[lbo-talk] University of Michigan: Reverse decision to disinvite Alice Walker

[Carrol Cox]

Could you tell us a bit about the situation referred to. Who invited her in
the first place? Why the jerks there are disinviting her. And so forth.

Web sites give me too damn much trouble (because of my sight) to ever visit
one unless I know what to expect there.
