An amazing conversation between John and his longtime friend Stu Levitan, author of the landmark new book,
“Madison in the Sixties.” We explored the resonance with the themes in the book with Stu’s life, and his own experiences of Madison, and the process and choices that went into the writing of this fascinatingly encyclopedic history. The story of the 60s Stu relates defies ideology and easy boxes, and is full of some amazing surprises.
The Vietnam war protest era, civil rights and women’s rights, urban development, historic preservation…. just a few of the subjects we explore, alongside their resonance with the people and issues of today. One of the most engaging conversations we’ve ever had on Forward Forum. Thanks, Stu, for an amazing book, and a marvelous conversation!
