On May 2, 2005 Ward Churchill was welcomed by a crowd of around five hundred at California State University, Monterey Bay with applause and a standing ovation, concluding to even more thunderous clapping and another, grander ovation. His rant, “Perpetual War: U.S. State-Sponsored Terrorism and the Limits of Academic Dissent,” was part of MEChA’s (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán [Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán]) event, Semana de la Raza [Week of the Race].
