Fernandes as Gallaudet University’s next president marched Saturday from the school’s Northeast Washington campus to Capitol Hill. Estimates of the crowd size ranged from “hundreds” (Associated Press) to “about 2,000" (The Washington Post) to 4,000 (several deaf blogsites). Many of the marchers were Gallaudet alumni who came to Washington despite Gallaudet’s cancellation of homecoming. “This is deja vu all over again,” said Greg Hlibok, one of several http://www.deafweekly.com/backissues/102506.htm[6/15/2011 2:44:29 PM] Deafweekly October 25, 2006 speakers at Saturday’s rally and a student leader during the Deaf President Now movement of 1988 that led to I. King Jordan’s presidency. STUDENTS STAGE BRIEF TAKEOVER OF COLLEGE HALL Protesters took over the first floor of Gallaudet’s main administrative building, College Hall, just after midnight Tuesday night, covering windows with newspapers and spelling “J.K. OUT” in masking tape to the front door. They left Wednesday morning after campus police surrounded the building and cordoned it off with yellow tape. The same morning, Gallaudet employees attempted to reopen two gates that students had blocked, using a bulldozer to scoop up tents, clothes and bedding, injuring several students in the process, including two who were taken away in an ambulance. “That shows how they treat us and that shows what they think of us,” student Erin Moran told The Washington Post. HUNGER STRIKERS ENTER THIRD WEEK OF PROTEST Seven protesters remain on a hunger strike at Gallaudet. Their last meal occurred two weeks ago on October 13, “Black Friday,” the day 133 demonstrators were arrested. One hunger striker, a woman with Usher Syndrome, dropped out this week when her vision began to deteriorate. The remaining strikers have stopped drinking nutritional supplements such as V8 juice and vow to stop fluids altogether next Monday if Jane Fernandes is still in office. “To this day, Dr. Jordan and Dr. Fernandes have not once come out to see the group or contacted them for a meeting,” said a statement on the Gallaudet FSSA (faculty, staff, students and alumni) website (www.gufssa.org). TRUSTEES PLAN SPECIAL MEETING THIS WEEKEND The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Gallaudet’s Board of Trustees will hold a special meeting Sunday “if they can ensure the security that will be needed.” The meeting will reportedly take place at a hotel near Dulles Airport in Virginia, about 30 miles from Gallaudet. Protest leaders were making plans to charter buses to bring demonstrators to the hotel. Late in the week, it was reported that the meeting will actually occur on Saturday. MURDERS OF 2000-01 REPLAYED IN WAR OF WORDS The father of a Gallaudet student who was murdered on campus in September, 2000 wrote an article for The Washington Post titled, “When My Son Was Killed, Jane Fernandes Came Through for My Family, and the School.” Craig Plunkett of Portland, Ore., whose son Eric was one of two Gallaudet students killed by Joseph Mesa Jr. during the 2000-01 school year, said Fernandes “did a wonderful job of trying to make the campus safe” during Mesa’s “reign of terror.” In response, several former students who lived through the experience shared their own memories. Among their revelations: Fernandes left over 100 scared and hungry students in the cafeteria after the second murder, of Benjamin Varner in February 2001, because, as she said, “I forgot all about it.” ++++ADV+++++ADV+++++ADV++++ Make relay the BEST it can be!

