Each month it chronicles movement activities and carries a list of prisoners serving time for clinic attacks. But the magazine specializes in identifying doctors who perform abortions. A September 1993 article described how Burt and Hill went about learning the identity of Gunn's replacement in Pensacola.

One such movie is Haile Gerima's electrifying underground hit Sankofa, in which a young black woman is transported back in time to experience the horrors of slavery. Gerima, a professor of film at Washington's predominantly black Howard...
