Right before the 21 February ouster of Yanukovych, in the 2014 Ukrainian revolution, <mask> claims he and the Right Sector leadership was consulted by Yanukovych on the deal Yanukovych had signed with the opposition to end Euromaidan. Yarosh refused to endorse this agreement and refused to disarm Right Sector.In the aftermath of the collapse of Yanukovych's regime, <mask> demanded to be appointed Vice Prime Minister for the law enforcement matters, but his demand was rejected; he was offered a post of the Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine instead, but <mask> rejected this position as being beneath him. There were discussions of appointing Yarosh deputy head of the Security Service of Ukraine, but these discussions quickly petered out for unknown reasons. On 20 April 2014, <mask> <mask> claims he was ordered by acting President Oleksandr Turchinov to lead 20 Right Sector members to sabotage an insurgent-controlled television tower in Sloviansk, leading to the first combat fatalities in the Siege of Sloviansk. <mask> denied his role in these events until two years later. <mask> was a candidate in the 25 May 2014 Ukrainian presidential election.

But in the election they won not enough votes to clear the 5% election threshold and thus no parliamentary seats.The party did also not win a single-mandate constituency parliamentary seat. On November 2, 2021, <mask> said on social media he had been appointed Adviser to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhnyi. In response to a (December 2021) request by Ukrayinska Pravda the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine refused to disclose details of its alleged cooperation with Yarosh citing the confidentiality of the information requested. Prior to this request the (army) post of public advisers had been liquidated. Personal life
<mask> met his wife Olha, who Yarosh claims
was his first love, in elementary school. The couple married in 1993 and has 3 children: daughters Anastasya and Jarina and son <mask>. On 11 March 2014 grandson Nazar was born.<mask> was baptized in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, (he claims) because "Then there was no other."

Yarosh calls himself a follower of Stepan Bandera
<mask> proposed to ban the Party of Regions of Ukraine, as well as the Communist Party of Ukraine. He considers Russia as a main adversary of Ukraine, although he also has little patience for Western influence on Ukraine either. The Spiegel Online reported: "For years, Yarosh has been fighting for the "de-Russification" of Ukraine ... He believes that "anti-Christian" powers are afoot in the European Union and that Brussels forces people into lifestyles such as gay marriage. ...He doesn't see Europe or NATO as a potential partner and has stated that the US is also part of an "anti-Ukrainian front"." Yarosh has denied

 allegations of anti-Semitism, but in a book he wrote "I wonder how it came to pass that most of the billionaires in Ukraine are Jews?" "For all the years of Ukraine's independence, Russia has pursued a systematic, targeted policy of subjugation toward Ukraine ... So of course we will prepare for a conflict with them, ...If they stick their faces here like they did in Georgia in 2008, they'll get it in the teeth." "Sooner or later, we are doomed to fight a war with [the] Moscow empire." "We're not using oligarchs' money in politics, but when a war is on, we do not object to their funding the army." Public image
Yarosh is a controversial figure.In Russia's state-run media he has been described as a "radical nationalist". Mainstream Western media has generally called him a radical or extreme nationalist. Some mainstream and left-wing sources have denounced him as a "fascist". Reactions in Russia
On 12 March, an editor of privately owned Lenta.ru website, Galina Timchenko, was fired by the company's owner Alexander Mamut for publishing a link to an interview with Yarosh he gave two days earlier, after Russian media regulatory agency Roskomnadzor formally warned the Lenta.ru website for publishing this link. In this interview <mask> said: "Sooner or later, we are doomed to fight a war with [the] Moscow empire". Criminal charges
On 1 March 2014 Right Sector's page on Russian online social networking service VKontakte showed an entry with <mask> Yarosh's alleged appeal to Dokka Umarov, a Chechen militant guerrilla leader associated with Al-Qaeda, for support of Ukraine. On 2 March 2014, Right Sector's spokesman Art Skoropadskyi denied the message was posted and approved by Yarosh.According to the spokesman, this alleged appeal to Umarov appeared on Right Sector's VKontakte webpage after one of its administrator's accounts was hacked.

