A Long Time Coming: The Role of Race In American History

Ray Anthony Shepard has put together an award-winning book for young readers to counter what he says are "<i>years of sanitized Black History months and schoolbooks</i>." He has chosen instead to tell the story from the inside - examining the question of race through the lyrical biographies of six prominent American heroes, all of whom challenged and changed the racial barriers of their day - Ona Judge, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Ida B Wells, MLK and Barack Obama.<br/><br/><b>Cambridge Forum</b> guest speaker Shepard, intertwines his academic research with personal memories of his mother's stories about her enslaved father, accounts informed by his own experiences of living through eight decades from the era of Jim Crow to the present day.

Each of us must take action to save ourselves and save the planet.<br/><br/>“After 28 years of failed climate negotiations, scientifically informed emissions reductions set by governments have languished. Consequently, the pace at which the world is mitigating and adapting to the threat of climate change is <a href="https://time.com/6565044/1-point-5-climate-change/">far too slow to meet the challenge</a>.

Is Our Junk Food Addiction Killing Us?

<b>Cambridge Forum</b> digs into the underbelly of the typical American diet, an astounding 60% of which is made up of ultraprocessed foods – like cereals, breads, yoghurts and frozen dinners plus sweets and soda. There is mounting scientific evidence that UPFs are not just potentially addictive but also linked to our rocketing rates of obesity, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer. We know that food can be either medicine or toxin; so how do we recognize “junk” food and make better eating choices? <br/><br/>We examine the links between diet and disease, zoning in on the addictive alchemy of certain combinations that make up HPF (hyper-palatable foods) which are irresistible to our taste buds. We ask three experts in the field for their advice. Jerry Manda, CEO of Nourish Science and Adjunct Professor of Nutrition at the Harvard Chan School of Public Health, Tera Fazzino, Assistant Professor or Psychology and Associate Director of the Cofrin Logan Cen ....

Single-Minded: Can You Live a Happy Satisfied Life, Alone?

<b>Cambridge Forum </b>delves into a controversial topic – the state of singlehood? Lots of health research indicates that people who live alone, have higher health risks and are generally unhappier. Well, not so, according to <b>Bella DePaulo</b> (Ph.D) author of a new book, “Single At Heart”. DePaulo is a 70-year old psychologist, who in addition to being single all her life, has also studied the state of being single from a professional standpoint and she is adamant that there are multiple myths about her chosen way of living.<br/><br/><i>“I could be living at a time or in a place where the prospects for staying single for life would have been much more daunting. Maybe it would have been nearly impossible for me to support myself financially without a spouse. Maybe attitudes toward single people would have been even more disparaging than they are now.  That would have been a profound loss. For people like me who are single a ....
