Subject: RE: Folk Alliance vs. NAACP
Here is the address of Folk Alliance's mailing listserv archive:

http://archives.his.com/fa-worldmusic/

The most recent message on the archive is last Thursday.

It is quite simple to join the listserv to voice your opinion about this decision, and read what list members have to say about it.

Folk Alliance also has regional conferences which can be boycotted. One can also write to the sponsors of the FA conferences, and express their views.

There are also a number of excellent media outlets for expressing points of view within the folk world--think in terms of your local radio programs, newsletters, etc. who might also give people a forum for discussing the issue.

I think its important to involve local NAACP folks in the conversation too.
