  • Collection: War Resisters League Southeast

Three white-presenting people sitting around a table. The person in the center table, who is wearing a name tag, is smiling and looking at the person to her right.
WRL Southeast organizer Dannia Southerland (R) at War Resisters League's 1983 national conference.

Collage of fliers and photographs on a pink background. The photographs are of a national War Resisters League gathering, with everyone raising their fists in the air; Mandy Carter, a young African American woman with short hair standing in front of the barbed wire fence of a military base; and Mandy Carter and others marching behind a banner with two prominent women's symbols. The fliers are for a "nonviolent vigil" and a list of candidates for the "Durham gay and lesbian solidarity coalition." What looks like a political button features an image of hands breaking a rifle in half, the War Resisters League's logo.
