Death Dying and the Definite Article

Last updated on: May 21, 2015 at 5:33 pm By Guest Contributor

by Paula Penn-Nabrit CMadison loved Strunk & White’s The Elements of Style and gifted copies to our sons as homeschooling “treats”. Me, not so much…should that last period have been placed inside or outside of the quotation marks and does anyone really care?! But lately I’ve been musing about indefinite and definite articles, specifically a death versus the death. It’s been two years since CMadison died. I was a young girl of 17 when I met him and a 57 year old woman when he died.... Read more

Blacks, Latinos, and the Right to Vote

Last updated on: May 21, 2015 at 5:58 am By Andre E. Johnson

Recently, R3 had an opportunity to interview Donathan Brown, co-author (with Michael L. Clemons) of the new book Voting Rights Under Fire: The Continuing Struggle for People of Color (Praeger, 2015). R3: What lead you and your to write this book? DB: We felt that the continual onslaught of states passing voter identification laws, the continual court challenges, along with the overall controversy these measures created was reason enough to dig deeper. Claims over the widespread existence and influence of in-person... Read more

On Hearing Call and Respecting Your Path

Last updated on: May 18, 2015 at 12:42 pm By Guest Contributor

by Charles McKinney I started grad school in the fall of 1990. I finished my master’s in 1994, and left screaming and cussing, swearing never to return to my program in history at Duke. I felt like grad school wasn’t worth the effort. I felt like I should be doing something more “substantive”, something more explicitly connected to the improvement of Black Life. So, I left, and spent several years working in the non-profit sector. Five hard, glorious years, doing... Read more

The Church and the #BlackLivesMatter Movement-Pt. 2

Last updated on: May 31, 2015 at 1:21 pm By Katherine Whitfield

In my previous post, I ended wanting to explore the connection between the black church (assuming the “non-white” context of the early Christian church) and the Black Lives Matter movement, discussing the theological and practical aspects of the movement as a possible extension of the black, or womanist, church in the 21st century. Moreover, drawing from the work of Albert Cleage, in what James Evans called an ecclesiology of praxis rather than one of the proclaimed Word” (156), I would like to... Read more
