We dedicate this Edition of Social Justice Television to Aaron "Beau" Beaucage who passed away in his sleep this February. SJTV Producer Marlin Hathaway interviewed Aaron at the homeless Encampment "Nickelsville" last fall. Aaron was an extraordinary human being and will be missed. You can find video footage of Nickelsville on You Tube. Here is a direct link to video taken of Aaron sometime last year.

Also on this Week's Show we have Malcolm Gladwell Author of "Outliers" speaking at Seattle Town Hall. Malcolm challenges old myths and strips away false stereotypes and makes some shocking discoveries about human achievment. You have to see it to believe it. HEre is his website abd a brief description of what an Outlier is.
What is an outlier?
"Outlier" is a scientific term to describe things or phenomena that lie outside normal experience. In the summer, in Paris, we expect most days to be somewhere between warm and very hot. But imagine if you had a day in the middle of August where the temperature fell below freezing. That day would be outlier. And while we have a very good understanding of why summer days in Paris are warm or hot, we know a good deal less about why a summer day in Paris might be freezing cold. In this book I'm interested in people who are outliers—in men and women who, for one reason or another, are so accomplished and so extraordinary and so outside of ordinary experience that they are as puzzling to the rest of us as a cold day in August. http://www.gladwell.com/