At the age of 20, Baldock became the youngest player ever to captain Tasmania. A ready-made superstar, Baldock ventured across Bass Strait in 1962 to play for St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL), where he had an instant impact. Baldock played at centre half-forward and was made captain of St Kilda's "Team of the Century" in 2002, and named as the initial "legend" in the St Kilda Football Club Hall of Fame in 2003.

<mask> (born April 27, 1953 in Phoenix, Arizona) is an American former Grand Prix motorcycle road racer. He is notable for being the first American to win a 500 cc World Championship race, the 1976 500cc Finnish Grand Prix. Competing as a non-factory rider, he finished third overall in the GP World Championship standings that season, only 2 points behind runner-up Tepi Länsivuori and fellow Suzuki factory rider Barry Sheene. When competing in the 1978 Isle of Man TT races, he suffered career-ending injuries after recording the first ever sub-20 minute lap on a 500 cc Suzuki in the Senior TT. Early racing career

<mask> began his career racing in dirt track AMA District 36 dirt track racing events in Northern California. In 1973, he was teamed with John Gennai and later Rick Hocking riding Steve Doi-sponsored bikes, both of whom went on to AMA Pro National Championship Series dirt track racing. Hennen's dirt track success earned him the support of Suzuki factory road racer Ron Grant, who mentored Hennen and played a key role in helping him build a successful pro road race career.Hennen switched from professional dirt track to road racing full-time in 1973, but occasionally competed in selected AMA dirt track races, believing that his dirt track experience gave him a distinct advantage in road racing. Early pro career

In 1974, Hennen won all but one race of the AMA's Junior Road Race National Championship Series, earning him a spot on U.S. Suzuki's factory road race team for the 1975 season, alongside teammate and multi-time AMA National Champion Gary Nixon. At the end of the ’75 season, the U.S. national gas crisis severely impacted all forms of motorsports in the U.S., prompting U.S. Suzuki to shut down its factory road race team for the following season. Riding as a privateer in 1976, Hennen rode an ex-factory Suzuki TR750 to third overall in the Daytona 200, the first time a Suzuki had finished in the top 3 at Daytona. Riding a production

Hennen moved to the European Grand Prix circuit after Daytona in 1976, competing as a privateer in the 500cc World Championships series on a production Suzuki RG 500. He also competed in the fledgling Formula 750 series on the same ex-factory TR750 he rode at Daytona that year.The 500cc World Championships were the highest level of professional road racing during that era. After a slow start to the season learning to compete on the GP circuits, Hennen finished runner-up in the Dutch GP at Assen, behind Sheene and ahead of multi-time World Champion Giacomo Agostini. From that race on, Hennen consistently finished in the top three and won his first GP, the Finnish GP, behind the legendary Finnish rider Länsivuori, who later became Hennen's mentor. Länsivuori was responsible for Hennen's adopting the style of riding made popular by Länsivuori and fellow legendary Finnish rider Jarno Saarinen, where they stayed very low while hanging off the side of the bike dramatically when cornering, their knee lightly dragging over the tarmac. Having established himself as one of the top three GP riders in ’76 earned Hennen a position on Suzuki Japan's factory GP road race team for 1977, teamed with newly crowned 500cc World Champion Sheene and fellow Brit Steve Parrish, now a TV motorsports commentor. Hennen's many often contentious battles on and off the track with Sheene were widely publicized in the world press. A sports fan poll conducted by a major UK newspaper in 1977 found that Hennen was the second most recognized American athlete worldwide, behind tennis player John McEnroe.Sheene was unhappy about being teamed on a British-based team with a young American who was a clear threat. Hennen's bid for the 1977 World Championship was spoiled by a 170 mph crash at the Italian GP, at Imola, two laps after

