Philly DSA Night School: New Left 1968

The night school is back in full swing.

This time around, we'll talk about the tumultuous political uprisings of the 1960s, revisiting–fifty years later–the period of civil unrest now known as May '68. We'll also explore the legacy of groups such as Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), asking generally about the lessons and warnings of the New Left.

Readings:

• Birch, How Beautiful it Was
• Parker, SDS: Copping Out of American Life
• SDS, The Port Huron Statement

The Philly DSA Night School is intended as a forum for discussing thinkers, "-isms," and current trends in socialist politics. All meetings are free and open to the public, and are designed for all people regardless of previous experience.
