Elizabeth Garcia-O’Keefe: Holman is for Hartford, not partisan politics
Sixty years ago I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and was arrested with 799 others at Sproul Hall. I didn’t know if I would be expelled; it was important to stand up for free speech for Bary Goldwater Republicans as well as Students for a Democratic Society. Professors bailed us out, […]

Larry Gilbert Sr.: Students rightfully want their colleges to divest
Corporate-owned television has shown us the recent breakup of the student encampments at our nation’s colleges and universities protesting the ongoing killings in Gaza by the state of Israel with the full complicity by our U.S. government. Are the tents the problem, or is the problem 2,000-pound bombs supplied with billions of our U.S. tax […]
