Evelyn Jeong at "What Freedom Means to Me" 2021-05-15

 


Evelyn Jeong gave her second public speech at FSI's "What Freedom Means to Me" regional conference on May 15, 2021. Her first public speech? At FSI's "From NK to the USA" conference on April 3, 2021.


I was delighted to then join her during Q&A. Understandably, she was nervous during her speech, but she definitely relaxed during Q&A.



Then after we finished the speech and Q&A, it was then photo time! Yes, that is Yuna Jung with us!









We had an impromptu discussion on her YouTube channel last month.




Here's her Welcoming Message for the May 15th conference.

Scam? Yo Momma!

Note: This was originally posted shortly after Jesse Lee Peterson's book was published, reposted in 2005, and now because of a fight between black customers and a Korean merchant in Dallas, Texas. Scam? Yo Momma! During the summer of 2002 I was an observer to a dispute between the Asian owners of a Chinese takeout and some of their black customers in Washington, D.C. The month-long boycott began when a local activist accused a cook at a Chinese takeout of attempting to cook a piece of chicken he had allegedly dropped on the floor. Despite the best efforts of human rights activist Dick Gregory, popular talk-show host Joe Madison, and Rev. Walter Fauntroy, the protestors were unable to coax any media to report on the protest. On some days there were, by my unofficial count, as many as 100 people chanting songs and marching. But one key person was missing: Rev. Jesse Jackson. It was important to the foot soldiers at the boycott that someone from the media report on...

Radio, Harvard

I'll be a guest on XM 169 The Power this morning from 10:15 a.m. EST. I'll be talking about teaching English abroad. I'll be interviewed by Brian Higgins of MYB Talk . I sang last night for about five hours with friends but I'm sure my voice will be fine. Tuesday, I'll be interviewed by a Harvard University representative who wants my input on a new doctoral program for education leaders . It is a collaboration between the Harvard Graduate School of Education, the Harvard Business School and the Harvard Kennedy School. Some folks at the Booker Rising site are (again) reminding me that I'm not as smart as I think I am. CJL

AIDS and the government

Rev. Jeremiah Wright has attracted a lot of attention with his theories about the federal government creating AIDS in a laboratory. Here's an excerpt excerpt from Talk Radio Can't Handle the Truth By Casey Lartigue Jr. and Eliot Morgan Sunday, August 5, 2007; Page B03 Often, just one word can silence those who doubt the conspiracy theory of the day: COINTELPRO, the FBI 's notorious anticommunist program that was used against groups such as the Southern Christian Leadership Council and the Ku Klux Klan . From the Scottsboro Boys to the Tuskegee syphilis study, our government has displayed a willingness to conspire against its citizens. Likewise, truth-squadding becomes difficult when such theories are linked to hard data: Black Americans constitute about 12 percent of the U.S. population but about half of the nation's AIDS cases. That sets up the conditions in which, according to researchers Sheryl Thorburn Bird and Laura M. Bogart, more than 20 percent of black Americ...
