THE SUCCESSFUL HISTORY OF ACTIVE NONVIOLENCE

Video/Film Series Starts February 1 at Amherst College

The Successful History of Active Nonviolence is the subject of a seven week 
documentary video series beginning on Wednesday, February 1 and continuing 
on Wednesday evenings through March 15 at Amherst College. This series 
focuses on how unarmed "people power" has been used in countries around the 
world to topple tyrants, resist oppression, and struggle for freedom and 
justice. All showings, which begin at 7:00 p.m., are free, open and 
followed by discussion.  They will be held in the theater on the lower 
level of  the Keefe Campus Center.

Throughout history, individuals, groups, and nations have used violence as 
a means of achieving "just" ends.  Yet the history of this last bloody 
century also makes clear that there is, in fact, an alternative. That 
alternative is active nonviolence, which these films dramatically depict.

College students, in bringing the series to the campus.
