Boston Common-Aug. 3, 2013: Here are photos and a short video I took of the monthly Women's International League For Peace and Freedom march against drone warfare; they joined up with the weekly Comm. For Peace and Human Rights vigil at Park St. in Boston . The WILPF members wore white masks to symbolize the people killed by US drones-also, they wheeled along a scale model of a drone. A lot of interest was generated in the public passersby, many of whom stopped to listen to the speakers and take photos. Also, one of our members John displayed a MAD Magazine poster of Obama dressed as the Drone (Lone) Ranger. Excellent satire.

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
