Milwaukee, December: Wisconsin Cuba Coalition Series Of Events

http://wicuba.wordpress.com/

“… the production of this art collective has been deeply influenced by the nature of materials shortages on the island. Ediciones Vigia has demonstrated for decades that artistic expression can never be suppressed by international or domestic machinations…. Vigia’s esthetic is specific to this local environment, while also being very international in reach. In this sense, hardship breeds community, beauty, and meaning. Beauty and meaning engender understanding, compassion, and positive response. Ars longa, and thus ultimately will always triumph over politics.”  –-Max Yela, Head, Special Collections, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries and part of the panel presenting at Redlines on Friday Dec. 5, 6-8pm, 1422 N. 4th Street in Milwaukee.

Rev. Pinkney & Supporters Fight Lynch Mob Mentality In Benton Harbor, MI; Mobilizing To Pack Sentencing Hearing December 15

http://voiceofdetroit.net/

Coverage from Diane Bukowski:

DETROIT –An announcement of Rev. Edward Pinkney’s Oct. 3 conviction by an all-white jury on five felony charges elicited wild applause and a standing ovation at a monthly Republican meeting Nov. 15 in St. Joseph, Rev. Pinkney told VOD this week.

The life-long Benton Harbor activist said an individual who attended the meeting also told him that Berrien County Clerk Sharon Tyler and Sheriff L. Paul Bailey, both instrumental in concocting phony charges of “forgery under the Michigan election law” against him, were part of the merriment.

“There’s a lynch mob mentality there,” he said. “But we’re going to rock their world; I’m expecting fireworks there by the time of my sentencing Dec. 15…”
