prairie fire

greetings comrades,

hi. I'm new to the forum and look forward to learning from you all.

Yesterday, my copy of Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism by the Weather Underground arrived in the mail. I read this 9 years ago at Ohio University and started my second reading last night. The courage of the WUO has always inspired me.

Anyways, I'm glad to be in the forum.

merci,
Charlie

Welcome. How'd you find the place?

My partner (with whom I'll soon be living *heart*) and I bonded, among other things, over a common love of The Weather Underground.

Sometime before the month is out, I'm hoping we might cover [city] in our take on the (im)famous "PEICE NOW" poster.

The WU, despite their noble intentions, were adventurists.

hi campanero,

I just found out about the forum today while doing a websearch on Sunsara Taylor because I was intrigued to learn that someone from the RCP was appearing in mainstream media.



hi Virgin molotov cocktail,

glad to see that there are others on the forum who are in love with the WU. I've seen the Piece Now poster on the Sam Green Weather Underground documentary, I'd like to find a copy of that. I'd also like to find a copy of the poster with the statue of liberty which has the caption Light My Fire.
I taped Green's documentary off of PBS last year and just the other day I got the dvd from the library and discovered that the PBS version was heavily edited. Also the dvd version has commentary by Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers which I think is more interesting and revealing their segments in the movie itself.
