 Professor James Smethurst, University of Massachusetts-Amherst W.E.B. 
 DuBois Department of Afro-American Studies.  "Poet Magdalena Gomez and 
 musician Fred Ho challenged Oberlin audiences with a fierce representation 
 of history and the ways that music and poetry can shock people into 
 thought." - DeShaun Sneed, review of Ho-Gomez performance at Oberlin 
 College.  Raul Salinas, Xicanindio elder poet and human rights activist, is 
 director of Resistencia Bookstore/Casa de Red Salmon Press, a literary

 the New York poetry scene while still in high school, reading at such 
 classic venues as Cafe Wha?, the Speakeasy, the Village Gate, and Cedar 
 Tavern.  Long associated with the Nuyorican Poets scene, her recent works 
 include the off-Broadway play Lobster Face, and the spoken word CD 
 Amaxonia.   Fred Ho, revolutionary Chinese American baritone saxophonist,
