Join us for an interview by Rethinking Schools editor Jesse Hagopian with activist scholars Bettina Aptheker, author of Intimate Politics: How I Grew Up Red, Fought for Free Speech, and Became a Feminist Rebel and Robert Cohen, author of The Essential Mario Savio: Speeches and Writings that Changed America. The workshop is co-sponsored by the University of California National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement.
Aptheker will describe her own involvement with the Free Speech Movement (FSM) and Cohen will trace the roots of the FSM back to the Black Freedom Struggle in Mississippi. Both will address the legacy of the Free Speech Movement and the current free speech crisis on campuses and other public institutions. We will share teaching ideas and there will be breakout group discussions about addressing the FSM in the classroom.
The first 100 teacher attendees to register and attend will receive a free copy of one of the books listed above. Professional development credit certificate provided.
