Black history honored
A meeting to celebrate Black History Month organized by
International ANSWER on Feb. 22 featured a talk by Lateefah
Simon, a young community activist who is also director of the
Center for Young Women's Development. Joyce Miller from the
International Action Center chaired the meeting and introduced
a video of Dr. Martin Luther King's famous "Beyond Vietnam"
speech in 1967 at New York's Riverside Church in which King
condemned the war. Miller explained the historical significance
of the speech in its critique of U.S. foreign policy and
pointed to the lessons to be drawn in the struggle against U.S.
imperialist wars today.
