VIEWPOINT: Pope Visits the U.S. & Cuba
Pope Francis recently wrapped up his first visit to Cuba and The United States – touring Washington DC, New York and Philadelphia. To some, the Pontiff’s visit was unquestionably successful. To others, the Pope received mixed reviews. He condemns free market principles of economics and private property rights. His style is at times inconsistent with Catholic Dogma and Doctrine. Given that his influence extends far beyond practicing Catholics, what are the long-term takeaways? We will analyze some of his state-side addresses as well as his intentions for Cuba.

1965 DAM article on Dartmouth students, including some of these speakers, who were engaging in civil rights activism
Speaker Bios
Associate Professor of Sociology Denise Anthony, former Chair (2007--11) of the Sociology Department, currently serves as Research Director of Dartmouth's Institute for Security, Technology, and Society and as a Faculty Affiliate with the Center for Health Policy Research at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice. Her research interests include collective action and trust, economic sociology, and the sociology of health care.
Deeply moved by the Montgomery bus boycott and the Greensboro sit-ins, William Burton '65 participated in 1964 in voter registration work in the Mississippi Summer Project followup. This experience influenced him to remain actively involved in politics throughout his life. In 1991 he ran for and was elected as Town Supervisor of Ossining, New York. Though retiring after three two-year terms, he returned to political service in 2005 upon his election as a Westchester County Legislator. Outside of politics, Mr. Burton's career has included working and owning his own businesses in the publishing and printing industries in New York City.
Roger Daly '67 met Martin Luther King Jr. in 1962 when King spent a week at Groton teaching classes. Strongly influenced by this experience, he later joined the Civil Rights Movement as a volunteer field worker for SNCC in the Mississippi Delta and Selma, Alabama. During this time he was beaten twice and was jailed for standing on the courthouse sidewalk while accompanying Selma residents seeking to register to vote. An ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, Reverend Daly has been a pastoral minister for 41 years. He received his M.Div. from Gordon-Conwell Theological School and his M.Ed. in clinical psychology from the University of New Hampshire.
Dirk DeRoos '68 spent most of the first months of his freshman year not in Hanover, but in Neshoba County, Mississippi. He recalls this experience participating in civil rights work as being both defining and transformational. After graduating from Dartmouth, he earned his J.D. at Indiana University. He then went on active duty as an Army officer with the field artillery before entering private practice. Mr. DeRoos is currently a partner in the Denver office of the international law firm of Faegre Baker Daniels. His courtroom experience, in state and federal court at the trial and appellate levels, often involves claims under Title VII, the ADEA, the ADA, federal and state civil rights and pay statutes, and ERISA.
His experience in Mississippi with the DCU influenced Paul Stetzer '67 to become involved not only in the Civil Rights Movement but also in anti-poverty, anti-war, environmental, and women's and gay rights movements. His career in education has included work with the pre-school anti-poverty program Get Set (while there, he helped found a labor union for that organization's workers), as an environmental educator at the Schuylkill Valley Nature Center, and as a teacher of environmental science at the Germantown Friends School. He has more recently turned to documentary photography with a continuing project entitled Democracy Is Coming.
2017 AM: Executive Session: Beyond the African Burial Ground:
Cont. Anthropological and trans-disciplinary innovations in theory, methods, and technologies
The New York African Burial Ground Project that studied an 18th century African cemetery in downtown Manhattan always recognized its positioning within complex currents of a critical social history of scholarship and anthropological practice. Established in 1992, the Project synthesized mutual values of memorialization and research in a program empowered by New York’s “descendant community” seeking to disable white supremacy in anthropological constructions of African American memory. The result was an unparalleled, ethnically integrated, interdisciplinary research team led by African Americans. Together, descendant communities and the Project team realized ancestral reclamation and reburial, erection of a US National Monument and a Visitor Center, which continue to tell the stories of “enslaved Africans” in New York.
This Session considers the ongoing theoretical, methodological, and interpretive implications of ethical public engagement in anthropology, first prominently represented by the Project. Publicly engaged research designs and language, including “descendant communities,” continue to resonate in American archaeology, and beyond. We discuss scholarship and continued engagement on the once unique question, “what are the African cultural origins of African Americans and why do they matter?” How are emerging technologies and methods employed to answer these questions? What processes are shared by archaeological projects in the African Diaspora and by anthropologists engaging descendant communities? How do publicly engaged and activist anthropologies articulate with contemporary social movements? What does the African Burial Ground have to do with it? Beyond a retrospective, we focus on processes and products reflecting the current moment in the politics of the past, and theoretical and methodological implications for the future of anthropology.

