  Abraham Lincoln - The Dark Side...

  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."

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Workplace harassment is an issue that extends far beyond isolated incidents—it is a systemic problem that affects employees across industries and at all levels of employment. From overt discrimination and verbal abuse to more insidious forms of intimidation and exclusion, workplace harassment can take many shapes. Yet, despite growing awareness, countless cases go unreported, leaving victims to suffer in silence while companies turn a blind eye. The consequences of this widespread problem are severe, impacting not only individuals but entire organizations.  
    
  At its core, workplace harassment is about power and control. It is often perpetuated by those in positions of authority or influence, creating a culture where victims fear retaliation if they speak up. In some cases, even when complaints are filed, they are dismissed or mishandled by employers who prioritize their company’s reputation over the well-being of their employees. This failure to address harassment fosters a toxic work environment, leading to decreased productivity, high turnover rates, and lasting emotional damage for those affected.  
    
  While laws and regulations exist to protect workers from harassment, enforcement remains inconsistent. Many employees are unaware of their rights, and even those who do understand them may hesitate to take legal action due to the stigma attached to being labeled a troublemaker. Human resources departments, which are meant to serve as a safeguard against workplace misconduct, often struggle to balance their duty to employees with their loyalty to the company. As a result, the burden of addressing workplace harassment frequently falls on the victims themselves, leaving them with difficult choices that can impact their careers and mental health.

  In the following keynote address given at Baylor University, author Paul Levinson discusses Canadian philosopher and academic Marshall McLuhan's seminal book, "Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man," which proposed that the media--not the content that they carry-- affects the society in which it plays a role and, thus, should be the focus of study. Levinson, a colleague of McLuhan’s, lays out, how in the decades since its 1964 publication, McLuhan’s study of media theory and the concept that "the medium is the message," still holds true.

  Hope - Inspiring Optimism in...

  Hope is a force that fuels resilience, strengthens determination, and inspires people to push forward even in the darkest moments. It is not just wishful thinking but a deep-seated belief that better days lie ahead. When faced with adversity, hope becomes a guiding light, illuminating possibilities that might otherwise remain unseen. It empowers individuals to rise above setbacks, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth. 
  Why hope matters in difficult times is evident in the way it shapes human responses to hardship. Those who embrace hope tend to navigate struggles with a sense of purpose and persistence. It provides the emotional strength needed to endure uncertainty, offering reassurance that no storm lasts forever. People who hold on to hope are more likely to take proactive steps toward improvement rather than surrender to despair. 
  The science behind optimism reveals that hope is more than an abstract concept—it has tangible effects on mental and physical well-being. Studies suggest that individuals with a hopeful outlook experience lower stress levels, improved immunity, and a greater ability to cope with life’s difficulties. The brain, when wired for optimism, releases chemicals that promote motivation and resilience. This neurological response reinforces the idea that hope is not only beneficial but essential for overall health and success.
