"Dorothy Ashby was truly dedicated to music and culture. Her creations not only generated a deep appreciation for the harp in jazz, but her sound laid the foundation of so much music that we grew up on and listen to today."
Harpist Brandee Younger on the legacy of Dorothy Ashby:
Jay Smith, a UNC history professor and former president of the North Carolina chapter of the AAUP, said the Martin Center contributors are ideologues who lack scholarly discipline. “Like the various other right-wing initiatives that have sprouted at UNC in the past five to 10 years, the Martin Center speaks in euphemisms and seemingly value-neutral language, but their agenda has long been clear,” Smith said in a statement. “They want to remake our universities as incubators of capitalist values.” According to Shibley, who is also a Martin Center board member, the organization prioritizes bipartisan civics and free market education models. “It’s less of a culture war thing and more of a, ‘How can we most effectively spend the state’s money on education and engage in reform?’” Shibley said. “So that, you know, everybody can make their own mind up.”
This is the closing part of the recent Daily Tar Heel article on the right-wing James G. Martin Center. Jay Smith makes a point, and then the Martin Center flack disagrees before proceeding to prove Jay's point. They really can't help themselves

No union at your workplace? That’s not the end of your story.
Every union began with co-workers talking, organizing, and realizing their collective power. That’s how change starts.
