Section 6:
Statements/Posters of Public Meetings
1994
This section contains the
chronology of posters we used to advertise the 1993/1994 meetings held
throughout the USA. To cover the country more quickly and thoroughly, we divided
up the members of the class into four and sometimes five groups. For the most
part, our primary means to inform the public of an upcoming meeting was to tack
up these posters on bulletin boards, telephone poles, and the like. In addition,
we did some advertising with local media and gave numerous interviews to
newspapers, radio stations, and TV news teams.
As a side note, we generally refer to the meetings as having occurred in
1994, when the entire class went "out on the road," even though we did hold two
small meetings at the end of 1993, as sort of a trial run. They helped us refine
our presentation somewhat. At times it was difficult for us to know what to
cover and what to leave out, since the information is so vast. The last public
meeting we held took place in Boston, Massachusetts on Friday, August 19, 1994.
