Recalling four years of the Iraq conflict, a field of ribbons is being placed on the west side of the Moseley Center (between Moseley and Center for the Arts), Tuesday–Thursday, March 27-29. This commemoration challenges our community to consider the costs of this war for all people who suffer its consequences – soldiers, civilians, the dead and the wounded.
On Wednesday and Thursday from 12-2 PM, an open mic on the west lawn of Moseley will afford any member of our community the chance to comment for 5 minutes on the war’s costs as they perceive them … to the human family, to American interests, to Iraqi people, to the cause of peace. The field of ribbons invites us to think about personal, economic, political and spiritual costs of war.
This commemoration is sponsored by Students for Peace and Justice, Non-Violence Studies faculty, and the Truitt Center for Religious and Spiritual Life.
