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

A message from Chelsea Manning
Chelsea E. Manning 89289 1300 North
Warehouse Road Fort Leavenworth, Kansas 66027-2304
November 29, 2014 First, I would like to thank you very much for your
extraordinary contribution throughout my court-martial last
year. Without your commitment, the truth might not have been nearly as visible
to the public and many of the big issues that are touched on in my case would
have gone unnoticed. ...The actions that lead up to my trial were motivated by my
conscience and concern for the public interest.But, there are still many things that I hope I can accomplish after my
release from confinement---including advocacy for transparency in
government, military, and civil life, and lobbying to ensure that reforms are
made, and enforced...
December 17th is heroic Wikileaks whistleblower
Chelsea Manning's 27th birthday- the 5th year she'll have spent her
birthday in prison.