 he took the lead in the race. The leg injury he sustained also cost him points at the next two GPs, but he regained his form by season's end, winning the 1977 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, the first ever GP held on the British mainland. Beatle George Harrison and his wife hosted the victory dinner for Hennen and the rest of the Suzuki factory team after his Silverstone win. Harrison and Ringo Starr were close friends of Sheene and regularly attended GP events as VIP guests of the Suzuki GP team. Hennen followed that win up by winning the Race of Year at Mallory Park. Sheene won the opening round at Caracas, Venezuela, and Hennen the next round at Jarama, Spain, in convincing style, followed by Roberts, who then took the next round, at Nogaro, France.The title had become a two-man battle between Hennen and Roberts, with Sheene consistently finishing behind the two. At midseason, Roberts led Hennen by 3 points, with Sheene some distance back. With the most challenging GP circuits ahead of them, Hennen had become the odds-on favorite of many GP racing cognoscente to win the World Championship. But Hennen's title chase came to an end when he suffered a career-ending crash at the 1978 Isle of Man TT, regarded as the world's most dangerous circuit. He had just recorded the first ever sub-twenty-minute lap in TT history when he clipped a curb at 160 m.p.h. There was a suggestion at the time that he had struck a bird although this is now considered an unfounded rumor. The horrific crash caused injuries that ultimately led to his retirement from racing.[3] Roberts was later quoted as saying, “I had everyone covered in ’78 but <mask>n.”

Car racing career

In 1976, after recording his first win on the European continent at a national race at the Österreichring circuit, Austria, Hennen was introduced to the head of the BMW car factory's fledgling driver development program. After turning in an impressive test drive at the Österreichring in a

 Formula Ford, Hennen was signed to a three-year development driver contract. Whenever his Grand Prix motorcycle schedule would permit it, Hennen started competing in car races to learn how to race first closed wheel and then open wheel race cars. He finished second overall in the Saturday round of the 1977 Formula Ford Festival, at Brands Hatch, England, competing against Chico Serra and Nigel Mansel, who later became front-running F1 drivers. Other racing successes
 Won the 1977 Race of the Year, at Mallory Park, the biggest "national" race in the UK during the 1970s. Top points scorer at the 1978 Transatlantic Trophy match races, ahead of Kenny Roberts, scoring three wins, two seconds and a third. Won the New Zealand Marlboro series three consecutive years (1974–75, 1975–76 and 1976–77), riding Suzuki TR500, TR750 and RG500 machines.The South Pacific's most prestigious road race series during the ‘70s, the Marlboro Series was run over five seasons. Honors and awards
 Hennen was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2007. In the GP/MotoGP racing’s record books, Hennen is still ranked in the top 10 in podium finishes, along with other legendary GP riders like Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, Sheene and Roberts. Personal life today

Hennen resides in Northern California, in the San Francisco Bay Area, and regularly attends GP Legends and Vintage Race Motorcycle events around the world. He has returned to the Isle of Man twice since his career-ending crash there. Grand Prix career statistics

<mask>, 11th of Strathnaver (died 1550), was the eleventh chief of the ancient Clan Mackay, a Scottish clan of the Scottish Highlands. Early life
<mask> was the second eldest son of Iye Roy Mackay, 10th of Strathnaver, and his wife who was the daughter of Norman, son of Patrick O'Beolan of Carloway, Lewis. <mask>'s elder brother, John Mackay, 11th of Strathnaver, died in 1529 without legitimate male issue and therefore <mask> was able to succeed him as chief of the Clan Mackay. Alliance with the Clan Forbes and Clan Campbell
In around 1529 <mask> of Strathnaver assisted the Master of Forbes (of Clan Forbes) and Sir John Campbell of Cawdor during a feud in which Alexander Seaton of Meldrum was killed. Historian Angus Mackay states that it is with interest that at this time the Mackays and Forbeses who claim to have sprung from the same kindred stock in the distant past, are found acting in concert. It was probably for the death of Seaton of Meldrum that Mackay obtained a pardon for himself and his Strathnaver clansmen dated 26 July 1536. In July 1537, the Master of Forbes and his sister-in-law, Janet Douglas, Lady Glamis, sister of Douglas, Earl of Angus, were both executed for conspiring against the king.Associated with Lady Glamis was one Alexander Makay who was sentenced to be banished from all parts of Scotland except for the county of Aberdeen. Sir John Campbell of Cawdor, brother of the Earl of Argyll, who had been associated with the Mackays and Forbeses in the killing of Seaton, also killed Maclean of Duart (chief of Clan Maclean) in bed in about 1529. Maclean had left his wife, Lady Elizabeth Campbell, exposed to

