Serbia in paradox: Support for moderate women politicians can help country achieve a better future.

The country, in turn, is looking for ways to redefine itself through two complex processes: seeking European integration and improving relationships with its neighbors.

been held annually during Women's History Month since 1996.
| Hunt participated
in the City of Boston's "The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service and Celebration," Monday, January 18, 2010. She read the words of Dr. King's Montgomery Improvement Association Mass Meeting at Holt Street Baptist Church speech, given on December 5, 1955, to a crowded Faneuil Hall Marketplace. A short history of Faneuil Hall: Christened the Cradle of Liberty due to its vital role in revolutionary politics, it was at Faneuil Hall in 1764 that Americans first protested against the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act, setting the doctrine that would come to be known as no taxation without representation. Gatherings to protest the Stamp Act, the Townshend Act, and the Redcoat occupation would follow, as would one of the first in a series of meetings that would culminate in the Boston Tea Party. The statue of Samuel Adams in front of Faneuil Hall could not be better placed, for it was here that he did his greatest work, dominating town meetings and staging a funeral for the victims of the Boston Massacre. The third floor is Headquarters for the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts, the third oldest chartered military organization in the world and the oldest in the western hemisphere. Following the Revolution and to this day, Faneuil Hall retained its position as a stage for debate. |
