In 1500 Spanish sailing ships began hauling gold from South America to Spain. Trade winds caused them to sail near the western coast of Florida, where pirates learned to gather to prey upon them. Thus it was that for 300 years the western coast of Florida became infamous as a pirate lair. We explore this, finding a unique cultural enigma. To have lived in the periods between 1500 and 1800 was not easy. Life was often unjust, hard, brutal, and short. Especially if you were poor. Yet in the midst of this period of injustice and cruelty, the unique practice of piracy created opportunities for ...

They invited a multiracial team of fourteen scholars to join in, thus launching the Dialogue on Race and Faith Project.

What is a Half-Jew? Neither this nor that. Practically synonymous with confusion, Half-Jew is a term for people stuck in no-man's land, not quite fitting in with Gentiles nor universally accepted as Jews. Some say there is no such thing, denying many their legitimate heritage and innate pull toward the same culture, ancestry and religious equivalence as those with Jewish matrilineage. Those born of a Jewish father and non-Jewish mother are often lost, searching for a true identity. D.M. Miller makes a compelling case to prove the doubters wrong. In analyzing religious arguments, medical and...

In his final speech "I've Been to the Mountaintop," Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his support of African American garbage workers on strike in Memphis. Although some consider this oration King's finest, it is mainly known for its concluding two minutes, wherein King compares himself to Moses and seems to predict his own assassination.

MacArthur led a 50-year career through some of the most difficult times in our nation's history, yet he never failed us. His Island-Hopping Campaign in the Pacific, his autocratic but benevolent rule over Japan that rebuilt their country into our great ally, his genius ...
