Details
Noam Chomsky has been a Bikes Not Bombs donor and member for more than 12 years, and he will be speaking as a benefit for Bikes Not Bombs. As the war stretches on in Iraq and threatens to spread into unending war in more countries, this is an important time to hear from Professor Chomsky, deepen our understanding of the workings of power, and consider how we can best work towards lasting peace and social justice.
Doors open at 6:00pm. Musical introduction by a Brass Quintet, doing American shape note and Bulgarian village harmonies. Noam Chomsky will speak followed by a question and answer period. Next will be a slideshow by Carl Kurz, founder of Bikes Not Bombs, giving an illustrated history of BNB's beginnings in war-torn Nicaragua, and an updated overview of BNB's international and youth work today.
NOTE: This event was rescheduled because of a blizzard in December. If you had tickets for that event, they are now relevant for the new date, or you can ask for a refund, or just make your earlier purchase a donation (but if you won't be using your previous ticket, let us know so we can give your seat to someone else!)
DIRECTIONS
Roxbury Community College (RCC) is at 1234 Columbus Ave. The Main Stage takes up the entire first floor of the Media Arts Building, which is at the corner of Columbus Ave and Malcolm X Blvd. The Media Arts Center is directly across Columbus Ave. from the Roxbury Crossing T stop on the Orange Line. It is across Malcolm X Blvd from the Reggie Lewis Track and Field Center. The Southwest Corridor Bike Path runs alongside Columbus Ave and directly in front of the T station - from there you'll cross Columbus and find campus bike racks. For car parking, going southwest (with RCC on your left and the T station on your right, Tremont and Malcolm X Blvd behind you) once you pass the final large brick building of RCC, turn left onto Cedar Street, and and immediate right into a large parking lot.
