ABSTRACT
Eve Rosahn's arrest posed a big problem for feminist movement. While her political development is part of our history, her current analysis and choice of tactics are sharply contested. Meanwhile grand jury has called a number of white and black activists and then imprisoned them for contempt. They include Fulanni Suni-Ali, a member of the Republic of New Afrika and Yasmin Fula, a black legal worker. At her grand jury hearing Rosahn was refused counsel and questioned in a closed courtroom where she was found in contempt for refusing to give hair and handwriting samples. In off our backs Janis Kelly accused the Nyack defendants of endangering the women's community by taking violent actions which made the movement vulnerable to grand jury investigation. In the same issue Joan Gibbs and Linda Backiel of the Grand Jury Project in New York City wrote Neither will we survive by accepting the government's invitation to blame its opposition for either terror or repression.
