Fellows and Fellow Travelers, Global/Localists and Asian American
historians:
Below you will find the schedule for Friday's "General Strike"
activities. I hope that you will take advantage of some of these
learning opportunities. I have decided that I will meet my classes at
their regular time and place, but that we will use the occasion to
discuss the relationship between what we are studying and the US war on
Iraq. I will certainly understand if you choose to attend other events
that conflict with our class schedule or if you choose to adhere to the
principle of a strike. If you would like to talk with me about all this
-- the war, the strike, our intellectual work, etc. -- please feel free
to come see me in the office. I will be in all morning Thursday and
most of the morning Friday. Likewise next Monday and Tuesday.
Love and Solidarity,
Peter
