<br>
<span style="color:#F80000;">CORNEL WEST</span></span></b><span style="font-size:16.0pt;">
is one of America's most provocative public intellectuals and has been a
champion for racial justice since childhood. His writing, speaking, and
teaching weave together the traditions of the black Baptist Church, progressive
politics, and jazz. <i>The New York Times</i> has praised his “ferocious moral
vision.” Dr. West currently teaches at Princeton University.<span style="color:#F82400;"><br>
<br>
</span><b><span style="color:#F80000;">CARL DIX</span></b> is a longtime
revolutionary and a founding member of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA.
In 1970, Carl was one of the Fort Lewis 6, six GIs who refused orders to go to
Vietnam. He served 2 years in Leavenworth Military Penitentiary for this stand.
In 1985, Carl initiated the “Draw The Line” statement, a powerful condemnation
of the bombing of the MOVE house in Philadelphia. In 1996, Carl was a
co-founder of the October 22nd Coalition to Stop Police Brutality. Carl
coordinated the Katrina hearings of the 2006 Bush Crimes Commission.</span><span style="font-size:32.0pt;color:#F82400;"></span></p>

I want to personally invite you to come out, and to buy a $100 premium ticket
for the event. Be part of making the night a great success -- having big
societal impact and raising substantial funds so that Revolution Books can not
only continue, but become even more widely known.</span><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#1F1F1F;"><br>
<br>
</span><i><span style="font-size:16.0pt;">“What
Future for Our Youth?”</span></i><span style="font-size:16.0pt;"> The title of Cornel and Carl’s dialogue brings to the
surface one of the most egregious outrages of US society today. Nothing
remotely close to a real answer is on the table in the mid-term elections or in
mainstream media discourse. Stopped and frisked continually, massively
incarcerated, no jobs, living in fear of the police, or compelled into killing
for the US empire in the military--a system that offers no future to its youth,
should itself have no future. This is just one part of what fuels the defiant
spirit at Revolution Books to impact society and provide the place where people
can engage the books and ideas about a radically new way society could be. A
bookstore at the center of a movement for revolution.</span><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#1F1F1F;"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;">Revolution
Books is in the midst of a fund drive that <u>must</u> succeed–$70,000 is
needed by 1/31/2011, while at the same time the bookstore's Sustainer base of
Friends of Revolution Books must grow to 250 people, and sales must double, so
that the store can break even each month. The recession, past debt, and changes
in the book world make this fund drive essential</span><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#1F1F1F;">.<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;">We must not
lose this store. That requires many people stepping out as Cornel West is doing
on October 29.</span><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#1F1F1F;"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;">Our goal is
to sell 60 premium tickets at $100*, and 40 premium tickets at $250**. (Regular
tickets are $20, students $10). If we succeed in all this, the bookstore can
raise $20,000 in one night-- one-third off the 2010 Fund Drive goal.</span><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#1F1F1F;"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;">I look
forward to seeing you on October 29 at Harlem Stage.<br>
