My friend Robert Rosenstone asked me to share this with anyone who may be interested.
Robert A. Rosenstone invites you SAVE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17 6 pm Pacific Coast Time – 9 pm Eastern Time ZOOM WEBINAR ON JOHN REED poet, journalist, radical, revolutionary on the 100th anniversary of his death in Moscow https://hbs.zoom.us/j/96580026918?pwd=VzNIY2JIdFEwYzlYL3lqajNON1NkZz09&from=msft Meeting ID: 965 8002 6918 Password: 672740 Please RSVP to me at [email protected] if you plan to attend. Authors Robert A. Rosenstone and Kenneth Z. Chutchian will explore the life and legacy of one of America’s most important radicals, John Reed–author of Ten Days That Shook the World, the classic eyewitness account of the Bolshevik Revolution. In a session moderated by Scott Glidden, we will elaborate on his life, beliefs, career, and enduring importance in these troubled and chaotic times. Both of us are biographers of Reed – my Romantic Revolutionary was published in 1975 and Ken’s John Reed: Radical Journalist, 1887-1920, in 2019. Reed’s life was the subject of the film, Reds (1982), directed by Warren Beatty and winner of three Academy Awards. Years before his experiences in the Russian Revolution, Reed was an editor of The Masses (the underground monthly of the vibrant Greenwich Village counter culture of artists and radicals), an honored poet, short story writer, and highly-paid journalist, famous for reports from labor conflicts, the Mexican Revolution, and both the Western and Eastern Fronts of World War One. In 1919 he helped to organize the Communist Labor Party of the United States, and his death in Russia of typhus came after he served as a delegate of that party to the Communist International. We hope you join us for this event, as we share insights into the life of this often overlooked, but important poet, journalist, and romantic radical revolutionary. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
