The move is by a pastor out of georgia but who was talking about that weve gotten so complacent in our churches that we, this is how he explains it. We go to the same place and time even though the last few times weve been going, the fish are not there but were going to do the same thing. Maybe we have to go to deeper waters to find the fish because the fish are moving. Its important for me not just as a christian but as a leader to figure out how to i findthe fish. And not expect for the fish to always be atthe same place or to always come to me. And it struck me as such a great read, very tiny book. So powerful and impactful. We have to figure out how to go into the deeper water and not be afraid to go out further. We want to stay on the shore, sometimes you got to go into deep water so thats why that one. Then james helper is my friend. Is probably one of the most intelligent people ive ever met. Hes a great historian and hes a great experience so i wanted to get some understanding
The sitin movement and how that galvanizes the movement. It gets it really moving again by the late 1950s. Once again, it was College Students who get that movement rolling in 1960 and 1951. In 1960 and 1961. To the point where there are tens of thousands of people involved. We see that rolls over into freedom rights of 1961. We see that continuing, culminating on the march on washington in 1963. And the gigantic birmingham demonstration where there is the fantastic letter from the birmingham jail. What we are going to do today is take a step back. What is happening between 1961 and 1964 for sncc in particular. After it was created after the sit in movement, we know they were involved with the freedom rights at the end. We know they are wedded to nonviolent direct action, but what makes them do it . They will plan and execute one of the most ambitious civil rights call it a demonstration would not do it justice. One of the most incredible civil rights events of the era. They call it th
Youy pleasure to welcome today on the discussion of diplomacy in the future of European Security. I would like to extend a special welcome to our esteemed speakers, first and foremost, the secretary general for security and cooperation in europe. The secretary general is joined by a member of the panel of eminent persons on european is a common project professor. He also served as president of the Chicago Council on global affairs, our Partner Organization for todays event. I would also like to welcome the distinguished guest we have today. Forgive me if i dont have all of you in my notes. This discussion comes at a time of uncertainty in european history to say the very least. More than a quartercentury after the fall of the berlin wall, the strategic questions of political divergence is emerged. Looking back, sometimes we forget the huge importance of the csc in getting us through the cold war and out the other side in as good a shape as we are in. Turning back to europe and ukraine,
Mississippi or their hometown in many instances. They were going overseas to fight for a cause. They were really behind it of the most part all of the ones that i found were willing to go and serve and in some cases people wonder why we had not been there before. I had one letter from an individual who fought with the Canadian Expeditionary forces. He went early went early because he thought it was a just cause. We always read about people saying, what if the south had won the civil war . What my question is, what if we had not entered that war . The world would be a vastly different place. As for its relevance today i would not have know this if id not been researching this book, again i was not aware of the consequences. All of this trouble in the middle east that we are having right now, so so many of those countries involved, involved after world war i. Promises were made after world war i and we do not look up to them. Conflict is still resulting today because of that. So if it is
Great depression, other gaps we had, and so i started plunging in the collection and i happened upon this is years ago Works Progress administration papers, the wpa in mississippi compiled county histories, and one of the topics was war. Block. They were. That meant there was a lot more out there. In addition to looking at private collection at world war ii started reading county newspapers from all around the state. I did want to try to cover all areas of the state. I have succeeded to some degree but actually not as much as id like to because some towns where i thought there would be letters to the editor about publication from the boys overseas were not any. There could be just to the addition of the paper to get a microfilm that was not the addition that had the letters. The different additions used to be. I do not know if early on if there are two or three editions of the paper. I did the best i could. I found some wonderful letters. I tried to have men who served, i found a lot o
