A group of #VietnamWar #veterans, as well as an architectural historian, have sued in federal court to stop its construction. The lawsuit argues that the #arch would require congressional approval under various statutes, including the Commemorative Works Act of 1986, which dictates that a memorial built in the proposed location must be of “pre-eminent historical & lasting significance to the United States.”

The first flight of #Boeing's #B52 #Stratofortress was on #ThisDayInHistory in 1952. The strategic heavy bomber was extensively used in the #VietnamWar and in most major conflicts since, as it is still in service! The imperialist workhorse has killed countless children worldwide.

From its tentative beginnings, the #AntiWar movement had grown steadily, and on #ThisDayInHistory in 1967 draft-cards were burnt in #CentralPark, and major protests were held in multiple cities. As the US government doesn't care about public opinion, the #VietnamWar continued.

General Strike Now 5d ago

As part of the general strike planned for May Day, organizers should encourage the wearing of armbands as was done to protest the Vietnam War.

If the goal of the movement is to engage people as broadly as possible, as well as to demonstrate power, then the armbands can offer additional options and bring the day of protests into more places.#may-day #general-strike #vietnam-war #minneapolis #protests

[…]
And the ship's wise men
Will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watching¹
[…]
And they'll raise their hands sayin', "We'll meet all your demands"
But we'll shout from the bow, "Your days are numbered"
And like Pharaoh's tribe, they'll be drowned in the tide
And like Goliath, they'll be conquered
