In 1962, a group of college students met at a union retreat in Port Huron, Michigan—and wrote a document that changed political activism in America. Known as the Port Huron Statement, it became the foundation of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and launched the New Left movement of the 1960s.In this episode of End of the Road in Michigan, we tell the story of how one summer retreat on Lake Huron gave rise to a nationwide call for participatory democracy, student protest, and generational change.To read more about this story, check out, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) – How A Retreat in Port Huron Sparked the Student Protest Era of the 1960's

Former International Relations and Co-operations Minister Naledi Pandor says many South Africans bravely shaped the future of the country during the apartheid era. Dr Pandor says today is an important reminder to commemorate them for freedom and human rights that we enjoy today.

Rory McEntee is the the President and Executive Director of Charis Foundation for New Monasticism and Interspirituality, which he co-founded with Netanel Miles-Yépez and Adam Bucko. Rory holds a Ph.D. in Theological and Philosophical Studies in Religion from Drew University, has co-authored The New Monasticism: An Interspiritual Manifesto for Contemplative Living, and authored the forthcoming The Sacred/Secular Binary: Challenging the Divide in University Culture and Democratic Societies. In this episode, we look at the different ways in which people are ‘interspiritual' today and how interspirituality is not separate from historical religious traditions. We also explore the 'spiritual-but-not-religious,' an interspiritual path, the idea of ‘depth' in spirituality, the sacred/secular binary, and meeting God in everything. We then look at inter spiritual practice, the vertical and horizontal aspects of Charis Meditation, Charis Circles and the possibilities of interspiritual community, as well as the  Charis Snowmass Dialogues, and the twelve Charis Community Vows.Charis FoundationGolden Turtle SoundSupport the show

2024 has been dubbed the "year of elections," and it comes as democratic backsliding is on the rise. Now that Donald Trump is returning to the White House, what does that spell for the fate of democracy worldwide? Piya Chattopadhyay moderates the 2024 Stanfield Conversation – a series focusing on critical challenges to democracy and imaginative and inspiring responses to them – at Dalhousie University in Halifax. This year's featured guests are The Globe and Mail's international affairs columnist Doug Saunders and McGill University political scientist and Canada Research Chair in Racial Inequality in Democratic Societies, Debra Thompson.

After heart disease cancer is the leading cause of death in the US. Forty percent of Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Timely diagnosis and treatment of cancer has always been a concern made worse by the COVID pandemic and the ongoing problem of un- and under-insurance. Another reason for concern is the increasing use of networked-based social media sites used to advertise bogus cancer cures, particularly to Generation Z, or those 27 or under, who increasing use social media sites as de facto search engines. Dr. Baker's recent research reveals health disinformation is rife on TikTok via its “For You” algorithm that directs users to fake cures and conspiratorial content via primarily five themes including personal anecdotes, conspiracy theories and spiritual messaging. (Devoted listeners may recall I interviewed Harvard's Dr. Susan Linn two yrs ago next month re: her 2022 book, “Who's Raising the Kids?” a critique of the “kid tech” world's pernicious influence on children.)Prof. Baker's, article, “Link in Bio: Fake Cancer Cures, Radicalization and Disinformation on a Democratic Society,” is at: https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/pqs5e. Information regarding her most recent book, “Wellness Culture: How the Wellness Movement Has Been Use to Empower, Profit and Misinform,” is at: https://bookstore.emerald.com/wellness-culture.html.    Prof. Baker serves as Deputy Head of the Department of Sociology and Criminology and a Reader in Sociology at City St. George's, University of London.

