  Horace Greeley (1811–1872) was the founder and editor of the influential New York Tribune, whose circulation was among the largest in the United States. On August 19, 1862, Greeley wrote an editorial titled “The Prayer of Twenty Millions”--referring to the number of Northerners loyal to the Union--which criticized Lincoln for his reluctance to use the powers Congress had given him to confiscate southern property, including slaves, in order to emancipate them. The following is President Abraham Lincoln's reply, published in the Daily National Intelligencer on August 23, 1862.

  Compared to much of the rest of the world, America and its citizens are rich. But many people are also deeply miserable—at work, at home, or both. In this provocative book, author John Brueggemann unpacks why so many people are struggling, both emotionally and financially, in a nation that looks so prosperous on the surface.  From a hospital patient reduced to a balance sheet to a parent working such long hours that he misses dinner, Brueggemann argues that market thinking has permeated every corner of our lives. In the pursuit of more and better, relationships erode, to the detriment of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Rich, Free, and Miserable not only outlines these pressing social problems, but also offers practical suggestions for people looking to make a positive change.

  Kilwa Sultanate - The Swahili...

  Nestled along the shores of the Indian Ocean, Kilwa emerged as a vibrant cultural and trading hub whose origins can be traced back to the mingling of diverse peoples and traditions. Long before it became known as a dominant maritime power, the region was home to indigenous communities that thrived on the rich resources of the East African coast. The arrival of Arab and Persian traders introduced new goods, ideas, and cultural practices, setting in motion a transformation that would lay the groundwork for Kilwa’s future prominence. 
  The early formation of Kilwa was not the result of a single event but rather a gradual process influenced by its strategic geographic location. Its natural harbor provided an ideal meeting point for merchants navigating the vast Indian Ocean, linking the interior of Africa with the markets of Arabia, India, and even China. This advantageous position allowed Kilwa to evolve from a modest trading outpost into a bustling urban center, where economic opportunities attracted people from far and wide. 
  As the trade networks expanded, so did the cultural exchange. The integration of Islamic traditions played a significant role in shaping the identity of the nascent city-state. Early Muslim traders and scholars brought with them not only the teachings of Islam but also innovative approaches to governance, education, and law. This infusion of new perspectives blended with existing local customs, creating a unique cultural synthesis that became characteristic of the Swahili coast. Over time, the fusion of indigenous and foreign elements fostered a distinct identity, one that celebrated both its African roots and the influences of distant lands.

  1984 Nomination Acceptance Address

  On August 23, 1984, at the Dallas Convention Center, Reagan accepts the presidential nomination of the Republican party. Reagan reminds Democrats of the high inflation and interest rates when he took office in 1980 and claims Democrats “never met a tax they didn't like or hike.”  
  In 1981 “we started a policy of tightening the Federal budget instead of the family budget.” Reagan cites an improved “misery index” (the total of the inflation and unemployment rates) and improved poverty levels.  
  “In the 4 years before we took office, country after country fell under the Soviet yoke. Since January 20th, 1981, not 1 inch of soil has fallen to the Communists.” (long applause)  
  America is “more confident than ever” with “the strongest economic growth” and “the fastest rate of job creation”.  
  We support NATO, Israel, and free Latin American States that “struggle to prevent Communist takeovers fueled massively by the Soviet Union and Cuba.” We rescued “American students on the imprisoned island of Grenada.” 
  We oppose deficits, and support a balanced budget amendment, the line-item veto, tuition tax credits, enterprise zones, and lower taxes. There is no room for anti-Semitism or bigotry in the party of Lincoln. 
  With America at peace, “we’re in the midst of a springtime of hope” and see America as “a shining city on a hill.” We look forward to “the Olympic Games here in the United States” and marvel “at the journey of the Olympic torch” across our country.
