Revolution Then and Now: Four Authors Talk about Radical Change from the 1960s to Today

{ "name":"Revolution Then and Now: Four Authors Talk about Radical Change from the 1960s to Today", "description":"A quartet of maverick minds will take us on a wild ride of activism, defiance, and hard-won change. Bestselling journalist and historian David Talbot and New Yorker writer Margaret Talbot are known for pulling back the veil on social and political history. Their co-authored book, By the Light of Burning Dreams, brings to life “the second American revolution” of the 1960s and 70s (“necessary reading in our own tumultuous moment: an urgent reminder that change can happen and a vivid illustration of how it does”- Patrick Radden Keefe). The trailblazing activist Judy Gumbo could’ve stepped out of its pages: one of three female members of the satirical protest group the Yippies, she was deemed “the most anti-establishment and the most dangerous” by the FBI. Her memoir, Yippie Girl: Exploits in Protest and Defeating the FBI, is a riveting piece of living history. Moderated by activist Dante King (The 400 Year Holocaust: White America's Legal, Psychopathic, and Sociopathic Black Genocide - and the Revolt Against Critical Race Theory), this conversation will take us into the past to stoke our present fight for equity.
