DESCRIPTION:Every July day has Laborfest events, some of which are missing from the red 
 letter listings. This "al fresco" textbook for all of us will teach the 
 importance of a general strike which we need to put an end to the profit 
 motive that is the cause of the budget "crisis" and war.  On July 17, we 
 are able to learn or relive a defining moment of a generation:  The 
 1968-1969 San Francisco State Labor-Student Strike that resulted in 
 establishing an Ethnic Studies Department focusing on African-American 
 studies, Chicano studies and other ethnic groups who comprise the majority 
 of the American workingclass.\n\nJuly 17, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM \nILWU Local 6
