Henry Beard Delany And Emma Beard Delaney, Brien Laing Feb 2003

Henry Beard Delany And Emma Beard Delaney, Brien Laing

Books

Henry Beard Delany and Emma Beard Delaney were two African-Americans who rose from the obscurity of an enslaved family to achieve distinguished success in their individual lives. A period of time does not portray a history. To achieve that, one needs ideas, theories, and assumptions. There must be a concept with a structure systematically laid out, which reaches points of view leading to firm conclusions that allow the recording of this history of two dynamic African-Americans. This study is an examination of two remarkable lives. Theirs is a story of dignified control over their destinies, displaying only rare flinching from …

Review Of Carl Djerassi, This Man’S Pill: Reflections On The 50th Birthday Of The Pill, Rose Holz Jan 2003

Review Of Carl Djerassi, This Man’S Pill: Reflections On The 50th Birthday Of The Pill, Rose Holz

Department of History: Faculty Publications

When I was asked to write a review of Djerassi’s recent book, This Man’s Pill, I had no idea what to expect. As a historian of birth control, I of course knew his name and his role in the development of oral contraceptives, but beyond that I knew little else. And so when his book arrived, I was surprised and also in many ways pleased, for this is not your usual academic publication but something quite different. Telling the story both of the Pill and his own life, Djerassi alternates between prose and verse, narration and dialog, ultimately giving concrete …

Of Sweet Harmony, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus Jan 2003

Of Sweet Harmony, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

A concert of music about music was the theme proposed for tonight's program, with a title taken from the lyric beauty of Act V of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. The scene describes the joys of listening to music and describes someone who is unable to enjoy music as "fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; the motions of his spirits are as dull as night, and his affections dark as Erebus; let no such man be trusted."