 certain death on a lonely sea-girt isle. The killing of Maclean resulted in a prolonged feud between the Macleans and the Campbells in which the Mackays of Kintyre suffered severely at the hands of the Macleans and it appears that the Mackays supported the Campbells during the feud. Meeting with James V of Scotland
In May 1539, James V of Scotland, sailing from Leith around the north of Scotland, calling at Orkney and arriving on the Strathnaver coast, <mask> of Strathnaver went on board to accompany the king on the rest of the voyage. The king also took other chiefs on board such as Roderick Macleod of the Lewes, Alexander Macleod of Dunvegan, John of Moidart, Alexander of Glengarry, Mackenzie of Kintail, Maclean of Duart and MacConnal of Isla. Some of these chiefs were received on board as enemies and imprisoned, while others as friends were rewarded.<mask> was treated well by the king for on the 16 December 1539, after they arrived at Stirling, Mackay obtained a charter under the Great Seal of Scotland for his ancestral lands in heritage: Farr, Armadale, Straye, Rynewe, Kynnald, Golspie, Dirlot, Cattack, Broynach, Kilchalumkill in Strabroa, Davach Lochnaver, Davach Eriboll, the two pennylands of Stromay, the mill of Kinald, the island of Sanday extending to the three pennylands, the lands of Melness and Hope, with the mills, mill-lands, manors etc., formerly belonging to Y Mckay and his ancestors, the father of the said <mask>, but in the king's hands by reason of nonentry, and now erected into the free barony of Farr, sasine to be taken at the principal messuage of Farr. <mask> took sasine by procurators of the lands at

 the castle of Farr, which was located between Farr and Swordly, on 16 April 1540. <mask> appears to have remained at court for at least twelve months as on 26 November 1540 he witnessed a charter of lands in Monteith of Perth to Anthony Balfour of Torre Estir. While at court, <mask> also received a charter from Andrew Stuart, Bishop of Caithness for the church-lands in Durness, Strathnaver to himself and his heirs after him. Feud with Sutherland of Duffus

Due to the part <mask> had played with Forbes against the Seatons, William Sutherland, 7th of Duffus consequently secured the nonentry of Mackay's lands in 1530 in an evident attempt to get possession of Mackay's lands of Strathnaver, similar to that that had been done by Sutherland of Dirlot at an earlier period. Some differences arose between <mask> Mackay and Sutherland of Duffus over the lands of Kerrownashein, near Lochnaver, which Duffus claimed to hold from the church of Moray in virtue of a grant from Reginald Cheyne, and also as to the nonentry dues of Mackay's estate since 1530. In 1542 the matter was submitted to the arbitration of James Stewart, Earl of Moray.The Earl of Moray decided that Sutherland of Duffus should alienate to <mask> and his heirs the lands which he had held from the church of Moray. Battle of Solway Moss
Towards the end of 1542, the king of Scotland resolved upon a war with England. <mask> of Strathnaver and his son Iye Du Mackay were summoned to muster at Lauder along with their clansmen. The disorderly Scottish army that set out for England under Oliver Sinclair was completely routed at the Battle of Solway Moss. <mask> returned to

 Edinburgh with the king, but his son Iye Du Mackay was taken prisoner. The king died soon afterwards leaving an only child, Mary, Queen of Scots. At the instigation of the English king, Iye Du Mackay and some of the other Scottish prisoners promoted a scheme in which the infant Mary, Queen of Scots would be married to the king of England's son, the Prince of Wales.Battle of Alltan-Beath
According to 17th-century historian Sir Robert Gordon, 1st Baronet, who was a son of Alexander Gordon, 12th Earl of Sutherland, in 1542, <mask> of Strathnaver invaded Sutherland with a company of men and burnt the village of Knockartel and took goods from Strathbrory in Sutherland. The book Conflicts of the Clans describes the Battle of Alltan-Beath in which the Mackays were subsequently defeated by the Gordons of Sutherland, although this battle is not specifically mentioned by either the Mackay historians or in the 1813 publication of Sir Robert Gordon's manuscript. According to Sir Robert Gordon, <mask> was ultimately brought to the Gordon Earls of Huntly and Sutherland and upon his submission was, at their command, imprisoned in Foulis Castle. However, this version of events is disputed by historian Angus Mackay. Historian Angus Mackay explains that Robert Stuart, Bishop of Caithness, supporting the scheme of the English king for his son to marry the infant Mary, Queen of Scots as mentioned above, departed for England to join his brother the Earl of Lennox, and that the bishop made some arrangements with his relatives, including Mackay, for the protection of his castles and church-lands. As such <mask> advanced into Sutherland and placed

