BNN News Interview with Michael Ansara, Author of "The Hard Work of Hope"

Описание: In the 1970s, thousands of anti-war activists protested the Vietnam War by staging sit-ins, marching in the streets, and making their voices heard through community organizing. Today, we can see the resemblances in these moments of activism, as the next generation of progressives redesigns the movement that takes on the unjust systems of oppression that continue to demoralize minorities and drive further division. In these moments, we look to the past to learn from the mistakes and successes of the previous era of activism. Michael Ansara, who witnessed and participated in the Vietnam War protests of the 1970s, recounted his learning lessons and documented the progress made by their protests in his new book The Hard Work of Hope. We sat down with Michael to discuss the book and how we can take notes from the past to lead us into a more just future.
