Reporter William Thomas, who died last week, lived through the Watergate era when journalism schools were telling reporters to follow the money. Thomas was more likely to follow his own heart. He had a healthy respect for facts and hidden agendas. He was entrusted with stories as critical as the civil rights movement, hurricanes slamming into the Gulf Coast, the impact of Elvis Presley's death and the war in Vietnam. It was no small measure of his sensitivities that he won an Ernie Pyle award for the war stories.
In his May 6 column, Leonard Pitts Jr. accuses the Christian church of remaining silent about the Holocaust, the civil rights movement, AIDS and the use of torture. However, Pitts overlooked the historical facts. Three-thousand Protestant pastors in Germany joined to form a unified Christian opposition to Hitler. One concentration camp alone, Dachau, records holding nearly 3,000 Catholic priests for their opposition to Hitler. Israeli consul Pinchas Lapide estimated that the Church rescued about 860,000 Jews from the Nazis. In 1940, Albert Einstein criticized the silence of Germany's newspapers and universities: "Only the Church," he said, "stood squarely across the path of Hitler's campaign for suppressing the truth.

The editorial pages of the Redlands Daily Facts have been sprinkled lately with Tea Party and "Christian" opposition to Senate Bill 48, the FAIR Education Act. The paranoia concerning textbook inclusions on the history of Americans with disabilities and on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender accomplishments is flawed and unwarranted hysteria. When I first began teaching social studies in 1973 the new textbooks used for American history included the accomplishments of women, Hispanics, African Americans, Native Americans and other ethnic groups for the first time. The history was not part of the text but included in sidebars. It took textbook companies years to respond to the civil rights movement and the corresponding improved books began to arrive in the 1980s. Still most textbooks ...

REDLANDS - When University of Redlands Chaplain John Walsh contacted activist Diane Nash to deliver the 2011-12 Cummings Peace Lecture on campus Tuesday about her involvement with the 1960s Civil Rights Moment, chills ran down his spine. Her talk, "The Non-violent Movement of the 1960s: A Legacy for Today," will take place at 7 p.m. in the Memorial Chapel of UofR at 1200 E. Colton Ave.
Sengstacke gave an equally rousing address on the power of leadership "through the printed word." Sengstacke encouraged the jam-packed audience to recognize that "leadership is in every form of life and society." He gave examples how under the leadership of publishers such as Chicago Defender founder Robert S. Abbott, John H. Sengstacke and William L. Dawson and others the medium of the Black Press provided a catalyst for the Great Black Migration and the Civil Rights Movement. He pointed out that the crucial issues affecting the lives of African Americans are in many instances overlooked by mainstream media and that the BlackPress "keeps [these] stories alive.
