  • People, Events and Governance
    Prasanna Kumar Mishra
    These short pieces of writing on people, events and governance, due to my ineptitude, would appear disconnected. That makes an explaining necessary. In a sense, the pieces are windows to my belief system and, as such, indeed are connected to one another. I always believe that it is really a kindly world that has been gifted to us by God to live in and we need to reciprocate the...

  • The Multiracial Promise
    Gordon K. Mantler
    In April 1983, a dynamic, multiracial political coalition did the unthinkable, electing Harold Washington as the first Black mayor of Chicago. Washington’s victory was unlikely not just because America’s second city was one of the nation’s most racially balkanized but also because it came at a time when Ronald Reagan and other political conservatives seemed resurgent. Washingto...

  • Racism by Proxy
    Johnny Townsend
    Are you biased? Am I?The short answer is yes. We all are.Having bias isn’t a choice. We can’t avoid it. We prefer members of our religion, our country, our political party, and speakers of our native language. We’re taught bias by people who aren’t conscious of their biases, and we in turn unintentionally pass them on to others.So it’s not a 'sin' to be biased. It’s inevitable....

    In this new world of Covid prohibitions, there was little appetite for a measured approach. The political risk of criticism for an inadequate response was simply too great. My view was that the precautionary approach justified going hard early, but once the science was available, we had to start being guided by it, rather than by fear or political self-preservation.

They use those principles to encourage society with others in ways that ...
