The End
of America, a new documentary from award-winning filmmakers
Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg (The Trials of Darryl Hunt, The Devil Came on
Horseback), based on Naomi Wolf’s 2007 book of the same name, details the ten
steps a country takes when it slides from an open to a closed society. It’s an
historical look at trends in once-functioning democracies from modern history
that are being repeated in our country today. It gives any reader (or viewer of
the lecture or film) a much-needed history lesson and constitutional refresher.
Most importantly, it puts the recent, gradual loss of civil liberties in the
U.S. in a historical context. The average American might not be alarmed at
AT&T selling our private information to the Bush administration, but when
this action is seen as part of a larger series of erosions and events, a pattern
emerges with unfortunate consequences that become disturbingly clear.

Rights of native Nicaraguans topic of Brown Bag
Dr. Eric Rodrigo Meringer |
FREDONIA, N.Y. — — Dr. Eric Rodrigo Meringer,
assistant professor of History at SUNY Fredonia, will present a lecture
entitled, “From Civil Rights to Indian Rights: Negotiating Citizenship
in Nicaragua,” on Wednesday, Nov. 5, at noon in S-104 of the Williams
Center. The talk, part of SUNY Fredonia’s Brown Bag Lecture as well as
its Convocation series, is free and open to the public.
Dr. Meringer’s talk addresses a crucial and often overlooked aspect
of human rights debates: the rights of indigenous peoples not to be
subjected to forced assimilation, as well as their concurrent right to
all levels and forms of education offered by the State.
