[nabs-l] [Nfbnet-members-list] Threw Our Eyes interview, Ride into History, Race for Independence, Wed. June 22, 8:00 pm EDT

[Carly Mihalakis]

Good morning, list,

A few days ago, someone on the NABS list  suggested a conference call 
bringing clarity to a younger generation.  What, exactly, is the 
history of the ideological parting of ways, between the Federation 
and the Council? Does anybody know today, the history of this 
division or is it a product of sheer habit as is the case with 
Republicans and Democrats? If such a meeting of both entities were to 
take place, There ought to be representation of both 
organizations  so that a wholistic portrait of this issue can be exercised.

  and its split from the ACB. This seems like a productive and 
enlightening discussion but I wonder, if the Federation and the 
council claim to be friends, should there not be representation from 
both   sides, identifying their position and whereabouts they stand, 
in this? At
