Flashpoints: Protests and Controversies on Long Island in the ’70s
September 12 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
We Long Islanders don’t hesitate to make ourselves heard, and never was our fighting spirit more impactful than it was in the roiling years from 1967 to the early ’80s.
Join Amy Benjamin to revisit how we raised our voices for and against the Vietnam War, the Shoreham nuclear power plant, school desegregation, the Island Trees book censorship case, the Stony Brook University drug bust, and the Grumman environmental and military issues.
