However, time and circumstance moves me to dare to contact you, not on my behalf, but on behalf of my beloved wife and sister, Cindy Ball. You see sir, I believe she has stumbled upon another vein of understanding our plight that might benefit our people. She is receiving her Masters degree in Telecommunications this month. Part of her Masters thesis was a short documentary entitled "An African American Quest for Authenticity". She journeyed to Ghana, West Africa to interview over 20 of our brothers and sisters who decided to leave America to live in Africa. Her professors were so impressed that they have endorsed it for screening on local PBS next month. We are hoping it will be selected for nationwide viewing. We have also begun screening it locally and have noticed the power it has transmitted to the audiences. Do you have any advice to share with us regarding how to expose this film to a wider audience? Would you be willing to read a synopsis of her thesis and view the film for yourself? I know this is asking a lot for a very busy and involved brother, but could not think of anyone else that would be likely to help us out. We await your response. Peace and love to you and yours. Plus, continue to speak truth to power, my brother. Brother West,

Girmatzion Seattle, WA Tue, 23 Feb 2010 04:50:35 +0000 http://www.cornelscorner.com/talk-to-cornel#comment-1017 Hello Dr. West, I met you in your last visit to Seattle at the Barnes & Nobel in the University district. I was the young man in the last group that you talked to and took pictures with wearing a suit "looking sharp" in your words. There has been something that has been bothering me and it has to do with the U.S. Census where they consider black people to be "NEGRO", in the same section with Black and African American. In my eyes representing a form of subliminal labelism to society, because when everyone goes to the page in the form they will read these terms. I would like some input on what you think, and maybe have you come out here to a disucssion that my Black Student Union will be working on putting together for next quarter. Here is my cell phone number also (206) 551-9040, thank you. Respectfully, Jonathan Y.
