DESCRIPTION:Occupyforum presents…\n\nThe People Make the Peace:\nLessons from the 
 Vietnam\nAntiwar Movement\n\nFeaturing Rennie Davis, Judy Gumbo\n and Frank 
 Joyce\n\nForty years after the Vietnam War ended many in the United States 
 still \nstruggle to come to terms with this tumultuous period of U.S. 
 history. The \ndomestic antiwar movement, with cooperation from their 
 Vietnamese \ncounterparts, played a significant role in ending the War, but 
 few have \nexamined its impact until now.  In The People Make the Peace, 
 nine U.S. \nactivists discuss the parts they played in opposing the War at 
 home and \ntheir risky travels to Vietnam in the midst of the conflict to 
 engage\nin people-to-people diplomacy.\n\nJoin us to hear the stories of 
 three of these distinguished activists, Rennie \nDavis, one of the Chicago 
 7, Judy Gumbo, an antiwar activist and Yippie \nand Frank Joyce, a labor 
 and peace activist from Detroit. They returned \ntogether to Vietnam in 
 2013 and contributed essays to this outstanding new \nbook. Their successes 
 in antiwar organizing will challenge the myths that \nstill linger from 
 that era, and inspire a new generation seeking\npeaceful  solutions to war 
 and conflict today.\n\n\nTime will be allotted for Q&A, discussion and 
 announcements.\nWheelchair accessible, ride shares announced.\nDonations to 
 OccupyForum to cover costs are encouraged; No one turned away! \n\nContact:
