This performance was recorded on August 13, 2008 at the Yoruba Association of Cuba in Havana. The group, Oba Ilú, plays a columbia, a type of rumba performed by solo dancers, who take turns. Traditionally the dance has been a kind of competition among men. However, some folklorists claim that when the dance originally emerged in rural Matanzas province, women also danced. This is disputed. Here, Isnavi takes a turn, challenging the view that women should not perform columbia.

The alleged diary of James Maybrick in which he allegedly confesses to the crimes and detailed the killings. This diary, according to a former Liverpool scrap metal merchant Michael Barrett, was found under the floorboards of Maybrick's home and given to him by a friend. The bottom of this page reads. “I give my name that all know of me, so history do tell what love can do to a gentleman born. Yours truly, Jack the Ripper.” Evidence of the legitimacy of this diary are dubious at best, as groundskeeper Michael Barrett later said the diary he found was forged, but retracted his statement a year after- claiming he did not want the media attention.

A library housed within the University of Michigan's Spectrum Center in the Union, the Jim Toy Library acquires the latest LGBT fiction and non-fiction and also offers DVDs, CDs, and board games in addition to its books. This library is added to our collection because it prioritized LGBT communities and their writing. The library is open to students, faculty, and visitors outside the institution. To check out books during open hours (Monday through Friday 9am - 6pm), however, one will need an M Card (University of Michigan ID). This library is named after LGBT activist and alumnus Jim Toy who established the now-called Spectrum Center in 1971.
