More Than 1,000 Historians Announce National Antiwar Network
CHICAGO, Jan. 23 (AScribe Newswire) -- At the 117th Annual Meeting
of the American Historical Association in January, historians from more
than forty colleges and universities agreed to form a new national
network, "Historians Against the War." A committee was appointed to draft
the following statement, which has been circulated for other historians to
sign:
We historians call for a halt to the march towards war against Iraq. We
are deeply concerned about the needless destruction of human life, the
undermining of constitutional government in the U.S., the egregious
curtailment of civil liberties and human rights at home and abroad, and the
obstruction of world peace for the indefinite future.
Since that meeting, more than one thousand historians, from 250
colleges and universities in 47 states, have endorsed the HAW statement.
Immediate projects for Historians Against the War include creating a
nationwide "virtual speakers bureau" to aid the growing antiwar movement,
providing accurate scholarly rebuttals to the mendacious historical
distortions of the Bush Administration, and reporting on the growing wave
of campus activism.
Participants in the meeting and signers of the statement include many
of the United States' leading historians, from Harvard, Yale, the University
of Michigan, the University of Chicago, the University of Wisconsin, the
University of North Carolina, Stanford, the University of California at
Berkeley, and UCLA.
Professor Emeritus at Yale University, David Montgomery, a spokesman
for Historians Against the War, notes that "What is most noteworthy to me
about the signers of the statement is that they represent a very broad
cross section of political opinion and styles of historical writing. Long-time
activists, people who have done little for decades, and many others who
have never been involved can be found among the signers."
A complete list of signers of the Historians Against the War statement
is available at http://chnm.gmu.edu/rhr/haw1.htm.
Coverage of the founding meeting is available on the History New
Network website at http://hnn.us/articles/1200.html.
