   Extractions: By 1960 government had become an increasingly powerful force in people's lives. During the 1930s, The White House had initiated legislation and worked closely with Congress to ease the trauma of the Great Depression. New executive agencies were created to deal with many aspects of American life. The number of civilians employed by the federal government rose from 1 million to 3.8 million during World War II, then stabilized at 2.5 million throughout the 1950s. Federal expenditures, which had stood at $3.1 thousand-million in 1929, increased to $75 thousand-million in 1953 and passed $150 thousand-million in the 1960s. Most Americans accepted government's expanded role, even as they disagreed about how far that expansion should continue. Democrats wanted the government to use its power to ensure growth and stability. They wanted to extend federal benefits for education, health and welfare. Republicans, while accepting government's basic and necessary responsibility, hoped to cap spending and restore a larger measure of individual initiative. KENNEDY AND THE NEW FRONTIER John F. Kennedy, Democratic victor in the election of 1960, was at 43 the youngest man ever to win the presidency. On television, in a series of debates with opponent Richard Nixon, he appeared able, articulate and energetic. In the campaign, he spoke of moving aggressively into the new decade, for "the New Frontier is here whether we seek it or not." In his first inaugural address he concluded with an eloquent plea: "Ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country." Throughout his brief presidency, Kennedy's special combination of grace, wit and style sustained his popularity and influenced generations of politicians to come.

Dominguez, Chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), announced the expansion of the Justice and Equality in the Workplace program, a highly successful public-private sector partnership to protect the employment rights of Latino immigrants. The initiative, created in July 2001 by the EEOC's Houston District Office, now enters Phase II with the participation of two more federal agencies and several Latin American consulates. The primary focus of the program is to educate and inform both immigrant employees and employers of their rights and obligations in the workplace. The newest members of the partnership are the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) Office of Special Counsel for Immigration Related Unfair Employment Practices, the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Consulates of Guatemala, El Salvador and Columbia (which represent nearly one million Latinos in the Houston area). Existing partners include the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), the Mexican Consulate, Houston Mayor Lee Brown's office, the Houston Catholic Diocese, and DOL's Wage and Hour Division.

   Extractions: The Rise of the Civil Rights Movement and Fall of Jim Crow The Origin of Jim Crow Jim Crow laws were named for an ante-bellum minstrel show character. The minstrel show is one of the first indigenous forms of American entertainment. The tradition began in February 1843 when a group of four white men from Virginia applied black cork to their faces and performed a successful song-and-dance act in a small hall in New York City. One of the earliest and most successful individual performers was Thomas Dartmouth "Daddy" Rice, who was a white actor inspired by an elderly (Black) in Louisville, Kentucky. Jim Crow Laws Plessy v. Ferguson . The Court held that separate accommodations did not deprive Blacks of equal rights if the accommodations were equal. In 1899, the Court went even further in Cumming v. Board of Education: Laws establishing separate schools for Whites were valid even if they provided no comparable schools for Blacks.

   Extractions: WASHINGTON, D.C. Nearly 600 Japanese Latin Americans who were interned during World War II will each be able to receive $5,000 and an apology under an agreement reached today with the Justice Department. Today's agreement resolves a 1996 civil suit filed by five Japanese Latin Americans who were deported from their homes in Latin America during World War II and held in internment camps in the United States. The five, who had been denied redress under the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, claimed that they deserved to be compensated along with Japanese American internees during the war. "This was a tragic chapter in the history of our nation," said Attorney General Janet Reno. "It's time to right this wrong and close the book."

    Extractions: U.S. support for 'state terror' in Latin America mutes us now Date published: CARLOS MAURICIO and Martin Almada can only marvel at the self-righteousness with which the United States has insisted on punishment for former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic. The two former political prisonersboth survivors of brutal torture at the hands of U.S.-backed thugsknow all too well of the United States' duplicity when it comes to bringing monsters like Milosevic to justice. While the United States has put on a good show in the Milosevic affair, it has helped stall the efforts of Mauricio and Almada to hold accountable the people they believe bear ultimate responsibility for human-rights crimes committed not only against them, but against hundreds of thousands of other Latin Americans. Mauricio and Almada sat on a bench in Lafayette Park across the street from the White House recently and recounted their stories of cruelty, terrorand U.S. complicity. In 1983, at the height of the civil war in El Salvadoras U.S. military aid and advisers were flowing into the tiny Central American country in proportion with the innocent blood being shed by government forces and their death squadsMauricio, then a biochemistry teacher at the El Salvador University, was yanked out of his classroom by men in civilian clothes. The goons handcuffed, blindfolded, and beat him in front of his students, then took him to a clandestine torture center at the National Police Headquarters, where he was interrogated and tortured for a week and a half. The security forces overseeing his interrogation accused him of being a guerrilla commandera charge Mauricio steadfastly denied.

The term race is used in a wide variety of contexts, with related but often distinct meanings. Its use is often controversial, largely because of the political and sociological implications of different definitions, but also because of disagreements over such issues as whether humans can be meaningfully divided into multiple races. The data indicate that there is one human species with variations comprising only aproximatly 1.5% percent of the DNA. The difference between any two groups is on average only 1/10th of a percent.

    Extractions: By Jeff Cohen and Norman Solomon It's become a TV ritual: Every year in mid-January, around the time of Martin Luther King's birthday, we get perfunctory network news reports about "the slain civil rights leader." The remarkable thing about this annual review of King's life is that several years his last years are totally missing, as if flushed down a memory hole. What TV viewers see is a closed loop of familiar file footage: King battling desegregation in Birmingham (1963); reciting his dream of racial harmony at the rally in Washington (1963); marching for voting rights in Selma, Alabama (1965); and finally, lying dead on the motel balcony in Memphis (1968). An alert viewer might notice that the chronology jumps from 1965 to 1968. Yet King didn't take a sabbatical near the end of his life. In fact, he was speaking and organizing as diligently as ever. Almost all of those speeches were filmed or taped. But they're not shown today on TV. Why?

    Extractions: A Brief History of Civil Rights in the United States of America The first permanent English colony in North America was founded at Jamestown, Virginia, in May of 1607. Twelve years later, in 1619, a Dutch ship sailed into the harbor at Jamestown and sold twenty African slaves to the Virginia colonists. Thus did "slavery" and "involuntary servitude," as they are referred to in the United States Constitution, come to the American South. Negro slaves, brought in chains from their original homelands in central and southern Africa, proved useful and profitable in what was to become the southern United States. The flat farmlands, served by meandering tidewater rivers, were ideal for creating large plantations for growing cotton and other agricultural products. The African slaves provided a cheap and reliable source of agricultural and household labor for the emerging southern economy. North of Virginia, where there were more hills and a harsher climate, the use of human slaves was not as successful. This part of the American colonies, the North, harnessed the labor of yeoman farmers and men and women working for wages. This created one of the great sectional differences of United States history - a group of southern states which relied heavily on slave labor and a group of northern states emphasizing the work and industry of free citizens.
