<p>
Good Afternoon everyone! Just thought I'd let you know about the  
events coming up at your (favorite) local bookstore and community  
center (that would be I-Books, yo!)... Just two coming up in the next  
week, so this'll be short and sweet!<br />
<br />
THURSDAY OCTOBER 7 @ 6:30 PM DISCUSSION WITH AUTHOR OF  
&quot;REFLECTIONS FROM THE EDGE: TWO DECADES OF ESSAYS ON RACE,  
CULTURE, AND POLITICS FROM A YOUNG SOUTHERN WRITER.&quot;<br />
<br />
  Join us for a reading from and discussion of Dr. Jonathan  
Livingston's book &quot;Reflections From the Edge: Two Decades of  
Essays on Race, Culture, and Politics from a young southern  
writer.&quot; His book contains a collection of ten essays which have  
been published in newspapers throughout the Southeast and Midwest over  
a 15-year period. (go to  internationalistbooks.org for more info)<br />
<br />
TUESDAY OCTOBER 12 @ 7pm SHARP! </p><p>Join us for a discussion with  
political prisoner for 40+ years, Marshall Eddie Conway - a Black  
Panther and activist. He will be speaking about his book &quot;The  
Greatest Threat&quot; about the U.S. Government's illegal counter  
intelligence program (COINTELPRO), used to attack the Black Panther  
Party and movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Eddie will call in from  
prison to read from his book and answer questions. All proceeds from  
the book go to Eddie's legal defense fund.<br /><br />Please note:  
this is a very special event! Eddie Conway will actually be calling us  
from prison to do this reading/discussion. Therefore, it is very  
important that if you want to attend this event that you arrive before  
7:00 pm (preferably around 6:45pm) so that everyone can get situated  
and settled before Eddie phones in at 7:00. He has a limited amount of  
time to speak with us and we want to make the most out of this unique  
opportunity! <br /><br />This event is FREE, but please consider  
bringing a small donation for Eddie's legal defense fund.<br />
<br />
In a couple weeks... <br />
Oct 20 - October Political Prison Letter Writing Night. Visit the  
event listing at internationalistbooks.org for more info on who we'll  
be writing this month!</p><p>Oct 22 - William 'Upski' Wimsatt, author  
of &quot;Please Don't Bomb the Suburbs&quot; will be joining us! (He's  
also the author of  &quot;Bomb the Suburbs&quot; and &quot;No More  
Prisons&quot;)</p><p></p><p>Thanks for reading y'all! Hope to see you  
at I-Books soon!</p><p></p><p>Laurin</p><p>Outreach Coordinator</p>
