Public Forum: Young Radicals

How do artists stand up to be counted as citizens? Why do idealists fight for their ideals? On June 8, Public Forum welcomes back its founder, Jeremy McCarter, for a special event coinciding with his new book, Young Radicals, about idealistic young Americans risking their lives in the years of hope and calamity around WWI. A cast of America’s leading artist-activists will read Susan Glaspell’s extraordinarily timely 1917 play The People, then discuss the urgent question it raises: How do we fix the world when the world resists being fixed?
