[Peace] this sunday

Fri Nov 5 12:21:05 CST 2004

Beautiful AWARE people:

We pushed FnB back to 630 this week. We are sure there is lots AWARE has to 
discuss, and those discussions are probably paramount. I hope to be at the 
AWARE meeting for those discussions, and hopefully to briefly chat about 
creating a good synergy between the 2 groups (e.g., come for aware, stay for 
FnB).

Also, I will be attending SOA, but will be continuing on to Florida, so if 
anyone needs a one way ticket to Georgia for some reason...

in solidarity,
scott

>Sunday, November 7 - Thursday, November 11. She will be speaking each night
>of her residency. Her Opening Program "Living For Change" will take place
>Sunday, November 7 at 7:30pm. All events are open to the public and take

>
>About Grace Lee Boggs:
>Grace Lee Boggs is an activist, writer and speaker whose over sixty years 
>of
>political involvement encompass the major U.S. social movements of this
>century: Labor, Civil Rights, Black Power, Asian American, Women's and
>Environmental Justice. In 1992, she co-founded Detroit Summer, a
>multicultural, intergenerational youth program to rebuild, redefine and
>respirit Detroit from the ground up. Currently she is active in Detroit
>Summer and with the Freedom Schoolers, writes for the weekly Michigan
>Citizen, and does a monthly commentary on WORT (Madison, Wisconsin). Her
>autobiography, Living for Change, is widely used in university classes on
>social movements and autobiography writing. A plaque in her honor is
>displayed at the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, New York.
>
>Schedule:
>Sunday, November 7
>		7:30pm - Living for Change
>		Grace Boggs will review her 89-year journey, from her birth
>to Chinese immigrant parents in 1915 to involvement in the Black Power,
>Women's, Asian American, Environmental Justice, Education for Democracy, 
>and
>Anti-War Movements. Today all these issues have become interconnected. Last
>week's election results have made it more urgent than ever that we tie them
>together with a vision that people can begin working toward. How do we
>become solution-oriented visionaries?  Connect issues? Rebuild, redefine,
>and re-spirit our cities from the ground up? Practice transformation? Grow
>our souls?
>
>Monday, November 8
>		7:30 pm - From Black Power to Beyond Black & White
>		Grace was the coordinator of the all-black Michigan Freedom
>Now Party in 1964 and one of the main organizers of the 1963 Grassroots
>Leadership Conference where Malcolm made his famous speech less than two
>weeks before the assassination of JFK. In this session we will discuss the
>development of the Black Power movement in the 1960s, the new challenges
>arising in the 1970s from de-industrialization and the devastation of our
>cities and communities and current issues.
>
>Tuesday, November 9
>		7:30pm - The Future of Education
>		How are we going to redefine education so that 30-50% of
>inner city children do not drop out of school, thus ensuring that large
>numbers will end up in prison?  Is it enough to call for  "Education, not
>Incarceration"?  Or do we need a paradigm shift in our concept of 
>schooling?
>Should education be mainly for jobs? How do we educate for democracy, not
>passivity? What would a democratic classroom look like?
>
>Wednesday, November 10
>		7:30pm - Women and the Building of a New World
>		When women began meeting in small groups forty years ago,
>laughing and crying over stories of growing up female in a male-dominated
>society, we/they had no idea that we were starting a movement that would 
>not
>only struggle for women's rights but also challenge the Western concept of
>pursuing the development of the productive forces at the expense of the
>Earth, indigenous peoples and women.
>
>Thursday, November 11
>		7:30pm - "Another World is Possible"
>		From the armed uprising of the Zapatistas in Mexico to the
>shutdown of the WTO meetings in the "Battle of Seattle" to the formulation
>of new visions at the World Social Forums in Brazil and India, movements 
>for
>social justice have gone global in opposition to corporate globalization.
>What is at stake? What are they fighting for? What world are we creating 
>and
>how will we get there?

>"Klezmer meets Godot and Brothers Grimm.... The Myshkins are first-rate

>KPBS San Diego
>
>"Anyone aspiring to write political satire should hear this brilliant duo."
>Sing Out! magazine
>
>"A remarkably skilled pair of singer-songwriters....
>Very funny, lively, smart and political. Their CD, Shiny Round Object,
>is my favorite recording of the last millennium."
>Charlie King
>
>"The songs are meticulous masterpieces, lyrically and musically.... each
>song an American epic unto itself. The Prince Myshkins are true American
>queer music revolutionaries, and Shiny Round Object is the new direction of
>indie-pendence."
>Outvoice Reviews
>
>"A brilliant musical duo whose biting political satire has enlivened San
>Diego's music scene. Their original songs challenge, entertain, and
>enlighten."
