Spirits of the dead chiefs are said to still gather on the upland plains and march as night marchers in ghostly processions with drums and flutes. Listen, then hide! People call the spirits by fasting for two days, lighting a kukui-nut lamp, drinking some kukui-nut oil to cleanse the body, drinking some awa, maybe smoking a little weed. Then you call them. They will come.An ancient temple dedicated to Laka, Goddess of the Hula. The Halau Hula (House of Hula) was the training site. Dancers could not cut their hair or nails, certain foods were kapu (forbidden), and no sexual intercourse was allowed. The erotic dancing of the islands of Polynesia was intended to bring about fertility in nature. In hula lies the rich, dramatic history of Hawaii presented in sensual, visual, and audible forms.
Elbert F. Cox was the first black mathematician Ph. D. He was born December 5, 1895. he was born and raised in a college racially mixed neighborhood. His father was a school principal. In high school , Mr. Cox showed unusual ability in high school mathematics and physics and was automatically recommended to Indiana University. He graduated in 1917 and when he graduated he had COLORED printed all across his transcript. After graduating he served in World War I. When he returned he went on to pursue a career in teaching. He started instructing mathematics in a high school in Henderson, Kentucky. In 1922, he enrolled at Cornell University. When Cox's thesis adviser (William Lloyd) realized that he could have a opportunity to be the first African American to earn a Ph. D in mathematics he was fulled with joy and in 1925 that's what Cox's became. This was just 39 years after Cornell awarded someone with it's first Ph. D in mathematics. In that same year he became the head of mathematics and physics at West Virginia college. He stayed there for four years and then moved to Howard University. He retired in 1965 and then served as Chairman of the mathematics Department from 1957-1961. In 1969, he suffered from a brief illness and died in Cafritz Hospital. He was survived by his wife Beulah P. Kaufman and three sons James, Eugene, and Elbert. He is still honored today.
