JAMES W. DOUGLASS
Friday, June 6 at 7:30 p.m.

As a co-founder with his wife Shelley Douglass of the Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action years ago, James W. Douglass' roots as an activist in this region run deep. Author of such books as The Nonviolent Cross, The Nonviolent Coming of God, and Resistance and Contemplation, he makes this welcome return to the Northwest for a number of speaking appearances, including this for his new book, JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters (Orbis). "A remarkable achievement, outstanding even in an overcrowded field. It is profoundly conceived, researched, considered, argued, and written. Douglass shows persuasively how Kennedy's innovative steps in foreign policy produced dangerous opposition within his own national security establishment ... Douglass's large picture of America's political agony is, I believe, incontrovertible and certain to last." - Peter Dale Scott.
