Hi Kartik, could you provide a link for non-specialists that explains what happened in the conflict and its resolution?

I am interested in India, its diaspora, and the relationship of both to them to the US and its politics.

Thank you for your brilliant work on so many subjects.

To be fair, it would have only been white males debating there at that time.

Great book and film about the real horror that friends of mine suffered. One note is that the actual Dozier School was in Marianna, not Tallahassee.

Retaining movie screens is a win. Opening up the screens to more student films expands the school's capacity. Can we hope it could be part of the Tallahassee Film Festival?

That owns hundreds of newspapers. I subscribe to support local journalism even though these corporate vampires siphon hundreds of millions annually.

If only, the Tallahassee Democrat and USA Today are both owned by Gannett, which kept the name after merger with GateHouse Media, which was purchased by Fortress Investment Group, which itself is now part of Mubadala Investment Co., one of the sovereign wealth funds of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

Someone at V-89 played "The Rat" by The Walkmen and lit reveries of Waterworks and Vinyl Fever.

The Tallahassee Democrat has a skeleton staff, a vestige left by Gannett/hedge fund rapacity.

Do what you can to help the young reporters with context and background. They do not know what they do not know.

I asked the Democrat writer to post the list. Has anyone posted the list?

If necessary, I pull it out the BOT meeting packet and post it myself.
