The "Archives of Dissent" panel held at U.C. Berkeley 9/18/2008 can now be seen on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvRu_6qkAmA
The panel was part of a week-long series of Bay Area events titled "The Great Rehearsal" commemorating the worldwide upheavals of 1968, their impacts and legacies. Shannon Sheppard, director of the Holt Labor Library was invited to give extended remarks from the floor following the panel (midway through the video).
The
mission of the Holt Labor Library is to make available to
working people, activists, and scholars the theoretical,
historical, and experiential dimensions of the class
struggle in the advanced industrialized world in the 19th through 21st centuries. We invite
you to utilize the resources we have collected by browsing
our web pages and visiting our library in San
Francisco.