 a party of his clansman in the bishop's Skibo Castle under the command of Neil Mackay of the Mackay of Aberach branch of the clan. On 28 April 1549, the bishop brought together at Castle Sinclair Girnigoe, all on equal terms, the Earls of Sutherland, Caithness and <mask>, and they entered into a bond of friendship.Historian Angus Mackay states that this is an honest account of what had happened based on documents found at Dunrobin Castle and that Sir Robert Gordon has described it with his "usual untruthfulness". Feud with the Rosses

It is evident that the Mackays once more raided the Rosses of Balnagown as a record dated 28 June 1550 shows that <mask> and other relatives were charged with the "cruel slaughter of Alexander MacAne Ross" and other relatives, and that Alexander Ross of Balnagown was "amerciated" for not reporting and delivering to the clerks of justicary the letters which had been purchased by the wives, children, parents, and friends of the deceased duly "executed and endorsed". Family
<mask>, 11th of Strathnaver, married Helen, daughter of Alexander Sinclair of Stempster, second son of William Sinclair, 2nd Earl of Caithness and chief of Clan Sinclair. <mask> and Helen Sinclair had the following children:
Iye Du Mackay, 12th of Strathnaver, heir and successor as chief of the Clan Mackay. A daughter, who married John Mackay, 4th chieftain of the Mackay of Aberach branch of the clan.

<mask> (born January 4, 1944) is an American photographer and filmmaker based in Philadelphia. His work, mostly documentary photography, focuses primarily on the lives of little known groups in America and abroad. Life and work
Salzmann was born January 4, 1944, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He describes himself as being "of that generation which thought that photography could bring about socially beneficial change." Educated in Philadelphia schools, he acquired photographic skills along the way, often from older photographers. Much of his career has involved using photography to preserve the history of groups of people in danger of being ignored and forgotten and encouraging his subjects to retrieve memories and tell their stories. Edward Sozanski, the late Philadelphia Inquirer art critic, wrote of Salzmann's work, "Cross a visual anthropologist with a talented photographer and you get <mask>n" and goes on to say that Salzmann's deep immersions in local cultures are  "what give his photographs exceptional resonance and poignancy."(Phila. Inquirer, 2008)

<mask>'s first documentary project, "Family of Luis" (1965), came out of his assignment as a Peace Corps trainee in a barrio humilde of Ciudad Juarez. It attracted the notice of the Photography Curator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Kneeland McNaulty, who bought several prints for their Museum Collection. The "Family of Luis" essay led to <mask>'s being hired as a participant observer and photographer by St. Luke's Hospital Department of Community Psychiatry for a joint project with Columbia University. Again, he lived among his subjects, this time

His work, Neighbors on the Block, was published by the New York State Council on the Arts.A grant from the American Film Institute for documentary film making enabled him and filmmaker Peter Barton to complete two films about residents of the hotels. Salzmann took courses in Sociology at the New School of Social Research and earned a Master of Arts in Visual Anthropology from Temple University (1971). This training, in addition to his photographic experience, led to work with Tim Asch as editor for several of the films (Children's Magical Death, New Tribes Mission, Tug of War, Weeding the Garden) in Asch's Yamomoto film series (1971) and as an editor on Alan Lomax's Choreometrics project. A Fulbright grant enabled Salzmann to spend 1974 – 1976 in the small Romanian town of Radauti, documenting the lives of the remaining members of its Jewish community who had survived the Holocaust. Again, Salzmann learned the language of his subjects and lived among them. His pictures were published in the book: The Last Jews of Radauti with text by Ayşe Gürsan-<mask>, (Doubleday, 1983). His film, Song of Radauti was broadcast nationwide by PBS.At the invitation of Cornell Capa, Director of the International Center of Photography, a large selection of the Radauti pictures was shown at the International Center of Photography. A grant from International Research & Exchanges Board allowed Salzmann to live for a year documenting the lives of Transhumant (migratory) shepherds in the Transylvania region of Romania. That work

