  Unwritten History Lincoln A Dark...

  Lincoln's connection to black history may go much further than his role in slavery. In the 2001 book 'Black People and Their Place in History', historian Leroy Vaughn, alleges that Lincoln’s father was African American and his mother had Ethiopian ethnicity, both of which may have explained his “very dark skin and coarse hair.” The fact is his rivals campaigned using propaganda that depicted Lincoln as “Abraham Africanus the First,” an African man.It is claimed that Abraham Lincoln, who became America’s 16th President in 1860, was a Melungeon; a person of European, African-American and Native American ancestry.But beyond even that thoughtful historical proposition the late scholar Lerone Bennet Jr. sees America's most beloved president in a very different light to how he has been portrayed throughout time. Bennet hit a nerve in his research and writing on Lincoln. His book, 'Forced into Glory: Abraham Lincoln's White Dream', questions Lincoln's role as the "Great Emancipator". The work was described by one reviewer as a "flawed mirror." It was further criticized by historians of the Civil War period as faulty.In his introduction, Bennett wrote:"The idea of the book is simple: Everything you think you know about Lincoln and race is wrong. Every schoolchild, for example, knows the story of "the great emancipator" who freed Negroes with a stroke of the pen out of the goodness of his heart. The real Lincoln ... was a conservative politician who said repeatedly that he believed in white supremacy. Not only that: He opposed the basic principle of the Emancipation Proclamation until his death and was literally forced – Count Adam Gurowski said he was literally whipped – "into the glory of having issued the Emancipation Proclamation," which Lincoln drafted in such a way that it did not in and of itself free a single slave."Bennett's critics, including historians as well as political scientists, believe he ignores Lincoln's political and moral growth during the course

  The Pine Barrens

  Most people think of New Jersey as a suburban-industrial corridor that runs between New York and Philadelphia. Yet in the low center of the state is a near wilderness, larger than most national parks, which has been known since the seventeenth century as the Pine Barrens. 
   
   
   
  The term refers to the predominant trees in the vast forests that cover the area and to the quality of the soils below, which are too sandy and acid to be good for farming. On all sides, however, developments of one kind or another have gradually moved in, so that now the central and integral forest is reduced to about a thousand square miles. Although New Jersey has the heaviest population density of any state, huge segments of the Pine Barrens remain uninhabited. The few people who dwell in the region, the "Pineys," are little known and often misunderstood. Here McPhee uses his uncanny skills as a journalist to explore the history of the region and describe the people—and their distinctive folklore—who call it home.

  The Inclusive Language Field...

  Avoid inadvertently offending or alienating anyone by following six straightforward communication guidelines developed by a no-nonsense linguistic anthropologist and business consultant. 
   
  In today's fast-moving and combative culture, language can feel like a minefield. Terms around gender, disability, race, sexuality and more are constantly evolving. Words that used to be acceptable can now get you "cancelled." People are afraid of making embarrassing mistakes. Or sounding outdated or out of touch. Or not being as respectful as they intended. 
    
  But it's not as complicated as it might seem. Linguistic anthropologist Suzanne Wertheim offers six easy-to-understand principles to guide any communication-written or spoken-with anyone: 
    
  - Reflect reality 
  - Show respect 
  - Draw people in 
  - Incorporate other perspectives 
  - Prevent erasure 
  - Recognize pain points 
    
  This guide clarifies the challenges-and the solutions-to using "they/them," and demonstrates why "you guys" isn't as inclusive as many people think. If you follow the principles, you'll know not to ask a female coworker with a wedding ring about her husband-because she might be married to a woman. And you'll avoid writing things like "America was discovered in 1492," because that's just when Europeans found it. 
   
  Filled with real-world examples, high-impact word substitutions, and exercises that boost new skills, this book builds a foundational toolkit so people can evaluate what is and isn't inclusive language on their own.

  Meroitic Kingdom - Forgotten...

  The Land of Kush, an ancient and powerful civilization, thrived along the banks of the Nile in what is now Sudan. Situated south of Egypt, Kush was a land of vast deserts, fertile floodplains, and rich natural resources. This region played a crucial role in shaping the history of northeastern Africa, serving as a bridge between central Africa and the Mediterranean world. The rise of the Kingdom of Kush was deeply influenced by its geography, trade networks, and interactions with neighboring civilizations. 
  The Nile River was the lifeline of Kush, providing water for agriculture, transportation, and trade. The river's annual flooding deposited nutrient-rich silt, allowing the Kushites to cultivate crops such as barley, wheat, and sorghum. This agricultural abundance supported growing populations and enabled the kingdom to expand its influence. The vast deserts surrounding Kush acted as natural barriers, protecting the civilization from invasions while also encouraging the development of trade routes that connected Kush to Egypt, the Red Sea, and beyond. 
  Kush's wealth was largely derived from its abundant natural resources, particularly gold, iron, and precious stones. Gold mines in Nubia were among the richest in the ancient world, making Kush a major supplier of gold to Egypt and other civilizations. Ironworking became another defining feature of Kushite industry, allowing the kingdom to produce advanced tools and weapons that strengthened its economy and military. The Kushites also controlled trade routes that transported luxury goods such as ivory, ebony, and incense, further enriching their civilization.
