SUMMARY:May 1968: What did it mean in Leeds? [It is forbidden to Forbid]
DESCRIPTION:Five people active in political organising in Leeds and elsewhere in 1968 will briefly reflect on their experiences and the relevance of May ’68 today\, aiming to provoke a wide-ranging discussion. \nBACKGROUND\nIn 1968 protests against the old order swept the world. From the general strike in France to the Tet offensive in Vietnam\, from the Black Panthers in the US to the student occupations in Paris\, the movement was contagious.\nAs the year progressed\, people increasingly gained a sense of their own collective power\, and the vulnerability of the ruling classes that had previously seemed unstoppable. Suddenly everything was up for grabs.\nBut this is not a nostalgia trip. We still live in world scarred by war\, exploitation and bigotry. 1968 still has a lot to teach us today. Come and join the debate about the lessons of that tumultuous year and hear what radical politics in Leeds in 1968 was like with a panel of activists who were there!\nSpeakers: Sarah Perrigo\, Lou Lavender\, Tom Steele\, Max Farrar and Mike McGrath. \nThe meeting is jointly sponsored by the Ford Maguire Society\, International Socialism Journal and Taking Soundings. \n
