It's either a ballot or a bullet." - Malcom X

This week’s talk: What no one had told me was that I was the one who would be considered a threat... OURfest • The Radical Left • Decided Voters • Brandishing

Special Guests: Steven Gross - Associate Professor at Temple School of Theater, Film, & Media Arts

"When some university staff members found out what I’d been up to, they warned me to restrict my walking to the places recommended as safe to tourists and the parents of freshmen. They trotted out statistics about New Orleans’s crime rate. But Kingston’s crime rate dwarfed those numbers, and I decided to ignore these well-meant cautions. A city was waiting to be discovered, and I wouldn’t let inconvenient facts get in the way. These American criminals are nothing on Kingston’s, I thought. They’re no real threat to me.

What no one had told me was that I was the one who would be considered a threat." - Garnette Cadogan
