[haw-info] corrected date for "Peace in Asia and the Pacific" conference

In yesterday's "HAW Notes" e-mailing, I mis-typed the date of the DC conference, "Peace in Asia and the Pacific."  It will take place at American University on October 21-22 (not September 21-22). Partly to make amends, I'm attaching to this message a letter from Joe Gerson of the American Friends Service Committee giving more details about the conference and reasons for its importance. 

In the meantime, I received a request to mention another conference taking place on those same dates, October 21-22.  The Peace History Society will hold a conference at Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida, entitled "The Inter-personal as Political: Individual Witness for Peace and Justice in a Global Perspective."  Information is at www.peacehistorysociety.org.