Eighty percent of Saturdays in this month of November have already occurred if you include the one in which this edition of the Charlottesville Community Engagement podcast is released into the world. At one point, there was a podcast for every newsletter. When you're done listening to today's edition, why not go back to 2020? Thanks to paid subscriptions, I've been able to develop a body of work over the past four and a half years and have tracked a great deal of information. As we approach the next winter holiday, I will be reflecting on how grateful I am to those who support the work. Now, let's get to what's in here today. Each of the links goes to a story posted on Information Charlottesville, a companion to this newsletter. If you like what you read, why not share it with someone you think might want to know what's going on? This week's sonic stories: * Albemarle County continues work on the Comprehensive Plan update and will get outside help to review of how efficiently development area is used (learn more) * The Virginia Public Access Project has put together a more complete picture of turnout in the 2024 elections (learn more)* Arlington County will appeal a judicial ruling invalidating their program for providing middle missing housing (learn more) * Charlottesville City Council gets the first of three budget briefings intended to get their initial response to proposed new spending and City Manager Sam Sanders said he will try to recommend a budget without a tax increase (learn more) Charlottesville Community Engagement is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.First shout-out:  Cvillepedia! Both of today's shout-outs relate to the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society. Neither of these are paid for in any way. I really want you to know these things, beginning with cvillepedia. Cvillepedia is an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and this first shout for the November 23, 2024 edition seeks to provide a little bit about what I know. I helped create cvillepedia back in the late 2000's as a way of keeping track of all of the stories being written for the nonprofit news organization I worked for at the time. Now Cvillepedia is hosted by the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library under the stewardship of the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society. There are over 6,500 articles and we need volunteers to help keep it up to date and to capture more of this community's history, present, and future.  If you want to learn how to do research, learn how to explore historical documents, and want some experience writing, consider becoming a volunteer. To give you a sense of one potential project, Frances Brand painted dozens and dozens of portraits of people in the Charlottesville area. Who were they? What can we learn about where we are now by documenting the stories of everyone from Ruth Klüger Angress to Jay Worrall? More on Brand in the next shout-out? Questions? Drop me a line! There's even a Slack channel if you'd like to get involved!Second shout-out: ACHS taking orders for book profiling local artist Frances BrandIn the next shout-out for the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society: Frances Brand lived from 1901 to 1990 and in her later life she undertook a series of portraits of individuals from Charlottesville and Albemarle County that would become her Gallery of Firsts.Brand was a U.S. Army major, a civil rights activist, a world traveler, a devoted churchgoer, and an accomplished artist, among other things. Some remember her as a colorful eccentric who loved to dress in purple, while others knew her as a committed and lifelong social activist.Behind each of Brand's portraits of these 20th-century pioneers is a special story. To collect some of them, the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society has created a book that features 51 portraits from the full collection of currently known Firsts portraits and share some of the compelling stories about those depicted.ACHS is taking pre-sale orders now for shipping in November.

International technology policy expert, Stanford University academic, and former European parliamentarian Marietje Schaake writes in her new book that a “Tech Coup” is happening in democratic societies and fast approaching the point of no return. Both Big Tech and smaller companies are participating in it, through the provision of spyware, microchips, facial recognition, and other technologies that erode privacy, speech, and other human rights. These technologies shift power to the tech companies at the expense of the public and democratic institutions, Schaake writes.Schaake joins Bethany and Luigi to discuss proposals for reversing this shift of power and maintaining the balance between innovation and regulation in the digital age. If a "tech coup" is really underway, how did we get here? And if so, how can we safeguard democracy and individual rights in an era of algorithmic governance and surveillance capitalism?Marietje Schaake's new book, “The Tech Coup: Saving Democracy From Silicon Valley,” is available here.

We begin this episode with a look at popular culture of the early 60s, as Hollywood began making more technicolor epics such as "Lawrence of Arabia," and also increasingly addressed social issues in films like "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Judgment at Nuremberg." Folk artists like Joan Baez and Bob Dylan outcompeted rock-and-roll musicians for a place on the pop charts, but new bands such as The Beach Boys kept the spirit of rock alive. President John F. Kennedy tried to make the most of the optimistic mood of the early 1960s, but his domestic policy reforms were sometimes stifled by a conservative coalition in Congress. Among young people, new groups such as the right-wing Young Americans for Freedom and the left-wing Students for a Democratic Society questioned the centrist "Cold War consensus." We end this episode with a deep dive into the Ole Miss riot of September 1962, which was almost certainly the biggest single pro-segregation insurrection of the civil rights era. Despite the efforts of Dixiecrat politicians to foment "massive resistance" to integration, and the violence of vigilante mobs, African-American student James Meredith ultimately was able to enroll in and graduate from the University of Mississippi.Support the Show.

