Security Studies

A master strategist and tireless activist, Bayard Rustin is best remembered as the organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, one of the largest nonviolent protests ever held in the United States. He brought Gandhi's protest techniques to the American civil rights movement and played a deeply influential role in the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., helping to mold him into an international symbol of nonviolence.

Many governments are starting to talk about the introduction of Covid-19 passports. Some society members are very concerned about this, seeing the possibility of abuse of the data collected. Critics pointed to how YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter have de-platformed users who do not comply with their mindest. These mega tech companies have destroyed some businesses that they deem inappropriate. This has been very much pronounced in right-leaning news stations that have not agreed with the mainstream media.

On a steamy Monday evening in 1900, New Orleans police officers confronted a black man named Robert Charles as he sat on a doorstep in a working-class neighborhood where racial tensions were running high. What happened next would trigger the largest manhunt in the city’s history, while white mobs took to the streets, attacking and murdering innocent black residents during three days of bloody rioting. Finally cornered, Charles exchanged gunfire with the police in a spectacular gun battle witnessed by thousands.

And Be Free is a book about African-American progress in addressing civil rights through their military service. This book chronicles the sacrifice, the success, and the service of African Americans in the military and government from the Civil War into the 21st century. 

Judith Sevinç Basad empört sich - und stemmt sich vehement gegen die sich aufgeklärt wähnende Meinungsmache, gegen Denkverbote und Unschärfen in den Argumenten einer selbsternannten kulturellen Elite. Ist es denn, genau betrachtet, wirklich so, dass die "Privilegierten" den sozialen Aufstieg von Migrantenkindern verhindern? Kann nur eine Frau wissen, wie man Politik für Frauen macht? Ist "MeToo" eine durchgängig lautere Bewegung? Ist es im Kampf gegen Rassismus mit der Entmachtung des "alten weißen Mannes" getan?

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was one of the most important leaders of the movement to gain American women the vote. But, as Vivian Gornick argues in this passionate, vivid biographical essay, Stanton is also the greatest feminist thinker of the 19th century. Endowed with a philosophical cast of mind large enough to grasp the immensity that women's rights addressed, Stanton developed a devotion to equality uniquely American in character. Her writing and life make clear why feminism as a liberation movement has flourished here as nowhere else in the world.

Home is, in effect, the ideological autobiography of LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka. The two dozen essays that constitute this book were written during a five-year span - a turbulent and critical period for African Americans and Whites. The Cuban Revolution, the Birmingham bombings, Robert Williams’s Monroe Defense movement, the Harlem riots, the assassination of Malcolm X...each changed the way Jones/Baraka looked at America. This progressive change is recorded with honesty, anger, and passion in his writings.

Police who engage in torture are condemned by human rights activists, the media, and people across the world who shudder at their brutality. Stark revelations about torture by American forces at places like Guantanamo Bay have stoked a fascination with torture and debates about human rights. Yet despite this interest, the public knows little about the officers who actually commit such violence. Just Violence reveals the moral perspective of perpetrators and how they respond to human rights efforts.

Enterprise-grade servers, laptops, and desktops should be procured with a robust set of security artifacts, configurations, and capabilities. The security artifacts enable several risk mitigation techniques that should be used with an automated Acceptance Test process.

The focus of this book is to help you feel filled with courage and encouraged as you deal with issues in your life, work, and church safety and security activities. My hope is that this book, combined with your own prayerful meditation and introspective thinking, will give you the courage to live and serve in the line of duty, where that duty finds you.
