• Introduction: The Library of Congress National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program

Since its inception in 2004, NDIIPP has grown from an experimental program into a true partnership of concerned organizations working together to sustain access to digital information that is critical to scholarship and cultural heritage nationwide. 1 The seeds for NDIIPP were initially sown in a report issued in July 2000 by the National Research Council titled LC21: A Digital Strategy for the Library of Congress.

• Building On the First National Reparations Congress

The First National Reparations Congress (NRC) was held in May 2004, in Compton California. Sponsors included the NRC National Planning Group. Reparations United Front (RUF) Los Angeles, and the Black Students Union of Compton College. (Reparations is a major issue. This column, fiist ran two years ago, is part of a nationwide effort to increase awareness and public discussion of its significance). The NRC was not a conference that wanted noted speakers to inspire more reparations activity, and it was not a gathering of the designated "leaders" of the national reparations effort to merely talk about how things are going. Instead, it was part of on-going strategy involving black folk who are actually doing the everyday work of advancing the reparations movement. The NRC planning committee...

• National Congress of American Indians Winter Session, Washington, Dc Executive Session Summary with President Tex G. Hall

NCAI PRESIDENT TEX G. HALL: I think mine in North Dakota are. I am meeting with them today. I am touching base with Jeri Small from the Northern Cheyenne and John Moralis and Kaleb Shields from Fort Peck. Rocky Boy's Jonathan Windy Boy was here who's councilman and a state legislator for that tribe - they had meetings with Conrad Burns and Max Baucus both. I am pretty comfortable that they are going to work for that resolution to support that one year moratorium and allow tribes in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains to develop agency tribal-specific plans, that's really the key of it. Of course we are really in a bipartisan manner looking to reach across both aisles but obviously the Dakotas with Senator Daschle and Conrad will be a real key. I had a short meeting with [Ross Swim...

• Bolivia's Rising Political Crisis

On Feb 28, 2008, two months after unsuccessful negotiations between Evo Morales' Movement Toward Socialism Party (MAS) and the opposition group PODEMOS, Bolivia's national congress approved the staging of two national referendums that were to be held on May 4, 2008.
