Showing results for "s" in Racism & Discrimination

En nombre de la lucha contra la discriminación, esta religión surgida en las universidades estadounidenses predica verdades bastante inusuales: su «teoría de género» sostiene que el sexo y el cuerpo no existen, y que solo cuenta la conciencia. Su «teoría crítica de la raza» afirma que todos los blancos son racistas, pero que ninguna persona «racializada» puede serlo. Su «epistemología del punto de vista» sostiene que todo conocimiento está localizado y que no existe ciencia objetiva, ni siquiera en las disciplinas tradicionales.

This is the memoir of James C. Hormel - a man who grew up feeling different not only because his family owned the Hormel “empire” and lived in a 26 bedroom house in a small Midwest town, but because he was gay at a time when homosexuality was not discussed or accepted. Outwardly he tried to live up to the life his father wanted for him - he was a successful professional, had married a lovely woman, and had children - but as volatile changes in the late 1960s impeded on the American psyche, Hormel realized that he could not hide his true self forever.

Lenny Duncan is the unlikeliest of pastors. Formerly incarcerated, he is now a black preacher in the whitest denomination in the United States: the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Shifting demographics and shrinking congregations make all the headlines, but Duncan sees something else at work - drawing a direct line between the church's lack of diversity and the church's lack of vitality. The problems the ELCA faces are theological, not sociological. But so are the answers.

"I am in Birmingham because injustice is here," declared Martin Luther King, Jr. He had come to that city of racist terror convinced that massive protest could topple Jim Crow. But the insurgency faltered. To revive it, King made a sacrificial act on Good Friday, April 12, 1963: he was arrested. Alone in his cell, reading a newspaper, he found a statement from eight "moderate" clergymen who branded the protests extremist and "untimely." King drafted a furious rebuttal that emerged as the "Letter from Birmingham Jail".

As a child, Joseph Beck heard the stories - when other lawyers came up with excuses, his father courageously defended a Black man charged with raping a White woman. Now a lawyer himself, Beck reconstructs his father's role in State of Alabama vs. Charles White, Alias, a trial that was much publicized when Harper Lee was 12 years old.

TUSKEGEE-EKSPERIMENTET handler om, da det amerikanske sundhedsvæsens afdeling for kønssygdomme i 1930'erne får en idé til et behandlingsprogram for syfilis.

Over de næste fire årtier deltager 600 personer i studiet. Alle deltagere i studiet er fattige afroamerikanske mænd fra den lille by Tuskegee i Alabama, USA, hvoraf omkring to-tredjedele har kønssygdommen syfilis.
