Bill Ivey

Bill Ivey

Bill Ivey was the seventh chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. He was appointed by President Bill Clinton and served from 1998 to 2001. He gained national notoriety in 1999 for unilaterally revoking a grant to Cinco Puntos Press to publish La Historia de los Colores, a children's book written by Subcommandante Marcos of the EZLN, over concerns that the funding might eventually end up in the hands of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (Zapatistas) and fear of pressure from right-wing groups within the United States. The grant was subsequently picked up and doubled by the Lannan Foundation. [ [http://www.cincopuntos.com/storyofcolors.sstg Cinco Puntos Press ] ]
