John Trudell Spoken Word Tour 1994

This previously unseen video is from the John Trudell 1994 Spoken Word Tour at the Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. Also appearing are Margaret Palmer, Johnny Jackson and LeRoy Mills. I (Dr. Matthew Lippincott) was asked to video the event by one of the organizer, Randy Ash. On more than one occasion I spent time with John Trudell, and, as many others would also report, found him to be humble, insightful and sincere. Following his death I wanted to put this video online as a form of tribute to such a rare and influential person. I converted the video (original source is SVHS) recently and have been able to improve the quality, although it still doesn’t look very good in full screen. Anyone viewing this who knows the names of other people who appear can contact me via my linkedIn account: so I can add that information.
