Churchill finds fans at Calif. fest

CU professor gives keynote address at Anarchist Book Fair

SAN FRANCISCO - The preacher found his choir.

Newly on notice that his job as a tenured ethnic studies professor at the University of Colorado remains in jeopardy, Ward Churchill spent the weekend in the bosom of a community where his defiant, iconoclastic political message is mother's milk.

The highlight of his tour was the 10th annual San Francisco Bay Area Anarchist Book Fair on Saturday at Golden Gate Park.

You could have found it just by following the spiked Mohawks, the prodigious full-body tattoos and the hundreds of acolytes attired in every shade of black.

"This is great. I've never been to one of these before," said Churchill, who never took off his can't-see- through-'em wraparound shades during a 45-minute keynote address Saturday afternoon. "I'll be back."

The fair's exhibits offered more than just books. There was clothing, including baby jumpers bearing the words "Future Queer" and T-shirts featuring a familiar fast food franchise logo and the words "Murder King."

There were even games to play, including "Pin the Molotov Cocktail on the Cop Car."
