Calling attention to the importance o...
by Toivo Asheeke
On Nov. 4, 2008, world history was made. I say world history because this victory doesn’t just belong to the Democratic Party, African-Americans or the American people alone. This victory belongs to all those who have given up on or forgot about hope. It belongs to everybody who wishes to defy the odds and chase a dream that [...]

Let’s celebrate differences
by Chuck Yates
It’s probably worth pointing out something we all know but may have overlooked: not everyone at Earlham celebrated the Obama victory. I certainly did.
