The Continuing Relevance of America's Eugenic Legacy
March 29, 2017
Paul A. Lombardo
The history of eugenics is often characterized as a cautionary tale of life in the bad old days, when pseudoscientific assumptions about genetic determinism provided a respectable veneer that enabled barely submerged racism, xenophobia, and blatant discrimination against persons with disabilities to take root in American law. Some argue that, today, our science is sound, our attitudes enlightened; we need not be hobbled by fear of long-expired bad eugenic habits.
In this Medical Center Hour, Paul Lombardo, who has written extensively on eugenics and the law in America, challenges such assumptions, asserting that the same tendencies that led to a century of eugenic law and policy continue to inform our public debate over democratic values and the proper role of science as a tool for solving social problems.

SUMMARY
=======
Jubal Anderson Early (November 3, 1816 – March 2, 1894) was a Virginia lawyer and politician who became a Confederate general during the American Civil War. Trained at the United States Military Academy, Early resigned his U.S. Army commission after the Second Seminole War and his Virginia military commission after the Mexican-American War, in both cases to practice law and participate in politics. Accepting a Virginia and later Confederate military commission as the American Civil War began, Early fought in the Eastern Theater throughout the conflict. He commanded a division under Generals Stonewall Jackson and Richard Ewell, and later commanded a corps. A key Confederate defender of the Shenandoah Valley, during the Valley Campaigns of 1864, Early made daring raids to the outskirts of Washington, D.C. as well as far as York, Pennsylvania, securing money and supplies which delayed the Confederate surrender for several months. After the war, Early fled to Mexico, then Cuba and Canada, and upon returning to the United States took pride as unrepentant rebel. Particularly after the death of Gen. Robert E. Lee in 1870, Early delivered speeches establishing the Lost Cause, as well as helped found the Southern Historical Society and memorial associations.

SUMMARY
=======
John Singleton Mosby (December 6, 1833 – May 30, 1916), also known by his nickname, the Gray Ghost, was a Confederate army cavalry battalion commander in the American Civil War. His command, the 43rd Battalion, Virginia Cavalry, known as Mosby's Rangers or Mosby's Raiders, was a partisan ranger unit noted for its lightning-quick raids and its ability to elude Union Army pursuers and disappear, blending in with local farmers and townsmen. The area of northern central Virginia in which Mosby operated with impunity was known during the war and ever since as Mosby's Confederacy. After the war, Mosby became a Republican and worked as an attorney and supported his former enemy's commander, U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant. He also served as the American consul to Hong Kong and in the U.S. Department of Justice.

The Undiscovery of Cosmic Deceleration | Robert P. Kirshner || Radcliffe Institute
Robert P. Kirshner, the Clowes Research Professor of Science in the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences, set out to find the deceleration of the expansion of the universe, only to find something else: amazingly, the measurements showed the expansion of the universe to be speeding up. The astonishing (un)discovery of cosmic acceleration has now been confirmed from many directions—and attributed to a “dark energy” that dominates the universe, whose nature is a deep mystery at the heart of physics.

African American Doctors of World War I
Historians W. Douglas Fisher and Joann H. Buckley discuss their book, African American Doctors of World War I: The Lives of 104 Volunteers. Inspired by his grandfather's diaries and letters, Fisher and Buckley share the stories of the doctors who cared for the 40,000 men of the 92nd and 93rd Divisions, the Army's only black combat units.They bring to light a significant yet overlooked story of African American achievements in World War I. The book was also inspired by the biographical research the authors did for Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s African American National Biography. In addition to their meticulous research in newspapers and military records, Fisher and Buckley interviewed the doctors' descendants and examined family letters and keepsakes.
The doctors began their war service with their assignment to the Medical Officers Training Camp (Colored) at Ft. Des Moines, Iowa--the only one in U.S. history and formed July 1917. From there, they were assigned to one of two divisions. The 92nd Buffalo Division fought under American command, primarily as support troops; soldiers of the 93rd served with France's 4th Army, where they experienced a relative lack of racism for the first time in their lives. Some of the doctors profiled rose to prominence after the war; others died young or later succumbed to the economic and social challenges of the times. In addition to being physicians, many became community and civil rights activists. Fisher and Buckley provide an historical and personal account of the lives of these American heroes.
