Bring your desktops and laptops for guided assistance on liberating your OS. We'll have on hand Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE, and Mint. "Imagine a crossroads where four competing auto dealerships are situated. One of them (Microsoft) is much, much bigger than the others. It started out years ago selling three-speed bicycles (MS-DOS); these were not perfect, but they worked, and when they broke you could easily fix them. There was a competing bicycle dealership next door (Apple) that one day began selling motorized vehicles--expensive but attractively styled cars with their innards hermetically sealed, so that how they worked was something of a mystery. | ||

Documentarian Anne Lewis presents her acclaimed film Morristown. Morristown: in the air and sun is a working class response to globalization. It engages the audience in the issues of immigration, factory flight, and the organized demand for economic justice. Filmed over an 8-year period in the mountains of east Tennessee, interior Mexico, and Ciudad Juarez, Morristown: in the air and sun is rooted in the authentic expression of workers who speak about their lives, work, disappointments, and hope. These conversations are combined with scenes in factories, fields, union halls, Mexican stores, city parks, and employment agencies. The documentary travels to the U.S.-Mexican border (El Paso – Juarez) to create deeper understanding of factory flight out of Morristown, and to interior Mexico to look at the forces that cause immigration. Morristown ends with a stunning union victory at a large poultry processing plant in Morristown, Tennessee. | ||

Award-winning author and filmmaker Frank B. Wilderson, III was born in 1956. Originally from New Orleans, his family moved when he was six to Minneapolis, where they became the first Black homeowners in Kenwood. Both his parents were psychologists, and their academic careers moved the family through Chicago, Detroit, and eventually Berkeley, where Wilderson came of age under tutelage of the Black Power and student movements. In the late 1970s and 1980s he studied and taught poetry and fiction at The Loft Literary Center. He left Minneapolis again in 1989 to pursue an MFA in creative writing at Columbia University; later that same year he went to South Africa for the first time on a research trip funded by the Jerome Foundation on a grant for emerging artists. | ||
