Peace on Earth? Not everywhere. 56 years later, and there's still no merry Christmas in war. Hyperallergic covers artist renditions of the Nativity throughout history, including the Joey Skaggs "Vietnamese Christmas Nativity Burning" in 1968. hyperallergic.com/973586/nat…

Exclusive from the Joey Skaggs Vault! Sept 22, 1968, Joey Skaggs took 60 bearded, beaded, long haired camera toting hippies sight-seeing to suburban Queens, giving the "squares" a taste of their own medicine. Skaggs called it his cultural exchange tour. bit.ly/hippietour

30 years ago, I staged the Dog Meat Soup hoax to expose racism in media. The backlash was intense, with racist attacks against all Asians. Today, similar fake news is spreading prejudice, targeting immigrants. Don’t be misled by divisive politicians. vimeo.com/130049206
