Exhibit Comes Stateside And Shows At University Of Notre Dame - May, 2018
Ms. TranXuan Thao, Jonathan Hutto, Nathan Smith, David Cortright, and Susan Schnall
The exhibit opened at the University of Notre Dame in May 2018 a month after its premiere in Saigon. Ron Carver came back from Vietnam to the United States and with help from Barbara Doherty, David Cortright and photographers Bill Short and Les Bartlett, created a duplicate of the Waging Peace in Vietnam exhibit. Much of the material in the exhibit comes from the recently opened GI Press Collection of the Wisconsin Historical Society.
In conjunction with the exhibit, and to help make scholars aware of the existence of the new GI Press Collection archive, David Cortright spearheaded planning for a three-day Voices of Conscience conference in May 2018. Cortright was then the director of Notre Dame’s Peace Accords Matrix at Notre Dame’s Kroc Center for International Peace Studies. The highly successful conference brought together more than 80 participants including activists, artists, two dozen scholars, and antiwar veterans, from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan.
