Reclaiming our connections: the peoples of the Eagle and the Condor

Read on to the post below mine here. It is my personal and professional mission to help reclaim the ancient connections and relationships between the peoples of the American continent- the people of North America referred to as Eagle People and our relatives, the people of Central and South America, referred to as the People of the Condor. I received yesterday a request from a colleague and respected friend Roberto Rodriguez to help in some way to bring the history of 'Red-Brown Journalism,' to the people. If there is some way you can help to do this please contact him or send whatever you can to the contacts below. Guh ne gay/Wa do/Muchas gracias, JoKay (continue below to the following post:)

JoKay:
Saludos & hope this finds you well. Patrisia sends her hellos...I am writing to let you know that I am teaching a class this semester at the University of Arizona, titled: The History of Red-Brown Journalism & Communications.
In effect, I have put my life's work as a writer into this class.The class coincides with the Voices for Justice Project, which is celebrating 200-years of Latino/Latina Journalism. My class covers the same material, but actually goes back a bit further, also looking at Indigenous communication systems prior to the arrival of Europeans.
Thus, the class emphasizes ancient & historic media, and also the media of the Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. The class is already giving students much needed exposure in terms of the oft-neglected history of journalism and communications on this continent among these communities.For the class, we will have an exhibit at the Main Library where we will showcase media from these different time periods. We will also have a symposium and program where students will present their workson the 5th of May.
As a highlight, students will publish their work in a commemorative issue based on their research. For these events, weare looking for newspapers/magazines, artwork, etc. from the 1960s-'70s for our exhibit. Also, if you were part of the ' (Red-Brown) Movement' media, or know of someone, please let me know.
Finally, if you would like to help us publish the specialcommemorative issue and to bring guest speakers to our class and to our symposium/program, we are accepting gifts from $25 to $100. The estimated budget to accomplish our goals is $3,000 and we hope toreach that through generous contributions like yours (Of course, you will receive a copy of the issue).
The donation is tax-deductible. Make check payable to: The University of Arizona Foundation.

I know times are tough, but I'm hoping to find 100 friends/colleagues to contribute so it doesn't fall on just a few.
