Leading history
Black History Month person or the day
II Bessie Coleman, die first black female aviator, was
bom Jan. 26,1892, in Atlanta, Texas. After her fa
ther left when she was 7 years old, Coleman, as one
of 13 children, pitched in to help their mother make
ends meet.
I Coleman was an avid reader as a child, and by using
the traveling library that came through town several
times a week, she managed to graduate from high
school. She then left for the University of Langston in
Oklahoma, where she completed only one term before
running out of money and returning to rural Texas.
At the age of 23, Coleman left for Chicago to stay
with her brother. After hearing his stories of women in
Europe flying planes in World War 1, she knew she had

traditional African wedding attire
and music in “The Wedding March.”
Picking up the pace, members of
two fraternities and two sororities
mixed the clapping and stomping of
stepping with a variety of dance
styles in the “Steppin’ Out” scene.
Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity members
gave red roses to audience members
and integrated the use of canes into
their coordinated routine. The nine
members of AKA sorority rounded
out the greek performances by step
ping in coordinating outfits.
Additional entertainment includ
ed two vocal performances by junior
Olivia Callier and a poetry reading by
University student Gory Mainor, who
read the poems “The Beauty of My
City” and “Smoke Speaks” with pic
tures of Harlem on display.
The show capped off with the hip
hop scene “Bourbon Street Live,”
where the performers gathered to
gether on stage to create a party at
mosphere.
With few glitches, AKA president
and senior Nicole Johnson said that
the show was a success.
“It was the 10th anniversary, and
it all came together really well,”
Johnson said. “The models are won
derful — they always do something
that just makes it a special event.”

Horowitz
continued from page 1
Horowitz seemed to have the
harshest words for the University
faculty, criticizing what he saw as
their effort to indoctrinate students
into a “leftist ideology.” He also ac
cused faculty of employing a “ruth
less blacklist” that stifles conserva
tive faculty and viewpoints.
“There is a hostile learning envi
ronment on this campus for conser
vatives,” he said. “It is a disgrace.
This campus is a disgrace.”
Horowitz also slammed the cur
rent resolution that would align the
University against a war in Iraq. He
said if the University Assembly suc
ceeds in passing the resolution, it
would be an abuse to all students on
the campus who support the war.
Following his deep condemnation
of the University, Horowitz switched
gears and taught a history lesson of
anti-war movements during World
War II and the Vietnam War.
Horowitz said the anti-war move
ment in the 1930s was responsible
for the 70 million people who died
during World War II, and he said the
current anti-war movement is mov
ing in the same direction.
“A genuine peace movement
would, of course, be demonstrating
at Iraqi embassies” and demanding
that Saddam Hussein disarm, he
said. “This is not a peace movement;
it is a movement to divide this coun
try, to sabotage its defense efforts and
to help our enemies to win.”
"There is a hostile
learning environment
on this campus for
conservatives"
David Horowitz
Author/commentator
The first tense moment of the
evening erupted when Horowitz’s
critical remarks about the anti-war
movement provoked an outburst
from the back of the room. Horowitz
responded with annoyance to the
interruption.
Horowitz’s scathing response to
the outburst seemed to cool the at
mosphere, and he started telling the
crowd why he believes leftists are
responsible for society’s ills, espe
cially in the public school system.
He said America’s poorest and most
oppressed minorities are in Ameri
ca’s inner cities, and the city coun
cils and school boards of the inner
cities — who he said are all con
trolled by leftists — keep minorities
illiterate with their policies.
Leftists “have their boot heels on
the necks of poor black and Hispanic
kids all across this country ... be
cause they are running the public
school systems as a jobs program for
adults, and they could care less about
what happens to those kids,” he said.
Horowitz, a leader in the anti-slav
ery reparations movement, also
talked about racism. He accused left
ists of conjuring up a movement that
pits blacks against others in America.
“There is a little problem with
reparations,” he said. “I am for repa
rations for former slaves. The prob
lem, of course, is that they’re all
dead — it’s 130 years too late.”
A question-and-answer period fol
lowed the speech, and tensions
were high as many audience mem
bers argued with Horowitz, throw
ing the session into a debate and
putting him on the defensive. At one
point, Horowitz called for security
after a man in the back of the room
continually interrupted Horowitz.
But others chose to be more civil in
their questions. Mike Linman, a stu
dent senator and co-chairman of the
College Democrats, asked Horowitz
whether he would support a Univer
sity stance supporting a war in Iraq.
Horowitz said he wouldn’t, adding
he believed the University should
take no political position — whether
he supports the position or not.
In an interview prior to the
speech, Horowitz explained what he
hopes to accomplish on the college
speech circuit.
“I actually think that if I agitate —
if I can get conservative students
roused up enough in this generation
— by the next generation when
they’re running institutions, in par
ticular the Republican Party, they
can affect this horrible situation on
college campuses,” he said. “The
University, in the liberal arts field,
has been destroyed by the left.”
