“Solidarity and Martial Law in Poland” will be presented at Elms College (Alumnae Library Theater) in Chicopee, MA on Saturday, November 17th from 10 am to 5:30 pm. The program is free and open to the public. There is an optional luncheon (12-1 pm) available for $7.

This program will have several original activists in the Solidarity union movement speaking, as well as others:

• Jersy Polak, official photographer for Solidarity 1980-1981

• Neil Walsh, United States Information Agency in Warsaw 1972-76 and in Krakow 1978-1980

Workers and union activists should find this program especially important for its lesson that workers’ efforts can transform national and global history.
