It is unfortunate that in the great state of New York, unless you're selected by the Republican aristocracy, you're excluded from consideration for statewide office," [Michael Benjamin] told the Gleaner Extra. "I entered the race 14 months ago with a plan to create jobs, enhance homeland security, give poor people access to better education and health care, and to give the growing Hispanic community a voice in the United States Senate," stated Benjamin. "Regrettably, the state party bosses have actively blocked my efforts since day one without one meeting, discussion or explanation. "The party bosses in Albany forget that running for office in New York is a right, not a privilege," said Benjamin. "As a Hispanic, as a New Yorker, but most importantly, as an American, I am outraged to...

Johnson (a founder of Black Entertainment Television), explained that the event was meant to be more than simply a night out at the movies.

Economists often credit the phenomenal continued growth and development of Asian countries to the quality of their human resources, the talented and hard-working students and graduates of their educational systems, and the specific nature of those systems. These societies achieved universal primary and secondary education long ago and are now entering the era of massification of their tertiary sectors. It is possible that an Asian model of education is emerging. And if learning of basic skills is important, then it can be said that the "Asian model" is succeeding. Much of this success may have to do with what has been called "Asian values." To the degree that "culture learning" can take place, it is likely that some of these behaviors and/or practices can be emulated (as indeed they wer...

The traditional legal definition of citizenship in the U.S. is linked to the granting of full membership and access to political, social, and civil rights by the government, yet there are numerous examples of these rights not being granted to all people equally (Hernández-Truyol, 2005; Johnson, 2002a; Hernández-Truyol and Hawk, 2005).\n Our analysis focused more on cultural citizenship, but the narratives of our participants highlight that legal citizenship is a reality that shapes one's access to education, employment, and safety. A clear link to how one's legal status in this country affords certain legal rights is revealed in statements such as that of the kindergartener, fearing her mother would be sent back to Mexico, or of the university student mentors who told us of the amount ...
