago. The primary result suggests a high degree of balance of intentional and extensional language in modern day sermons.</p
The energy of information: A theory of forbearance
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/acir/2011/Papers/4/thumbnail.jpgForbearance is the endurance of negativity from others or the world without responding in kind. Unfortunately, the transmission of negativity is ubiquitous among people at every level of social organization. Consequently, religion and the humanistic sciences view forbearance as critical to the well-being of persons and society. This paper introduces a scientific approach to the analysis of forbearance. First, it provides an understanding of the dynamic, yet information-based, context within which forbearance is relevant. Second, it presents a model of forbearance as one aspect of a spectrum of responses to negativity and, ultimately, as an ensemble of energy-modulating, information-based operators.</p
