Mary

E-mail from Oct 6th.

Greetings everyone -

We had a great meeting this past Sunday hope you can join us at the 
next meeting.

Sunday, Oct 30th
12-4pm
Center for Contemplative Mind in Society
199 Main St. 3rd Floor, Northampton
( a couple of doors down from Haymarket Cafe - and across from City Hall)

In the last meeting we made progress conceptualizing the what and the 
how of the Anti-racism Leadership Institute  (one major focus will be 
training on whiteness and white privilege analysis as we have stated 
in previous e-mails).  We also discussed how to support the Junebug 
residency hosted by New Word Theater in December by helping to 
organize Story Circles in the community.  Junebug Productions is an 
activist theater from New Orleans.  www.newworldtheater.org

The group decided to step back from the network idea and to embrace a 
coalition that will connect organizations and welcome individuals in 
the coalition.  This plan is up for further discussion.

Soulfighter ( Maurice Taylor) talked about recently attending the 
Commemoration of the MAAFA at St. Paul Community Baptist Church in 
Brooklyn, NY.  He suggested that people attend the upcoming 
Commemoration of the MAAFA in Ct. on November 4th and 5th.  Maurice 
will be looking into details for the group and several members said 
they will carpool to the event.  We'll provide more information about 
attending the event and carpooling.

Please see details below about the Commemoration of the MAAFA from 
two different sites.

Have a great October
Mary

THE MAAFA (African Holocaust) 

The MAAFA is a Kiswahili term for "Disaster" or "Terrible 
Occurrence". This is the  word that best describes the more than 500 
hundred years of suffering of people of African descent  through 
Slavery, Imperialism, Colonialism, Invasions and Exploitation.
