June 8, 7-8:30pm

Canyon Community Center

126 Lion Boulevard, Springdale

 

Recounting the colorful and inspirational story of former Republican Congressman Pete McCloskey, a real political “maverick”, a Marine war hero, a leading peace advocate during the Vietnam War, and an environmental activist.

In the span of just a few days during the Korean War, McCloskey won the Navy Cross, the Silver Star and two Purple Hearts. His experiences in Korea no doubt contributed to his opposition of the war in Vietnam.

McCloskey was one of the nation’s first environmental lawyers. He co-chaired the first Earth Day in 1970 and co-authored the Endangered Species Act.

An authentic hero who dedicated his life to public service and followed his conscience, regardless of the prevailing political winds, McCloskey was the first member of Congress to call for the impeachment of Nixon in 1973.

Join Z-Arts in the viewing of the film “Pete McCloskey:  Leading from the Front” on Wednesday, June 8th from 7 to 8:30 pm at the Canyon Community Center at 126 Lion Blvd in Springdale.

 

Attendance is free and open to the public. Feel free to bring water (only) and personal snacks.
