Peace Vigil Marks 40th Year At the White House
_____ | popularresistance.org | 2021-06-05

It was on this date in 1981 when William Thomas began his 24-hour vigil against nuclear weapons and the war machine 4 decades ago.

Nobody expected it to last this long but it has endured against improbable odds.
