hello all. i'm not sure if this is the correct category for this or not,so feel free to point me in the right direction if necessary. what i'm looking for is photographs taken at the levitate the pentagon demonstration-i believe on oct. 21, 67' specifically, i'm looking for a photo of a girl placing a flower in the barrel of a mp's rifle. the only place i have ever seen this is on vh1's the drug years-feed your head episode. i have done countless hours of searching the net and have come up totally empty handed. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks again.
Look in Lisa Laws website Or perhaps Larry Keenan, have you tried the Hippy Museum. I have seen that photo on the front page of Life Mag, maybe search their archives if they have one. Good Luck
Hey Homey 15, if you go on google images and then type in "Jan Rose Kasmir" you should get the photo...
thanks a bunch everyone, not only did i find the photo i was looking for but came up with a dozen others that will be great to add to the collection. thanks again.
Stop Collecting Images And Get Your Butt In The Streets And Protest " It Seems This Generation Of Kids Are A Waste.
Open letter to USA in decline from jan rose kasmir. Yours was a harsh way of putting out a message that is right on. I do find myself sickened by the brain draining rapcrap - misogynistic, bling-based bullshite -MTV's contribution to complete braindeath - everyone know's Paris Hilton - but who remembers Gahndi........ Gotta be careful not to get into a rant. I am currently living in the whitebread capital of the US, Hilton Head, raising a 14 year old daughter, (yeah, I started late), working as a massage therapist, but I am in the process of returning to school to become a Rabbi. (I keep thinking about George Harrison singing about how tough it is being a working class hero - meanwhile he was sitting on his piles of millions.) My life is tough, but there are many who have it tougher. I did go to London to protest the impending invasion of Iraq, and was stunned to watch Blair an Bush completely ignore THE WORLD'S LARGEST PEACE MARCH. Let's you know that the system is even more insidious and sophisticated then we could have imagined. Do we give up? Of course not. Please believe that in spite of the horrors, this is a good earth, and I believe there is a loving G!d looking over us. That does not mean that I have gone through life peacefully ommming - I have gone through enlightenment kicking and screaming - shaking my fists at the heavens, screaming the world is unfair! BUT, IN MY SANER MOMENTS, I REMEMBER TO CONNECT WITH MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND OFFER MYSELF TO HELP IN ANY WAY THAT I CAN. And in those moments when I am connected with my brothers and sisters - THEN I FIND PEACE. your sister in peace, jan rose
Well said. I hope you have better luck with your daughter than I had with my kid. i started teaching him to read and enjoy the experience of learning when he was 3. When he started 1st grade he was reading at a 3rd grade level. By the time he was in 7th grade he was reading at a 6th grade level and hated school. Now He's 18, a hip hop gangstar, and wants to join the marines as an infantryman. The other day he was hugging me in front of one of his friends (a Vietnamese kid) and said "my dads a hippy and hates war, and I'm a warrior, but I love him anyway". sigh....... I hope he finds his way. I tried the best I could.
I know where you're coming from. I learned non-violent protest directly, personally, from Nobel Peace Prize laureate the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King while following him from Selma to Montgomery in March of 1965. To use a gardening metaphor, he planted the seed, but the ground was already well prepared. A little before that and a lot since and still today I've been active in a whole list of causes. I have two sons, 21 and 23 years old. Neither one shows any sign, none at all, of following in their Poor Old Dad's footsteps. In fact, one son is in the Navy and the other son wants widespread use of DDT to resume. I'm guessing that a lot of us have had similar experiences. But you know what, I'm ok with that ... now. In one of those enlightening epiphanies I realized a few things. I realized I was no more right to try to turn my sons into me than our parents were to try to turn us into them, and in fact, less likely to succeed. But most important, I realized that what I really wanted was for them to think for themselves and to find & follow their own bliss. I am at peace with that. Peace, poor_old_dad [Edit: I just realized how very far off topic I am with this and I know that pisses off all the conformists around here. (Hippie conformists - go figure] So let me add, I'm sure I'm in some protest pics, but my sons won't be. I've never looked for myself in any protest pictures, but I think I will try. Have any of ya'll ever seen yourselves in any?]
