New Reality Checks links
In the course of looking up stuff to comment on the NY Times article below I found two excellent resources … well, three if you look at it a certain way.
I'm going to be busy for a while. There are some specific things I want to set up pointers to, from these sites and the PBS site that supports the Race: The Power of an Illusion specials.
civilrights.org is a collaboration of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund. Its mission: to serve as the site of record for relevant and up-to-the minute civil rights news and information.
civilrights.orgHome to socially-concerned, issue-oriented original audio, video, and written programming, civilrights.org is committed to serving as the online nerve center not only for the struggle against discrimination in all its forms, but also to build the public understanding that it is essential for our nation to continue its journey toward social and economic justice.
Leadership Conference on Civil RightsThe Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (LCCR) was founded in 1950 by three giants of the civil rights movement: A. Philip Randolph, founder of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters; Roy Wilkins, Executive Secretary of the NAACP; and Arnold Aronson, a leader of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council. It is the nation's premier civil rights coalition, and has coordinated the national legislative campaign on behalf of every major civil rights law since 1957.
Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education FundFounded in 1969 as the education and research arm of the civil rights coalition, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund (LCCREF) promotes an understanding of the need for national policies that support civil rights and social and economic justice, and encourages an appreciation of the nation's diversity. LCEF initiatives are grounded in the belief that an informed public is more likely to support effective federal civil rights and social justice policies.
The Institute for Democracy StudiesThe Institute for Democracy Studies is a nonprofit, tax-exempt research and educational center devoted to the study of anti-democratic religious and political movements and organizations in the U.S. and internationally.
Founded in 1999 in New York City, IDS has a unique and extensive archive of primary source material. The Institute currently maintains research programs in three areas: law, religion, and reproductive rights.
The third is the American Civil Rights Review, which claims to be "Speaking Out For The New Civil Rights Movement By Supporting And Increasing The Influence Of America's Constitutional Infrastructure."
"The New Civil Rights Movement" is Newspeak for racist bastards. No link to them mofos.
