Sharon -- The Debaters is a true story -- about the debaters in Wiley college in Texas. James Farmer was about 14 or 15 years old at the time of the Harvard debate. Later in his life, he moved here to Fredericksburg, VA where he was a professor at University of Mary Washington. UMW honors his legacy with the James Farmer Multicultural Center. http://www.umw.edu/multicultural/about_james_farmer/default.php Zoe -- Great blog. Love does outlast anger. I can also understand Larry Kramer's anger -- it was really anguish. His beloved friends were dying and the government was refusing to recognize it or deal with it because AIDS was isolated to the gay community at the time.