In a podcast episode, the host stresses the significance of altering our behaviors at different levels to ensure a sustainable future. The host discusses how individual behavior changes can significantly impact the environment. By reflecting on our daily routines, such as the food we eat, the products we use, and our resource consumption, we can make more sustainable choices that benefit the planet. Furthermore, the episode highlights the role of governments in implementing policies that promote environmental protection. The host discusses the need for political parties to prioritize climate change policies and work towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By voting for leaders who prioritize environmental conservation, individuals can contribute to larger-scale behavior changes that benefit the planet. The episode also emphasizes the importance of slowing down and enjoying life, rather than constantly striving for material growth. By taking the time to appreciate nature, cook from scratch, and engage in activities that promote well-being, individuals can lead more sustainable and fulfilling lives. This shift in mindset towards enjoying life and preserving the environment can lead to positive behavior changes that benefit the ocean and the planet as a whole. Slowing down and taking the time to enjoy life can have a profound impact on our behavior, as highlighted in the podcast episode. The host emphasized the importance of changing our mindset and behavior to protect the ocean and the planet. By slowing down and appreciating the simple moments in life, individuals can become more mindful of their actions and their impact on the environment. The episode discussed how the hustle and bustle of modern life often lead to convenience-driven choices that may not be sustainable or environmentally friendly. By rushing through daily routines, such as opting for fast food or processed meals, individuals may unknowingly contribute to environmental degradation. However, by taking the time to cook from scratch, enjoy nature, and savor the present moment, individuals can make more conscious choices that align with sustainability and environmental preservation. The host also highlighted the importance of enjoying life and finding moments of peace and relaxation, such as observing a sunset or sunrise. By immersing oneself in nature and appreciating the beauty of the world around us, individuals can cultivate a deeper connection to the environment and feel motivated to protect it. This shift in perspective can lead to positive behavior changes, such as reducing waste, choosing sustainable products, and advocating for environmental conservation. Overall, the episode underscored the transformative power of slowing down, enjoying life, and embracing a more mindful approach to daily living. By prioritizing moments of joy, relaxation, and connection with nature, individuals can cultivate a greater sense of responsibility towards the environment and make positive changes that contribute to a healthier planet. Individual actions, government policies, and community efforts are all crucial components in creating a sustainable future for our planet, as discussed in the podcast episode. Individual Actions: The podcast emphasizes the importance of individual behavior change in contributing to a better environment. It encourages listeners to reflect on their daily routines and consider how they can make more sustainable choices. By slowing down, enjoying life, and being mindful of their consumption habits, individuals can positively impact the environment. This includes choices such as cooking from scratch, reducing reliance on processed foods, and taking time to appreciate nature. Government Policies: The episode highlights the significance of government policies in driving environmental change. It discusses the role of democratic societies where citizens have the power to vote for leaders who prioritize environmental protection. The example of contrasting climate change policies between political parties in Canada underscores the impact of government decisions on sustainability efforts. The podcast stresses the need for politicians and parties to propose and implement effective climate change policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and work towards global environmental goals. Community Efforts: Community engagement and collective action are also essential for building a sustainable future. The podcast suggests that communities, cities, towns, and regions need to come together to address environmental challenges. By working collaboratively, communities can implement local initiatives, promote sustainable practices, and advocate for environmental conservation. The episode emphasizes the importance of community-level involvement in supporting broader environmental goals and influencing positive change. In conclusion, the podcast underscores the interconnected nature of individual actions, government policies, and community efforts in shaping a sustainable future. By recognizing the role of each of these components and actively participating in environmental conservation at various levels, individuals can contribute to a healthier planet for future generations.

It's Tuesday and we're rounding up the big stories of the week. First, the anti-war protest camp that ran for more than three weeks on Auraria campus was dismantled over the weekend, but questions remain over what led to the decision. Then, is violent crime a growing issue for Colorado? According to a new report from US News and World Report, we're the 3rd most dangerous state in America — but a closer look at the data reveals a more complex picture. Finally, the City of Denver says sales of illegal hot dogs are on the rise, leaving us wondering: what's so bad about an non-permitted dog? Host Bree Davies is joined by Westword editor Patty Calhoun to dig into these stories, plus a listener comment shines a light on the Stanley Hotel's recent film industry past.  Bree mentioned a statement posted to Instagram by the Students for a Democratic Society after the dismantling of the Auraria encampment. We also discussed our previous episode on the fate of the Stanley Hotel and the original Stanley Film Festival that ran from 2013-2015. We also talked about our past episode on auto theft numbers going down.  We're doing our annual survey to learn more about our listeners.

