School of the Americas Protestors to Be Sentenced</B>
Tomorrow a Catholic nun, a Jesuit priest and three other anti-war activists will be sentenced in Columbus, Georgia for transforming a sign at the main gate of nearby Fort Benning. Fort Benning is the host of the School of the Americas, a U.S. training center for the Latin American military. In their September 29, 1997 public protest, the five pried metal letters off of the entrance sign, replacing them with ten words stenciled in red paint: "Home of School of Americas/ School of Shame," and "SOA = torture."
