This year, IIANC celebrates our 125th Anniversary (Happy Quasquicentennial!). To commemorate that event, contributors to IIANC Action / iPAC / InsurPAC are invited to a dinner at the Briggs Hardware Building in Raleigh (the site of the organizational meeting in 1898 of Alexander Webb and 33 other agents from across the state) on October 12th that will feature a keynote address from the 26th President of the United States, Theodore ‘Teddy' Roosevelt (courtesy of actor-historian Peyton Dixon). President Roosevelt took time recently to chat with IIANC lobbyist Joe Stewart. For information on the October 12th event, click HERE.
Dr. Christian, starring Claude Rains filling in for Jean Hersholdt as Dr. Alexander Webb, originally broadcast June 20, 1945, 78 years ago. The Lady, The Wolf. I'm done fighting with my doctors. A variety of health issues have led me to a decision that I hoped I wouldn't have to make for a couple of more years.Classic Radio Theater will end June 30, 2023.I want to thank everyone who made this show possible over the years. I know it's only about three weeks for stations to make alternate programming arrangements, but it's a choice that I had to make. I'm nearing 70 years of age, and the grind of producing these shows is just too much.It has been my honor and pleasure to serve you these past eight years.#Classic-Radio #Old-Time-Radio #Drama #Dr-Christian #Claude-Rains
Dr Christian starring Claude Rains sitting in for Jean Hersholdt, originally broadcast June 13, 1945, Jere to Liebe. Claude Rains appears as "Dr. Alexander Webb" while Jean Hersholt is still in Denmark. You'll never guess the meaning of the title! Also part 3 of the 5 part Yours Truly Johnny Dollar story, The Laughing Matter, originally broadcast June 13, 1956. A thickening web, clinging and sticky, but one of the flies pulls free, by using a gun!
Muslims and the Making of America (Baylor University Press, 2016) offers a succinct and gripping account of Muslim presence in the United States. The book gives attention to the contemporary moment and also reaches as far back as the days of Columbus, who commissioned an Arabic translator for his potential encounters with Muslims in the New World. The book is meticulously researched and rife with concrete examples, but at just over 130 pages, Amir Hussain’s emphasis on brevity is clear, and this operates as a key strength of the text. Hussain looks not to present a comprehensive overview of Islam and Muslims in the US but instead guides the reader on a rich journey through some of the most significant ways that Muslims have contributed to the fabric of the United States. He focuses on political history, music, and sports, in order to convey that although Muslims have never made up more than a few percent of the US population, their presence has proven foundational and visible at every step of the nations development. From enslaved Africans, to convert Alexander Webb, to Muhammad Ali and beyond, Hussain demonstrates that despite popular perceptions, Islam was never foreign to the United States. As the mature work of a senior scholar, this monograph shares a personal tone, through a variety of on-point anecdotes and reflections on belonging, from an American Muslim born in Canada, with South Asian roots. Given the user-friendly and timely nature of the publication, Hussain’s book should interest students in a variety of college courses, academics looking for an accessible portrait of Islam and Muslims in the US, and also lay readers seeking to equip themselves against the barrage of misinformation perpetuated by influential politicians and main stream media outlets. Elliott Bazzano is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Le Moyne College. His research and teaching interests include theory and methodology in the study of religion, Islamic studies, Quranic studies, mysticism, religion and media, and religion and drugs.
