LINCOLN UNIVERSITY - On March 25, 1965, a bus loaded with Lincoln University students and staff arrived in Montgomery, Ala. to join the Selma march for racial and voting equality. Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was in force, African-Americans continued to feel the effects of segregation. The 1960s was a decade of social unrest and change. In the Deep South, specifically Alabama, racial segregation was a cultural norm resistant to change. Governor George Wallace never concealed his personal viewpoints and political stance of the white majority, declaring Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever. The march was aimed at obtaining African-Americans their constitutionally protected right to vote. However, Alabamas deep-rooted culture of racial bias began to be challenged by a shift in American attitudes towards equality. Both black and whites wanted to end discrimination by using passive resistance, a movement utilized by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. That passive resistance was often met with violence, sometimes at the hands of law enforcement and local citizens. The Selma to Montgomery march was a result of a protest for voting equality. The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Southern Christian Leadership Counsel (SCLC) among other students marched along the streets to bring awareness to the voter registration campaign, which was organized to end discrimination in voting based on race. Violent acts of police officers and others were some of the everyday challenges protesters were facing. Forty-one participants from Lincoln University arrived in Montgomery to take part in the 1965 march for equality. Students from Lincoln Universitys Journalism 383 class spent part of their 2015 spring semester researching the historical event. Here are their stories: Peter Kellogg Weve been watching the television, reading about it in the newspapers, said Peter Kellogg during a February 2015 telephone interview. Everyone knew the civil rights movement was going on, and it was important that we give him (Robert Newton) some assistance and Newton said we needed to get involve and do something, Kellogg, a lecturer in the 1960s at Lincoln University, discussed how the bus trip originated. Thats why the bus happened, Kellogg said. Because of what he (Newton) did - thats why Lincoln students went and participated. People were excited and the people along the sidewalk were supportive, Kellogg said. However, the mood flipped from excited to scared and feeling intimidated. It seems though every office building there was a guy in a blue uniform with binoculars standing in the crowd with troops and police. And if looks could kill me, we could have all been dead. He says the hatred and intimidation was intense. Kellogg, being white, was an immediate target among many white people. He didnt realize how dangerous the event in Alabama was until he and the others in the bus heard about the death of Viola Liuzzo. The married mother of five from Detroit was shot and killed by members of the Ku Klux Klan while shuttling activists to the Montgomery airport. We found out about her death on the ride back, Kellogg recalled. Because it was a loss of life, and it shows the violence we could have been exposed to that danger! After returning to LU, Kelloggs outlook on life took a dramatic turn. Kellogg noted Kings belief that a person should be willing to die for important causes. The idea is that life is about something larger and more important than your own immediate gratification, and career success or personal achievements, Kellogg said. The civil rights movement it made me, it made my life more significant because it was about something important. The civil rights movement influenced Kellogg to change his career path and to become a black history lecturer. Until this day, he has no regrets and believes that his choices made him as a better individual. The bus ride to Alabama, he says, began with the actions of just one student. Robert Newton Robert Newton was the initiator, recruiter and leader of the Lincoln University movement to join Dr. Martin Luther Kings march in Selma. In the 60s much of the civil rights activists came out of college, said Newton during a recent phone interview. Many of the events that involved segregation compelled college students to fight for equality. We had selected boycotts of merchants, when blacks were not allowed to try on clothes, Newton said. You could buy clothes at department stores, but no blacks could work at the department stores as sales people. If you bought clothes there you couldnt try them on, you had to buy them first and take them home and try them on. Newton said the students risked their lives to be a part of history and influence change. He not only recognized the historic event of his fellow Lincolnites, but also recognized other college students and historical black colleges and universities who played a vital role in history. You had the S.N.C.C organization, in terms of voting rights and other things, including a lot of participation and working off the bureau, Newton said. Other schools and places such as UNT, Greenville and Howard University and other historically black schools had groups that came out as leaders. Newton believes that much has changed from 50 years ago. I think weve certainly come a long way from what Ive seen from the standpoint of growing up outside of Birmingham, Alabama, Newton said. He believes that college campuses today are more organized in their approach to social causes. The campus appears to be some more integrated amongst students in terms of organizations and friendships. Barbara Flint Dr. Barbara Flint grew up in the southern part of Arkansas and came to Lincoln University in 1961. She describes her experience at Lincoln as being at Lincoln when the world was changing. She was an active member of Lincolns History Club, which focused on current events and issues and influenced her decision to join the Selma march. The first idea was to raise some money and then we started talking about why cant we go? I very much wanted to be a living witness in history. Reflecting on the march and journey to Montgomery, Flint describes it as being filled with tension. We were very conscious of the fact that once we got on the road past Tennessee we didnt know what was going to happen, said Flint during a February 2015 phone interview. Many of the students had not been beyond Missouri, so they didnt have that sense of what happens in the South. Having lived there you knew the balance as well as what is likely to happen and what is not likely to happen. As my father use to say, you have to know how to stay on that line of balance. Upon arriving in Alabama she remembers the feeling of