Despite the bitter cold plaguing Western Mass last week, over 155 college students, faculty and community members found their way into a packed screening room at Amherst College for the 26th annual Five College Film Festival.

半世纪以后，我们仍然在不断学习新披露的美国在越战中的所作所为。作为一个严重损坏美国军方公共信誉的国际事件，许多相关事实还有待人们去学习、了解。
“和平越南”于十月十一日在Umass Amherst结束了它此站巡回展览。此展览由Ron Carver策划，揭露了美国军队内部反对越战的历史。展览中展出了士兵和退役老兵的照片，地下报纸，和其他“生动展示了人们服役时对战争的反抗”的文件，用UMass历史教授Christian Appy的话说。Appy教授和比较文学系的教授Jim Hicks以及Moira Inghilleri一起协助主办方组织展览，并开设与展览相关的一系列活动，包括纪录片放映以及小组讨论会。自2018年该展览在圣母大学以及胡志明市的战争纪念博物馆正式开始巡回以后，它在UMass迎来了北美巡回展的第二站，同时，它也继续在越南巡回展出。
Zoë Crutcher ’22 spent most of the night Oct. 18 sitting at the feet of performers at the Display Art Collective’s “Open Mic Night.” Holding a black microphone up to the mouth to those playing instruments and singing, she laughed at an oversight: they didn’t have a mic stand.
Half a century later, we still continue to learn new truths about America in the Vietnam War. For an international event that dramatically altered the United States’ public trust in the military, there are still many lessons to learn.
