Abstract:
Sometime before 1824, the slave celebration of Jonkonnu spread to North Carolina from the Caribbean Islands. Jonkonnu is a unique Christmas celebration in which elaborate costumes are worn and distinctive dances are danced to celebrate the holiday. The tradition was transplanted to America with Caribbean slaves and became a custom in black communities until about 1900 when it was abandoned by African-Americans.

According to UNC sociologist Charles Kurzman, the kind of radicalization that leads to violence is much less common in the United States than in Western Europe. Reasons for this could be demographics, law enforcement, communication, and political activism. Omid Safi, a religious studies professor, says that Muslim Americans should become more involved in public discourse to help curtail radicalization and terrorism.

Abstract:
Warren Nord, lecturer in philosophy, contends that public schools and universities today come close to indoctrinating students against religion by almost completely ignoring it. He argues that neutrality doesn’t just mean that it’s okay to teach students about religion, but that you’re required to teach them about it if you teach them things that are hostile to religion.

Abstract:
Next week, the Wake County School Board will decide whether to cleanse the personnel record of former Enloe High School teacher Robert Escamilla. Escamilla was suspended, reprimanded and reassigned to another school after inviting Kamil Solomon to speak to students about his government persecution in Egypt. Instead, Solomon talked about the evil of Islam. Escamilla believes students need exposure to different views to receive an education, but hate speech and the persecution of religious groups has no place in the public school system.

Abstract:
Fayetteville filmmaker Jeremiah McLamb draws on his church, the Northwood Temple, for inspiration in his works. McLamb began writing short scripts during his childhood. This blossomed into a passion when he began filming stage productions in high school. After graduating, he started a company to produce commercial films and has since made two full length movies that tell stories of redemption and spirituality. Inspired by the mainstream acceptance of faith-based films, McLamb is confident there is a market for faith-filled cinema.

Abstract:
Told from the viewpoint of a young boy, the church-goers of a town usually go and pray at the bedside of a dying person until they pass. In this particular case, however, the man who lay in the sickbed was not prayed over because people thought of him as a bad man for drinking and not attending church.
