Contender is eugene v debs, the nations most celebrated world war i protester. This footage captures him on his return to his hometown of terre haute, indiana, following his release from prison by president harding after federal convictions stemming from those were protests, and tonight, we are in terre haute. Let me introduce you to one of the guests who will be with us tonight. His book is called democracys prisoner eugene v debs, the first world war, and the right to dissent. Why do you care about him . He was the central figure in the socialist movement at a time when it was a viable, growing, and important part of the american political culture. Is it interesting as a snapshot in time or did he have a lasting legacy, do you think . I think he and his fellow candidates managed to move the discussion forward in important directions that have affected the development of american democracy ever since. He is of his time but has had a long impact on us as well. We will have time to delv

Manchester center, vermont in 2009. Its wonderful for us to be here in a state where we feel the spirit of woodstock still lives, and we know there is a woodstock here too. I have to say, i kind of fit all three of the criteria you mentioned about people interested in the book. I was definitely interested in the topic from a historical, musical perspective for a long time. I wish i had been there, but i was 12 years old, living in North Carolina the time, so didnt get to go.
