![Oglala Lakotas and AIM protest Atlanta Braves](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Oglala Lakotas are protesting outside the Atlanta Braves stadium in Atlanta, GA. Speakers include Aaron Two Elk, the SE Regional Coordinator for the International Indian Treaty Council and the American Indian Movement (AIM), Bill Crossman of the Against Racism in Sports Events (ARISE) Coalition, Rose Johnson of the Center for Democratic Renewal, and others. The group is demanding that Ted Turner and Jane Fonda change the name of the Braves baseball team. They are opposed to any use of Native Americans as team mascots and find the behavior of the Braves’ fans degrading and perpetuating of negative stereo types.
