McCoy later said, Bud and Richie Powell moved into my neighborhood. He also befriended saxophonist John Coltrane, then a member of trumpeter Miles Davis' band.

  • Educating for Peace and Justice in America's Nuclear
    EDUCATING FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE IN AMERICA’S NUCLEAR AGE IAN HARRIS AND CHARLES F. HOWLETT Abstract The emergence of peace education as embodied in the context of peace studies, which emerged during the post-World War II ideological struggle between capitalism and Communism, the nuclear arms race pitting the United States against the former Soviet Union, the Vietnam War, and the civil rights movement in America, met with considerable criticism. There were many within and outside the academic community who argued that peace studies had very little to offer in terms of “real scholarship” and were primarily politically motivated. Some went so far as to insist that this new area of study lacked focus and discipline given the complexities associated with war and peace. It also became fashionable to attack those teaching and studying peace issues as anarchists, communists, and pacifists. They were ridiculed as subversives for challenging the hegemony of the U.S. military establishment. Over time all that would change as the early years of experimentation resulted in programs more rigorous in academic content and serious in focus. Although there are many who still question the viability of peace education/peace studies among schoolchildren and undergraduates, the historical record of the last fifty years or so provides a far different picture. It presents a progression of peace education/peace studies in our society today from an antidote to the science of war to a comprehensive examination of the causes of violence and related strategies for peace. The evolution of peace education in the United States since the 1950s is characterized by four developments: (1) disarmament schemes of international law in reaction to the horrors of World War II; (2) the civil rights movement and opposition to the Vietnam War; (3) response to President Reagan’s ramping up the arms race in the 1980s; and (4) a holistic form of peace and justice studies marked by efforts on peer mediation, conflict resolution, and environmental awareness.

They fear the activists will not conduct peaceful demonstrations, thereby creating problems for them.

  • February 25, 2021 Dear President Biden, We, the Undersigned
    February 25, 2021 Dear President Biden, We, the undersigned organizations, thank you for your critical Yemen policy resets in recent weeks, including ending U.S. support and weapons sales for offensive operations in the Saudi/UAE led war in Yemen, the lifting of the Foreign Terrorist Organization designation on the Houthis, and your commitment to diplomacy. We write to urge you to now do everything in your power to press USAID to reverse its suspension of tens of millions of dollars in congressionally appropriated assistance to ​ Yemen. Prior to the onset of COVID-19, these cuts would have had dire consequences for Yemenis already suffering through the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. Now, with the UN recording COVID cases in Yemeni communities, this aid suspension threatens to exacerbate the virus’s toll in a country where millions are already immunocompromised from years of war and near-starvation. After nearly six years of brutal warfare, Yemenis are especially vulnerable to coronavirus. As many as 80% of Yemenis, the proportion in need of humanitarian assistance and protection, are currently living with immune systems weakened by hunger and the spread of cholera and other diseases. If infected, they will have access to only half the country’s health care facilities – the other 50% having been destroyed or closed because of the conflict. The Saudi and UAE coalition’s de facto blockades of Yemen’s Red Sea ports and the ongoing closure of Sana’a airport have impeded the flow of humanitarian and commercial food, fuel, and medicine, which has pushed the prices of essential goods out of reach for millions of Yemenis.
