The human cost of the Iraq War: Eyes Wide Open coming to Ithaca
This just in from Jason van Staveren, who is asking everybody he knows (and everybody they know) to help get the word out...
Eyes Wide Open, the American Friends Service Committee’s widely-acclaimed exhibition on the human cost of the Iraq War, features a pair of boots honoring each U.S. military casualty, a field of shoes and a Wall of Remembrance to memorialize the Iraqis killed in the conflict, and a multimedia display exploring the history, cost and consequences of the war.
The program and presentation are coming to Cornell on October 6 and to DeWitt Park in Ithaca on October 7-9. Organizers need volunteers; see the event's Web site at http://www.afsc.org/eyes/details/ithaca/default.htm.
