The Eugene V. Debs Reading Group will be reading Ray Ginger’s classic 1947 biography of U.S. socialist and labor leader Eugene V. Debs, The Bending Cross. The group will meet weekly from September through December. The goal of the group will be to become better acquainted with the life and work of one of our movement’s best-known leaders, as well as develop a broader understanding of the history of the U.S. socialist and labor movements. We will seek to discuss the successes and challenges of the early American labor movement and openly socialist electoral policies, as demonstrated in Debs’ times.

This event is open to both DSA Members and supporters.
