To avoid extinctions and other harms to ecological health from escalating climatic change, scientists, resource managers, and activists are considering and even engaging in "assisted migration" -- the intentional movement of an organism to an area in which its species has never existed. This article explores the profound implications of climate change for American natural resource management through the lens of this controversial adaptation strategy. It details arguments regarding the scientific viability and legality of assisted migration under the thicket of laws that govern natural resources in the US. The article explains why contemporary natural resource law's fidelity to historic baselines, protecting preexisting biota, and shielding nature from human activity is increasingly unte...

BL: From the very beginning including with his (former) pastor, (Rev. Jeremiah Wright) Obama has been criticized by Blacks. The civil rights leaders, for example, Jesse Jackson Jr., Andrew Young and John Lewis, some of the dominant figures in our history who worked with [Martin Luther King Jr.] and helped to bring about changes, were also some of the outspoken critics of Obama when he was running for president. So this is nothing new for him, the fact that people are able to express their opinions. Personally I was always in favor of Barack Obama because I like the style, the demeanor; he displayed the kind of philosophy that I saw in Martin, the way you respond to your critics. His public approach would approximate King more than any of the others.

History records Crispus Attacks as the first to die in the Revolutionary War but was he a conscripted soldier, was Attacks right in his fight? Was he really fighting for "his" freedom in that war? Peter Salem and Paul Whipple also fought during that war. However, Nat Turner was definitely not fighting as a conscripted soldier, but he was definitely fighting for "his" freedom. Shouldn't Turner be heralded the same way that Attacks is? History shows that Turner was "really" fighting for "his own" freedom? The difference between those two men was the mindset; and that is, who and what did they believe they were fighting for? The answer can be ascertained through the chronicles of the life of the Black soldier. He has fought in every American War, often for someone else's freedom only to be...

According to the Oxford American Dictionary, immigrants are people who immigrate or "come as a permanent resident to a country other than one's native land." Perhaps it will be the immigration issue that awakens African Americans and elevates the struggle, encompassing civil rights, through mainstreaming an American Human Rights Movement. Why? African Americans are the only people to arrive on these shores who have remained here for more than the last 400 years who have not been accorded immigrant status, a right of passage for all other Americans save for the special status given to surviving Native American tribes. American immigration history includes the giving of land by colonial and later local, state, and national governments to any immigrant who happened to be white. American "m...

For example, the first African-American to win a Pulitzer Prize, poet Gwendolyn Brooks, was a Topeka native. Scientist George Washington Carver, although not born in Kansas, spent many of his formative years in several cities near Topeka, as did author Langston Hughes. Famed photographer Gordon Parks was born just a stone's throw away from the city in 1912.
