The Cold War vs. The Third World War

Robert Chrisman, nationally-known Afro-American poet and cultural critic will speak at the next WAND meeting on "The Cold war vs. The Third World War." Chrisman is editor and publisher of the journal The Black Scholar and is visiting professor of English and Afro-American studies at the U-M. He will address the questions: Who won the Cold War? What is the future of the Third World: Continuing starvation? A growing "limited" arms race? International exploitation of labor and resources? Ecological catastrophe? Or a new social and economic justice? The meeting begins at 7:30 pm on Sun., April 8 at St. Aidan's/Northside Church, 1679 Broadway, across from the Baits Drive entrance to North Campus. Campus WAND is holding a rally on the Diag and a march to the Federal building entitled "Build Homes, Not Bombs: Stop the MX" on Mon., April 16 at 12 noon. Singer/guitarist Corey Dolgon and several speakers appropriate for tax day are providing the inspiration.

Purpose: WAND's goals are to education ourselves and the public about the dangers of the nuclear arms build-up (which the U.S. is escalating despite the end of the Cold war), to influence our congressional representatives by informed lobbying, to support peace and justice candidates, and to empower people, especially women, personally and politically.

Meetings are held the second Sunday of the month (usually at 7:30 pm) at St. Aidan's/ Northside Church, 1679 Broadway, Ann Arbor (across from the Baits Drive entrance to U-M North campus).
