From Kahoolawe to Vieques, May 1978
Visiting Puerto Rico & Vieques - A trip sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee
Photographs by Ian Lind, Kaaawa, Hawaii
| In January 1977, I was one of nine people who landed on Kahoolawe to protest the island's use as a bombing range. The next year, following the loss at sea of two activists in what had become the Protect Kahoolawe movement, I was able to travel to the island of Vieques in Puerto Rico to share information with fishermen and others who were also protesting U.S. Navy bombing there. I recently (2006) found the photos from that trip. My travel was assisted by Lisa Wheaton, then working on an AFSC project with the fishermen's association (Associacion de Pescadores) on Vieques. Unfortunately, I don't haven't found the accompanying notes that would help me identify the specific places and people depicted. |
