{This is how collective we are, which is so wonderful to see! Since many of the people now in D.C. would have attended CAD’s 100th anniversary gala, David Eberwein sent this to the people in D.C. to let them know how things went yesterday.}

Cool! FYI yesterday's CAD gala was too wonderful to describe in words. Pitch-perfect, from the morning tribute to the arrestees during GG's and my presentation, thru Joey's activity where "mini think tanks" were done, thru the exciting PowerPoints of exhibitors (Deaf wax, Chad's mosdeux, Joey's vlog, etc.), and the absolutely stunning Deafhood monologues play @ the old csd theater (absolutely stunning- I'm telling u!), and the reception in the old cafeteria where David proposed to Alyce! Honestly, can't describe enuff here, but it was the most perfect Deaf-centered conference EVER! And that feeling, that awareness.. Shd be like that every day at Gallaudet, in our lives, etc.

Press conf now by alumni, fac n students it seems...
ΔŘHØΩ

Info from Delanne Woodall-Hamlow
) Pls come to Gally NOW. Press / media at 1 pm. Need a large ##### of
Alumni rep here today pls pls pls
2) Tmw am Alumni needed at 6th Street to form "human tunnel" with
posters stating to Faculty pleading for their stronger action
Alumni guys to wear ties and females dress up ...
AGAIN clarification on posters...focus is on Faculty for them to take
stand...their turn...do something....support the students... Nothing on
JK or King. Just on the Fac's support needed. That is all...
3) This is what Alumni is doing now to try to help the students in this
fight.
Thanks and Long live Gallaudet!

dr scoggins just spoke to the media demanding BoT to be here - to take over the adm part. NAD had offered their assitance in mediating between adm and the fssa. adm declined. scoggins pointed that its not abt deaf card color of skin card whatsoevr. its abt leadership. adm is incompetent - not able to take the lead and resolve. BoT need to be here now. its international problem.
