title:  The Historical Ramifications of Conscientious Objectors

text:  They went to prison at a time when prisons were still segregated and desegregated them.  They went to work in our nation’s mental health facilities at a time when those facilities were abusive and inhumane and lead the movement to improve them. They were founders of the anti-Vietnam War movement. Their actions sparked a variety of social changes. Who were they?  World War II conscientious objectors.

“The Good War and Those Who Refused to Fight it” is a documentary that tells their story.  It plays at the IMC this Sunday, November 16, at 7:30

Local anti-war activist, Pete Knutson, will give a brief talk after the film.