The political turbulence of the 1960s has been well documented. and one name that appears prominently in that story is Tom Hayden.One of the founders of the Students For a Democratic Society, Hayden was also a Freedom Rider in the south, fighting for civil rights, but also became one of the leading young voices against the Vietnam War. In the historically tumultuous 1968, Hayden was among several high profile demonstrators at the notorious Democratic National Convention in Chicago. They were eventually brought to trial and became known as The Chicago Seven. In this 1988 interview, Hayden discusses his memoir Reunion.

This Vermont Conversation originally broadcast in April 2015.Tom Hayden was a leader of the student, civil rights, peace and environmental movements of the 1960s. He went on to serve 18 years in the California legislature. He was a founder of Students for a Democratic Society and was described by the NY Times as “the single greatest figure of the 1960s student movement.” Hayden died in October 2016 at the age of 76.During the Vietnam War, Hayden made controversial trips to Hanoi with his former wife, actress Jane Fonda, to promote peace talks and facilitate the release of American POWs. He helped lead street demonstrations against the war at the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention, where he was beaten, gassed and arrested twice. Hayden was indicted in 1969 with seven others on conspiracy and incitement charges in what eventually became the Chicago Seven trial, considered one of the leading political trials of the last century (the trial began as the Chicago Eight but became the Chicago Seven when the case against codefendent Bobby Seale, co-founder of the Black Panther Party, was severed from the others). The trial was the subject of the 2020 Hollywood movie, “The Trial of the Chicago Seven,” in which Hayden was played by actor Eddie Redmayne.Hayden was Director of the Peace and Justice Resource Center in Culver City, California, and advised former California Gov. Jerry Brown on renewable energy. He was the author and editor of 20 books.I spoke with Hayden in March 2015 at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, where Hayden spoke at the 50th anniversary of the first Vietnam War teach in held on a US college campus.I asked Hayden what he was proudest of in his long career of activism. "Living this long and being able to have children and grandchildren, and to observe the spread of participatory democracy and to see — despite all the failures of the left and the lack of organization, the infighting, the sectarianism, the feuds — that wave after wave of young people keep coming," he replied."I'm proudest of the fact that there's some instinct in being human that aspires to greater things than your parents had, a better world than the one that you were born into." 

Since the increasingly deadly War on Gaza began, many Americans have protested against the war, with college campuses acting as a center for protests and anti war sentiment. The New York Times notes that a “sustained antiwar protest like the one against the Gaza invasion has not been seen for decades,” -- arguably, since the Vietnam War, with activists drawing parallels between the two. KCSB's Zoha Malik spoke with leftist activist and UCSB professor emeritus Dick Flacks, who was a founder of the antiwar and leftist group Students for a Democratic Society in the 60s, to learn more.

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Vladimir Lenin. A couple months ago we had the pleasure of speaking with Paul Le Blanc, the author of a new book entitled Lenin: Responding to Catastrophe, Forging Revolution.  Paul Le Blanc is an activist dating all the way back to Students for a Democratic Society or SDS in the 1960's. He is also an acclaimed historian who teaches at La Roche University in Pennsylvania. He is the author of too many books to name, but several on Lenin, Trotsky, CLR James, Rosa Luxemburg and other revolutionaries and movements. We talk to Le Blanc about Lenin's flexibility, his understanding of Marxism as not a dogma, but a guide to action, his belief that ordinary people could and must change the world, and his childhood. We also get into the concept of the United Front, Lenin's experiences working with individuals who did not share his ideology, his understanding of dialectics, and his fierce commitment to struggle and to constant learning from struggle. Paul shares some thoughts on Lenin's analysis of imperialism, his concept of revolutionary defeatism, and the question of authoritarianism, bureaucratization, and democracy through examples in Lenin's life and leadership as well as what he advocated on these issues at the end of his life. We close with some thoughts from Le Blanc on today and the type of approach he thinks organizations and parties need to undertake in today's world in order to change it once again before it's too late. We deeply appreciate Paul Le Blanc for taking the time to talk to us about his book which is available now from Pluto Press.  We would like to thank Aidan Elias who did the lion's share of the production work on this episode.  If you appreciate the work that we do, the best way to support the show, to stay updated on our study groups, follow any writings Josh or I may publish, and keep track of our work on both YouTube and our audio podcast feed is to become a patron of the show.

