September 11, 1993

A group of the art grads (I think it was Kendra Kennedy, Shona MacDonald, and maybe John Lustig) went to see the Student Association showing of the documentary Damned in the USA, mostly about the efforts of extreme conservative Rev. Donald Wildmon to censor artwork from such controversial artists as Mapplethorpe, Finley, Serrano, and the other late 80's artists whose notoriety contributed to the end of some of the NEA grant programs. After the film we went to the Corner Diner to hang out for coffee and cigarettes (or in my case, hot chocolate).
