Well maybe the show
outside the grounds of the Jamestown 400 commemoration will be entertaining, too. Well, I hope they keep it outside.
Malik Shabazz, with Black Lawyers for Justice, will lead a forum exploring colonial racial politics Friday, followed by a demonstration at Jamestown Settlement Saturday. The protest coincides with America's Anniversary weekend, the May 11-13 pinnacle of the 18-month Jamestown 2007 commemoration.
Both events protest the commemoration of what Shabazz called ground zero for black enslavement and Indian genocide.
"We felt a moral obligation to organize and to give the other side of Jamestown," said Shabazz, a Washington, D.C., attorney and activist known for his controversial views on race relations.

Toronto on Tuesday.
"The Jews have taken the entire state of Israel, West Bank, and Gaza, all of that is stolen territory," Mr. Shabazz said on a U.S. TV news program last year. "And they are the reason that someone else would blow themselves up. It is not the Palestinians' fault. It is the fault of the Zionists."
