Apr 27: The Inquisition of Bertrand Russell (at Lucie Stern)
Posted on April 22nd, 2008 by Alex
In 1940, the philosopher Bertrand Russell was appointed to a position at City College of New York. That appointment generated a huge firestorm of criticism, and led to one of the most infamous legal cases of the era. Peter Stone, political theorist, member of the Humanist Community and of the Bertrand Russell Society, will discuss the case and the questions it still raises for us today.
The Humanist Community Forum will meet at 11am, Sunday, April 27. Instead of our usual location, we’ll meet in the Ballroom of the Lucie Stern Community Center, 1305 Middlefield in Palo Alto, this Sunday only.
