  • Reviews: a Power Governments Cannot Suppress
    Reviews: A Power Governments Cannot Suppress Spring 2007 Rethinking Schools Books Bringing History Alive A new compilation of essays by Howard Zinn A Power Governments Cannot Suppress By Howard Zinn (City Lights, 2006) 308 pp. $16.95 By Erik Gleibermann In a new compilation of essays, activist historian Howard Zinn tells the story of Sergeant Jeremy Feldbusch who wakes up blind five weeks after a shell explosion in the Iraq War puts him in a coma. Jeremy's father sits beside him in the army hospital and wonders "if God thought you had seen enough killing." Zinn, our elder statesman of progressive American history, begins his opening essay with this story to reflect back on a long, painful pattern of young people enticed to enlist in seemingly just military causes whose devastated lives become forgotten statistics. This flashback narrative approach is Zinn's compelling trademark, bringing history alive by casting current political controversies in a stark historical light that reveals how today's injustices echo through American history. As in A People's History of the United States, which many conscientious high school teachers use to counterbalance the ideological slant of standard history texts, A Power Governments Cannot Suppress will help students harness history as a critical tool. Zinn details the ugly underside of oppression in U.S. history, while celebrating long­ignored examples of courageous resistance that can inspire the activist looking for models. In one essay he describes how a speech he gave to memorialize the Boston Massacre at the city's landmark Faneuil Hall became an occasion to reflect on massacres American forces have perpetrated since Puritan settlers slaughtered over 600 Pequot Indians in 1636.

  • Daniel Berrigan SJ and the Conception of a Radical Theatre A
    Title: “This is Father Berrigan Speaking from the Underground”: Daniel Berrigan SJ and the Conception of a Radical Theatre Author Name: Benjamin Halligan Affiliation: University of Wolverhampton Postal address: Dr Benjamin Halligan Director of the Doctoral College Research Hub - MD150g, Harrison Learning Centre City Campus South, University of Wolverhampton Wulfruna Street, Wolverhampton WV1 1LY United Kingdom [email protected] 01902 322127 / 07825 871633 Abstract: The letter “Father Berrigan Speaks to the Actors from Underground” suggests the conception of a radical theatre, intended as a contribution to a cultural front against the US government during a time of the escalation of the war in Vietnam. The letter was prepared further to Berrigan’s dramatization of the trial in which he and fellow anti-war activists were arraigned for their public burning of draft cards in 1968. The play was The Trial of the Catonsville Nine and its production coincided with a period in which Berrigan, declining to submit to imprisonment, continued his ministry while a fugitive. Keywords: Daniel Berrigan, underground, Jesuit, Catonsville, anti-war, theatre, counterculture, spirituality, activism, Living Theatre. Biographical note: Dr Benjamin Halligan is Director of the Doctoral College of the University of Wolverhampton.

At the end of the hour one of the students came up to the desk. He was a little older than the others. He said: "I notice in your course outline you will be discussing the case of U.S. vs. O'Brien. When we come to that I would like to say something about it." I was a bit surprised, but glad that a student would take such initiative. I said, "Sure. What's your name?" He said: "O'Brien. David O'Brien." It was, indeed, his case. It began the morning of March 31, 1966. American troops were pouring into Vietnam, and U.S.

  • Philip Berrigan Praised As 'Prophet of Peace' at Baltimore Funeral Mass
    Philip Berrigan praised as ‘prophet of peace’ at Baltimore funeral Mass Hundreds of people marched through the troubled, poverty-stricken streets of West Baltimore Dec. 9 to celebrate the life of controversial Catholic peace activist Philip Francis Berrigan. Led by a cross bearer and a bagpiper playing “Amazing Grace,” they paid tribute to a man who put his Christian conscience on the line time after time, serving years in prison for his anti-war protests. The former Josephite priest, best known for burning draft files in Catonsville in the late 1960s, died of liver and kidney cancer Dec. 6 at Jonah House in Baltimore. He was 79. Clutching red and yellow roses, with some carrying peace signs and large dove figures, the mourners wound their way through the same St. Peter Claver neighborhood which Berrigan had once served as a priest. Passing boarded-up, graffiti-scrawled row houses, friends, family and admirers followed a pickup truck carrying a simple, unfinished wooden coffin with Berrigan’s remains. Painted red flowers, a cross and the words “blessed are the peacemakers” adorned the makeshift coffin, which was also accompanied by chanting, drum- beating Buddhist monks. Inside St. Peter Claver, mourners filled every pew – spilling over into the aisles and choir loft for a funeral liturgy marked by calls for social justice and an end to war plans in Iraq. Berrigan was the leader of the Catonsville Nine, a group of peace activists who burned 500 draft files using homemade napalm at a Selective Service office in Catonsville in 1968. A year earlier he poured blood on draft files in Baltimore with three others.

In 1957 Daniel Berrigan (1921-2016), a thirty-six-year-old Jesuit priest, about to begin teaching New Testament at Lemoyne College in his hometown of Syracuse, New York, published his first book. A book of poetry entitled Time Without Number, it won the Lamont Poetry Award and was also nominated for a National Book Award. At the time, he realized that, “Publishers would now take almost anything I chose to compile; the question of quality was largely in my own hands and my own sense of things” (47).

  • + Christmas 2002, Vol
    JOURNAL OF THE CATHOLIC PEACE FELLOWSHIP THE HOPES AND FEARS OF ALL THE YEARS . OUT OF THE LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM, which to this day wears the wounds of war, has come the Prince of Peace. The little town is not forgotten this Christmas: manger scenes cover the landscape, from living rooms to lawns to even city halls. The images of Mary and Joseph, the magi and the shepherds, the star and the angels, and at the center, the Source—the infant Jesus—kindle hopes of love and peace and joy. As well they should. In this time of war and rumors of war, we must remember that amid our fears, Hope has sprung. And Hope will triumph. Christmas scenes—with their sym- CHRISTMAS bols and songs and stirred memories—promise us that. 2002 VOL 2. 1 Yet they teach us much more if we look closely at how Hope springs forth among us. Not a work of planning or power, the Lord’s Nativity is attended with bold and risky acts of utter obedience to God. An expectant couple is uprooted; shepherds, dumbstruck, follow the urgings of angels; kings, on blind faith, empty their treasuries and set out on a journey with an unknown end: None among our Christmas cast of pilgrims enjoys much homeland security. And soon after the holy night, family and kings are back on the move, fleeing terror. Even in Bethlehem, their apparent refuge in a dangerous world, they find no abiding home. And as pilgrim church, neither do we. Citizens of the kingdom of God, we are seeking a homeland which is the city with foundations, whose architect and maker is God.
