CALENDAR

May 1-2 – Vietnam: The Power of Protest “The Pentagon has a ten-year plan (funded by a $60 million appropriation from Congress) that, in the guise of honoring Vietnam-era veterans on the 50th anniversary of the war, may also re-write the history of the war. Some of us have gotten together to push back, as reported in a front page article in the NY Times in October. We have to build a strong and sustained effort to tell the truth about the war, the role of the antiwar movement in ending it, the war’s lessons for today and the war’s consequences for the Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians, as well as many American veterans. Vietnam: The Power of Protest is the kick-off for this effort. Join Tom Hayden, Ron Dellums, Luis Rodriguez, Cora Weiss, Rosalio Munoz, Gerald Horne, Holly Near, Dan Ellsberg, Julian Bond, Marge Tabankin, Peter Yarrow and many, many others on May 1-2. You will want to be at this historic gathering” http://lessonsofvietnam.com/
