Blackwater critic Jeremy Scahill to speak in Holland next week

After hearing that the Tulip Time Festival in Holland had invited Blackwater founder Erik Prince to speak at the annual event, local organizers in Holland decided they needed to do something to counter the message of the Holland native.

Prince is speaking during the day, so organizers will host a public event with Jeremy Scahill, author of the book Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army. Scahill will be speaking at the Holland 7 theater, located at 500 Waverly Road in Holland. The event is May 5th, begins at 7:30pm and is free and open to the public.
