Ward Churchill to Speak at DePaul University
Activist, Author and Scholar, Ward Churchill will be speaking at DePaul University. Famous for his involvemet in the American Indian Movement and his books like "Pacifism as Pathology" and the essay that ignited a firestorm of controversy last Spring "On the Justice of Roosting Chickens", Churchill will speak on human rights for people of color. This event is free and open to the public. Already the DePaul Campus republicans are talking about protesting the event. Boy, will they be outnumbered.
October 20th
5:30 pm
Student Center room 314a
(Student center located on sheffield and belden, one block south of the Fullerton El Stop)
Also, Professor Norman Finkelstein, will have a book signing at the Barnes and Noble downtown at DePaul's Loop Campus (1 E. Jackson) and the event is on Tuesday September 20th at 12:30
Finkelstein's new book is called "Beyond Chutzpah, on the misuse of anti-semitism and abuse of history". It's a book about how Israeli apologists distort the facts about Israels human rights abuses and contribute to the oppression of Palestinians. The interesting thing about this event is that Barnes and Noble cancelled the event, but after activists and Palestine supporters called Barnes and Noble to compain, the event was rescheduled.
