stop the encroachment on historically African American neighborhoods are
invited to tonight''s Chapel Hill *Town Council **Meeting at 7pm* at 405

affecting us all, including our lack of workplace protections and collective
bargaining and the gentrification of our neighborhoods. If you would like to
speak about your own experiences with either of these issues or in support of
the Sanitation 2 during public comment, please arrive at Town Hall at 6:45.
If you have questions about what you might talk about, please e-mail

pack the citizen comment section.

STORE EVENTS THIS WEEK

MEMBER PICK MOVIE NIGHT: "Persepolis," Thu Mar 31 @ 7pm

A fascinating and wholly unexpected take on Iran?s Islamic
revolutionbeginning in the 1970s, Persepolis is an enthralling, animated
feature about a spirited young woman who spends her life trying to deal with
the consequences of her nation?s history.

Based on an autobiographical comic book by Marjane Satrapi, the storyconcerns
Marji, whose natural fire and precociousness are slowly dampened by the rise
of religious extremists. Marji grieves over the imprisonment and execution of
a beloved uncle, then begrudgingly adapts to ever-tightening rules about
dress, social mores, education for women, and expectations about marriage and
divorce. Along the way, her grandmother and mother help keep Marji grounded
during her rebellious teens and encourage her to find life beyond Iran?s
borders, a decision that proves both a blessing and curse.

A unique window onto a crucial chapter of 20th century history,Persepolis is
graphically engaging with its black-and-white, bold lines and feeling of
repressed energy, fit to burst. The emotional content is so strong that after
awhile, one almost forgets the film is a cartoon.SOME APRIL EVENTS

talks about her new book, 1000 Days of Celibacy: A Race Against the Cockatoo.
She?ll share with you the dirty little details about her thousand day
celibate journey to find Mr. Possibility. Through her sarcastic commentary on
