November 5, 2007:
This website is an archive of the former website, traprockpeace.org,
which was created 10 years ago by Charles Jenks. It became one
of the most populace sites in the US, and an important resource
on the antiwar movement, student activism, 'depleted' uranium and
other topics. Jenks authored virtually all of its web pages and
multimedia content (photographs, audio, video, and pdf files. As
the author and registered owner of that site, his purpose here
is to preserve an important slice of the history of the grassroots
peace movement in the US over the past decade. He is maintaining
this historical archive as a service to the greater peace movement,
and to the many friends of Traprock Peace Center. Blogs have been
consolidated and the calendar has been archived for security reasons;
all other links remain the same, and virtually all blog content
remains intact. THIS SITE NO LONGER REFLECTS THE CURRENT
AND ONGOING WORK OF TRAPROCK PEACE CENTER, which
has reorganized its board and moved to Greenfield, Mass. To contact Traprock
Peace Center, call 413-773-7427 or visit its site.
Charles Jenks is posting new material to PeaceJournal.org,
a multimedia blog and resource center.
