Wonders Of The African World - Behind The Scenes Gates has been described as the most notable scholar of africanamerican studies in the At Harvard, Gates has revived a black studies department which http://www.pbs.org/wonders/BehindSc/behind.htm
Extractions: For centuries, the history of much of Africa has been hidden from the world, lost to the ravages of time, nature and repressive governments. Now, Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. uncovers an Africa most people never knew existed. In WONDERS OF THE AFRICAN WORLD WITH HENRY LOUIS GATES JR., Gates challenges the widespread Western view of Africa as the primitive "dark continent" civilized by white colonists. He shatters myths as he tells the true stories of proud lands filled with great civilizations, cities and centers of learning long before any Europeans set foot there. He also shares his poignant personal odyssey as an African American, the great-great-grandchild of slaves, returning to the cradle of black civilization. The six one-hour programs air on PBS Monday-Wednesday, October 25-27, 1999, 9:00 p.m. ET ( check local listings "I wanted to bring this lost African world into the consciousness of the larger public, black and white," says Gates, chair of Afro-American studies at Harvard and director of the W.E.B. DuBois Institute for Afro-American Research. "It's important to debunk the myths of Africa being this benighted continent civilized only when white people arrived. In fact, Africans had been creators of culture for thousands of years before. These were very intelligent, subtle and sophisticated people, with organized societies and great art." Filmed over 12 months in 12 countries, the series takes viewers on a journey through Africa past and present. WONDERS OF THE AFRICAN WORLD is filled with unforgettable images of the breathtaking beauty of the continent and its people: the thundering falls at the source of the Blue Nile, the empty sands of the Sudan stretching to the horizon, the clove-scented shores of Zanzibar, the friendly faces of vendors in small-town market squares and the regal visage of the Queen Mother of the Ashanti royal family in Ghana.

Extractions: Sharing with the competition Although their colleges compete to place graduates in plum jobs, from June 11 to 13 a group of elite liberal arts schools will convene at our Career Development Center (CDC) to discuss collaboration, increased use of technology, and ways to improve the level of service to students. Hosted by CDC director Phil Jones, the Liberal Arts Careers Network meshes twenty-five schools such as Hamilton, Carleton, and William and Mary so that these small institutions can share career development resources. Originally, the group was called the Barterbase Consortium and shared expertise in areas including law, marketing, and the environment. That group changed its name at last year's meeting at Hamilton College. 'Tis better to receive and give Graduating seniors received many gifts from proud families and friends last month, but they also gave a substantial present of their own to the College. This year's senior giving program yielded $4,698, which was donated by 72 percent of the class of 1997. The senior gift will support the Summer Internship Fund for undergraduates, supplementing student salaries for approved internship projects. Senior donors voted by ballot on which project to support, choosing from five options recommended by the development office. The senior giving program has been planned and run each year by students for at least the last quarter century, with the goal of giving something of lasting value back to Mount Holyoke as a gesture of thanks for the experiences and opportunities available to women here.

In both my writing and academic careers I've met, interviewed and been in the company of all kinds of notable people, I reminded myself. So I chalked up my fidgetiness to other factors: still being at the office at nearly 8 PM after a long day's work and laughably obliging my hunger with a dinner of flaky pretzel sticks washed down with lukewarm coffee. I was waiting for an interview with LeVar Burton. Now, I know he's in Hollywood and all, three hours behind Eastern Standard Time, and scheduled to call me from the set of Nemesis, the latest Star Trek movie. Plus, I know he's really busy shuttling between LA and Toronto, where he is directing Blizzard, a Christmas movie for next holiday season.
