On Tuesday, April 28th 2009, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson will be speaking on the UConn-Storrs Campus in stop in his “Stop Obama’s Socialist Change” Tour. Addressing the November election of Barack Obama, America’s first African American President; Peterson intends to address the specific topic of how Obama drew on racist tensions within the black community and fraudulently gained the support of white America. Scheduled to be held in Room 154 of the Torrey Life Sciences Building, the College Republicans anticipate a high turnout, expecting to fill many if not all, of the Lecture Hall’s three hundred seats. Admission will be free and seating is “first come, first serve.”
Founder of Brotherhood Organization for a New Destiny (BOND), a Los Angeles based community improvement organization; Rev. Peterson is well respected for his boldness in challenging the ideas put forth by the mainstream civil rights establishment, which includes figures like Jesse Jackson. Peterson is also known for challenging domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, who is scheduled to speak at the University, Thursday April 23rd.
Born in rural Alabama during the “Jim Crow” era, Peterson is well known for framing his political philosophy on his own life experiences. Though seen by critics as divisive, the College Republicans insist that they see Peterson as a “Unifier” who genuinely wishes to better all Americans. Newly elected Chairman Timothy Plungis hopes that the event will raise awareness towards (conservative) African American Politics, an area he believes “is underrepresented in University offerings.”
Funded by the Undergraduate Student Government, Rev. Peterson’s speaking engagement has been arranged by the UConn College Republican Chapter. With generous assistance from BOND-Action, and the fiscal prudence of Finance Director Joseph Dilling, the overall cost of the event has come in approximately $500 under the approved budget.
