Kissinger Protested in Westchester

On Saturday, October 26, more than 15 people gathered in Dobbs Ferry, north of New York City, to protest a speech by Henry Kissinger at the Masters School.

A majority of the passing motorists (most going to Kissinger’s speech at the school) honked their horns or thumbs up to the demonstrators who wore Henry Kissinger masks and raised hands soaked in red paint. Many parents of the students, who were required to attend, were supportive. One parent said when his son asked him who Henry Kissinger was, he replied “a war criminal.”

Kissinger was speaking at the 125th anniversary of the school. His wife is a former student and current trustee of the elite private school. The talk was not open to the public and he took no questions. The protest, sponsored by the East Timor Action Network/NY and Casa Westchester, was covered by local and student newspapers and by WBAI, New York City’s main alternative radio station.
