The dead youth was Jeffrey Glenn Miller, one of four students killed by the National Guard during an antiwar demonstration on May 4, 1970. Later, Vecchio said PRIMARY SOURCE “I couldn’t believe that people would kill . just because he demonstrated against the Vietnam War.” —Mary Ann Vecchio Gillum, conference at Emerson College, April 23, 1995 Mary Ann Vecchio was just 14 when she became a symbol of anguish over the Vietnam War. Growing opposition to the war led to deep divisions in American society. The Growing Antiwar Movement KEY QUESTION Why did so many Americans oppose the war? As the war escalated in the mid-1960s, antiwar feeling grew among Americans at home. Religious leaders, civil rights leaders, teachers, students, journalists, and others opposed the war for a variety of reasons. Protests Grow Some protestors believed that the United States had no business involving itself in another country’s civil war. Others believed that the methods of fighting the war were immoral. Still others thought that the costs to American society were too high. College students formed a large and vocal group of protesters. Many opposed the draft, which required young men to serve in the military. In protests nationwide, young men burned their draft cards. About 50,000 people staged such a protest in front of the Pentagon on October 21, 1967. Opponents of the draft pointed out its unfairness.

Kennedy became the 35th president of the United States on a crisp and sparkling day in January 1961. Appearing without a coat in freezing weather, he issued a challenge to the American people. He said that the world was in “its hour of maximum danger,” as Cold War tensions ran high. Rather than shrinking from the danger, the United States should confront the “iron tyranny” of communism. A PERSONAL VOICE JOHN F. KENNEDY “ Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans, born in this century,tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, sup- port any friend, oppose any . foe, in order to assure . the survival and the success of liberty.” —Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961 The young president won praise for his well-crafted speech.

    FOUNDERS OF THE WALL ECHOES FROM THE WALL Wars usually take place far from American soil in places that few Americans understand. Americans are thus dependent on others, such as the government, the news media, and the entertainment industry, to help them understand why the nation is at war, the progress of the war, and the outcomes and implications.

  • Photography As Social Conscience Wc 3338
    Photography as Social Conscience wc 3338 In almost 200 years since the invention of photography there have been many photographers who have used their camera to draw attention to aspects of society which are unjust, shameful, discriminatory or harmful to the health and happiness of certain groups of people. They have used their art to expose horrors prevalent in areas including, for example, child labour and child neglect, homelessness, degrading poverty, hazardous working conditions, environmental pollution, war crimes and other crimes against humanity… the list is a very long one. This kind of photography is part of documentary photography and is often ¾ but not always ¾ the mission of photojournalists. Whatever the subject of such photos, they were always shocking and appalling. For example, I can remember the horror I felt when I first saw the photo Tomoko Uemura in her Bath by the famous Magnum/Life Magazine photographer, W. Eugene Smith. First published in 1971, it shows Toko’s mother bathing her daughter who was born blind, deaf and deformed as were many others in the small fishing village of Minamata after a chemical company dumped mercury into the local water supply. W. Eugene Smith: "Tomoko Uemura in her Bath," 1971. Life Magazine and especially the Magnum photographers whose photos were published in it, brought to its readers images to prick the social conscience long before TV and programs like 4 Corners existed to expose the iniquities and injustices of our world. To take another, pre-TV example, here is a photo by the woman who was described by other photographers as “always in the right place at the right time”… Margaret Bourke-White.

  • The Blue Marble Gregory a Petsko*
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by PubMed Central Petsko Genome Biology 2011, 12:112 http://genomebiology.com/2011/12/4/112 COMMENT The blue marble Gregory A Petsko* It is one of the most iconic images - not just of our time, but of all time. The picture of the earth as seen from 28,000 miles (45,000 km) out in space - often called ‘the blue marble’ because it resembles the spherical agates we used to play with as children - was taken on 7 December 1972 by the crew of the spacecraft Apollo 17 (it is reproduced here). The Arabian Peninsula is clearly visible at the top, with the east coast of Africa extending down towards Antarctica, the white mass at the bottom. (The original picture was actually upside down from this view, but the picture is usually presented rotated as it is here.) For those who care about such things, the photo was taken with a 70 mm Hasselblad camera with an 80 mm lens. Apollo 17 was the last manned lunar mission, so no human beings have since been far enough out into space to take another picture that shows the whole globe. Because of the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis- tration’s (NASA’s) insistence on de-emphasizing the role of any one crew member in space missions, the photo- graph is credited to the entire flight team: Eugene The blue marble. Photographed by Eugene Cernan, Ronald Evans Cernan, Ronald Evans and Jack Schmit. It is still not and Jack Schmit.

  • When Abbie Met Jerry”)
    I Adult Ed January 23rd, 2011 Jewish Radicalism of the Sixties (Or “When Abbie Met Jerry”) Welcome to the JCS Adult Education, our first class of the 2011 – 2012 year. Our discussion today will focus on Jewish radicalism in general and in particular as a force for social change during the decade of the 1960s. I usually begin these discussions by explaining the relevance of the topic to be discussed or what I like to call the “Why you should care” portion. Jewish radicalism is a part of our cultural legacy. I often liken Jewish culture to a tapestry. If you start removing threads, the whole thing is diminished. No one is born a radical. You become one when you are confronted with a situation or circumstance that offends your moral values. That depends on what each person values. Moreover, the individual‟s response has to be so great as to overcome their obedience to authority. Let me illustrate this with the stories of two men, each of whom would become famous. Our first story is about a young man, not Jewish, whose life-changing moment occurred at Forward Base Hammer in Iraq in 2009. While he works in the military intelligence section, his job is hardly exciting. In fact it is really boring. He describes it as follows: “You had people working fourteen hours a day, every single day, no weekends, no recreation. Everyone just sat at their workstation watching music videos, car chases, buildings exploding and writing more stuff to CD/DVD.”1 Then one day this young man comes across a video, filmed from the camera in the nose of an Apache helicopter, showing the events that took place on the morning of July 12th, 2007.
