Veterans for Peace President to Speak at BCC - September 27, 2007
PITTSFIELD - Elliott Adams, national president of Veterans for Peace, will speak at Berkshire Community College. His talk will take place Thursday, Oct. 18, at 12:15 and again at 7:30 in the small auditorium, Room K-111, of the Koussevitzky Arts Center.
Adams served as paratrooper in the infantry in Vietnam, Japan, Korea and Alaska. He served his community of Sharon Springs, N.Y., as president of the school board, mayor, committee chairman of Explorers Post 17, Rotary president and master of the Masonic Lodge. He left politics to become an activist and attended many demonstrations. He worked for United For Peace and Justice and War Resisters League, School of Americans Watch, Peace Has No Borders and other organizations at events across the country.
Adams is a nonviolent training coordinator for Veterans For Peace and the Fellowship of Reconciliation, serving on its CCP Leadership Team. He has done nonviolence and social movement training for the School of Americas Watch, Peacemakers of Schoharie (N.Y.), Student Environmental Action, War Resistors League and other groups.
Adams will share his insights in regard to turning away from war toward a world where conflicts are resolved without violence. He will answer questions from the audience.
The evening presentation is sponsored by the Global Issues Resource Organization. Both presentations are free and open to the public. |
