AMERICAN LEFT HISTORY

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

Subject: [peaceworks] Arrests in Maine Christening on Aegis Destroyer

Two days ago nine advocates for a turn from war were arrested while blocking the entrance to the "Christening" ceremony for a new Aegis-Class destroyer at Bath Iron Works, a top Maine employer. Aegis destroyers are an important coordinating and missile-carrying component in US nuclear attack strategy.
