[haw-info] HAW Notes (including links to recent articles of interest)

[Jim O'Brien]

To members and friends of Historians Against the War,

Here are some notes, followed by links to recent articles of interest on
HAW-related topics.

1.  HAW and the Labor and Working-Class History Association (LAWCHA) are
planning a special session, "Remembering Howard Zinn," at the Organization
of American Historians convention in Washington, DC in early April.  The
session will take place at 5:30 pm on Friday, April 9.  Staughton Lynd, a
friend of Howard for nearly fifty years, will speak, and there will be ample
opportunity for attendees to share memories and thoughts.

2.  The California Faculty Association (CFA) has called for a state- and
nationwide day of action March 4 "to raise awareness about the crisis in
public education and the need to fully fund our schools, college, and
universities."  The CFA's March 4 web site (
http://www.calfac.org/march4.html) has information about events being
planned in California and in a number of other states, with contact
information.