Jeffrey Haas is the author of The Assassination of Fred Hampton. He is an attorney and the cofounder of the People's Law Office, whose clients included the Black Panthers, Students for a Democratic Society, community activists, and a large number of those opposed to the Vietnam War. Mr. Haas joins me again to discuss the power of Fred Hampton not only in life but the reverberations of his death through history since December 4th, 1969. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/out-of-the-blank/support

An often overlooked governmental body at the state Capitol drew much attention Wednesday. The Minnesota State Board of Investment — which includes Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and other top officials — had to meet in a larger room than usual, and one that made entry and exit for state officials more accessible.That's because pro-Palestinian and Jewish groups gathered there to weigh in on the state's foreign investments. The board manages public pension accounts and other investments. Those benefiting Israel make up $116.3 million dollars, or 0.14 percent of the state's portfolio, according to the governor's office.“As a nurse, this latest bombing campaign — unprecedented in the century by every measure of death and destruction — was unimaginable,” retired nurse Sarah Martin said during the meeting's public comment period. “Hospitals were at the center of Israel's attacks. My pension, which I get because I took care of sick and injured people in a state-of-the-art hospital just down the street, was used to destroy the hospitals of Gaza.”Human Rights Watch on Sunday said its investigation into an Oct. 17 strike on Gaza's Al-Ahli hospital suggests a Hamas misfire caused that blast. But Israeli bombardments have caused massive death and destruction, including at hospitals. Israel's military says Hamas uses the facilities as shields for an underground network of tunnels.The retired nurse, Martin, along with five other speakers, asked the state to divest from Israel and weapons manufacturers. The activists said the board moved on its own to divest from South Africa in the 1980s in response to apartheid, pointing to it as a precedent for the actions they want the board to take now.It's part of a global movement known as Boycott, Divest, Sanctions or BDS. Supporters want institutions and governments to withdraw investments in Israel. Some in the Jewish community say the movement is anti-Semitic.“Divestment as part of the Boycott, Divest, Sanction movement would be a profound mistake. You don't divest from the victim of an attack,” State Sen. Ron Latz, DFL-St. Louis Park, said at a press conference before the meeting.The Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas organized the press conference, where Latz and other Jewish community leaders spoke about the anguish that the Israeli people and some of their friends and relatives in Minnesota are feeling in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks. And they said pulling state money from businesses there would only make things worse.Meanwhile, about seven miles west of events at the Capitol, dozens of University of Minnesota students and faculty donned Palestinian keffiyeh scarves and walked out of classes to raise awareness and support for Palestinians.“Some professors are worried about canceling class and missing important content for their students. What I have to say to that is, this right here is the content,” said anthropology and global studies professor Serra Hakyemez.Students for a Democratic Society organized the walkout. As for the investment board, it did not indicate whether Wednesday's actions would change its investment practices. Its members thanked people for their comments and ended the meeting without engaging further with the crowd.If it does take action — as it did in 2022 with Russia and Belarus and in 2009 with Iran — it will not be swift. The state typically will gradually withdraw its investments to avoid hurting pensions. For example, six months after the 2022 law went into effect, the state still had about $1 million invested in businesses tied to Russia or Belarus, with about 30 percent of those targeted for divestment. Both laws also have language exempting humanitarian relief, education and journalism organizations.

Luke joins Gil Shaeffer, a former member of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and author of "You Can't Use Weatherman to Show Which Way the Wind Blew” to talk about the SDS, the New Left, and the centrality of democratic republicanism to Marxism. Gil discusses his path to joining SDS in the late 1960s, the impact of figures like C Wright Mills, the little-remembered March on Fort Dix, and the meaning of “participatory democracy.” He explains how SDS and the New Left are presented in popular histories (including the work of Kirkpatrick Sale), and the motivation behind writing his history of the period. Gil ends by discussing the present moment and the ongoing struggle for a democratic revolution.

