This week we start a multi-part series on political violence across the 20th century. We are kicking things off here in the U.S. by examining a largely memory holed element of the 1960's counter culture: The Weather Underground. Join us as we dust off those old Bob Dylan records and channel our in Boomer to tell the story of how "great" things used to be during America’s Days of Rage.Show Notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pfls3G-N_uU0tmpoAZsY1sior4JVaaaPxzHNqhtM3xE/edit?usp=sharing
