Soror, please keep us posted.

They must have taken it off the air because it is not allowing me to pull it up.

Here is an article about the march I just completed.

Oh MY GOD. I can't move. My heart goes out to the parents of this young man who lost his life senselessly. :mad: :( :confused: This makes no sense and it took the nurse examining him for them to realize he was hurt. I hope they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. They need to be put in a camp like that. No one deserves to die that way.

A few of my pics from the protest:

AKA wasn't the only D9 sorority present, the young lady below center is a member of Delta Sigma Theta :) I would venture to say that there was representation of every D9 org. ( I was rocking my "SKEE-WEE" tote bag :D)

ETA: Protesters were wearing a bandage on the face to represent the abuse that Martin Lee Anderson suffered at the hands of the officials who murdered him.

D9 represent and Skee-Weeeeeeee to all of my sorors and frats who were out for the cause. Maybe this will encourage more chapters to be about positive activism instead of hazing.

Much love to all of those who participated in some way with the March. I am just still so sadden by that video. My God people no longer value life.

Geraldo interview of the Forensics Report
 

The Forensics report indicated that he did not died due to Sickle Cell Trait. Why haven't arrests been made?

Bay County has closed its boot camp
 

Bay County has closed its boot camp, and the House Justice Appropriations Committee wants to replace camps statewide with residential programs. The U.S. Justice Department is also investigating possible civil rights violations in the case.

Was this a state run program? Or a state sponsored prgram that was run by an independant company?


I remember a few years ago that there was a big blow up about boot camps being terrible places in Arizona. It seems that alot of them are independantly run.

This has a summary of some of the deaths in some boot camp situations . . . its a little biased but if you scroll to the news aricles it lists some of the issues.

I believe it was a state run program.

Dayum. Jesse gets around. He was just in LA. :D :p






(*coughstirringupyshtcoughsniffcough*) LOL

ETA: What? Jesse and 'nem were too good to wear a band-aid? :D LOL

Thanks for your report and pics, Soror Skee!

All those smiles make it look like you're at a party :)

It's always a great feeling to be in the presence of so many beautiful, intelligent, socially conscious black students. Black college students who took time out of their weekend and their exam studies to fight for a good cause. It was moving and reassuring to see that the future of the African American community is in the hands of people who will not take injustice lying down. Damn right we had lots to smile about. But you wouldn't know anything about that.

ETA: Be assured that your people's attempts at oppression will never break the Black spirit.

*singing*...and with a smile ;)
