Was it greed? Was it honor? Was it religion? What was it that drove these men, women, and children to put their lives on pause and risk their very being for this campaign? Did the first crusade advance the cause of Christianity or were the temporal

Coming Into Focus: Thirty Years Of Asian American Independent Filmmaking
With the current fascination with all-things-Asian in the popular culture but given the inherently fickle nature of fads, it is worth recalling that the art of independent Asian American film evolved from the political struggles and countercultural practices that attended the new social movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Anti-war protest against the US-sponsored war in Southeast Asia, conflict over civil rights issues, widespread student revolt, and the crisis of political legitimacy influenced the early

Reading Is Power
Reading, as a fundamental skill in literacy, was a very appealing aspect of learning for the freed African Americans in the early 19th century. In Woman's "True" Profession by Nancy Hoffman, the passages show more desire for African American slaves and freedmen to read than to learn in other subjects. Around the Civil War period, (1861-1865) many black people were educated for the first time. Their background with slavery gives some explanation for why reading
