Russell Means was just one of many speakers at the Four Directions/Transform Columbus Day Rally in Denver, CO. This is the first seven minutes of his eight-minute speech. The march evolved into a protest of the Columbus Day Parade which began 100 years ago in Denver. Protesters and organizers called for an end to the holiday that celebrates a man who brought genocide to the native peoples of the Americas along with the Trans-Atlantic African slave trade. Means, along with 82 others were later arrested for peaceful civil disobedience by the Denver Police Department. Instances of police brutality were witnessed and recorded by many on-lookers.

February 25, 1967 - The Hollywood PalaceThis is a clip of George before he found himself, before he developed the routines that we'd all come to know. This is the Carlin that put on a face for the public, before letting his hair out, and growing the beard. The material was pretty tame by today's standards, but is still good stuff. This routine reminds me a lot of his "Indian Sargeant" bit.

"The History of Islam in America" by Sulayman Nyang Purchase the full-length lecture at http://www.MeccaCentric.com or call 1-800-607-9810 Sulayman Nyang, a history professor at Howard University and author of the book entitled "Islam In The United States of America", identifies in this talk the periods in which Islam gradually came to the attention of the American non-Muslim society. He does this by accounting for the various waves of Muslims making their way to America throughout history and the impact they've had up until the present day. These "waves" or stages of the evolution of the Muslim community in America which are discussed are five: 1) the Pre-Columbus explorers and settlers 2) the emigration of slaves 3) immigration to "the new world" 4) converts and native-born Muslims 5) the institutionalization of Islam in America. This presentation provides a wealth of information in the form of names, dates, and events for any "Islam In America" enthusiast and proves to be an invaluable source for this fascinating topic! (Recorded at the Dar al Islam Teachers' Institute seminar).
