MONTHLY PROGRAM

Amid all the nostalgia about the landmark cultural events of the 1960s, what usually gets forgotten is any deeper understanding of the radical challenges and sobering lessons from the time. What can we learn from the cultural revolution of the past as we try to build our own culture of resistance today?

Meet the new members of the board of directors. The annual meeting will be held just before the program begins.

David Talbot is the author of Season of the Witch, which spent more than four years on the San Francisco Chronicle bestseller list, as well as the New York Times bestseller, The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA and the Rise of America’s Secret Government. He is the founder of the pioneering online publication, Salon, and a columnist for the Chronicle. He is at work on a new book about the heroes of the 1960s and ’70s and how they inspired us and fell tragically short of their goals.
