The Rehumanize Quilt has been traveling with the Eyes Wide Open: The Human Cost of War exhibition memorializing the soldiers and civilians who have been lost in the war in Iraq.

Of the 3,700+ pairs of boots displayed in the exhibition, each pair symbolizing one soldier killed, the majority of which have been added since the war was deemed "over" by the U.S. The 1,000+ pairs of civilian shoes are but a fraction of a representation of the 500,000-1 million civilian casualties caused by this war...just as this quilt has so far memorialized a mere fraction of a percent of the civilians, soldiers, journalists, humanitarian works, and private contractors killed in Iraq, in 2003 and 2004, as a result of the U.S. invasion.

Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove on IRAQ: THE LOGIC OF WITHDRAWAL Saturday, March 25 2006, 1:00pm - 3:00pm. Join presenter Amy Goodman and speakers Howard Zinn, Anthony Arnove, and Elizabeth Wrigley-Field for a spirited discussion to launch Arnove's groundbreaking new book, Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal. Nearly forty years ago, historian, activist, and bestselling author Howard Zinn-- whose foreword and afterword frame Arnove's book--published Vietnam: The Logic of Withdrawal, which argued with remarkable foresight that getting out of Vietnam was the only realistic option. Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal will likely prove equally precient. More information about the book.