excitement and relief from everyone on the bus. We were tired and very happy to be there and we were trying to figure out where we were going to join and get into the march, Flint said. There were so many people coming in and then we were also trying to stay together; that was one of the things that really stuck out for me, not just for us but the people who were coming in. You didnt want to lose sight of the people you came with. Flint says she was keenly aware of her surroundings. For her, it was more than just marching forward. I can still hear those helicopters now, Flint recalled. Every time the helicopters would come over the sound would make people jump and look up - I think that demonstrated the extent of the tenseness that was there at the time because the helicopters kept coming over every few minutes. She said that the marchers sang we are not afraid, but that fear remained with every step. Just having been there and being a witness and marching you realize that Im one of those drops thats going to make up this flood and with this flood things will move, said Flint. As a student at Lincoln in 1965, Flint says the Selma experience undoubtedly changed her life. You cant expect to do exactly what you came to Lincoln to do, Flint says. That march - along with all the other marchers and the action that was taking place - directly changed the paths that I and many other people at Lincoln would take. She says current students and new generations need to reflect on their personal role in society. Decide what needs to be done and ask yourself how can I best contribute to it? Flint said. She notes technology and social media can be used to reach audiences in ways unavailable to her generation in 1965. So you dont always have to wait for someone else to step out there and say lets march, you can express your vision and your views and you have the means to do so (so) others can follow you. Jaci Newsom Jaci Newsom came to Lincoln in 1965 from Atlanta. She came to Lincoln to major in sociology and being in Jefferson City was largely different from what she had grown up with. To be able to come into a restaurant, sit down and be served a nice meal was eye-opening to me, said Newsom during a recent interview. She eventually became accustomed to the relaxed attitude of Missouri and was shocked by the situation she encountered on an out-of-town trip. I took a bus trip from Atlanta to Pensacola and I encountered the worse racism that I have ever seen. I was at bus stop, I went in to be served and they would not serve me. There was a policeman sitting there at the table and he told me that privately owned places could select not to serve you. Newsom describes her experience of marching in Montgomery as being one with a purpose. We felt as though we achieved something - we felt a sense of unity, Newsom said. We were very excited (because) we were going to hear from Martin Luther King. To actually be in the presence of him and the other civil rights workers there was just such enthusiasm and excitement yet there was also some apprehension of what we might encounter. Many of the marchers showed their inspiration and determination while pressing forward towards the grounds of the Alabama Capitol building. Newsom recalled that the marchers were singing the lyrics aint gonna let nobody turn me around and we shall overcome. I started seeing people just like me, Newsom said. I dont recall any of the scowling, the hitting, the things I would see on TV later. I just saw a sea of humanity marching towards the Capitol. I dont remember what Martin Luther King said but it was always the same message: keep the faith; were going to get where were going and let us remember what our purpose is. Newsom offers advice on what individuals can do to make their society a more productive and peaceful place. We have come a long way and we have ways to change things that we did not have before, Newsom said. You need to work in positive ways to change. Referencing the recent unrest in Ferguson, Mo., she believes that people become destructive as a way to show and vent anger. Her generation, she says, was raised to react in lawful ways and believe in hope. We have faith to do things in a way that was lawful and it makes me sad what people do when they feel without hope, and there is hope, Newsom says. Non-violence does work - we need to include everyone to make this world a better place. Newsom graduated from Lincoln in 1969 and describes her experience at Lincoln as, I grew up and did more growing at Lincoln than I think I did for the rest of my life.

O objetivo dessa tese aprofundar, a partir do discurso ps-colonial, uma crise na perspectiva teolgica da libertao. Esta promoveu, na dcada de 1970, uma reviravolta nos estudos teolgicos no terceiro mundo. Para tanto, leremos um conto de Gabriel Garca Mrquez chamado El ahogado ms hermosodel mundo (1968) analizando e avaliando as estratgias polticas e culturais ali inscritas. Para levar a frente tal avaliao preciso ampliar o escopo de uma viso que divide o mundo em secular/religioso, ou em ideias/prticas religiosas e no religiosas, para dar passo a uma viso unificada que compreende a mundanalidade, tanto do que catalogado como religioso quanto do que se pretende no religioso. A teologia/cincias da religio, como discurso cientfico sobre a economia das trocas que lidam com vises, compreenses e prticas de mundo marcadas pelo reconhecimento do mistrio que lhes inerente, possuem um papel fundamental na compreenso, explicitao, articulao e disponibilizao de tais foras culturais. A percepo de existirem elementos no conto que se relacionam com os smbolos sobre Jesus/Cristo nos ofereceu um vetor de anlise; entretanto, no nos deixamos limitar pelos grilhes disciplinares que essa simbologia implica. Ao mesmo tempo, esse vnculo, compreendido desde a relao imperial/colonial inerente aos discursos e imagens sobre Jesus-Cristo, embora sem centralizar a anlise, no poderia ficar intocado. Partimos para a construo de uma estrutura terica que explicitasse os valores, gestos, e horizontes mundanos do conto, cristolgicos e no-cristolgicos, contribuindo assim para uma desestabilizao dos quadros tradicionais a partir dos quais se concebem a teologia e as cincias da religio, a obra de Garca Mrquez como literatura, e a geografia imperial/colonial que postula o realismo ficcional de territrios como Amrica Latina. Abrimos, assim, um espao de significao que l o conto como uma no-cristologia, deslocando o aprisionamento disciplinar e classificatrio dos elementos envolvidos na anlise. O discurso crtico de Edward Said, Homi Bhabha e GayatriSpivak soma-se prtica terica de telogas crticas feministas da sia, da frica e da Amrica Latina para formular o cenrio poltico emancipatrio que denominaremos teologia crtica secular.

