In this episode, you’ll hear the first part of an interview with Duncan Kennedy by Rio Pierce. In this part, Kennedy discusses the value of oral histories and delves into a personal and cultural history of CLS. He touches on ideas like: 

• What it really means when we refer to “the elite”
•  How the substance of movement politics might be affected by its leaders’ childhood and family life
• What it means to be a self-serving, solidaristic, and ethically imperfect radical
• How the tumult of the 60s and shared experiences of a generation informed the movement as a whole.
