DESCRIPTION:Militant resistance has a long history both domestically and 
 abroad.\n\nEvery day, people are fighting back against the Trump 
 Administration, corporations and the forces of hate. From the immigration 
 ban to the Dakota Access Pipeline to the normalization of white supremacy, 
 we are seeing new waves of resistance no longer taking any shit from the 
 authoritarian state. We see militant action appearing more and more 
 frequently challenging these powers that be,and challenging orderly liberal 
 political solutions.\n\nDomestically, forces from the martyrs at Haymarket 
 and the 1877 Great Railroad Strike (the only actual “general strike” in 
 American history) to the march on Blair Mountain and the Flint sit down 
 strikes to the Black Panthers, the American Indian Movement and the 
 anti-nuclear movement of the 1960s and 1970s have shaped American dissent 
 to capital and industry. Globally, people’s movements have ejected U.S. 
 Empire from places like Cuba and Vietnam and led global insurrections 
 against neo-liberalism from Chiapas, Mexico.\n\nNow we can use history as a 
 guide for more radical action and resistance.\n\nJoin us for a provocative 
 and exciting discussion with Dr. Robert Buzzanco, Professor of History at 
 the University of Houston, about militant and effective resistance to U.S. 
 Capital and Empire.\n\nThis event is another in a series of Diablo Rising 
 Tide events discussing militancy and escalation in social 
 movements.\n\nRobert Buzzanco is a Professor of History at the University 
 of Houston. He is author of 'Masters of War: Military Dissent and Politics 
 in the Vietnam Era' and 'Vietnam and the Transformation of American Life.' 
 He teaches courses in War, Globalization and Terrorism, Social Movements, 
 US Foreign Policy, and Twentieth Century History.\n\nWHAT:Resistance Works
