@JackUlrich10 Yea it was and that gift turned into a punishment really fast.

The university really tried to transition from the Bronzeville location to Hyde Park in a way that did not lose much money and did not put them through much public scrutiny. Even though as pointed out in the article the ties to Stephen Douglas still existed. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Drew's thoughts @DW36284986]

The way Douglas treated the slaves he had and the way he let others he would hire to treat them as well as appalling. Especially considering that he was endowed with so much money and land after marrying into the Martin family. #AuburnWorldHistory

It was interesting to read the history of the University of Chicago and its founding under Stephen Douglas. I had before only knew of Stephen Douglas for the Kansas Nebraska Act and the guy who ran against Lincoln for Illinois senator. #AuburnWorldHistory

@abrnstudentmeg I personally do not like universities being too liberal-minded and pushing that on students. On the other hand, they should not be solely conservative-minded. There should not be a pushing of either one on students. #AuburnWorldHistory

Proponents of neoliberalism like Harvey want a complete change to the way things are in a capitalist society. They want to change the scope of labor and curb the influence of the corporate class. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Drew's thoughts @DW36284986]

Harvey uses baseless claims throughout the interview. One example is when he talks about how the Supreme Court made decisions in the 1970s that made it easier for the corporate capitalist class to buy elections. It's hard to find verifiable evidence for that. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Drew's thoughts @DW36284986]

Harvey describes neoliberalism as a political project put in motion bit by bit by the capitalist class. He describes that ideological, economic, and technological change put it forth. #AuburnWorldHistory

@jeonggyu3 Yea I agree. I really liked the satirizing way in which they depicted it. The acting and filming of the movie plays into the satire of it really well.

The ending with Dr.Strangelove talking about his ideas for the nuclear bomb was interesting to watch. It's crazy to think what the world would be like if mass nuclear weapons were actually used in the cold war. #AuburnWorldHistory

The war room, fighting, and flying was filmed in a funny and dramatic way that enhanced the mood of the movie #AuburnWorldHistory

[Drew's thoughts @DW36284986]

General Turgidson's six points about what the United States should do about Russia were very amusing to watch #AuburnWorldHistory

[Drew's thoughts @DW36284986]

@CreavenBethany Yea and specifically European countries in the 1800s were emphasized as being the culprits of splitting Africa into the way it is.

@austudent181 Yea but the article was not written in today's context and the state of the world today is much different than it was then. The validity of the protests of today versus the protests of that time is definitely something to think about too.

Dr. Chihombori Quao does point out why certain examples she uses are the way they are. The question becomes: what is the best way to make things better? #AuburnWorldHistory

[Drew's thoughts @DW36284986]

The boxing analogy used in the video is one that grabs your attention and makes you think about things a little differently. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Drew's thoughts @DW36284986]

Dr. Chihombori Quao makes some very eye-opening comments early in her speech about how European countries in the late 1800's came together and strategized on how "Africa and her children can be forever defeated and dominated " #AuburnWorldHistory

[Drew's thoughts @DW36284986]

How Collins felt about Stewart going after her name and her views #AuburnWorldHistory

[Drew's thoughts @DW36284986]

Ethel Collins and Elaine Cooper definitely had unique ideas about what people of African descent should do. I wonder what would have happened if there was a mass Western African emigration. #AuburnWorldHistory

[Drew's thoughts @DW36284986]

I did not expect the perspective of members of the communist party in relation to the state of race relations in the United States in the 1940s. The author brought in a lot of different perspectives on the issue in the article. #AuburnWorldHistory
