Our favorite bookstore here in Belfast:
is hosting a FREE screening of the award winning documentary:
tomorrow at 6:30pm to commemorate the U.S. Midterm Elections.
The LA Times says American Blackout is "a muckraking indictment of the systematic disenfranchisement of African American voters."
Damn-it, we need muckraking - now more than ever. So even if you've got plans, cancel them, and go over to No Alibis to see the flick.

I almost emailed you about the "star" of this documentary -- Georgia's own Cynthia McKinney -- widely viewed as a 'kook' around these parts. In her blog she implies that her hitting a D.C. police man for asking her for her ID was on the same level as Rosa Parks refusal to give up her seat and move to the back of the bus.
