Today in Peace and Justice history on October 5, 1923

[spazzmann]

Birthday of activist Philip Berrigan. He spent four decades devoted to opposing war and violence. From his final statement prior to his death in 2002: "I die with the conviction, held since 1968 and Catonsville that nuclear weapons are the scourge of the earth; to mine for them, manufacture them, deploy them, use them, is a curse against God, the human family, and the earth itself." www.peacebuttons.info
