Round Bend Press: Meeting Michael Harrington

Round Bend Press: Meeting Michael Harrington:

"Sadly, Harrington died too young, in 1989 at age 61, from throat cancer. Before he died, he was instrumental in coalescing American socialists in a new organization, the Democratic Socialists of America. Harrington loved socialism and democracy. He held great hope, he held a great vision.

I think about him and that night all the time. That night and the Boston march were the only times I met the man, but they were enough. To this day I believe his ideas are right."

Terry Simons' blog is turning into the serialization of a fascinating memoir. Highly recommended.
