Coffee and the secret news: A Forgotten History of GIs’ Anti-War Movement

Hi friend,
Thank you so much for listening to our podcast A Matter of Conscience: GI Resistance during the Vietnam War and for your continued support through positive responses and kind donations.
We’re excited to invite you to listen to Episode 5: By and For GIs, out today!
Did you know there were anti-war newspapers created by and for American soldiers? In this episode, hosts Bill Short and Willa Seidenberg share the voices of GI resisters who helped shape a powerful and revolutionary GI anti-war movement by publishing some 300 underground newspapers, and establishing GI coffeehouses. These stories reveal how soldiers built a movement to organize and speak out against the war, offering a glimpse into 50 years ago that still integral and resonates with this-day-and-age’s free speech movements across the U.S. |
