Question: Who's Afraid of a Little Yellow School Bus?
Answer: The U.S. Government!

Meet Rev. Lucius Walker, Jr, the founder of Pastors for Peace Caravans to Latin America, and learn why the U.S. Government is afraid of a little yellow school bus.

Reception - Film Screening - Discussion
7:00 pm, Thursday, March 22
United Presbyterian Church
112 East Beach, Watsonville

Since 1988, when Rev. Walker was wounded in Nicaragua by contra forces attacking a passenger ferry boat, Pastors for Peace has worked to counter policies of our government that have supported brutal and repressive governments in Latin America. More than 50 Pastors for Peace caravans have traveled to Mexico, Central America and Cuba - delivering life-giving aid abroad while organizing at home for a more just policy toward our neighbors in this hemisphere.

Join us for the reception where you can meet and talk with Rev. Walker before seeing the evening's film about the confrontation with U.S. Immigration on the second caravan to challenge the blockade of Cuba.

The film The Little Yellow School Bus is a sometimes funny, always inspiring account of U.S. Immigration's seizure of a small, much-traveled, school bus destined for donation to Cuba. Reverend Walker will speak after the film and answer questions.