 was published in book form under the title of Miortiza and shown in the Bucuresti Peasant Museum. At the invitation of the 500 Years Foundation Salzmann was invited to Turkey to produce a photographic essay on the Jews of that country. That project with a film took 5 years to complete and culminated in an exhibit, Anyos Munchos I Buenos  that was shown in museums in Israel, the Netherlands, Germany, France, and the United States, plus two books, and a documentary film. Most recently, Salzmann has worked in Cuba, Mexico, and Peru, documenting the lives and work of artists and athletes in Cuba, the way of life left behind by Mexican migrants to Philadelphia. A second Fulbright Grant to Peru has provided funding for Salzmann to document ways in which pre-Hispanic culture continue on the lives and culture of Quechua speaking communities of Cusco's Sacred Valley Writing of Salzmann's La Lucha/The Struggle, a study of young athletes training in Castro's Cuba,  Miles Orvell wrote “ Salzmann's photographs constitute an aesthetic and social document of great power...and are a tribute to his generous vision of cross-cultural understanding.”  (The Photo Review, Vol.28, No.3, pp 22–23, 2009) Summing up Salzmann's work, Jason Francisco, Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies at Emory College, has written “”The core intelligence of Salzmann's [work] is his non-didacticism, his unwillingness to forsake the suggestive for the merely explanatory ...”

In his 2005 book Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers co-written with  Melinda Lundquist Denton, he introduced the term moralistic therapeutic deism (abbreviated MTD) to describe the common religious beliefs exhibited by American youth in a survey. It has also been referred to as egonovism. The book summarized the "National Study of Youth and Religion", privately funded by the Lilly Endowment. They label moralistic therapeutic deism as a religion with the following traits:

Critical realism
Critical realism (CR) is, in <mask>'s view, the most promising general approach to social science for best framing our research and theory. CR, as a philosophy of (social) science (not a sociological theory per se), offers the best alternative to the problems and limits presented by positivist empiricism, hermeneutical interpretivism, strong social constructionism, and postmodernist deconstruction. It is the meta-theoretical

 direction in which American sociology needs to move

<mask>'s work in CR involves What is a Person? Rethinking Humanity, Social Life, and the Moral Good from the Person Up (Chicago 2010) (with Moral, Believing Animals (OUP 2003) forming a pre-CR theoretical backdrop); To Flourish or Destruct: A Personalist Theory of Human Goods, Motivations, Failure, and Evil (Chicago 2014), and Religion: What it Is, How it Works, and Why it Matters (Princeton 2017).CR is a significant position within which scholars work in Great Britain, Scandinavia, and the rest of Europe.Yet few North American sociologists are aware of the substance and importance of the CR account. <mask>'s view is that CR is a genuinely alternative approach to reality and social science that requires serious, focused study and intellectual re-tooling in order to learn well enough to not simply fall back into the old assumptions, instincts, and paradigms.

 the fact that employment opportunities for black scholars in white schools were minimal as were the opportunities for anthropologists in black schools. During this time he pursued his research interest in early colonial Southeastern North America publishing two articles on Indian culture patterns and Black-Indian-White relations.The articles focused on ethnohistorical issues and were published in the journal Ethnohistory. Like his dissertation these articles established his significant abilities as an ethnohistorian. Both articles corrected the record regarding certain issues <mask> felt had been misreported by ethnologists. His approach was innovative. In addition to examining the standard historical treatises, he looked for "ethnographic facts found now and then in routine documents written by busy officials and semi-literate traders" and compared these facts with the extended descriptions of more sophisticated authors (<mask> 1957: 125). The scholarship was enlivened by the personal interest <mask> took in the five groups he studied: Cherokee, Choctaw, Chicasaw, Creeks and Seminoles. <mask> taught partime from 1955 to 1964 at Columbia University and City of College of in New York City part-time.During this period his research was in early colonial Southeastern North America.

