Excerpt
On Friday, Oct. 3, 1980, the South Dakota Council of LHRAA died ... and was reborn as a part of the new South Dakota Peace and Justice Center. State LHRAA Coordinators, Bea Friesth and · Ruth Jones, joined with other members to create a Biblically-based ecumenical instrument to work with and for the churches of · South Dakota. (See November 1980 VANGUARD)
Primarily a membership organization, the Center depends largely upon individual support. For 1981, the three priorities determined by a membership poll are: the nuclear issue (arms race, uranium mining, nuclear power); Native American concerns;. and poverty and hunger. Modes of action include education through literature and public forums, demonstration, and direct involvement. In addition to its newsletter and mailings, the Center works through programs in each of 11 areas of the state.
