The ensuing silence
prompted a couple of
his proteges, Fathers
Garrpe (Adam Driver)
and Rodrigues (Andrew
Garfi eld) to mount a des-
perate search for their
mentor, despite the fact
that discovery of their
identities might mean
instant death.
In 1633, the perilous
trek began, and that
ill-advised expedition is
the subject of Silence, a
faith-based docudrama
directed and co-written
by Martin Scorcese. The

Professor
Dyson’s
point there is that white-
ness is an arbitrary (as
opposed to a scientifi c)
construct which aff ords
one group advantages
and privileges at the ex-
pense of others. He ar-
gues that “whiteness is
made up, and that white
history disguised as
American history is a
fantasy, as much a fanta-
sy as white superiority
and white purity.”
If I were Dyson, I
wouldn’t be holding my
breath for a positive
reception from his in-
tended audience, given
the ascension of Don-
ald Trump and the cel-
ebration of rednecks in
the runaway best sell-

might be better off re-

It is our primary goal as a labor union to better the lives of all people working
in the building trades through advocacy, civil demonstration, and the long-held
belief that workers deserve a “family wage” - fair pay for an honest day’s work.
A family wage, and the benefi ts that go with it, not only strengthens families, but also
allows our communities to become stronger, more cohesive, and more
responsive to their citizens’ needs.
Our family wage agenda refl ects our commitment to people working in the building
trades, and to workers everywhere. In this small way, we are doing our part to help
people achieve the American Dream. This dream that workers can hold dear
regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, creed, or religious beliefs.
