Vermont exceptionalism" - the view of the state as different from and superior to other states in its race relations - is "only a story we tell ourselves," in [Elise A. Guyette]'s estimation. It's the self-congratulatory product of historical amnesia, she suggests. The book notes, for example, that some black Vermonters remained enslaved for many years following the state's celebrated constitutional ban on slavery in 1777. But that's "no longer part of our historical memories," Cuvette remarks. "On this Hill," Guyette writes, "black and white neighbors would come to work together, pray together, and even loan each other farm animals when the need arose." She makes a case for at least limited exceptionalism when she adds, later in the book: "Even though racism was widespread in the Nort...

DETROIT, Mich., July 21 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following is the text of the keynote address by Marc H. Morial President/CEO National Urban League, at the COBO Center, Detroit, Mich., today (Part 4 of 4): Renewal demands a laser-like focus on economics. If the great scholar W.E.B. DuBois identified the color line as the challenge the 20th century, then the economic gap between blacks and whites, rich and poor, the haves, have-nots, and have mores is the challenge of the 21st century.

The exhibit discusses the color line, sometimes referred to as the "Gentlemen's Agreement," an unwritten rule stretching back to the 186Os that banned all black and minority players from professional teams before Robinson signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1945. It also includes a variety of negative promotional images from years past used to publicize the game and exclude minorities. I like that the exhibit had the courage to highlight some of the negative aspects of how black players were treated," said Sarah Patrick of Milton. "It is a good, honest look. [Hank Aaron] became one of the most notable figures in baseball by breaking Babe Ruth's home run record. The Museum of Science exhibit "Baseball as America" highlights this and discusses the opposition Aaron faced as a black baseb...

The United States' dream of winning a World Junior Hockey Championship gold medal on home ice is over, but Team USA still has a chance to do some things it has never done in this IIHF event. The Americans have never won medals back-to-back years in the tournament. They've never earned the honor of standing on their own blue line after a game and receiving a medal of any color in their four previous turns as the tournament's host.

[Joel A. Rogers] received accolades from far and wide as the book rose to the touchstone that it became. "A genuine treasure; I still insist that From Superman to Man is the greatest book ever written in English about the Negro," Dr. Hubert Harrison, a lecturer at New York City Board of Education at the time, said, about the J.A. Rogers masterpiece. According to W.E.B. DuBois, "No man [living] has revealed so many important facts about the Negro as J.A.Rogers." George W. Ellis, F.R.G.S. secretary of the United States Delegation to Liberia, said J.A. Rogers' From Superman to Man presents, "the broadest education of the races and the promotion of social accord and co-operation. This volume should be in every library and home in the country. The book is well written and the skilful managem...

In a groundbreaking study on professional career success, the author found that on average, professionals believed that they would be 35% more productive if they were in roles that fully leveraged their unique strengths and passions. According to his research, only about 5% of professionals say that they are currently in a role that leverages their strengths and passions every day. This represents an ocean of unfulfilled workers, and incredible amounts of untapped organizational potential. Working with well-regarded psychologists and other experts, the author designed and tested the Primary Color Assessment throughout the last eight years. Test results suggest where the intersection of your strengths and passions (your "primary color") lies -- in areas such as innovation, strategic lead...
