A SOUTHWIDE CALL TO ACTION TO END THE WAR IN VIETNA'
On August 6, 1945, Hiroshima suffered the horror of the first
atomic bomb, Twenty-two years later, on August 6, 1967, we
will gather in Atlanta to protest the war in Vietnam, It is fitting
that we meet on Hiroshima Day to demand an end to this immoral
and illegal war, especially since each escalation in Vietnam brings
us closer to a nuclear holocaust, Today's hydrogen bomb {s 200
times more destructive than the bomb which obliterated Hiroshima;
learn to avoid war or face annihilation, .
A growing number of Americans from all walks of life oppose the
war in Vietnam, On April I5 almost half a million of therm marched
in New York City, and in Atlanta and 144 other cities concerned
citizene stand each week in silent vigil to protest the war, We differ
in our reasons for opposing the Vietnam war, Some of us oppose it
as militarily unsound, A growing number of us, both black and |
white believe it to be a racist war of genocide and that the U.S. gove;
ment is again showing a contempt for Asians in its cruel and inhuman
Weapons never employed in Europe. Some of us feel that American .
claime of defending dernccracy are hypocritical and that inetead U, 5.
troops are defending American business investments, Others see
that the Vietnam war haa undermined the anti-poverty program,
- The children of Mississippi, the slum-dwellerse of New York, the
unemployed of Appalachia, the poor of Vine City, and the napalmed
children of Vietnam are all victims of the war in Asia, All of us are
united in opposing this unjust war, We believe that we can best sup
efforts of peace by bringing the troops home now, «+; -j 2 (res
