Today, Wednesday, April 23rd at 6 pm in the Moot Court Room. The video is Voices for Hope: Renouncing Terror and War (2002 84 mins):

In September 2002 family members of those killed in the 9/11/01 attacks in the U.S. came together with those representing others victimized by terrorism and war from Afghanistan, Iraq, the Philippines, and Hiroshima to call for peaceful solutions as part of a national speakers tour that visited five cities in the United States. Also included were readings from Palestinian and Israeli family members of those killed in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This program is the September 9 part of the tour held at Fanueil Hall in Boston. This very moving reminder of pain, eloquent statement against Washington's war, and call for non-violent solutions included David Potorti and Kristina Olsen from the September 11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows; Rangina Hamidi (Afghanistan); Amirah Ali Lidasan (Philippines) Sinan Antoon (Iraqi-American); Miyoko Matsubara (Hiroshima); Souad Dajani; and Hilda Silverman. The purpose of this unique and moving evening attended by over 300 people was to communicate that many of those on all sides victimized by September 11 and the ensuing war have come together to insist: "Our grief is not a cry for war!"
