SUMMARY:Dissent in the Streets of Washington: Protest\, Presidential Power and Mass Arrests
DESCRIPTION:In this volatile election season\, it's useful to recall that 
 the unsettling political climate of the 2020s holds many parallels to the 
 1960s and 1970s. That earlier time also featured divisive presidential 
 campaigns\; mass protests about war abroad and justice at home\; 
 assassinations\; and even an attack on the U.S. Capitol. Many of the 
 struggles played out on the streets of Washington\, D.C.\, as they so often 
 have done throughout our history.\n\nThis discussion will focus on the 
 long-forgotten events of spring 1971\, arguably the most intense season of 
 dissent in the history of the capital. Lawrence Roberts\, author of MAYDAY 
 1971: A White House at War\, a Revolt in the Streets\, and the Untold 
 History of America's Biggest Mass Arrest\, will revisit those days and the 
 lessons we may apply to our current moment.\n\nLawrence Roberts is a 
 long-time editor of investigative journalism who has worked at the 
 Washington Post\, ProPublica\, Bloomberg News\, and the Hartford Courant\, 
 and was executive editor of the Huffington Post Investigative Fund.