Eric Mann and Channing Martinez discuss the moral collapse of U.S. imperialism • Emmett Till—July 25, 1941—August 28, 1955—a young Black man who held his head high and sparked the civil rights movement and touched the lives of millions. • Jeffery St. Clair—Counterpunch, Roaming Charges---the Ecological catastrophe of Spokane Washington and the Katrina like racism of the system's decimation of Lahaina. • Kirkpatrick Sale, author of the great book, SDS about Students for a Democratic Society, 50 year edition on “It's not climate change, it's the burning to death of the planet”. • Eric and Channing on Eric's Book: on the 18th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Katrina's Legacy: The Black Nation and the People of the World Confront the U.S White Settler State And its genocidal Climate Crimes. • The white racist, Ryan Christopher Palmeter and the murder of 3 Black innocents—Angela Michelle Carr, 52; Jerrald Gallion, 29; and Anolt Joseph “AJ” Laguerre Jr., 19. • Eric Mann's commentary—if you are an anti-imperialist socialist you can't call for socialism in the United States. You can't socialize U.S. imperialism, can't socialize the white settler state, can't socialize 800 U.S. Military bases or 1 million Black people in prison—a true socialist would support socialism in China, Cuba, Venezuela, and build an anti-racist, anti-fascist, anti-imperialist Resistance against U.S. imperialism—Trump and Biden—to help protect the Third World inside and outside the U.S., the people and the planet.

In this episode we explore the intersections of philosophy, economics, and societal norms, guided by the insights of philosophers such as Molly Farneth, Hegel, Aristotle, and John Dewey, as well as contemporary thinkers like Benjamin Studebaker. We explore Studebaker's article "The Catholic Profit of Inequality" from Compact Magazine, examining its critique of wealth disparity from the early Christian era to the present day. Through this exploration, we engage with complex ideas about virtue, morality, societal habits, and the potential for reconciliation in our divided society.Links to article and Books: The Catholic Prophet of Inequality by Benjamin Studebaker Hegel's Social Ethics by Molly Farneth The Politics of Ritual by Molly Farneth Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics (Revised)Topics: Hegel's Influence on Modern Society Aristotle's Virtue Ethics John Dewey's Emphasis on Habits Studebaker's Critique of Wealth Disparity The Role of Economic Conditions The Importance of Recognition and Reconciliation The Impact of Capitalization on Essential Aspects of Life The Role of Rituals in Society The Interplay of Economic Prosperity and Moral Flourishment The Potential of Pragmatism in Bridging DividesFurther Info: Contact: revivingvirtue@gmail.com Music by Jeffrey Anthony Bookshop page: https://bookshop.org/shop/RevivingVirtue

In this episode Jeremy takes to the lectern for a two-hour mega-episode on the New Left in the second half of the Twentieth Century (and beyond). Picking up in the 1950s, where our previous episode concluded, we chart the full emergence of the New Left in various locations on both sides of the Atlantic, including the Students for a Democratic Society, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, the anti-Vietnam war movement and more. Jeremy spends time explaining the pivotal year of 1968, with its raft of political assassinations, violent disorder at the Chicago Democratic Convention, and the barricades of Paris, set alongside the work of crucial thinkers like EP Thompson and Raymond Williams. Jeremy contests the prevailing notion that the New Left laid the groundwork for the bourgeois individualism of the 80s, showing how its focus on anti-racist, feminist, anti-authoritarian politics, along with demands for maximum democratic freedom, can be traced all the way to the Bernie Sanders movement. Jeremy relates the politics of the New Left to a series of musical scenes, including Krautrock in Germany, proto-punk in Detroit, West Coast acid rock, Feminist post-punk, Hawkwind, the Pet Shop Boys and more.

