Ward Churchill on War, Genocide and Politics

Scholar, author, and activist Ward Churchill on "War, Genocide and Politics"

When a small activist group decided to invite controversial professor Ward Churchill to speak in Grand Junction CO on Memorial Day, they ignited a firestorm of opposition. The local paper called for protest, the Unitarian Church canceled the venue, and the local Tea Party, united in their opposition to what Churchill would say even before he said anything, split over his right to say anything at all.
