Appeal to Reason pt2

Today is May 1st, International Workers Day, 2010 and we conclude our commemoration of the old socialist newspaper from Girard, Ks. 1895 - 1922, the Appeal to Reason, as published by J.A. Wayland and edited by the "fighting editor" Fred Warren. Professor John Graham contributed greatly to this effort on Radio Free Kansas along with Fred Whitehead, who we and our class brothers and sisters are greatly in debt to. We'll feature readings from Graham's book "Yours for the Revolution" (1991, University of Nebraska Press), a continuation of our discussion with him about the newspaper, music and more hidden heritage talks from Dr. Fred Whitehead. Musicians included: David Rovics, Utah Phillips, Frank Prophet, Billy Bragg digital tracks available below. We hope you appreciate this special edition of our show, by downloading it and sharing it with people in your life. History Matters!
