        "And don't call me a racist!": a treasury of quotes on the past, present, and future of the color line in America
        Ella Mazel, Argonaut Press, 1998 Request
        "Sentencing the Victim"
        Liz Oakley and Joanna Katz, SC: ivs Productions, 2004 Request
        This film tells the story of Joanna Katz, who was abducted, raped, and tortured by five men in 1988. The attackers were eligible for parole after serving only a fraction of their sentences. For the past seven years, Liz Oakley has documented Joanna’s frequent appearances before the parole board, which require Joanna to gather her courage and relive her terror as she prepares for each hearing. The video weaves together interviews of Joanna, her family, and those who have played a role in her recovery and who have helped convict her assailants. Her story provides compelling reasons to revisit the ways the justice system reacts to and works with victims of violent crime so that victims may one day be freed from the bonds of a justice system that links them to their attackers and the most horrifying events in their lives.
