Gummere hough I get lots of letters, this one caught my attention. It was written by Marketing and Advertising Marge Schier, a member of Falls (Pa.) Meeting's Peace and Service Manager Nagendran Gu lendran T Committee. She wanted to let me know what her meeting was doing to Production Assistant support the National Campaign for a Peace Tax Fund. Since her message was Kenneth Sutton really intended for our readers, let me share it with you: Secretary Edward Sargent "Will you and your meeting join us in a project to celebrate William Penn's Bookkeeper 350th birthday? We are Friends from Falls Meeting, which was William Penn's James Neveil own meeting here in Pennsylvania. We've been working for a year to educate Circulation Assistant Nyree Gleaves ourselves and each other about the Peace Tax Fund Bill, and we think there's no Volunteers better way to celebrate Penn's lifelong struggle for freedom of faith and Jane Burgess, Emily Conlon, Marguerite Clark, conscience than to work for passage of this bill. Gwen Nevei l, Robert Sutton "The U.S. House of Representatives has already held hearings on the bill and Board of Managers Irwin Abrams, Jennie Allen, Frank Bjornsgaard, now there's a prospect of hearings in the Senate. Senator Mark Hatfield, who's Sue Carnell, Marguerite Clark, Barbara Coffin, worked very hard for the bill, has challenged supporters to send 10,000 letters to Emily Conlon, Phoebe Cottingham (Asst.

Friends, we can do it-we and other supporters of the Bernard Haviland, Robert Kunkel, Eric Larson, bill nationwide .... Friends, you might wish to end your letters with thanks or Carol MacCormack, Mary Mangelsdorf, compliments. We did ... because we knew of good legislation that each senator Richard Moses (Treasurer), Jack Mongar, Lee Neff, Carolyn Balderston Parry, Julie Ries, had voted for." Margery Rubin (Asst. Clerk), Mary Ellen Singsen, Carolyn Sprogell, Robert Stauffer, Robert Sutton, To make it easy for me to write one of these 10,000 letters, Marge enclosed a Carolyn Terrell, Wilmer Tjossem, sample of the letter she was sending to Senator Harris Wofford.

    Selected Chronology of Political Protests and Events in Lawrence

    SELECTED CHRONOLOGY OF POLITICAL PROTESTS AND EVENTS IN LAWRENCE 1960-1973 By Clark H. Coan January 1, 2001 LAV1tRE ~\JCE~ ~')lJ~3lj(~ ~~JGR§~~Frlt 707 Vf~ f·1~J1()NT .STFie~:T LA1JVi~f:NCE! i(At.. lSAG GG044 INTRODUCTION Civil Rights & Black Power Movements. Lawrence, the Free State or anti-slavery capital of Kansas during Bleeding Kansas, was dubbed the "Cradle of Liberty" by Abraham Lincoln. Partly due to this reputation, a vibrant Black community developed in the town in the years following the Civil War. White Lawrencians were fairly tolerant of Black people during this period, though three Black men were lynched from the Kaw River Bridge in 1882 during an economic depression in Lawrence. When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1894 that "separate but equal" was constitutional, racial attitudes hardened. Gradually Jim Crow segregation was instituted in the former bastion of freedom with many facilities becoming segregated around the time Black Poet Laureate Langston Hughes lived in the dty-asa child. Then in the 1920s a Ku Klux Klan rally with a burning cross was attended by 2,000 hooded participants near Centennial Park. Racial discrimination subsequently became rampant and segregation solidified. Change was in the air after World "vV ar II. The Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy (LLPD) formed in 1945 and was in the vanguard of Post-war efforts to end racial segregation and discrimination. This was a bi-racial group composed of many KU faculty and Lawrence residents. A chapter of Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) formed in Lawrence in 1947 and on April 15 of the following year, 25 members held a sit-in at Brick's Cafe to force it to serve everyone equally.

    Dancing into the Chthulucene: Sensuous Ecological Activism in the 21st Century Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kelly Perl Klein Graduate Program in Dance Studies The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Dr. Harmony Bench, Advisor Dr. Ann Cooper Albright Dr. Hannah Kosstrin Dr. Mytheli Sreenivas Copyrighted by Kelly Perl Klein 2019 2 Abstract This dissertation centers sensuous movement-based performance and practice as particularly powerful modes of activism toward sustainability and multi-species justice in the early decades of the 21st century. Proposing a model of “sensuous ecological activism,” the author elucidates the sensual components of feminist philosopher and biologist Donna Haraway’s (2016) concept of the Chthulucene, articulating how sensuous movement performance and practice interpellate Chthonic subjectivities. The dissertation explores the possibilities and limits of performances of vulnerability, experiences of interconnection, practices of sensitization, and embodied practices of radical inclusion as forms of activism in the context of contemporary neoliberal capitalism and competitive individualism. Two theatrical dance works and two communities of practice from India and the US are considered in relationship to neoliberal shifts in global economic policy that began in the late 1970s. The author analyzes the dance work The Dammed (2013) by the Darpana Academy for Performing Arts in Ahmedabad,
