From 1968 to 2018: A Fifty Year Perspective on the American Left

Todd Gitlin (Columbia University), in interview with AJHS Executive Director Annie Polland, will speak about how his scholarship on the 1960s and the fracturing of the American Left informs contemporary debates. A Q&A session with the audience will follow.

The AJHS is home to collections representing diverse voices within the American Jewish left, including The Jewish Counter Culture Collection and records of organizations like North American Jewish Students’ Appeal, Trees and Life for Vietnam, and New Jewish Agenda.
