LIVING IN THE FUTURE ([link removed])
Tuesday, October 10, 2023, 5pm PST
Join us for a discussion of interracial experiments and activism that influenced New Deal programs. Victoria Wolcott, winner of the 2022 New Deal Book Award will be joined in conversation by Kimberley Johnson, NYU Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis. They will discuss Wolcott's deeply researched book, Living in the Future: Utopianism and the Long Civil Rights Movement, and the little-known histories of American utopian activism that inspired the Civil Rights Movement and the activists who dreamed of a better world and fought to build it. REGISTER ([link removed]) for the free Zoom event.
