Trujillo) Date: Fri, 1 Nov 1991 17:30:34 GMT Subject: Re: Call for 1492 video programming Message-ID: <1991Nov1.173034.14520@gnosys.svle.ma.us> The following information from the Deep Dish brochure was omitted from Charlie's recent posting: CALL FOR TAPES 1992 * CALL FOR TAPES 1992 * CALL FOR TAPES 1992 1992 marks the 500th anniversary of Christopher Colulmbus' arrival in the Americas. Spain, the Vatican, the United States and European and Latin American governments are preparing many pompous events to celebrate the "Conquest of America." Indigenous organizations have put out a call to counter-act these celebrations with activities that commemorate 500 years of indigenous resistance to European invasion and colonization and that shed light on the contemporary struggles of indigenous people. In solidarity with this call Deep Dish TV will dedicate its 1992 schedule to programming that places the Quincentenary Celebrations in a critical context. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deep Dish is supported by donations and major grants from the John D. and Catherine T.
