US President Donald Trump has announced that Washington would stop funding WHO, accusing the body of mismanaging and covering-up of the spread of the COVID-19 across the globe.
The abrupt decision received widespread backlash from across the world where officials and activists voiced concern over the defunding amid the global fight against a pandemic.
In an exclusive interview with Mehr News Agency, Professor David Yagoubian noted that Trump’s measure “should not surprise anyone who has been following the steady path of unilateralism and belligerence that the Trump regime has pursued since its unfortunate inception."
Here is the full text of the interview with David Yaghoubian, professor of history at California State University San Bernardino.
"History in the Making" is an annual publication of the California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) Alpha Delta Nu Chapter of the Phi Alpha Theta National History Honor Society, and is sponsored by the History Department and the Instructionally Related Programs at CSUSB.

Wednesday, May 13th, 2020 at 2 p.m.
This event is free and open to the public.
Presented by the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program and the Office of Student Research in accordance with the 2020 Academic Research Week.
In this talk Dr. Young uses the writings and activism of Mabel Williams, a southern activist from North Carolina, to discuss the philosophy of armed resistance. As an activist during the Civil Rights movement, Mabel Williams criticized the dominant ideology of the movement: nonviolence. She also practiced armed resistance when white vigilante violence and police repression threatened the lives of activists. This talk interrogates the gendering of armed resistance and reveals the complex set of struggles between Black men and women about Black self-defense.

Special guest faculty panelists, Drs. Howard Henderson and Franklin Wilson, who have co-authored several studies on this subject, will discuss their work in the context of the current national conversation on race and policing.
These movies are designed not to trouble, but to reassure; they do not reflect reality; they merely rearrange its elements into something we can bear. They also weaken our ability to deal with the world as it is, ourselves as we are.
-- James Baldwin
Dr. Howard Henderson is the Founding Director of the Center for Justice Research and Professor of Justice Administration in the Barbara Jordan-Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs at Texas Southern University. He is currently evaluating the Bureau of Justice Assistance and Mental Health Collaboration Program with the Harris County Mental Health Jail Diversion Program, designed to implement and expand community-based services to individuals with behavioral health issues through information sharing between the criminal justice system and community service providers.

The Department of History is exceptionally pleased to welcome two new full-time faculty members this year; Dr. Michael Karp, who will be based at the Palm Desert Campus, and Dr. Daisy Ocampo, who will be contributing to our Public History program here the San Bernardino campus. Welcome! We look forward to working with you both.
After double-majoring in history and religious studies at Humboldt State University, Dr Karp earned his MA and PhD in history at Saint Louis University. He studies the social and environmental history of the American West. Hist current book project, Landscapes of Labor Strife: California, Capitalism, and the Pacific World, examines how the spread of global capitalism violently reordered labor patterns and social relations in northwestern California.
Since earning his PhD, he has had the unique privilege to teach in a variety of settings including an independent middle school, public high schools, dual enrollment programs, and community colleges and universities. As an educator and resident of the Coachella Valley, he will be joining CSUSB’s Palm Desert Campus and the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
Daisy Ocampo (Caz’ Ahmo Indigenous Nation of Zacatecas, Mexico) earned her PhD in History from the University of California, Riverside in 2019. Her research in Native and Public History informs her work with museum exhibits, historical preservation projects, and community-based archives. Her research integrates critical race theory, decolonial praxis of tribal sovereignty, and community traditions to create a new direction of inclusivity in Public History that visibilizes Indigenous people, voices and community narratives.
The U.S. Department of Education awarded the Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) Fellowship to fund her work to include critical Indigenous scholarship to the field of Public History.
She joins the History Department at CSUSB to share its commitment to transforming student’s lives through education. She brings her own experience as a first- generation college student which has enriched her approaches to research, student engagement and teaching pedagogy. Secondly, Dr. Ocampo is particularly interested in connecting local tribal communities, organizations and cultural institutions to CSU San Bernardino. She looks forward to working with students on Public History service-learning projects that reflect the local and regional landscape of the Inland Empire and Coachella Valley.

Documentaries available for showing (thank you to Barbara Quarton, Coordinator Library Media Services, for compiling the original list):
Combining archival footage with testimony from activists and scholars, director Ava DuVernay's examination of the U.S. prison system looks at how the country's history of racial inequality drives the high rate of incarceration in America. Available on youtube for free for a limited time.
Detroit 48202: Conversations Along a Postal Route is urgent. It asks: will the resurgence of Detroit center on a high tech, and increasingly white downtown or, will it focus on the vast stretches of neglected neighborhoods that continue to deal with a 40% poverty rate, water shutoffs, tax foreclosures, poor transportation, and a school system in crisis?
Beginning with a historical montage, from the early days of slavery through the subsequent growth and organization of the working class, this film focuses on the crucial role played by the black worker in the American economy.
An Oscar-nominated documentary narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, this film explores the continued peril America faces from institutionalized racism through the words of James Baldwin.
Power to Heal tells a poignant chapter in the historic struggle to secure equal and adequate access to healthcare for all Americans. Central to the story is the tale of how a new national program, Medicare, was used to mount a dramatic, coordinated effort that desegregated thousands of hospitals across the country practically overnight.
Race: The Power of an Illusion (episodes 1-3) through Kanopy
A three hour series that examines the concept of race in society, its origins, how it affects people's lives and how it is used to rationalize, social inequalities. A companion website also now exists at https://www.racepowerofanillusion.org.
"How does the southern silence become so heavy and so menacing so suddenly? How do the trees and the whole natural environment evoke so intensely death, blood, and the weight of history? How does the present call up the past? And how does this past, with a mere gesture or a simple regard, haunt and torment you as you wander along an empty cotton field, or a dusty country road?"
The Intolerable Burden examines the conditions of segregation prior to 1965, the hardships the family faced during desegregation, and the massive white resistance, which led to re-segregation.
Bringing to light the hidden and unknown photos shot by both professional and vernacular African American photographers, the film opens a window into lives, experiences and perspectives of black families that is absent from the traditional historical canon. These images show a much more complex and nuanced view of American culture and society and its founding ideals.
This is an ideal introduction to the social construction of racial identities, and a critical new tool for exploring the often invoked--but seldom explained--concept of white privilege.
White Like Me: Race, Racism & White Privilege in America
Based on the work of acclaimed anti-racist educator and author Tim Wise, explores race and racism in the US through the lens of whiteness and white privilege.
