Hi Stuart and AWARE members (note: Stuart, if this email doesn't go to the
list, can you please forward it?),
This is elizaBeth Simpson. I am coordinating the Urbana Champaign People's
History Poster Project:
*The Celebrate Urbana-Champaign People’s History Project (CUCPHP) is a
collective effort to identify overlooked citizens, groups, and events that
have made a significant contribution to the social well being of the
Urbana-Champaign community. CUCPHP will publicize their impact via the
design and distribution of attractive, artistic posters. It is a
not-for-profit project that is funded in part by the Urbana Public Arts
program. For more details, please visist:

I would like to do a poster about an event that happened in the early days
of AWARE (or just before), in which Homeland Security was coming to take
away a community member named Ahmed, and many community members went to his
house in protest the morning of. I am looking for people who were there to
talk to, so that I can reconstruct the event. If you were there, or know
someone who was, please contact me at:
urbanapeopleshistory at gmail.com
or by phone at 344-8324
Also, if there are other people, events, groups that you would like to see a
poster made about, please let me know. For example, we could make a poster
about beginning of AWARE itself, which was a wonderful event in our local
history where many people came together around a common cause.
Thank you for your time,
elizaBeth
