Boston, Mass.-Nov. 11, 2012: About 150 members of Veterans For Peace and their supporters marched behind the official pro-war Boston Veterans Day parade. The organizers of the official pro-war Boston Veterans Day parade, as in years past, will not permit Veterans For Peace to march in the main parade, so VFP members march several blocks behind the official parade--the reason: the pro-war veterans organizations do not believe that the 2 words- "veterans" and "peace" fit together. The march started on Boston Common at 1pm, led by the Leftist Marching Band, and then proceeded down Boylston and Tremont Streets to the applause of the many onlookers. The VFP march ended at Faneuil Hall where a very moving and inspired speakout against war took place.

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
