Speaking truth to Veritas, Part II

"Local activists, led by Boston’s Black Ministerial Alliance and Sudanese survivors of genocide will be rallying to protest at [Kofi] Annan’s inaction on the genocide in Darfur" when the UN Secretary General preaches to the choir next Thursday, receiving an honorary degree at Harvard Commencement exercises, reports everyone's favorite Aussie blogger, Tim Blair:

From the Boston-based American Anti-Slavery Group:

The coalition of activists is appealing to people around the world to sign their petition demanding Annan take action. We hope you will alert your readers about the campaign.

We blogged about Annan's imminent kudos here in April, citing "more evidence this morning from Harvard Monthly's electronic newsletter . . . of what Travis Kavulla of Harvard Republican Blog calls 'the disconnect in political discourse between Harvard and the rest of America.'" We now add our voice to Tim's, urging our readers to sign the petition here.
