A speech by Alicia Littletree of EarthFirst! at a Judi Bari tribute talking about Bari's landmark lawsuit against the FBI and the Oakland Police Department for their role in the bombing attack on her in 1990.
Producer: Joan Buffington Uploaded by: Dan Scanlan
In 1990, while organizing Redwood Summer, an action to save the Headwaters Forest--and an entire ecosystem-- from Maxxam's saws, a bomb went off under Judi Bari's car seat. The FBI asserted, falsely, that Bari and her companion, Darryl Cherney, were transporting the bomb. Within minutes of the bombing, the FBI arrested the pair in the hospital and slandered them for weeks in the willing press. Bari and Cherney sued on consitutional grounds. Seven years later the suit continues. Alicia Littletree is the hairess-apparent to Judi Bari, who died last year of cancer. The suit continues and this speech is a good introduction to the issues at hand and their importance to all activists, especially when they become effective. Recorded during a live concert on KVMR-FM giving tribute to Bari. John Gorka headlined free of charge. (More info at http://www.monitor.net/~bari )
