Arturo Schomburg, born in
Puerto Rico, he began early to take an active interest in Negro literature
and art. While engaged in various occupations he painstakingly assembled a
collection of rare manuscripts, first editions and prints, some of which
went back to the earliest settlements on the American continents. In 1926,
his collection, then considered one of the most complete of its kind, was
purchased by the Carnegie Foundation and presented to the Public Library. In
1927, he won a bronze medal and one hundred dollars from the Harmon
Foundation for outstanding work in the field of education.

Jesse Helms, White Racist –In
1984, when Helms faced his toughest
opponent in Democratic Gov. Jim
Hunt, the late Bill Peterson, one of
the most evenhanded reporters I have
ever known, summed up what "some
said was the meanest Senate campaign
in history." "Racial epithets and
standing in school doors are no
longer fashionable," Peterson wrote,
"but 1984 proved that the ugly
politics of race are alive and well.
Helms is their master."
A year
before the election, when public
polls showed Helms trailing by 20
points, he launched a Senate
filibuster against the bill making
the birthday of Martin Luther King
Jr. a national holiday. Thurmond and
the Senate majority were on the
other side, but the next poll showed
Helms had halved his deficit. All
year, Peterson reported, "Helms
campaign literature sounded a
drumbeat of warnings about black
voter-registration drives. . . .
On
election eve, he accused Hunt of
being supported by 'homosexuals, the labor union bosses and the crooks'
and said he feared a large 'bloc
vote.' What did he mean? 'The black
vote,' Helms said." He won, 52
percent to 48 percent. In 1990,
locked in a tight race with an
African American Democrat, former
Charlotte mayor Harvey Gantt, Helms
aired a final-week TV ad that showed
a pair of white hands crumpling a
rejection letter, while an announcer
said, "You needed that job and you
were the best qualified. But they
had to give it to a minority because
of a racial quota." Once again, he
pulled through. That is not a
history to be sanitized.

Confidence Men: Wall Street, Washington, and
the Education of a President
By
Ron Suskind
A new
book offering an insider's account of the
White House's response to the financial
crisis says that U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim
Geithner ignored an order from President
Barack Obama calling for reconstruction of
major banks. According to Pulitzer
Prize-winning author Ron Suskind, the
incident is just one of several in which
Obama struggled with a divided group of
advisers, some of whom he didn't initially
consider for their high-profile roles.
Suskind interviewed more than 200 people,
including Obama, Geithner and other top
officials . . . The book states Geithner and
the Treasury Department ignored a March 2009
order to consider dissolving banking giant
Citigroup while continuing stress tests on
banks, which were burdened with toxic
mortgage assets. . . .Suskind states that
Obama accepts the blame for mismanagement in
his administration while noting that
restructuring the financial system was
complicated and could have resulted in
deeper financial harm. . . . In a February
2011 interview with Suskind, Obama
acknowledges another ongoing criticism—that
he is too focused on policy and not on
telling a larger story, one the public could
relate to. Obama is quoted as saying he was
elected in part because "he had connected
our current predicaments with the broader
arc of American history," but that such a
"narrative thread" had been lost.—Gopusa

Midnight Rising
John Brown and the Raid That Sparked the
Civil War
By
Tony Horwitz
Plotted
in secret, launched in the dark, John
Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry was a pivotal
moment in U.S. history. But few Americans
know the true story of the men and women who
launched a desperate strike at the
slaveholding South. Now, Midnight Rising
portrays Brown's uprising in vivid color,
revealing a country on the brink of
explosive conflict. Brown, the descendant of
New England Puritans, saw slavery as a sin
against America's founding principles.
Unlike most abolitionists, he was willing to
take up arms, and in 1859 he prepared for
battle at a hideout in Maryland, joined by
his teenage daughter, three of his sons, and
a guerrilla band that included former slaves
and a dashing spy. On October 17, the
raiders seized Harpers Ferry, stunning the
nation and prompting a counterattack led by
Robert E. Lee. After Brown's capture, his
defiant eloquence galvanized the North and
appalled the South, which considered Brown a
terrorist. The raid also helped elect
Abraham Lincoln, who later began to fulfil
Brown's dream with the Emancipation
Proclamation, a measure he called "a John
Brown raid, on a gigantic scale."
