This is the First Annual Henry A. Wallace Symposium featuring John Nichols, Sulma Arias of People’s Action, a Tennessee UAW member, and Tope Folarin. Eighty years ago, The New York Times published an article by the sitting vice president, Henry A. Wallace, on “The Dangers of American Fascism.” Wallace defined a fascist as one whose “lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends.” For democracy to crush fascism, Wallace warned, “It must put human beings first and dollars second.”

30] – From accredited Japanese director Hideaki Ito comes SILENT FALLOUT which tells the untold stories of the victims of nuclear testing in America. The documentary will be shown at Towson University on July 27 at 1 PM ET in Towson University’s Center for the Arts Building, Room CA-2032, 8000 York Road, Towson. The inspiring film tells the hidden history of the remarkable Mid-West women who fact-checked government assertions that the U.S. bomb tests in Nevada were not harming the general public. The ingenious collection and testing of children’s deciduous teeth led to published findings that spurred JFK and Khrushchev to sign the first nuclear treaty, the Limited Test Ban Treaty, in 1963. The screening is co-sponsored by the Asian Arts and Culture Center, the Baltimore - Kawasaki Sister City Committee and Towson University’s College of Fine Arts and Communication.

I will be on the panel. Contact Max at 410-323-1607 or mobuszewski201 at Comcast dot net
