Updates: Equality Ride @ Univ. of the Cumberlands; Soulforce fundraising
by Matt | March 30th, 2007 |I have had absolutely no time to actually sit down and write out a post on the craziness which was the stop at the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, KY. My co-organizer, Bronwen Tomb, and I could never have expected what we saw there; especially the police’s blatant disregard of the Constitution and First Amendment. Cumberlands was pretty much a live demo of what the Clinton, MS, police had threatened to do before they received a letter from the ACLU and backed down.
Anyways… I’ll get a post up soon and some video. I hear I gave an awesome speech at the rally, lol.

Today is our stop at Samford University (a Baptist school), in Birmingham, AL. The school is letting us on campus and has worked with us to create a schedule of activities and events all day. At around 1:30pm, the presentation group I belong to will talk to the law school about civil and human rights as well as some recent legislation and other stuffs important to the LGBT community. Our presentation includes a multimedia presentation put together by none other than… little ole’ me, lol. Check it out on YouTube or watch it below.

I’m pretty sure the ACLU would love to sign on to sue both the city of Clintonville and the city of Williamsburg. If not, with technology today, it takes next to no effort to destroy the name of the city to the point that they would have no choice but to publically apologize for the way they’ve treated you.
