Listen "Carl Sandburg on Kalamazoo"
Episode Synopsis
In Carl Sandburg's poem Kalamazoo he describes the city as "convict gray, dishwater drab". But he also shows Kalamazoo as symbolic of America. The current upsurge against the U.S. government's financial and political support for Israel's destruction of Gaza has become part of this dynamic - the movement is seen in the major universities of our country but it has awoken also in mainstream America and its schools and unions and churches. It parallels the movements against the Vietnam War in the 1960s to the fight against U.S. policies in Central America and South Africa in the 1980s to today's support for Palestine. Hosted on Acast.
