“ Michael Harrington
and Today's Other America ”
Join us for:
Harrington’s book The Other America, a groundbreaking study of poverty in America, was published 50
years ago, in 1962. Read by President Kennedy, it was a
driving force behind the "war on poverty."The
documentary includes a brief history of socialism in
America, and raises questions concerning the merits
and relevance of unions today, and the problems of
migrant workers, farmers, economic disparity, inner
cities and our health care system. Join us for a
discussion after the movie.
