Well, First Of All I Think That We Have To Be Careful With Terms Like The Working Class, Obviously. When [karl] Marx Wrote About The Working Class He Was Writing About Something Much More Bounded Than We're Talking About.

There Was Always Resistance And There Was Always A Counter-narrative, But We Were Told All Through The Early Twentieth Century That Black People In The South Don't Want An Education, They Don't Want To Vote, They're Simple People, They Don't Want This, They Don't Want That.

I Was A Good Liberal In Some Sense At That Point. I Wanted To End A War. I Wanted To Support The Civil Rights Movement.

I Don't Think Of Myself As A Particularly Nostalgic Person.

The Truth Is That The Antiwar Movement Was Powered By The Working Class. The Students Were The Ones That Got The Media And So Forth, But It Was The Soldiers On The Ground Who Really Energized The Antiwar Movement In The Late Sixties.
