Thirty Years After The "Long-Promised Day": Reflections And Expectations, Marcus H. Martins

BYU Studies

The announcement of the revelation in 1978, which extended the priesthood to all worthy Latter-day Saint men regardless of race, was celebrated as the arrival of a “long-promised day” (Official Declaration 2). Reflecting on the thirtieth anniversary of that revelation, I feel deep grati- tude to the Lord for sending me to earth in an age in which I would be allowed to hold the priesthood and work in his vineyard. The blessings and privileges my family and I have enjoyed in the Church in those three decades far exceeded any dreams we might have had prior to June 1978.

Language Death Within The Atlantic Group Of West Africa, George Tucker Childs

Applied Linguistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

This article presents an overview of the less widely spoken languages of the Atlantic Group (Niger-Congo), as representing the most seriously threatened language group in West Africa. Study of this group indicates that language endangerment is real and widespread. The basis for this claim comes from the literature on these languages, from personal research on the Atlantic languages dating back to 1984, and from recent and ongoing fieldwork on several highly endangered languages of Sierra Leone and Guinea.

The World That Made William Johnson, Timothy J. Shannon

History Faculty Publications

Readers of the Atlantic Monthly may have been taken aback when they received their December 2006 issue of that venerable journal of American arts and letters. In a pitch more appropriate to People or some other celebrity magazine, the Atlantic offered a list of "The 100 Most Influential Americans of All Time," and right there on the cover, posing as eye-candy for the intelligentsia was none other than #1 himself, Abraham Lincoln, the sexiest most dead American alive, or something like that. Had the high brow finally gone low brow? Had pop culture's fascination with list-making found a new frontier? …

Emerson's Transparent Eyeball, Lois M. Eveleth

Faculty and Staff - Articles & Papers

In his early essay "Nature" Emerson lays the foundation of the Transcendentalist or Romantic movement in America. Key is his "transparent eyeball" passage, where "eye" refers to the human role in Nature, i.e. creatively perceiving or knowing Nature. Man is Nature knowing itself.

Flarr Pages #61: Murder And Mayhem... And How To Teach Them, Thomas C. Turner

FLARR Pages

A good question for speculation is, "By the age of 18 how many serial killers and assassins have our young people seen? Very few, of course, unless you count the scores of fictional characters who are depicted every year on television and in films. They are, for some reason, a point of particular curiosity, and they are appearing in the literature of Spain. Perhaps the most well-known 20th century serial killer is Camilo Jose Cela's Pascual Duarte. Just how could these characters be approached in our classes?

Suburban Swamp: The Rise And Fall Of Planned New-Town Communities In New Orleans East, J. Souther

History Faculty Publications

This paper examines the emergence, development and abandonment of ‘new town’ communities in eastern New Orleans in the half century after 1957. Containing about two-thirds of the land area in the New Orleans city limits, much of it wrested from swamps using emerging drainage technologies, eastern New Orleans promised municipal leaders, planners and citizens an alternative to crowded city and sprawling suburb. This paper also considers how planners and many local citizens viewed planned communities in the eastern stretches of the city as an antidote to population exodus from New Orleans. It explores the influences, design characteristics, social planning aspirations …