Join Luke Stewart, Cathy Wilkerson, and Alice Lynd for a conversation on Staughton Lynd's struggle against the war in Vietnam. Staughton Lynd was one of the principal intellectuals and activists making the radical argument that the U.S. intervention in Vietnam was illegal under domestic and international law. Lynd was uncompromising in his courageous stance that the U.S. should immediately withdraw from Vietnam, and that soldiers and draftees should refuse to participate in the war based on their individual conscience and the Nuremberg Principles of 1950. Lynd's writings, speeches, and interviews against the war are collected in the recently released My Country is the World. For this launch event that volume's editor, Luke Stewart, will be joined by Cathy Wilkerson and Alice Lynd for a discussion of Staughton and Alice's activism against the war and its lessons for today's anti-imperialist struggles. Get My Country is the World from Haymarket: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1956-my-country-is-the-world Speakers: Luke Stewart is a historian focusing on the antiwar movements during the Vietnam War and the global war on terror. He has co-edited Let Them Stay: U.S. War Resisters in Canada, 2004-2016. He currently lives in Nantes, France. Cathy Wilkerson joined Students for a Democratic Society in 1963, supporting an active civil rights movement in Chester, PA. She continued with SDS after college, becoming editor of New Left Notes and then an organizer with the SDS Washington DC Region. After the assassination of Fred Hampton in 1969 she joined Weatherman, remaining a fugitive until 1980. After getting out of prison, she worked with the Attica civil suit, and then as an educator in NYC public schools for 20 years. See also Flying Close to the Sun, My Life as a Weatherman (2007). Staughton and Alice Lynd (respondant) were married for more than 71 years, having met during Harvard Summer School in the summer of 1950. While Staughton spoke, wrote, and in other ways opposed the Vietnam War, Alice expressed her concerns through collecting and publishing We Won't Go: Personal Accounts of War Objectors (Beacon Press, 1968), and becoming a draft counselor. We Won't Go was the Lynds' first venture into doing oral history or, as Staughton put it, Doing History from the Bottom Up! (Haymarket, 2014). The Lynds partnered in editing Rank and File: Personal Histories by Working-Class Organizers (Haymarket, expanded edition, 2011). See also, Stepping Stones: Memoir of a Life Together (Lexington Books, 2009); Moral Injury and Nonviolent Resistence: Breaking the Cycle of Violence in the Military and Behind Bars (PM Press, 2017); and Nonviolence in America: A Documentary History (Orbis Books, 3d ed. 2018).

The American Indian Student Cultural and Students for a Democratic Society organized a protest outside of Humphrey Hall on March 17 asking for expansion of the Native American Promised Tuition Program. 

"Don't you know how to make widgets!?!?" This question and many more are answered in this episode of Unlimited Opinions as we look at modern theories of democracy! We discuss the differences between ancient and modern democracy, the Social Democracy of John Dewey, the Realistic Democracy of Joseph Schumpeter, the ridiculous ideas of the Students for a Democratic Society, and much more! We also might have broken the record for most tangential rants in one episode, as we rant about Student Government; the necessity of impeachment; diversity, equity, and inclusion training, and so, so, so much more!  Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinions

This episode is focused into the death of Fred Hampton and features two figures and past guests who have done extensive research into this young activists life and death. Jeffrey Haas is the author of The Assassination of Fred Hampton. He is an attorney and the cofounder of the People's Law Office, whose clients included the Black Panthers, Students for a Democratic Society, community activists, and a large number of those opposed to the Vietnam War. Craig Ciccone is a independent historian and has done great work in both the JFK and Fred Hampton assassination. Craig is known for his JFK work but his focus of 30 years has been looking through documents and filing FOI requests for more information on corruption in our government that led to the death of Fred Hampton. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/out-of-the-blank-podcast/support

On this edition of Parallax Views, attorney and author Patrick Schmidt joins us to discuss his fascinting new book Harvard's Quixotic Pursuit of a New Science: The Rise and Fall of the Department of Social Relations. Patrick details the ambitious academic project that attempted to bring together different disciplines like psychology, anthropology, and sociology under one umbrella and why it ultimately failed. It's a story that involves the sociologist Talcott Parsons (known for his contributions to the functionalist perspective of sociology), 1960s counterculture psychedelic gurus Timothy Leary and Ram Dass, the radical leftist Students for a Democratic Society, and even questionable experiment done to Theodore Kaczsynski years before he became infamous as the Unabomber. This conversation will lead us into multiple different directions including: - The formation of the Department of Social Relations and how it was an ambitious project that flew in the face of Harvard's conservative approach to academia - Talcott Parsons role as the ringleader of the department and what it sought to achieve in the post-WWII world - Sigmund Freud and the influence of psychoanalysis - Dr. Henry A. Murray and the story of the experiments done on Ted Kacyzinski while the future Unabomber was attending Harvard (including a little bit of discussion about the CIA and MK-ULTRA) - Timothy Leary involvement with Harvard, Leary's evolution into the bad boy of academia and a counterculture guru, the rise of LSD and the pharmaceutical company Sandoz, Timothy Leary vs. Aldous Huxley, and the ways in which Leary, Ram Dass, and other may have set research into psychedelics back a number of years through their activities - The Students for a Democratic Society's involvement in the department ultimately leading to the department's downfall - And much, much more!
