Heruka:
it'ds been pretty slow here lately. I'm sure that'll turn around sooner or later. Maybe. that's what we said before Wax and bela disappeared. I'm sure it will. Just a lull right now. which is probably healthy. some have been on this board in it's many incarnations constantly for six years or so. I mean, it's not like we have to drive across the state to see each other. right?

A Terrorist at Duke
Laura Whitehorn will be a guest speaker at Duke University's African and African-American studies program on March 3. Who is Laura Whitehorn? Here's the bio on the department's Web page:
Laura Whitehorn is a revolutionary anti-imperialist who spent over 14 years in federal prison as a political prisoner. An out lesbian, she initiated and worked in HIV peer education and support projects in each of the three federal prisons in which she did time. Since her release, she's worked with POZ Magazine, a national monthly for the communities affected by HIV. She is now writing about HCV/HIV co-infection in the prisons. She has also researched the many cases in the U.S. of HIV positive people locked up for supposed "crimes of transmission." She is also involved in work toward the release of all the remaining political prisoners in U.S. prisons, and she lives in Manhattan with her lover, the writer Susie Day.
That's more information than anyone could possibly want about Whitehorn's sex life--yet at the same time, it's not nearly enough information. The claim that Whitehorn was a "political prisoner" led us to think there was something Duke wasn't telling its students; after all, America does not throw people in prison for political reasons. This page from ImageOut, a Rochester, N.Y.-based gay organization, fills in the blanks. It's an ad for a screening of "Out: The Making of a Revolutionary," a documentary about Whitehorn:
Planting a bomb in the U.S. Capitol Building in 1983 was the culmination of a lifetime of radical protest for Laura Whitehorn, and 14 years in federal penitentiary have only solidified her stance as a committed American revolutionary. . . . More than simply a life and times story, OUT: The Making of a Revolutionary is a powerful indictment against the incarceration system, where still today over 100 political prisoners remain imprisoned for speaking out against the U.S. Government.
Nannerl Keohane is the president of Duke, and Charles Payne is director of the African and African-American studies program. Do they think that bombing the U.S. Capitol is a way of "speaking out," and that bringing a terrorist to campus is an appropriate way of teaching "African and African-American studies"?
