Exciting Triumph Over Censorship ~ Window Into Palestine

Dear Friends,

We're pleased to give you some very exciting news.
From a story posted not too long ago

The Greenwich Library has reversed its initial
decision to cancel Alison Weir's presentations
and they are now going forward as planned,
Thursday evening at 7 PM and Saturday
morning at 10:30 AM (details below).

Even more exciting, they have decided that
they will give us, at no cost, the large
auditorium that holds 368 people instead
of the small meeting room (60-person capacity)
we had initially reserved. They feel that
given the amount of publicity that has been
generated over this event, the larger space
will be required. We hope as many people as
possible will attend! (By the way, they are
also providing, at their cost, a technician to
manage the excellent audio visual
equipment that comes with the room.)

During our meeting with library officials,
they told us that they had reversed their
decision after consulting with their attorney,
who explained to them that their stated
purpose for canceling the talks --
that they allegedly violated "public sensitivities"
-- was illegal under the First Amendment.

In addition, they explained to us that one of
the motivating factors in their original decision
to cancel the event was information they
had been given that the ADL would
become involved and that there would be
a need for a "large police presence."

There has been significant press coverage of
this controversy (see below) -- it was the
lead front page story in the local daily
newspaper, was featured on a radio news
report this morning, and is being aired
tonight on a local television news broadcast.

Yesterday, incidentally, we ran a second ad
similar to the first one, but that told about
the library's plans to cancel the event.