SUMMARY
=======
John Fitzgerald Jack Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963), commonly referred to by his initials JFK, was an American politician who served as the 35th President of the United States from January 1961 until his assassination in November 1963. He served at the height of the Cold War, and the majority of his presidency dealt with managing relations with the Soviet Union. A member of the Democratic Party, Kennedy represented Massachusetts in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate prior to becoming president.
Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, the second child of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. and Rose Kennedy. He graduated from Harvard University in 1940 and joined the U.S. Naval Reserve the following year. During World War II, he commanded a series of PT boats in the Pacific theater and earned the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for his service. After the war, Kennedy represented the 11th congressional district of Massachusetts in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953. He was subsequently elected to the U.S. Senate and served as the junior Senator from Massachusetts from 1953 to 1960. While in the Senate, he published his book entitled Profiles in Courage, which won a Pulitzer Prize for Biography. In the 1960 presidential election, Kennedy narrowly defeated Republican opponent Richard Nixon, who was the incumbent vice president. At age 43, he became the second-youngest man to serve as president (after Theodore Roosevelt), the youngest man to be elected as U.S. president as well as being the first (and only) Roman Catholic to occupy that office.
Kennedy's time in office was marked by high tensions with communist states in the Cold War. He increased the number of American military advisers in South Vietnam by a factor of 18 over President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In April 1961, he authorized a failed joint-CIA attempt to overthrow the Cuban government of Fidel Castro in the Bay of Pigs Invasion. He subsequently rejected Operation Northwoods plans by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to orchestrate false flag attacks on American soil in order to gain public approval for a war against Cuba. In October 1962, U.S. spy planes discovered that Soviet missile bases had been deployed in Cuba; the resulting period of tensions, termed the Cuban Missile Crisis, nearly resulted in the breakout of a global thermonuclear conflict. Domestically, Kennedy presided over the establishment of the Peace Corps and supported the civil rights movement, but he was largely unsuccessful in passing his New Frontier domestic policies.
On November 22, 1963, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the state crime, but he was never prosecuted due to his murder by Jack Ruby two days later; Ruby was sentenced to death and died while the sentence was on appeal in 1967. Pursuant to the Presidential Succession Act, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as president later that day. Both the FBI and the Warren Commission officially concluded that Oswald had acted alone in the assassination, but various groups challenged the findings of the Warren Report and believed that Kennedy was the victim of a conspiracy. After Kennedy's death, Congress enacted many of his proposals, including the Civil Rights and the Revenue Acts of 1964. Kennedy continues to rank highly in historians' polls of U.S. presidents and with the general public. His average approval rating of 70% is the highest of any president in Gallup's history of systematically measuring job approval.

A lengthy summit about the abuse issue that's shaking the foundations of the Roman Catholic Church convenes this week. We'll preview what could come from this with a local religion scholar.
You've likely heard the names of several of the candidates seeking the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. The list of possible candidates is large and diverse -- and includes a number of long shots, like South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg. How does this millennial mayor -- a man with no Washington experience from the most Republican-leaning state in the upper Midwest, hope to become the Democratic nominee next year?
And, if you visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C., look on panel 32W, line 35. There you'll see the name James Patrick Witt. The oldest of six kids, Jim graduated in 1965 from Saint Edward High School in Lakewood. Less than four years later, on February 14, 1969, Lieutenant Witt lost his life while serving with the Marine Corps in Vietnam. Fifty years after his death, his family, former classmates, fellow marines and the girlfriend he wrote to religiously gathered to honor Jim Witt and his ultimate sacrifice.

The Hōkūle'a: Indigenous Resurgence from Hawai'i to Mannahatta
Copresented by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU and The New School
In the summer of 2016, the Hawaiian voyaging canoe Hōkūle‘a will be arriving to New York City—Lenape Territory—as a part of its worldwide voyage called Mālama Honua (to care for our earth). The Hōkūle‘a uses no modern navigational instruments, but instead ongoing Hawaiian creative practices that read the sun, moon, stars, clouds, winds, waves, and the patterns of a diversity of nonhuman species to find their way. The voyage is a part of a global movement for the resurgence of Indigenous knowledges, languages, and land-based practices that are ever needed in the production of alternative futures for this historical moment. This symposium, which took place on Thursday, March 31, 2016, was a means to think through possibilities existent when Indigenous “subjugated knowledges” chart new epistemes for the twenty-first century.
Panel 2 was hosted by New York University and featured Na'alehu Anthony (The Polynesia Voyaging Society), J. Kēhaulani Kauanui (Wesleyan University), Steven T. Newcomb (Indigenous Law Institute), and was moderated by Dean Saranillio (NYU Department of Social & Cultural Analysis).

How to Survive a Plague
David France discusses his telling of the history of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the U.S., a riveting, powerful telling of the story of the grassroots movement of activists, many of them in a life-or-death struggle, who seized upon scientific research to help develop the drugs that turned HIV from a mostly fatal infection to a manageable disease. Ignored by public officials, religious leaders, and the nation at large, and confronted with shame and hatred, this small group of men and women chose to fight for their right to live by educating themselves and demanding to become full partners in the race for effective treatments. Around the globe, 16 million people are alive today thanks to their efforts. Speaker Biography: David France is author of How to Survive a Plague and creator of the 2012 Academy Award-nominated film of the same title.
