Chris and I discuss how I was first targeted, following my decision to support the occupation (of an abandoned school) that led to the formation of Seattle’s first African American Heritage Museum – as an alternative to the crack cocaine epidemic among the city’s African American teenagers. We also talk about my research into HIV AIDS, my hospitalization and the Veterans Administration psychologist I worked with who also helped GIs illegally stationed in Cambodia in the sixties and seventies (and terrorized into keeping quiet about it).
I am a 63 year old American child and adolescent psychiatrist, activist and political refugee in New Zealand. I also have a newly published memoir The Most Revolutionary Act: Diary of of an American Refugee (see www.stuartbramhall.com) that describes the 15 years of intense government harassment I experienced before deciding to emigrate in October 2002. I also blog about this at www.stuartbramhall.com
