Back in March I published a compilation of the first half dozen interviews I had conducted with anarchists in the North Eastern USA. Here I present another 11 such interviews recorded with 20 anarchists during a vast n of a journey that started in Miami, moved North to Cleveland, west to Bellingham and then began the long descent south to LA. Related Links: Speaking tour details Previous Interviews
All the interviews were recorded as I conducted the last half of what had become a 45 city speaking tour of North America - see http://www.anarkismo.net/newswire.php?story_id=8456 A tour through a country at war, something I was reminded of by the wrapper around every Greyhound ticket which might as well have read 'If you broke or desperate enough to travel with us you might just join the army'. A country at war abroad in Iraq and Afghanistan, at war at home with its own population, excluding the political ones I witnessed at least half a dozen different sets of arrests on my tour. I heard of schools taking students in shifts each morning because of the lack of buses, I saw bridges that had collapsed due to under funding, heard of the mass layoffs in state after state and in the rust belt saw the destroyed industries and homes of a previous generations dreams. Some of these stories are told in the 4.5 hours of interview below and the 3 hours of interview already collated at http://www.indymedia.ie/article/86822 others will slowly fade from my memory. A handful more I blogged while travelling at http://anarchism.pageabode.com/blogs/andrewnflood

Who took the photo, is from another website ?
I went to the www.greyhound.com/rewards website, and cannot find the photo or advert.
I can't propagate info, until I know it's origin.
Any more info ?
Thanks
I took the photo - I must have bought around 30 Greyhound tickets and all came in that wrapper
