Honolulu, Hawai'i
Stop the War Event at University of Hawai’I Manoa Architecture Courtyard and Auditorium featuring live music, displays and tables, followed by a film showing of “FTA” (“FTA” was a popular saying during the Vietnam war meaning “Fuck the Army”). The FTA tour played to more than 5,000 people in Honolulu in 1972. The person who introduced the show in 1972 is now a WCW activist. We have the poster for that show, along with some of the underground GI newspapers produced in Hawai`i in that period. These will be on display. The event will be an effort to reach a UH audience (one of the most popular youth bands is scheduled to play before the film showing), as well as to draw older anti-war people together. There will be tables from other organizations as well.