Among her pronouncements: “As the first deaf woman president of Gallaudet, my appointment should be cause for celebration. This protest is against me.” Just one week earlier, Fernandes told the Post, “I believe it's not really about me.” The interview was widely derided by observers. DCist, a popular Washington, D.C. blog, titled its report on the interview, “Gallaudet’s Fernandes Gets Snippy in WaPo Chat,” and concluded: “Fernandes certainly didn’t help her cause with this chat.” TENT CITIES SPREAD TO SEVEN OTHER COUNTRIES There are now more than 80 “tent cities” throughout the United States and in seven other countries, organized to provide encouragement and support to the Gallaudet protesters. Eric Hamlow of Stockton, Calif. is offering a T-shirt with a map of the tent cities for $20. To learn more, go to www.deafeye.com. STUDENTS SAID TO VOTE FERNANDES OUT OF CLASS Blogger Ricky D. Taylor (www.ridorLIVE.com) reported Tuesday on a First Year Seminar course being taught this semester by Jane Fernandes. Quoting a Michigan freshman in the class, Taylor said Fernandes quickly lost control as students bombarded her with questions about her performance. Fernandes reportedly told the students take a vote, and all but one of the 15 students voted her out. As a result, said Taylor, she is no longer teaching the class. “If she cannot control 15 students, what makes you think she can control 1,800 students at Gallaudet?” he asked. GWU PRESIDENT: ‘LET THIS WOMAN BE PRESIDENT’ Stephen Joel Trachtenberg, president of George Washington University in Washington, D.C., weighed in on the Gallaudet controversy in The Daily Colonial this week. “Gallaudet cannot afford to have anarchy and student riots every time they turn over a president,” he said. “They’ve done it once and now they’re doing it again.” He criticized GWU Student Association President Lamar Thorpe for supporting the protesters and spending $141 on blankets and food. “You can’t go around getting into every fight that’s going on in every neighborhood,” he said. Trachtenberg’s conclusion: “They should let this woman be president for a few years and see how it goes.” TRUSTEE: ‘I ALWAYS THOUGHT DEAF PEOPLE WERE DUMB’ http://www.deafweekly.com/backissues/102506.htm[6/15/2011 2:44:29 PM] Deafweekly October 25, 2006 Gallaudet Board of Trustees member Ken Levinson met with alumni Butch Zein, Robin Horwitz, James Brune and Bridgetta Bourne-Firl in San Francisco last Tuesday and reportedly ended the meeting by saying, “I always thought deaf people that use sign language were dumb people but eventually I learned they weren’t, and I enjoyed chatting with you all.” National Association of the Deaf President Bobbie Beth Scoggins recalled Levinson making a similar comment 20 years earlier. Levinson quickly issued a statement saying, “the recent negative statement attributed to me about deaf peoples’ abilities is totally inaccurate.” ++++ADV+++++ADV+++++ADV++++ Passages Deaf Travel presents Deaf Freedom Cruise 2007!

October 3-5, 2018 baltimorehomecoming.com #bmorehome#baltimorehome 1 Header here PHOTO BY ISAAC GUERRERO @S_ISAAC_GUERRERO #baltimorehome 2 #baltimorehome 3 WELCOME DEAR FRIENDS, Welcome home! We are so excited to have you back in Charm City for the first annual Baltimore Homecoming. We are grateful to the hundreds of leaders from across Baltimore – reverends and educators, artists and business executives, activists and philanthropists – who joined together to organize this event. We each have our own memories of Baltimore – a humid summer afternoon or spring ballgame, a favorite teacher or a first job. We hope that you take time while you’re home to reconnect with your past and savor the city – catch up with friends and family, drop by a favorite restaurant, or visit an old neighborhood. Reconnecting is the first step. But our deeper hope is that you begin to forge a new relationship to the city. Whether you left five years ago or fifty, Baltimore has evolved. The Baltimore of today has a dynamic real estate market and budding technology sector. Our artists are leading the national conversation on race and politics. Our nonprofit entrepreneurs are on the cutting-edge of social change. The Port of Baltimore is one of the fastest growing in the U.S. The city’s growth has emerged from and complemented our historic pillars of strength – a rich cultural heritage, world-class research institutions, strategic geographic location, and beautiful waterfront. Baltimore faces significant challenges that we cannot ignore: segregation, entrenched poverty, crime and violence.

    THE HOLLYWOOD YOUTH NARRATIVE AND THE FAMILY VALUES CAMPAIGN, 1980-1992 by Clare Connors Bachelor of Arts, Macalester College, 1982 Masters of Arts, University of Louisville, 1987 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2005 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Clare Connors It was defended on April 15, 2005 and approved by Dr. Marcia Landy Dr. Troy Boone Dr. Carol Stabile Dr. Lucy Fischer Dissertation Director ii THE HOLLYWOOD YOUTH NARRATIVE AND THE FAMILY VALUES CAMPAIGN, 1980-1992 Clare Connors, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2005 The dissertation seeks to identify and analyze the cultural work performed by the Hollywood youth narrative during the 1980s and early nineties, a period that James Davison Hunter has characterized as a domestic “culture war.” This era of intense ideological confrontation between philosophical agendas loosely defined as “liberal” and “conservative,” increasing social change, and social polarization and gender/sexual orientation backlash began with Ronald Reagan’s landslide victory in 1980 and continued for twelve years through the presidency of George Bush, Sr. The dissertation examines the Hollywood youth narrative in the context of the family values debate and explicates its role in negotiating and resolving social conflict in a period of intense social change and ideological confrontation. The dissertation theorizes the historic and cultural function of the Hollywood youth narrative in “translating” complex social problems into generational and familial conflicts that can be easily, if superficially, resolved through conventional Hollywood genre narrative structures.
