Although accounts of how race (and class) punctuated the elimination of African American midwives are well documented,6 this article further explores how downplaying the racial privilege of white midwives, medical personnel, and other figures in African American midwives' narratives has problematic implications for a contemporary midwifery movement that prides itself on inclusivity and its benefit to all women. INFLUENCES ON THE CONTEMPORARY MOVEMENT FOR MIDWIVES The continued emphasis on the narrative accounts of African American midwives within the history of not only midwifery in the United States but also African American culture and life opens up possibilities for important discussions of race and the effects of a legacy of racism that still affects contemporary midwives in thei...

This research examines the prosecutions of four noted libertarians: free love advocate Ezra Heywood; Dr. Edward Bond Foote, a well-known New York physician and medical publisher; two prominent free thought publishers, DeRobigne M. Bennett and Moses Harman; and the subsequent libertarian campaign for broad First Amendment protection for all citizens which ensued from their arrests and prosecutions. That individuals were putting forth a libertarian philosophy of free expression in the 1870s (albeit largely under the auspices of individual rights rather than the later interpretation of social benefits), demonstrates the formative period of modern First Amendment development occurred decades earlier than is often acknowledged. The research argues that these liberal thinkers, all too cogniza...

Assimilation through adoption is represented as a betrayal of one's race and a shirking of one's duty toward one's people.17 If the beliefs of both pro- and antislavery writers converged at the idea that whites were responsible for blacks' care, manifested either as paternalism in slavery or the liberal tradition in abolitionism, Harper's separatist solution rejects the model of care/dependence entirely and advocates blacks' independence.

A copyright system is designed to produce an ecology that nurtures the creation, dissemination, and enjoyment of works of authorship. When it works well, it encourages creators to generate new works, assists intermediaries in disseminating them widely, and supports readers, listeners, and viewers in enjoying them. If the system poses difficult entry barriers to creators, imposes demanding impediments on intermediaries, or inflicts burdensome conditions and hurdles on readers, then the system fails to achieve at least some of its purposes. The current U.S. copyright statute is flawed in all three respects. In this Article, I explore how the current copyright system is failing its intended beneficiaries. The foundation of copyright law’s legitimacy, I argue, is built on its evident ...
