Activism and Ironic Identities Political activists have not historically been known for their fun-loving sense of humor and playfulness. Nor do they have a reputation for communicating in riddles, deliberately speaking the opposite of what they mean. However, as the realities of mass media communication have evolved, so too have the tactics employed by activists for capturing the media spotlight. More and more groups are now building their actions around a playfully ironic sensibility, creating attention-getting stunts, graphics, and slogans, along with pre-packaged media sound-bites. Within this larger trend, one particular tactic involves a form of masquerade, as groups very deliberately assume the identities of their opponents. -

Selected Chronology of Political Protests and Events in Lawrence
SELECTED CHRONOLOGY OF POLITICAL PROTESTS AND EVENTS IN LAWRENCE 1960-1973 By Clark H. Coan January 1, 2001 LAV1tRE ~\JCE~ ~')lJ~3lj(~ ~~JGR§~~Frlt 707 Vf~ f·1~J1()NT .STFie~:T LA1JVi~f:NCE! i(At.. lSAG GG044 INTRODUCTION Civil Rights & Black Power Movements. Lawrence, the Free State or anti-slavery capital of Kansas during Bleeding Kansas, was dubbed the "Cradle of Liberty" by Abraham Lincoln. Partly due to this reputation, a vibrant Black community developed in the town in the years following the Civil War. White Lawrencians were fairly tolerant of Black people during this period, though three Black men were lynched from the Kaw River Bridge in 1882 during an economic depression in Lawrence. When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1894 that "separate but equal" was constitutional, racial attitudes hardened. Gradually Jim Crow segregation was instituted in the former bastion of freedom with many facilities becoming segregated around the time Black Poet Laureate Langston Hughes lived in the dty-asa child. Then in the 1920s a Ku Klux Klan rally with a burning cross was attended by 2,000 hooded participants near Centennial Park. Racial discrimination subsequently became rampant and segregation solidified. Change was in the air after World "vV ar II. The Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy (LLPD) formed in 1945 and was in the vanguard of Post-war efforts to end racial segregation and discrimination. This was a bi-racial group composed of many KU faculty and Lawrence residents. A chapter of Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) formed in Lawrence in 1947 and on April 15 of the following year, 25 members held a sit-in at Brick's Cafe to force it to serve everyone equally. -

MC Trey: the 'Feline Force' of Australian Hip Hop Tony Mitchell
ARTIST PROFILE MC Trey: The ‘Feline Force’ of Australian Hip Hop Tony Mitchell A Hip Hop Role Model Fijian-Australian MC Trey, aka Thelma Thomas, is arguably Australia’s leading female MC, who has begun to receive prominent mainstream media coverage for her Pacific Islander style, dynamic live performances, distinctively street-wise and musically diverse recordings, and her hip hop workshops. Described by Andrew Drever in the Sydney Morning Herald as ‘one of Australian hip hop’s true role models,’1 to date she has released two acclaimed mini-albums, the ten-track Daily Affirmations (2000)—described as a ‘landmark for the Australian hip hop scene’ and album of the week in Sydney street mag Revolver2—and the eight-track Tapastry Tunes (2003), described by George Palathingal in the Sydney Morning Herald’s ‘Metro’ as ‘[d]emonstrating potentially the biggest leap forward for Australian hip hop.’3 Trey (initially an anagram for ‘The Rhymin’ Edifying Young’un’) has also contributed tracks to numerous Australian hip hop compilations, most notably the all-woman First Words (2000), released on Sydney-based label Mother Tongues, described by label founder Heidi Pasqual as ‘the first label in the world dedicated to the development of Women in Hip Hop Music.’ On the US release Best of International Hip Hop (Hip-O Universal, 2000) she represents Australia with her ‘melodic, realistic, personal, political, positive’ MC style, alongside a host of non-Anglophone male MCs and crews from Argentina, Algeria, Switzerland, Israel, Romania, Greece, Austria, Greenland, Croatia, France, South Africa and Portugal. Trey’s track on the international hip hop compilation, ‘Feline Forces,’ is about the African- American and Australian women in hip hop who have influenced her, from Roxanne Shante to MC Lyte, Baby Love, MC Que and local graffiti artist and MC Charlene aka Spice, who ‘in ’88 dropped the first Aussie female tune’ (on the Virgin compilation of Australian hip hop 1 Andrew Drever, ‘Trey bien,’ Sydney Morning Herald 27 June 2003: ‘Metro’ 10.
