Headline in the college paper: "New Jersey 7 film sheds light on human rights issues," along with a photo of the director of "Out In The Night," Blair Doroshwalther. In April 2012, I invited Blair Doroshwalther to show her documentary at Kansas State University and discuss the case of the New Jersey 7. I also organized a panel discussion to follow the film, inviting local queer activists. The event was titled: "Street Harassment & the New Jersey 7 Case: Injustice at the Intersections of Race, Gender, Class and Sexuality."
