DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents\n\nChris Hedges with Mickey Huff : A KPFA Zoom 
 Event\nOUR CLASS, Trauma and Transformation in an American Prison\n\nWith 
 the force of an Old Testament prophet Chris Hedges has denounced with 
 righteous eloquence the unjust distribution of wealth in this country, 
 decrying the moral decay of powerful elites. His latest book, Our Class, 
 lays bare the cruelty of the American penal system. \n\nSince 2013 Hedges 
 has taught courses in the college degree program offered by Rutgers 
 University at East Jersey State Prison and other state prisons. Having read 
 a number of plays with Hedges, his incarcerated students wrote a play of 
 their own, Caged, which ran for a month in 2018 to sold out audiences at 
 the Passage Theater in Trenton, New Jersey. \n\nOur Class is a chronicle of 
 a remarkable creative process, exploring the artistic and personal 
 discoveries that emerged. In this immensely readable and moving work, 
 Hedges brings to life the remarkable stories of the incarcerated men, who 
 speak for themselves, revealing with candor their  struggles to live lives 
 of dignity and purpose.\n\n"This book could change everything . . . .  It 
 could make graspable why today's prisons are contemporary slave 
 plantations.  I couldn't put it down and I tried."\n- Alice Walker\n\n"Raw 
 and intimate. . . . Combining searing, well-informed critiques of the U.S. 
 criminal justice system with sympathetic character profiles and 
 inspirational accounts of intellectual and emotional breakthroughs, this is 
 a powerful look at how creative expression can provide 'a taste of 
 freedom.'"\n- Publishers Weekly\n\nChris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning 
 journalist, the author of many books, and he currently writes for 
 Truthdig.\n\nMickey Huff is director of Project Censored.\n\nSuggested 
 Donation $5-$20.\n
