The headlines called them a “Lesbian Wolfpack” and a “Gang of Killer Lesbians.” Patreese Johnson, Renata Hill, Venice Brown and Terrain Dandridge say they were out for a night on the town with some friends in New York’s West Village 10 years ago when they were accosted by a man named Dwayne Buckle. Johnson, Hill, Brown and Dandridge say Buckle followed them down the street, hounding the women with insults and rape threats. When they’d had enough abuse, they confronted Buckle and a fistfight broke out. By the time police arrived, Buckle had been stabbed. The women were placed under arrest and later charged with second-degree gang assault. Johnson was charged with attempted murder. Buckle spent almost a week in the hospital recovering from his injuries, but was never charged with any wrongdoing. Blair Dorosh-Walther’s documentary film Out in the Night screened last week on UO campus. It tells the story of how Johnson, Hill, Brown and Dandridge — now known as “The New Jersey 4” — were smeared in the press and railroaded into lengthy prison sentences, all because the accused were black LGBTQ women. Whether you’ve seen the film or not, don’t miss a chance to hear from three of the New Jersey 4 this Friday at UO’s EMU Ballroom. Patreese Johnson, Renata Hill and Venice Brown will speak as part of the Lyllye B. Parker Women of Color Speaker Series. Patreese Johnson, Renata Hill and Venice Brown speak at 5pm Friday, Feb. 26, at the EMU Ballroom on UO campus; FREE. 22 February 25, 2016 • eugeneweekly.com