 documented examples of patrilineal practices in Native American Southeastern North American groups that had been previously seen as matrilineal. He found 18th century materials that had been previously ignored.His hypothesis was that matrilineal institutions and patrilineal practices could co-exist. In <mask>' 1957 article "The Nation of Bread" his research approach combined the historical method and the Boasian anthropology. From this approach he stated in a letter to Charles H. Fairbanks, that the confederacies of the Creeks were "confederacies of different cultural units."

looking upward from below. When we do this, the importance
of color erupts, and the world of Edward Burnett Tylor, Franz Boas,
and A.R. Radcliffe-Brown becomes articulated with the world

"I was led into Anthropology by the appeal of the scientific antiracism of the Basin tradition". —<mask><mask>, Jr

"In 1945, I began graduate study at Columbia University, first in political science and then in anthropology. I shifted to anthropology because I assumed that this discipline was the vanguard in the attack against racist thought. I tried to reconcile the concentration on North American Indians that then prevailed in anthropology with my strong interests in history and in the study of Black people by selecting Black-Indian relations in Southeastern North America as the problem for my dissertation. _<mask><mask>

(In regards to Boas) <mask> wrote:

"In the first place, he soft-pedalled what the white man had done. He did not explicitly refer to the slave trade, slavery, segregation, imperialism, discrimination, exploitation, lynching. Instead, he resorted to euphemism: innocuous gloss of these events.Moreover, Boas did not advocate protest and agitation. He did not advocate immediatism. He did not advocate that Negroes should immediately agitate and protest for their rights. He did not condemn what whites had and were doing to Negroes". -<mask><mask>

In his role at the SABC, <mask> was one of South Africa's most popular and respected radio anchors. The SABC described <mask> as a "seasoned journalist and an outstanding broadcaster" and AM Live as "arguably the most influential programme in South Africa". However, in March 2007 <mask> resigned after blowing the whistle on political censorship within the SABC. His resignation was widely thought to indicate his dissatisfaction with internal politics at the SABC. <mask> has a BA in History, African Politics and Southern Sotho, and a BA Honours in Development Studies. He has also worked for the Weekly Mail, Saturday Star and Sunday Independent.He has also presented on television. Whistle-blowing on SABC blacklist
In 2006, <mask> caused a storm of controversy through an on-air whistle-blowing incident in which he revealed political censorship at the national broadcaster. In the live broadcast, <mask> contradicted SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago's denial that the SABC had an editorial blacklist of commentators critical of the South African government or president. He later said that this followed intensive internal discussions over 3 months with concerned SABC staffers, and that others had also taken a stand. An internal SABC commission of inquiry was appointed, headed by Zwelakhe Sisulu and Gilbert Marcus, to investigate the allegations, and in October 2006 issued a damning report against the SABC. The report entirely vindicated <mask>'s statement, finding that there was an arbitrary blacklist of commentators who SABC staff were instructed not to consult. This blacklist

It found that the blacklisting contradicted the SABC's mandate and recommended that new guidelines on commentators be developed through wide consultation in and outside the SABC. Despite the commissioners' strong recommendations that their report be released to the public, the SABC CEO Dali Mpofu chose not to publish it, initially releasing only excerpts, and then unsuccessfully attempting a court interdict against the  Mail & Guardian when they published the full report online. Mpofu's actions were widely criticised at the time. Following the report, the SABC threatened <mask> with disciplinary action for "bringing the organisation into disrepute" but took no action on the commission's findings against Zikalala or the SABC. <mask> reportedly refused to accept an on-air warning for contradicting Kganyago, insisting on a disciplinary hearing instead. Resignation
On 30 January 2007, <mask> announced his resignation from the SABC after 9 years, and held his last show on 2 March.Although initially <mask> did not comment on his reasons, the media reported that his resignation was linked to his dissatisfaction with the SABC's failure to respond to the commission's report. <mask>'s resignation announcement came at the same time as his co-host Nikiwe Bikitsha's departure from the SABC to take up a post with CNBC Africa.
