The footage is old, the concepts are older, but they've never been more applicable than they are today. Never forget what it is that makes America great especially as our cultural dialogue focuses and polarizes around race, religion and cultural identity. SB 1070? 9/11 Mosques? Is Obama a Muslim? Socialism? Muslim? Footage dates back to a 1947 documentary entitled Don't Be A Sucker produced by the US Government. I've added the comment at the end and shot the color footage. Remember, your duty to your country is constant. It's a fundamental duty to fight for equality - both for yourself and your fellow human. Stand up for what is right. Stand up for America!

Join our discussion with Professor Eleanor Earl, Cinema Program Coordinator at Hampton University; Bill Thomas, Community Activist; Dr. Wanda Brockington, Chair of Norfolk State University's School of Mass Communications and Journalism; and Roger Chesley, Associate Editor of the Virginian-Pilot.

Noam Chomsky delivers the 5th Annual Edward Said Memorial Lecture: The Unipolar Moment and the Culture of Imperialism at Columbia University School for International Affairs for the Heyman Center for the Humanities. After paying homage to Edward Said's stressing imperialism as central to our culture Chomsky builds his case with telling quotes of American leaders rationalizing and denying extermination of Native Americans on through US terrorism in Latin and South America, like in Chile, Brazil, El Salvador, Panama, Nicaragua, and the Middle East.
