A question of survival: Robert F. Williams and black armed self-defense in the american south, 2018
No full textMany academic and popular accounts of the Civil Rights era emphasize nonviolent activists and activism at the expense of those who embraced armed self-defense and resistance. Nevertheless, the latter played a significant role within these struggles. One of the most significant was Robert F. Williams, a black militant activistand president of the local NAACP chapter in Monroe, North Carolinawho embraced armed self-defense as a necessary and instrumental component for the liberation of black people in America. After publicly declaring that blacks should defend themselves and hold racist whites accountable through armed self-defense, he was met with immeasurable backlash from other civil rights leaders and organizations, including the national NAACP. The purpose of this study is to examine his beliefs in the necessity of armed self-defense, as well as his impact on the civil rights movement. KEY TERMS: Robert F. Williams, Armed Resistance, Guns, NAACP, Self Defense, SNCC, United States Histor

GaNCH: Using Linked Open Data for Georgia's Natural, Cultural and Historic Organizations' Disaster Response
No full textIn June 2019, the Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library received a LYRASIS Catalyst Fund grant to support the creation of a publicly editable directory of Georgia's Natural, Cultural and Historical Organizations (NCHs), allowing for quick retrieval of location and contact information for disaster response. By the end of the project, over 1,900 entries for NCH organizations in Georgia were compiled, updated, and uploaded to Wikidata, the linked open data database from the Wikimedia Foundation. These entries included directory contact information and GIS coordinates that appear on a map presented on the GaNCH project website (https://ganch.auctr.edu/), allowing emergency responders to quickly search for NCHs by region and county in the event of a disaster. In this article we discuss the design principles, methods, and challenges encountered in building and implementing this tool, including the impact the tool has had on statewide disaster response after implementation
Protected reasons and precedential constraint—erratum
No full textOwing to editorial errors in the article by Mullins,1 angled brackets have been misplaced in several formulae. The sentences in question follow: For any case c = X, r, s, Factors(c) = X, Rule(c) = r and Outcome(c) = s. In order to ensure coherence, we stipulate that for any case c = X, r, s belonging to a case base , Premise(r) Xs. Suppose the court reasons against the background of a case base 1 that contains only one case, c1 = cX1, r1, . In a new fact scenario X, a decision in X based on the rule r and leading to outcome s will satisfy the protected reason model of precedential constraint just in case {X, r , s } is exclusion consistent. Adding the case c2 = X2, r2, to 1 would introduce inconsistency into the case base because we could then derive the priority relation {f p 1 , f p 2 , f p 3 } ,c2 {f d 1 }, which is inconsistent with the priority order ,c1 . A case base is exclusion consistent just in case there is no case c = X, r, s in such that for another case c = X, r , s in , X oPremise(r ) and Premise(r ) Excludedc. Supposing that the decision for defendant in this case is represented by the case c5 = X5, r4, , G1 {c5} will not be exclusion inconsistent. To illustrate the equivalence between the two approaches we can return to the same example of a case base 1 involving the previous decision c1 = X2, r1, , where the decision-maker is as before faced with the new fact scenario X2 = {f p 1 , f d 1 }
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Elizabeth F. Thompson, Leila Farsakh, and Robert Laffey discuss, Hope Arab Spring Eternal at Ford Hall Forum, video recording, 5/16/2013
No full textHow much closer are Middle Eastern countries to having functioning constitutional governments than they were in the spring of 2011? How will such governments impact their economies? What unique challenges and opportunities has each country faced in building new government? How has the culture played into the emerging politics? Elizabeth F. Thompson (author, Justice Interrupted) and Leila Farsakh (Associate Professor of Political Science, UMass Boston) join us to provide an update on happenings in the Middle East, particularly in terms of consequences we did not foresee two years ago. Robert Laffey (Assistant Professor of Government, Suffolk University) guides this discussion on post-Arab Spring sociopolitical changes, mining Thompson\u27s book for historical context and Farsakh\u27s research for current insights. Elizabeth F. Thompson will be signing and selling copies of her book, Justice Interrupted, at the end of the event.https://dc.suffolk.edu/fhf-av/1129/thumbnail.jp
