Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's Newsmagazine,
|
Let no man pull you so low that you hate him. These words, originally spoken by Dr. Martin Luther King, became the theme of a six-hour teach-in sponsored by the San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice April 28 when they were quoted by Ryan Amundson of the September 11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows. Amundson, whose brother Craig was on duty in the Pentagon on September 11 and was killed during the terrorist attack, challenged the idea that war would do anything positive towards ending terrorism. Other speakers at the teach-in raised a wide variety of issues, from Israels injustices against the Palestinians to the U.S.s disproportionate use of the worlds resources and the U.S. militarys role in defending U.S. imperialism and greed against popular resistance.