A presente pesquisa busca avaliar exegeticamente o texto que se encontra na Bblia, especificamente no livro de Nmeros captulos 22-24 que relata sobre um personagem conhecido como Balao. A pesquisa tem tambm como objeto o estudo sobre o panteo de divindades relatado no mesmo texto, assim como tambm o estudo dos textos descobertos em Deir Alla, na Jordnia, que apresentam um personagem designado como Balao, possivelmente o mesmo personagem de Nm 22-24. A motivao que levou ao desenvolvimento dessa pesquisa foi o fato de se ter deparado com os conceitos dos diversos nomes divinos exibidos no texto, alm da questo do profetismo fora de Israel, assim como as possibilidades hermenuticas que se abrem para a leitura desse texto bblico. O conceito geral sempre foi o de que Israel era a nica nao onde existiam verdadeiros profetas e uma adorao a um nico Deus, o monotesmo. O que despertou interesse foi perceber, especialmente por meio da leitura dos livros bblicos, que o profetismo no se restringiu somente a Israel. Ele antecede formao do antigo Israel e j existia no mbito das terras do antigo Oriente Mdio, e que Israel ainda demorou muito tempo para ser monotesta. Quem esse Balao, filho de Beor? Estudaremos sobre sua pessoa e sua misso. Examinaremos os textos de Deir Alla sobre Balao e sua natureza de personagem mediador entre o divino e o humano. Esse personagem apresentado como um grande profeta e que era famoso como intrprete de pressgios divinos. Analisaremos a importante questo sobre o panteo de deuses que so apresentados na narrativa de Balao nomeados como: El, Elyon Elohim e Shaddai, alm de Yahweh. Entendemos, a princpio, que o texto possui uma conexo com a sociedade na qual foi criado e usando da metodologia exegtica, faremos uma anlise da narrativa em questo, buscando compreender o sentido do texto, dentro de seu cenrio histrico e social. Cenrio este, que nos apresentou esse profeta, no israelita, que profere bnos dos deuses sobre Israel e que, alm disso, pronuncia maldies sobre os inimigos desse mesmo Israel. Percebemos que, parte do texto pesquisado apresentado sob a tica de Israel sobre as outras naes. A pesquisa defende, portanto, que o texto de Nm 22-24, alm de nos apresentar um profeta fora de Israel igual aos profetas da Bblia, defende que, o panteo de divindades tambm era adorado por Israel e que tais nomes so eptetos de uma mesma divindade, no caso YHWH. Defende, tambm, um delineamento de um projeto de domnio poltico e militar de Israel sobre as naes circunvizinhas.

A pesquisa tem por objetivo trabalhar o evento da Revolta de Je, em conjunto com a Estela de D, tendo como ponto de partida para tal, a exegese da percope de 2 Reis 10-28,36. A histria Deuteronomista apresenta o ato da Revolta de Je como sendo um feito demasiadamente importante, na restaurao do culto a Jav em Israel, a partir de um contexto onde o culto a outras divindades, em Israel Norte, estava em pleno curso. No entanto, a partir da anlise conjunta da Estela de D, que tem como provvel autor o rei Hazael de Damasco, somos desafiados a ler esta histria pelas entrelinhas no contempladas pelo texto, que apontam para uma participao ativa de Hazael, nos desfechos referentes a Revolta de Je, como sendo o responsvel direto que proporcionou a subida de Je ao trono em Israel, clarificando desta forma este importante perodo na histria Bblica. Para tal anlise, observar-se- trs distintos tpicos, ligados diretamente ao tema proposto: (1) A Revolta de Je e a Redao Deuteronomista, a partir do estudo exegtico da percope de 2 Reis 10,28-36, onde esto descritas informaes pontuais sobre perodo em que Je reinou em Israel; (2) Je e a Estela de D, a partir da apresentao e anlise do contedo da Estela de D, tratando diretamente dos desdobramentos da guerra em Ramote de Gileade, de onde se d o ponto de partida Revolta de Je; e por fim (3) O Imprio da Sria, onde a partir da continuidade da anlise do contedo da Estela de D, demonstraremos a significncia deste reino, alm de apontamentos diretamente ligados ao reinado de Hazael, personagem mui relevante no evento da Revolta de Je.
