Some January dates for you to mark on your calendar
Saturday, January 10th at 1 p.m. (potluck at noon) Annual Retreat of the Fresno Center for Nonviolence. It will be held at Angela Price’s home. If you are interested in attending (it is open to everyone), email Angela at angela.price41@comcast.net.
Monday, January 12th in the evening (TBA) at 1584 N. Van Ness (SE corner of McKinley and Van Ness). The Fresno Center for Nonviolence will be showing the first episode of “The Untold History of the United States” with subsequent episodes to be shown each Monday following. Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick have done what many would consider impossible. They have written a political history of the United States in the 20th Century that tells us exactly how the United States became an empire through conscious decisions, and how the struggle to maintain that empire will go on despite which political party holds office. It is a brilliant survey of the untold story.
