Rabbi Marc Schneier offers us a view of the historical relations between African Americans and Jews in the United States. While relations had soured for a period of time, since then the bond has grown stronger between the communities and with the help of his good friend Russell Simmons, Rabbi Schneier has spearheaded cooperation between the two minority groups. All the while Rabbi Schneier looks forward to similar ties with the American Muslim community.

The eyes of the world turned to Washington, D.C. for the historical inauguration of the nation’s first African-American President, Barack Obama. Several million people descended on the nation’s capital for the right to say three words: I was there. We were some of the lucky ones amid the throngs who convened for a whirlwind of events leading up to the Inauguration. For our journey, Saturn provided the Automotive Rhythms team with a fleet of 10 Saturn VUE Hybrids. All were adorned with the message, “The road to change starts in your driveway,” which is where our inauguration adventures began.

Benin is the home of Voodoo. The ancient animist belief was taken by slaves from this tiny West African state to Haiti and New Orleans. Benin is the only country in the world that officially recognises Voodoo as a state religion, affording it the same national status as Christianity or Islam. But, as Unreported World reveals, Voodoo is trapping thousands in poverty and causing some families to sell their children in to slavery. Seen by its adherents as traditional belief that connects them to their land, culture and ancestors, Voodoo is a complex set of beliefs and obligations that, it is claimed, has helped enforce religious and social order for more than 4,000 years. However, as reporter Evan Williams and director James Brabazon discover, it is frequently perpetuated by threats, fear and even the kidnapping of young children

African-Americans involved in ministry and civil rights came together at the People's Inaugural Prayer Breakfast to intercede for President Barack Obama.

http://cricketdamage.blogspot.com Australia capitalised on some charitable South African fielding to set the Proteas a challenging 272 for victory in the opening one-day international at the MCG. After winning the toss, Australia reached 271 for eight in ideal conditions for batting on the back of half-centuries from international rookies Shaun Marsh and David Hussey. Marsh, who top-scored with a measured 79 off 97 balls, was the cornerstone of Australia's innings early before Hussey accelerated the home side's run rate, hitting 52 at better than a run a ball. The Proteas, however, gave several reprieves to the home side and will feel they could have restricted Australia to less than 250. Vaughn van Jaarsveld dropped two chances on his one-day international debut, grassing Ricky Ponting and Hussey, while Marsh was handed a lifeline by Neil McKenzie late in his innings.

Israel’s siege of Gaza, largely unseen by the outside world because of Jerusalem’s refusal to allow humanitarian aid workers, reporters and photographers access to Gaza, rivals the most egregious crimes carried out at the height of apartheid by the South African regime. It comes close to the horrors visited on Sarajevo by the Bosnian Serbs. It has disturbing echoes of the Nazi ghettos of Lodz and Warsaw. “This is a stain on what is left of Israeli morality,” I was told by Richard N. Veits, the former U.S. ambassador to Jordan who led a delegation from the U.S. Council for the National Interest Foundation to Gaza to meet Hamas leaders this past summer. “I am almost breathless discussing this subject. It is so myopic. Washington, of course, is a handmaiden to all this. The Israeli manipulation of a population in this manner is comparable to some of the crimes that took place against civilian populations fifty years ago.” The U.N. special rapporteur for human rights ...

This astonishing documentary investigates how an advertising slogan invented by Madison Avenue executives in 1948 has come to define our most intimate and romantic rituals and ideals. The Diamond Empire, which sent shock waves through the transnational diamond industry when it first appeared, systematically takes apart the myth that "diamonds are forever." It exposes how one white South African family, through a process of monopoly and fantasy, managed to exert control over the global flow of diamonds and change the very way we think about courtship, marriage, and love - an achievement all the more stunning given that diamonds are in fact neither scarce nor imperishable. Zeroing in on how "the diamond empire" managed to convert something valueless into one of the most coveted commodities in history, the film provides a riveting look at how marketing and consumer culture shape not only global trade and economics, but also our very identities.

This is a music video by the hip hop artist SEEIN from Miami. It is about reaching out for help with the goal of preventing suicide. At the end people are presented with the 1-800-SUICIDE hotline number run by hopeline.com. SEEIN and his label, Cleva Records, is donating 100% of the proceeds from "Try Again" to The Kristen Brooks Hope Center, the organization behind 1-800-SUICIDE. With a release date set for November 22nd to coincide with National Survivors of Suicide Day, "Try Again" provides hope and encouragement to seek help from depression and mental illness. It is a compelling song with an awesome beat and powerful lyrics. When I asked SEEIN why he was interested in promoting 1-800-SUICIDE he said, “I wrote this song because at one point in my life I was depressed, I’ve been there. There are great resources out there and I want people to be aware of them. Life is worth living, live!” In the last 10 years suicide rates for African-American males have risen 300%. For young ...
