The Brown Daily Herald ^ | September 24, 2008 | Michael Bechek

In the early part of 1995, Vartan Gregorian, the president of Brown, flew to Chicago to meet with the board of directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a school reform initiative to which he had just awarded $49 million of a large gift he had helped arrange. When he arrived, the board was excited to introduce the man it had selected to be its first president - a young lawyer named Barack Obama.

Hopefully I didn't screw this up - it's my first. Could be helpful for any New England freepers with a little extra time on their hands.

Looks very interesting and important but cant access the article. Some more help is needed, but the obama Thugs might be trying to hide this insight on The Perverted One as they do on everything else about the Empty-suited Mystery Idiot who appears to be a closet Radical Muslim intent on destroying America as We Love Her!

"They had said to me beforehand," recalled Barbara Cervone, the national director of the Annenberg Challenge, who accompanied Gregorian on the trip, "'You're not going to believe this guy.' "

How prescient they were, to this day no one believes him.

Sorry that I messed up on the posting. Thanks to all for correcting. I thought the last page of the article was notable as it pointed out that there are records at Brown relevant to the Annenberg Challenge, yet there has been very little interest in anyone looking at them.

The Brown article leaves out the heart of what the archives reveal, about the input and guiding light of Ayers in the entire Chicago Annenberg Challenge, the type of local organizations they funded as “collaboratives” to work with the schools and the type of activities the collaboratives sought to promote.

The core of the entire process was an importation of Ayers political organizing on Marxist and radical themes into the education experience.

There can be no evaluation of any “educational” improvement fostered in Chicago schools by CAC, because there was none, intentionally - that’s not what it was about.

Have you forwarded this info to Stanley Kurtz? He may have an interest although I believe his concern is more with the founding and the relationship between Obama and Ayers at that time.
