this friday we'll be showing LUMUMBA: DEATH OF A PROPHET at 7 pm.
unlike most weeks, though, immediately following, we will ALSO have a
dessert potluck, to give everyone an opportunity to meet fellow
peaceniks and schmooze over brownies and tea. no political agenda, we
just want to carve out a little social space for us beleaguered MIT
leftists.
when: THIS FRIDAY (10/5) at SEVEN P.M.
where: TBA, but somewhere in the middle of MIT
why: good movie, good company
bring: some kind of dessert, or failing that, an empty stomach
about the movie:
note that it is NOT the same lumumba that is currently playing at
kendall. this one was made in 1992, by raoul peck, the same
director, and i've heard from a few people that it is better than the
new one. here's a not-amazingly-descriptive review
http://www.newsreel.org/films/lumumba.htm
basically, lumumba was president of (then) zaire immediately after
independance but was deposed and killed a few months later by mobutu,
whom we all know and love. (see him with his good buddy george bush
sr. http://jafar.media.mit.edu/bush-mobutu.jpg )
there will be a reminder when we have chosen a room.
see you there,
aram
p.s. if you've made it this far, remember that peace-list is just for
ANNOUNCEMENTS and not discussion. articles are SOMETIMES acceptable,
but please use a lot of discretion. spa-discuss shouldn't have sent
us that article, and we should not have responded to it over the whole
list. there are roughly 300 people on the list, most of whom have
explicitly decided NOT to be on peace-makers, a better place for
articles and discussion.
