Moderators John317 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Moderators Posted August 31, 2008 I saw some people, mostly elderly, with signs bearing the names of American soldiers. However, most of the protesters at Denver concentrated on the death of Iraqis because they believe that American soldiers are the invaders and have no business in Iraq. Of course, I was there to make a photographic record of the events and not because I agree with their positions.

Moderators John317 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Moderators Posted August 31, 2008 Glenn Spagnuolo, organizer of Recreate '68. And why are there so many people covering their faces with bandanas? The bandanas are like a badge of honor for those people wearing them. They consider themselves to be honest "outlaws" in a country full of traitors to the truth. For them the system has forced them to become "outlaw." So they don't wear them as a way of hiding their identity but rather as a way of drawing attention to their status as "outlaw." They would sometimes take off the bandanas and wear them on their heads or around their necks, as you see the men in these pictures have done. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Moderators John317 Posted September 1, 2008 Author Moderators Posted September 1, 2008 Kathleen Cleaver, widow of Eldridge Cleaver, co-founder of the Black Panther Party. The Wikipedia information on Mrs. Cleaver: Kathleen Neal Cleaver was born on May 13, 1945, in Dallas, Texas. Both of Kathleen’s parents had higher education; her father was a sociology professor at Wiley College in Marshall, Texas and her mother had a master’s degree in mathematics. Soon after Kathleen was born, her father, Ernest Neal, accepted a job as the direct of the Rural Life Council of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Six years later, Ernest joined the Foreign Service. The family moved abroad, and lived in such countries such as; India, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and the Philippines. Kathleen returned to the United States to attend a Quaker boarding school near Philadelphia, George School. She graduated with honors in 1963. She continued her education at Oberlin College in Ohio, and later transferred to Barnard College in New York. In 1966, she left college for a secretary job with the New York office of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). [edit]The Black Panther Party She was in charge of organizing a student conference at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. At the conference, Kathleen met the minister of information for the Black Panther Party, Eldridge Cleaver. After she met Eldridge, Kathleen moved to San Francisco in November, 1967, to join the Black Panther Party. Kathleen Neal and Eldridge Cleaver were married on December 27, 1967. Cleaver became the communications secretary and the first female member of the Party’s decision-making body. She also served as the spokesperson and press secretary. Notably, she organized the national campaign to free the Party’s minister of defense, Huey Newton, who was jailed. Cleaver also ran for the California state assembly for the Peace and Freedom party, but was unsuccessful. As a result of being part of the Black Panther Party, the Cleavers suffered from some acts of violence. The Cleavers’ apartment was raided in 1968 before a Panther rally by the San Francisco Tactical Squad on the suspicion of hiding guns and ammunition. Later that year, Eldridge was wounded in a shoot-out between Panther members and the police. Eldridge was charged with parole violation following the incident. He decided he did not want to face another incarceration and fled the country.

Moderators John317 Posted September 1, 2008 Author Moderators Posted September 1, 2008 Poetry readings for Leonard Peltier. Sioux Indian woman reading her poem for Leonard Peltier. In the second picture, a Sioux "warrior" recites a poem he wrote for the occasion. 8-25-08 (Ward Churchill in background in both photographs. His shirt has has the name "George Jackson" printed across the front. Jackson was a one of the "Soladad brothers" in prison during the 1960s and 70s. A revolutionary, he wrote letters from prison urging violence against the government, and these were published as a book. He was killed in an attempted escape from San Quentin. Google "George Jackson.") The Wikipedia on Leonard Peltier: Leonard Peltier (born September 12, 1944) is a Native American activist and member of the American Indian Movement. In 1977 he was convicted and sentenced to two consecutive terms of life imprisonment for the murder of two FBI Agents who died during a 1975 shoot-out on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. There has been considerable debate over Peltier’s guilt and the fairness of his trial. Some supporters and organizations, including Amnesty International, consider him to be a political prisoner. Amnesty International said, for example, that "Although he has not been adopted as a prisoner of conscience, there is concern about the fairness of the proceedings leading to his conviction and it is believed that political factors may have influenced the way the case was prosecuted." Numerous lawsuits have been filed on his behalf but none has succeeded. Peltier is currently incarcerated at the United States penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.
