Nothing Will Defeat The Spirit of This Land: Posters on the War in Viet Nam
Exhibition Critiques U.S. War Policies
This is a lightly-edited version of the exhibition's press release
3/7/05
The Asian & Pacific Islander Coalition Against War (APICAW) in conjunction with the Asian Resource Gallery and the All Of Us Or None archival collection of political posters is proud to present "Nothing Will Defeat the Spirit of This Land: Posters on the War in Viet Nam." APICAW is a Bay Area coalition of API individuals and organizations that believes true peace and security can only come through global justice.
We urge critical support in endorsements and attendance for this important exhibit, for offering an alternative viewpoint from that of the mainstream media and U.S. government policies that advocate endless wars against manufactured international enemies.
Why Viet Nam, and Why Now?
This year of 2005 marks the 30th anniversary of the end of the United States’ war
in Viet Nam. For the Vietnamese who fought for the American-sponsored South
Viet Nam government, this anniversary is known as the Fall of Saigon. Many
overseas Vietnamese, especially the older generation, mourn April 30th, 1975–the
day South Viet Nam’s president surrendered to the Communist-led national
liberation forces–as Black April. But at the same time and in all due
respect, for most of those in Viet Nam and around the world this anniversary
is remembered as the re-unification of Viet Nam and the victorious end to the
Vietnamese struggle against a seemingly invincible American superpower.
