Re: Ward Churchill to Speak at DePaul University

Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider,
DePaul University Chicago

Dear Mr Holtschneider:

It has come to my attention that Professor Ward Churchill will be speaking on "human rights" at DePaul. Prof. Churchill has been active as the co-director of the Denver-based American Indian Movement of Colorado, a breakaway chapter of the American Indian Movement, since at least 1984.

That the American Indian Movement of Colorado is of a controversial nature ought to be known by one employed by a prestigious university. The view of "human rights" that would likely be presented by one formerly closely identified with the a domestic terrorist group would be only one point of view, and would probably not include activities of this group that resulted in government responses deemed "terrorist" by that organization.

Wouldn't a speaker who would add balance to the program be a good idea? In this way, students could be exposed to a diversity of opinion, something badly lacking when the issues of race relations, human rights and domestic terrorism are discussed.

BLACK BOB.
