One more thing before I hit the sack...
I attended a neeting to prepare ourselves when we are approached by the media. Here is what I learned: we need to keep our focus on just FOUR points:
1. This protest was initiated by people of color on campus which escalated. Right now it is no longer limited to Gallaudet community. It has gone global.
2. This protest will not stop. Period. Until JK resigns and the University starts the search process over again.
3. The BOT must show leadership, not be led by the President.
4. JK has failed in her leadership on campus over 11 years. Promised made were not followed through, especially on issues on audism, racism, etc.
The media tends to sway from the focus. So when the media points away from the focus, we must bring it back to these four points.
Rick, Val, and I have learned soooo much from this aspect of protest!!!!
The group consists of fantastic people, including Tara!!
Now I'm hitting the sack. Good night. Hugs to Fremont Village from Gallaudet Village!!!
