2/27   Film Night – “Daughters of the Dust” directed by Julie Dash
An historical epic that chronicles a few generations of an African-American family living off the coast of South Carolina in the Gullah Islands during the Civil War era, and of how they come together one day in 1902 to celebrate their ancestors before some of them leave for the North.  The film is narrated by a child not yet born, and ancestors already dead also seem to be as present as the living.  The film deals with not only slavery but the relative freedom given to Africans to work their own land on the islands.  It took Ms. Dash 10 years to get it made, and the script is loosely based on her family's history.

2003 National Women's Music Festival:
The Year of the B.A.D. Girls!
June 5-8
on the campus of Ball State University
in Muncie, Indiana

Why "B.A.D." girls? We intend to give new definitions to the meaning of this patriarchal term and claim it as our own powerful rallying cry! Each month between now and next year's festival, we'll give you a new definition so that by the time you arrive at NWMF next year, you'll be well versed in how to be B.A.D.

This month's definition of B.A.D. is Bold And Defiant:

B.A.D. girls break the rules - and then make new rules!
B.A.D. girls are out to change the world!
B.A.D. girls pave the way for their daughters!

Mark your calendar, submit your vacation request, tell all your friends, and spread the word any way you can: Join us and be as B.A.D. as you can be in 2003!
