It seems as though every year a new major media project with a Native American Indian theme is broadcast on television or released in theaters. Most recently, the two largest productions, DREAMKEEPER (Hallmark for ABC Television, 2004) and INTO THE WEST (Turner Network Television, 2005) featured ensemble casts and introduced a number of native actors to the public. This year's standout offering is Terrence Malick's THE NEW WORLD (New Line Cinema), a major motion picture scheduled to be released to theaters nationwide on January 13.

The "eternal confusion about yams and sweet potatoes" can also be traced to these Africans in America, [Jessica B. Harris] says. Yams are native to the African continent, while sweet potatoes - a distinct root vegetable - are indigenous to America. However, Africans continued to use dieir own vocabulary for the tubers they saw in America, and eventually "yam" became another word for sweet potato in the South. Through World War II, "African Americans' culinary abilities," Harris writes, "continued to provide a springboard to financial success and community growth." Long before Oprah Winfrey, in 1947 Lena Richard became the first African American woman with her own television show - a cooking show. And Freda DeKnight was named food editor of Ebony magazine in 1 946, and quickly rose to na...

He also lets us know, as the Black Freedom Movement used to say, "freedom ain' free". It requires, he says, faith, hope, unity, work, prayer, struggle, sacrifice and steadfastness, but especially a deep rooted faith (Imani). Thus, he says, 6twith this faith we will be able to work together,.to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing we will be free one day". King ends with a hommage to freedom, calling for it to ring and take root everywhere for everyone, from Harlem to Haiti, Alabama to Africa, New Orleans to Native America, and Pittsburg to Palestine. Only then, he says, will we be able to join hands, sing and say in the tradition of our ancestors, "Free at last! Thank God Almighty, free at last! Continuing, King refers t...

By pulling back from direct political involvement in the region, the U.S. government created an opening for Latin American social movements of small farmers, trade unionists, human rights activists and urban poor to organize and elect new leadership. Their efforts have been bolstered by the failure of the policies that the U.S. government has pushed in the region-fighting drugs and expanding free market reforms. On drugs, the U.S. governments attempt to crack down on Latin American suppliers was key to the rise of Bolivia's newly elected president, Evo Morales. A native Aymara and leader of the country's coca farmers union, Morales is a staunch opponent of U.S. coca crop eradication programs. Although the coca plant is used to produce cocaine, for Bolivians coca in its natural form is a...
