Syracuse Cultural Workers

History

SCW was founded in order to continue publishing the Peace Calendar, which had been founded and coordinated by Dik Cool while on staff at the Syracuse Peace Council (SPC). Dik began the Peace Calendar with the 1972 edition (see the excellent history by Linda Perla in the 1996 Peace Calendar); the first 11 editions (through the 1982 American Myths) were published by SPC. In July 1982 the SPC Steering Committee decided not to do another edition. Dik and four others (Karen Kerney, Linda Perla, Jack Manno and Jan Phillips) decided they wanted to continue the tradition and SCW was born!
