Although California is one of the bright spots on the post-recession landscape, a recent study described Los Angeles one of the most unequal cities in the United States. What can we learn from social movements of the recent past as we confront these challenges? The UCLA History Department is pleased to sponsor, as part of its ongoing Why History Matters series, a conversation between activists and historians about inequality, nonviolence, and the dream of a democratic society.
