AMERICAN LEFT HISTORY

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager

“Music — and art in general — serves to remind us of humanity’s noble side: the aspiration for beauty, meaning, and the deepest expressions of the human spirit. Music also has, over the centuries, brought people of disparate backgrounds and cultures together, people who in other circumstances would be at odds or even at war. It is a great source of pleasure to me personally, and to those musical friends who join in these concerts, to know that music can also help in a tangible way to aid the cause of peace through the work of Mass Peace Action. I hope you will join us at these concerts and support the cause of a more peaceful world.” – Victor Rosenbaum
