Brothers and Sisters,
If any of you have checked your mail boxes over the past two days,
you
will have found the latest edistion of "The Fed." The back
page contains
a comic in honor of Black Heritage Month entitled "Blacky Fun
White
starring Kunta Korneluis and Steppin," serving not only as a
throwback to
the days of Jim Crow, but also adding to the pile of overtly racist
acts
committed on this campus. Enough is enough.
Today, we will be addressing this issue at a conference at Teacher's
College sponsored by the Association of Black Psychologists. The aim
of
the conference is to discover ways of combating racism in
educational
environments. World renowned author, feminist, and activist bell
hooks
will be speaking at 4:45. We will be meeting at 3:45 in the Malcolm
X
lounge from where we will all walk over to TC and get on the mic
before
sister hooks and address the conference of 700 masters and PhD
students
and Professors from all around the country. And this is only the
beginning.
PLEASE COME OUT AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT BY WEARING A BLACK ARM BAND
AND
MEETING AT 3:45 IN THE MALCOLM X LOUNGE. TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND
ANYONE YOU
KNOW TO JOIN THIS CAUSE BECAUSE IT EFFECTS US ALL.
