A lot of people who are here basically, it has been very peaceful so far. We have saw we saw a few police cars right behind the group as they were going, but there wasnt any disruption. We didnt see any incidents involving these protesters and the stores. We do understand right now theyre having a bit of a dance right at the stage area, and then we understand that there are going to be speakers here a little bit later on. But certainly this is one of many protests. We were just down at west oakland bart, where there was another group that was protesting there, about 100 people. So this is something which here theyre saying its going to continue, probably at least for the next hour or so, and they are planning and hoping that they can get their message out to the public. And, jenna, when you say theres going to be speakers there, do you think theyre going to address more about labor here in the united states, or will those speakers be talking more specifically about the war in gaza .

I cant remember when i first saw the picture, and i certainly did not know where cold harbor was at the time. Im sure i thought it was a port town somewhere in virginia. I may not remember in which book i first saw the photograph, but i know that immediately and lastingly linked the words cold harbor and death in my mind. In subsequent years, i came to read more about the events of the spring of 1864 that culminated at cold harbor, that deadly slog from the rapid ann to the james that saw the u. S. Suffer 50,000 casualties, in the confederacy, another 30,000plus, the bloodiest six weeks of the war. I learned of the thousands who fell in the Early Morning on june 3rd.

But everybody knew it was going to be a fierce and terrible day. 4 30 a. M. , the signal gun goes off, and this huge union monolith heaves forward. Or parts of it do.
